hey all, new to mining and i have a couple questions. i'm running crossfired 6950's. when i select which device to run on, i can only select 1 of my cards, do i need to have two instances of the gui running at the same time? also, if you could tell me which flags i should be using for my cards that'd be a great help.

Forgive me my ignorance, but isn't crossfiring using 2 cards as one? Would it be strange to have just one card in the list?
If not, then you just indeed have to run two miners, but the program can run both in one view. [File > New OpenCL Miner]

That being said... The Accepted column remains on 0(0)

EDIT:

W0000t, I have an accepted ... hash?
how much "accepted" should I have before it's reflected to my bitcoin application?

Oh, I actually meant "bitcoin.exe -server" instead of bitcoind, my bad. Don't know if it makes any difference, though.

I wondered about that aswell. One would assume bitcoind.exe to be a deamon therefor usable for the server.

I have a feeling somehow it's being blocked, but I am not sure... What is a bit frustrating, is that bitcoin.exe has no console-log, and bitcoind.exe no output at all..
The console of the guiminer application doesn't help much either.

Can one set the port for the server?

Now I'll be damned... I just re-extracted guiminer, set the port to 8333 -> connection problems, set the port back to 8332 -> It connected!

I am just getting started with bitcoin, and am running into problems already.

I have added both the bitcoin.exe file and the entire folder of guiminer.exe into Comodo Firewall/Defense+ as "Trusted file" but the GUIMiner just appears to stick to "Connecting...".
...

You should stop "generate coins" on bitcoin client. Did it downloaded block chain by the way ?

And if you really want to solo mine, use bitcoind and setup rpc=username and rpcpassword=password in your bitcoin.conf in %appdata%/roaming/bitcoin.

I now did the following
  • Stop both miners
  • Started the bitcoind.exe in the deamon folder. (for good measure, I also added it to the trusted-files-list of Comodo)
  • It showed an empty console-screen (I had to copy the .dll from the bitcoin.exe-folder to the deamon folder for it to work)
  • Started both miners again
  • After a few minutes, still no result other than the aforementioned

Does bitcoind.exe have parameters which I should use?
Can I give other information which might help? I am not using any flags btw.

I have setup the correct path to the bitcoin.exe-file and have setup the username/password (which can't be changed afterwards, as it seems?).

I currently have set 2 miners, 1 on my GPU (ATi-HD4350) and one on my CPU (i3). In the summary they are both at the status "Connecting...". I have selected "Generate Coins" on the bitcoin program, and the fan on the GPU runs faster if I check the box while it slows when I uncheck the box, so it appears to be working...

The Bitcoin program also shows "1839 khash/s" in the statusbar, but only showing 1 connection, and the accepted column on the miner remains 0(0).

What is awry here?
