REALLY need some help please.... A LOT  of issues going on as of right now. Latest issue is I cant even get GUIMiner to start after clicking the icon. It's like it crashes. I deleted it many times and re-downloaded the files and different versions but nothing is working. I go down to my task bar and I see the icon for GUIMiner but when I hover over it as soon as I get to it is goes away. Here are some error messages I was getting before this issue started....

pit.deepbit.net:8332 , IO errord - 1, tolerance 2

I also get long poll IO error.

I'm using the GUIMiner - v2012-12-03
Device: [0-0] Juniper
CPU Affinity: 1,2
Extra flags: -v -w128

Windows7 64

pit.deepbit.net:8332 06/04/2013 02:45:37, warning: job finished, 0:0Juniper is idle

pit.deepbit.net:8332 07/04/2013 03:42:05, 'None Type' object has no attribute 'settimeout'

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'stop'

Here are some screen shots when I could still start the miner...

Please help me I'm going crazy here. I have about $1000 worth of GPU and PSU to install but I dont want to do any of that until I know everything is going to work.

Thank you so much,
Jon

I'm getting all the same issues.  And i'm using deepbit.  I wonder if it has something to do with them?  I'm mining on two win7 x86 machines.  One win7 x64 machine and one mac.  Guiminer on all of them and the mac is the only one not having the issue.

Last time i checked, 5770 was one of the best at $/Mhash and W/Mhash
And it is as low-end as it gets.

According to the chart here: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison

It's still behind a 5830 and 5850 for $/Mhash

What is the purpose of having multiple workers on the website?  Do I need one for each computer I have here at home mining or can multiple computers use the same worker account?

So what command do I use to launch poclbm and connect to my deepbit account in OSX?  I know how to do it for windows but can't find the command for OSX.

I've been reading and trying to understand this but i'm just not finding the answers.

I have many computers in my home and want to set them all to mining. When installing bitcoin on each one they each get their own address. How do I have the work done by all these machines consolidated under one account?
I have various windows machines and an imac.

I'd like to run my own pool but i'm getting the impression that it may just not be worth it and joining a pool would be best? I'd still like to put all my computers to work on this.  My imac is a 2011 with the AMD 6970m,  my main PC has a 460GTX.  I have two other machines with a Radeon 3350 and 5570.  And another with a Nvidia 8800GT.  The a few other computers with onboard video(Intel G45).
If it's financially viable I can swap out the 460GTX for 3 AMD cards as that motherboard supports it.

I think it'd be better for you to mine at bigger pool.

You can run bitcoin app as server from one of your machines and then point the other miners to it.
You'll need mining software like GUI miner (http://forum.bitcoin.org/?topic=3878.0), python, pheonix, etc. for each machine.

Haven't tried mining on a mac yet, I dare not try especially on iMacs as they tend to run very hot even on normal use.

Create a worker account at a pool of your choice, you can use that account to run multiple miners.

With the GPUs that you listed, you won't be hashing too much and they will cost quite a bit to run. If you have access to free electricity, then by all means...

Electricity here is cheap so i'm not too worried about that but if i'm not going to get much from the other machines I won't bother with them.
The imac can run hot while gaming but I can also manually crank the fan up to keep it within reason.

I do have a bitcoin client and server running now on my main PC.  Just can't figure out how to connect other miners on other machines to it.  I'll have to look into this more later as i'm heading out the door now.

Thanks for your feedback, much appreciated!
