Ahhh. Great info. Thanks for the info!

Sorry for the n00b question, but what significance does the "keypoololdest" value hold? What should I see/not see here?

Thanks!

Thanks, Diablo3!
That got it working. But any idea why I'm only getting about 5000khps? Seems like something's wrong...

Hi experts.
I'm getting this error:
ERROR: OpenCL platform ATI Stream contains no devices

lcpic shows:
05:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Device 6739

I followed this tutorial:
http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3356.msg47489#msg47489

Any ideas what I'm missing?

Many thanks!

Hmmm. Darn strange then! I'll have to keep looking...

THanks!

Thanks, Patches!

It does complain about the password if I purposely put it in wrong so I guess it's working. It would be nice to know what the total hps is though.

...now if I could only win one!

Tycho-
You're correct if you plan on using a ssc, but that's a low risk at my house opposed to checking my stats at Starbucks.


Thanks again.

If you do get it running let us know how and if it performs better than Diablo.

Thanks!

I setup BC on my MacMini with the bitcoin.conf as follows:

I setup Diablo on a couple of clients to point to it and it appears to be working but how do I know? When I run bitcoin getinfo the hashespersc value doesn't change to reflect the miners work.
Am I missing something?

Thanks!!

Patches-
OK, now I'm getting about 7000k like you and figured out why it was low before. If I run the BC CPU app then start Diablo I only get about 2000k. Even if I kill BC Diablo never climbs. I have to reboot and start Diablo and never start the BC client and then it gets 7000k.
Did you find the same thing?
Odd thing is that this isn't a problem on the MB with the 320.

Strange.

Thanks for the info!

Mac noob here, too. I've been using Diablo with some success. Get it here:

Works with deepbit.net. But it dies all of the time. I'm not sure if it's the app or the pool because all of my Mac's Diablo instances die at the same time. Bitcoin-miner.exe on my thinkpad doesn't die.

Still tweaking...

Goodluck.

I was wondering if you were planning on adding SSL to the website, at least for the login, but hopefully for it all.
That would be great since I know you have nothing better to do.

Thanks for setting all of this up!

I have this running on three Macs and it's working well. One thing is strange, though. The GeForce 330M is way slower than the GeForce 320M.
The MBP with 330M gets about 2000 khps.
The MB with 320M gets about 5500 khps.
The MacMini with a 9400 gets about 2100 khps.

Am I missing something? I would think the 330M would be faster than the rest of them. Is there a switch I should be throwing?

Thanks for the miner!

Hahha. Just noticed that myself!

Tycho-
Either should work. See usage:

Tycho-
I just noticed on your index page you list the syntax for a couple of miners. Should the Diablo syntax be -r 8332? You have -p 8332.

Thanks

Thanks guys!
The Diablo miner works pretty well. Strange that my MBP's 330M gets about 1800khps and my MB's 320M gets 5200khps. Any idea what the cheaper one is doing so much better?

Does the rpcminer author provice binaries?

Can the bitcoin.org client act as a miner? I see that the conf file can have username/password added to it.

Thanks again for the help!!

Hey experts, I'm having a heck of a time getting started and need a little help.
I installed the client from bitcoin.org and it's working as expected but from my reading I've decided to join a pool. I have 3 new Macs and an Ubuntu server that I would like to use. Deepbit looks like the only pool option right now so I'm going to focus on it.

1. Does a MacBook Pro have a GPU that can be used for this? It has a NVIDA Gforce GT330M.

2. Is there a step by step guide for setting this up on my Mac, even for just CPU? If not I'd be happy to help create and host it.

3. I'm having a hard time figuring out what client I need to use and where to get it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
