Re: Windows 8 Mining (guiminer) error

I have not.  I believe this is an issue dealing with my SDK version?  What version is recommended?  I am using the latest 2.8.  I'm thinking that a roll back or a 32 bit version would make it work again?

I'm using the latest version of GUIminer.  I just switched over to Windows 8.  This error pops up now when I try to mine:

ValueError: Too many values to unpack.

Also, how do I do a full bug report?  Thanks.

It is the latest.. how would I go about doing the bug report?  I will post it in the software miners discussion forum.  Thanks for the help.

Re: Open air cases? Which one?

Build is for a friend so I'll talk with him before pulling the trigger.  It's other a $50 case flipped sideways and resting cards on top of one another - or a proper open air like that one for a little more.

Open air cases? Which one?
by
topslop1
on 23/05/2012, 16:20:25 UTC
I'm looking for an open air case.  I'm putting together a new rig with 2 5970's and then 2 5830's.  I figure I will sandwich all of the cards together alternating a 5970 with a 5830. 

I was looking at this http://www.highspeedpc.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=TopTechSTD

But is there a better open air case that you guys would/could recommend?  Would the one that I posted support 4 cards without a problem? Does the one that I posted come with controls such as on/off/reset?  Or do I need to buy a separate adapter for that as well?

Thanks

Okay, so I have miners mining and bitcoins being sent to an address that I had on my computer.  I re-installed Windows and now am trying to figure out how I have 'ownership' of the wallet or how I can access the wallet online now?  I am having trouble figuring out how to open it up within the bitcoin client again.

It repeats this behavior every 10-15 seconds or so.

"connection problems" slowing down mining?
by

I have a bitcoin rig hooked up to a weakly received wireless connection.  The clients will say "connection problem" and it will sit there for a 1-3 seconds before it hooks up again and keeps mining.  Is this a problem?  Is it going to slow down my mining?  If it does or will negatively affect then I will hook it up to a wired line.

Piles of boxes in background =p


Also, is it sitting on top of a fake Christmas tree?

Just set it up on a folding card table with an extension cord, the little fan and a CRT monitor.  Been good so far for about 2 days mining.

Started off with a 100 hash card. now with 4x5830's.  For all of the great designs and setups that I have seen here, I am going to give you something quite opposite. This is in my basement with 2 5830's plugged in traditionally and then ribbon cables with another 2 5830's just laying ontop of the other cards with a small fan overtop.

What do you recommend for going caseless?  And isn't it a bit difficult to not sandwhich them on the mobo?  I was looking at this motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128514  Is that fine to use or would you recommend something different?  Thank you for your input, I'm def interested in what advice you have.

I want to give you some advice that I learned the hard way if your going to get 4 5830's don't leave them in a case or sandwiched on the mobo if you plan to overclock at all. I have to go to extreme lengths to keep my cards cool and I regret not going caseless.

Having trouble connecting to Mt.Red

I'm using Gui miner and I'm having trouble connecting to mt. red pool.  Gui miner says that there is a connection issue and it just sits.  Has Mt. Red updated or changed an address other than what was initially set for gui miner?  I'm doing it wrong?
