Board CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware
Re: GUI mining - Phoenix 1.5 and new, faster poclbm
by

Ironically the GUI of guiminer.exe (2011-07-01) disappeared from my Windows 7 x64 machine.
After investigating, I found out that poclbm.ini's settings for "window_position" were changed to -32000 for both horizontal and vertical positions. I reset them to 0 and I could see the GUI again when launching guiminer.exe. Hope this helps other people. You may want to check why it resets to -32000 instead of 0. It happened a second time to me just now, while I was opening and closing guiminer.exe to test it. Here's the ini content:

    "window_position": [
         -32000,
        -32000,

        160,
        27
    ]

Also, I noticed that the poclbm.exe process is now taking up 50% of the CPU usage, with the first of the 2 dual core CPUs at 100%, when it used to be 0% with the 2011-06-09 version of guiminer.exe. I saw that "CPU Affinity" had the #0 CPU checked, so I unchecked it, but all it did was switch the 100% usage from CPU #0 to #1 in Windows Task Manager.
There is just one miner in guiminer.exe, the default one using the NVidia card. Both CPU Affinity checkboxes are unselected, there is nothing in the Extra flags box. So it looks like mining happens both on the GPU and the CPU, with a slightly lower MH/s rate compared to when it mined on the GPU only.

Strangely, both bugs appeared at the time BitDefender reported a Trojan in guiminer\miners\ufasoft\bitcoin-miner.exe and deleted the file. I also inadvertently launched a second guiminer.exe process at about the same time (because the first one was not visible in the Notification area by default) which apparently resulted in 2 guiminer processes running each half the MH/s rate than the previous unique process used to run, and I haven't been able to run guiminer normally every since, even after reinstalling with BitDefender disabled.

There is no trace of guiminer or poclbm in my Registry, I cleaned up the Notification Area Icons, deleted and redownloaded guiminer, so I don't know what's happening and how to get back to 0% CPU usage.

Thanks for you hints, it really help me a lot~

其实ATI5850不错性价比合适。现在不是在清58XX系列的库存,有款5850的才1100多。不要想产出比,现在国内才开始。也就当玩玩游戏。我还是ATI4860,没事挂起哇速度也就50Mhash/S。 Grin

我是3月份买的XFX 5850,当时1230元入手,速度260Mhash/s,性价比很高~

Re: How does the transaction price come out in Mt.Gox

Final price will include the 0.65% fee collected by MtGox.

This will be more obvious in the new version we are working on.


Oh, I see. Thx~

How does the transaction price come out in Mt.Gox
by

I'm a little bit wondering that each price of my transactions on Mt.Gox didn't fit the price I previously bade or asked. For example, when I bade at the price of 8.15, the final transaction price would be around 8.20.

I don't know how the final price come out, could anyone help me with an answer? Smiley

I don't think the price is tied to the difficulty.

There should be enough capacity of market if you are expecting a higher price. Once more USDs are introduced to this exchange market, the price would go higher.

I wonder if the Mt. Gox index's going down recently has also something to do with the earthquake.

I think x reason cause y change in MtGox's price.

Is there okay now? The earthquake caused a lot of concerning world-wide, in China there has been a large demand for salt these days, for many people concern about the polluted seawater Sad

I wonder if the Mt. Gox index's going down recently has also something to do with the earthquake.

Re: Comparing three 5870 cards
by

The XFX 5870 doesnt have voltage control due to XFX being cheap and removing components form the VRM.

EDIT: If you are planning to buy hardware now for mining you most likely didnt understand how bitcoins work.

So now what's the correct plan in line with how bitcoins work? I'm new here and don't know it either. Huh

The return on mining is going down 40% in a few days, and will continue to go down.  If you are buying that card solely for mining it will take longer to pay off.  It will still probably pay off but it could take a while. 

Ok~

I think maybe ATI cards are much better at 32bits integer computing, which is necessary for cryptography~

Actually my GTX260+ has only 50Mh/s, I'm going to change it for a 5850.

I flushed the DNS cache but it seems no different, is there a way for me to log in the website by using IP address? Or rather, what's the IP address of the new server?

I know where's the problem, my explorer(Sougou Explorer) has a option for accelerate network speed, which might be using some proxy servers for acceleration.

Once I turned it off, It's all okay again Cheesy

Yeah, so I can't figure out where's the problem, actually yesterday when I logged in it was all OK~

If there is no one with the same problem, let me check my configuration again.

Thanks, Tycho~
