At this point poclbm just seems to hang, ctrl-c and running it again and the problem is gone but I seem to get this a fair bit (more than once per day).

Running 12.10 on Win 7 64 on a 5870 (standard clocks, temp and fans seem reasonable)

Trying this on OS X 10.8 Developer Preview 2. Using the built-in python2.7. Andreas at pyopencl modified that code to install on 10.8 which it appears to do. I'm trying to then run 2/5/12 version of poclbm and am getting this error:

This is repeated over and over when a network connection is lost. Maybe poclbm should start (and notify about) an exponential backoff rather than just continuing to spam the logs every ~3s when connection is lost?

This happens because ssl.SSLSocket inherits from socket.socket, which is no longer a class due to the socket wrapper code at the top of poclbm.py.

This broke when the import of GetworkSource was moved out of module level in a5ab744.

hi.
found fork of your miner with backup mining pool

https://github.com/kylegibson/poclbm

I think this is good idea - please include this futures in next release

It makes easier to download specific version.

Synchronize it with windows packages.

While attempting to use poclbm with guiminer, using the version packaged with the latest release of guiminer:

C:\Users\colin\Desktop\guiminer>poclbm.exe user:[email protected]:8332 --device=0 --platform=0 --verbose -r1 -v -w 128 -f 30

  File "OpenCLMiner.pyo", line 100, in initialize
  File "OpenCLMiner.pyo", line 129, in __init__
TypeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute '__getitem__'

I think this is the offending line:

https://github.com/m0mchil/poclbm/blob/master/OpenCLMiner.py#L129

My shot in the dark would be that OpenCLMiner.get_adapter_info() is returning None when it hits a bad condition at L361 and L129 isn't checking for that possible condition or recovering from the thrown exception.

I'm running a Radeon HD 6850 on Windows 7 x64 with an AMD Athlon X2 6000+. I've also reported this in Kiv#54. I've executed poclbm both within guiminer and at the command line.

please let me know if there's a way i can fix this. i tried looking at the source and it looks like it's the last line copied below that's having a problem. i am not super familiar with json module, but i looked it up and it looks like it should return a dictionary, not a string. maybe the fact that 2 string indices are specified is the issue? maybe result['error'] is already a string and so then trying to do ['message'] after that is a problem?

thanks for your help

https://github.com/m0mchil/poclbm/blob/master/BitcoinMiner.py#L180
result = loads(response.read())
if result['error']:
self.say(result['error']['message'])

The code looks clean and readable (mainly because it's python).

But it will be desirable to include more comments on the source code and a few documentation about each function.

It's easy to comment the code meanwhile you write it and help other people to understand it easily.

Hello. I am a programmer in python. I'm no way the top best, but I like to see if I can help out :) I am having a little issue getting the code to run to find where the slow down really is (besides in the BitcoinMiner.py file) , so I was hoping you can point me to the slow so I can get to work on trying to help.

This code is a lot cleaner than the other site I was on xD I thought it was the same code project lol. In the end I might not be able to help, but I will sure take a shoot at it at least.

I've remapped my appdata folder location, and when I try to start guiminner.exe I'm getting the error:

No such file or directory: 'C:\Users{me}\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin\bitcoin.conf'

which is no longer where my AppData (and thus bitcoin.conf file) is located.

Can you use the %APPDATA% env variable instead?

Also, I often run a portable version of bitcoin-qt.exe where I specify yet another location for my bitcoin.conf file.

Would it be (or is it already?) possible to set the bitcoin.conf file location in an .ini file?

For example Deepbit worker username can be [email protected]_x where x is a integer - which is default format when creating new worker.

For some workers it is impossible to login using new version of poclbm.py.
Especially it can be problematic for huge GPU farm owners.

After I pulled the most recent version today I get the following error msg when it seems to be attempting to submit a found hash. I mine on triplemining.com and thought it was an error with that pool but I switched back to slush and have the same problem there. Any ideas?

why not def connect(self, proto, host, timeout)? the host is not used in the function.

poclbm tries to create some sorf of .elf tempfiles in its directory.but this leads to security problems under win7(i have read unter winxp and linux too), which do not allow such behaviour. resulting in the following error:

IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '75f47f8cf8b80b32b9f6eea7786559d4.elf'

to my knowledge such files should be created in the %temp% folder. so this should be fixed quite easily just change the path where the .elf-files are created and recompile the program. i would do it myself but being completely new to github and python makes that quite hard.

poclbm doesn't work with the new AMD drivers. I upgraded to 13.4 and now everytime I try to mine with poclbm I get "Verification failed, check hardware!".

In fact, looks like it stopped working with all the other miners as well.

Sadly I have no idea why this happens, just that it does. There appears to be recovery when this error occurs when running poclbm in DOS console, it's just noise (and an unhandled exception which I guess could have follow-on effects?)

I want to know that how to use it to mine btc for me
can you tell me?
thank tou

/home/root/poclbm/OpenCLMiner.py:252: DeprecationWarning: 'enqueue_read_buffer' has been deprecated in version 2011.1. Please use enqueue_copy() instead.
cl.enqueue_read_buffer(queue, output_buffer, output)

Hello, I'm trying to use poclbm (most recent one from master) for GPU mining on Mac OS X 10.6.8 with HD 5750. I've everything setup correctly, pyopencl is installed using pip and CPU mining works. However when I choose GPU as a mining device I get a segfault. The segfault is caused by a build issue with the kernel file for SHA computation.

I traced the problem to the following line in BitcoinMiner.py:
self.miner = cl.Program(self.context, kernel).build(self.defines)

I also checked with the most recent development version of PyOpenCL from their Git repository and the issue persists. Is there something I can do? I thought about trying to swap the phatk kernel for something different but I haven't explored further yet.

Thanks

Any ideas?

adding a custom miner (in my case all three types CUDA, CG and Ufasoft) causes nothing, but a message in the form of

OSError: [Errno 2] Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden: '/mnt/DATA/sources/poclbm/miners/puddinpop'

("Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden" means "No such file or directory" - LANG is ignored) to be logged. This could already be more verbose, because these are the default value and there has to be a reason why they are set. And there's no feedback in the GUI at all. The fact that the python frontend is apparently trying to execute/executing .exe file isn't very intuitive neither and needs explanation in the application feedback (logs and GUI).

experienced with 5c6b314

Starting at line 334 of BitcoinMiner.py:

There is a bug that happens if self.updateTime == '' && 0xFFFFFFFFFFF < noncesLeft < 0xFFFFFFFFFFFF && output[OUTPUT_SIZE]:

if self.updateTime == '':
...
    elif 0xFFFFFFFFFFF < noncesLeft < 0xFFFFFFFFFFFF:
    ...
        work = None

BUT

(some rows below)

if output[OUTPUT_SIZE]:
    result['work'] = work

So 'work' is still used.

There are many solutions, and I'm not a python programmer (you can copy work in a temp variable, check for self.updateTime == '' AFTER checking output[OUTPUT_SIZE] for the solution...

with the latest update for poclbm at github.com/downloads/m0mchil/poclbm/poclbm_py2exe_20120920.7z, I get the following error message when running poclbm.exe.

Code:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "poclbm.py", line 3, in
File "zipextimporter.pyo", line 82, in load_module
File "BitcoinMiner.pyo", line 16, in

WindowsError: [Error 126] The specified module could not be found

Working fine with previous version.
Any suggestion?

Every time poclbm goes to check for strata, bitcoin-qt freezes for about twenty seconds, using 100% of one CPU core, before returning to work. By that point, poclbm's five-second timeout has elapsed and it gives up waiting. It doesn't seem to try again afterwards, so it's left in an infinite loop of poclbm waiting for work that never comes.

Would it be possible to either extend that timeout by default, or better yet, add the option to customise it on the commandline, please?

I've annotated a commandline output to hopefully explain what I mean better:

As the title says, when I try running poclbm it fails early in the startup with this error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):

This is in Lubuntu 13.04. I noticed that this distro uses Python 3 whereas most use 2, could that be the issue?

Warning: overflow encountered in ulong_scalars
I got this warning a few times in the logs is this bad or simply a warning from pyopencl internals?

files were cloned from this git server.

here is the command line:
./poclbm.py --no-bfl -d 0 http://xxx:[email protected]:8332

the last line of screen is:
api.bitcoin.cz:8332 05/06/2013 11:26:16, diverted to stratum on stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333

no more output. how can i find out my hash rate, please?

Hello,
Right now btcguild is down to some extent. They are still accepting connections but rejecting all logins. Instead of falling back to the next server on the line poclbm exits out. I expected that it would failover gracefully to the next server in the list.

I signed up to slush's pool yesterday. I downloaded the GUI Miner. I have a working computer with a fast Internet connection, but when I click "Start Mining!", nothing happens. In the lower right, it still says "Stopped".

Hello,

I've modified the source to add some stats about the found hashes, the total counts, average etc... They are displayed on the line with the last event message. When you exit it shows you all the found hashes and the uptime. I hope it will help people and improve your experience :) Tested and patched for b981138.

I'm using poclbm with flag "-s 0.01" to avoid high temperatures on my gpu. I usually mine about 150MHash/s but when poclbm get "long poll: new block", speed goes down to 500kHash/s and I need to restart poclbm to get normal speed again.

Is there any plans to support scrypt/LTE ?

This is my problem when I turn on poclbm.ph . pls help me. thanks

Invoking python ./guiminer.py and closing the main application window causes the GUI window to disappear, but the application to hang for > 30 minutes (after that I sent SIGTERM). This is independent of whether mining has been started or not. It might be related to the fact that no graphic card is detected in my case. The output of python ./guiminer.py is

In the code, the failure method is not defined so this exception occurs. This is not a critical fix but the user will never see the error message that is intended.

Pasting the username (e.g. from a browser) into the Username field takes > 5 seconds which feels odd. I'm not experiencing similar trouble in other applications while I experience it with poclbm.

I tried to run poclbm but that doesnt work. I got the following error:

File "/var/lib/poclbm/BitcoinMiner.py", line 359, in loadKernel
    kernelFile = open('BitcoinMiner.cl', 'r')
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'BitcoinMiner.cl'

This is because you assume at this point that the CWD is the directory where BitcoinMiner.cl is. Thats wrong.
In my case I put a startup script for poclbm in my home directory and launch poclbm which is in /var/lib/poclbm/ (installed with the package manager).

So it crashs.
I guess you want to use instead:

import os
...
open(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'BitcoinMiner.cl'), 'r')
