entering the command line argument for the OSX error 54 about diablominer HOT 20 CLOSED

I don't think 960 is the correct number for you. All nvidia is either 256 or 512. When you get the "worksize is too large" error, you do -w 64. You enter this on the command line with the rest of your arguments.

Thats the bit I don't understand. I'm not a coder nor have I ever used a terminal based program, so I don't actually know what or where my other "arguments" are. Its that final bit that I'm struggling with. Also, you say that all nvidia cards have a work size of 256 or 512, but my 650Ti was running successfully at 1024 as suggested by the drivers, I just started it up and it ran.
Thanks anyway! Jake

I don't understand your question then, DiabloMiner is a command line program and it needs arguments to run at all. Arguments are the stuff thats after the command itself. DiabloMiner has a README that explains this all.

from diablominer.

The version I downloaded came from the 50BTC website. When downloaded I was greeted with a program icon of a bitcoin with a little ball baring like thing at the bottom, when I opened it, I was launched into terminal where I was prompted to input the pool address, then the pool code, then my user ID, then my password, pressing enter after each of them to bring up the next field. After pressing enter on the last field, it just started running, it was closer to a terminal based GUI than any form of coding type input. Is this what I should be seeing?

from diablominer.

Ahh. I don't support that version, they added some weird menu thing on top.

from diablominer.

that'll be it then! personally I liked it, but not having used yours I can't compare> have you got a like to your version for OSX?

Thanks. Jake

from diablominer.

Its Java, it runs on any OS that has Java installed. Check the README for download URL.

from diablominer.

Perfect, thank you. I'll shall come back with my results!

Apparently I don't have a program that can read .md files...
Have you got any solutions for this?
thanks, Jake

from diablominer.

Any text editor can open .md files, it will just be in Markdown syntax.

thanks. Right, i've added all the required arguments to the shell and saved it, so hopefully last stupid question, how do I run the damn thing?!?

from diablominer.

OK, i'm getting errors. I am adding this
"./DiabloMiner-OSX.sh -u [email protected] -p ********* -o pool.50btc.com -r 8332"
to the OSX shell (both with and without "./DiabloMiner-OSX.sh" and having the arguments on different lines) and I get this error.

All this is completely beyond me :(

from diablominer.

Wow, you really don't know how to use the command line.

cd into the Diablominer dir, and do ./DiabloMiner-OSX.sh your-args

from diablominer.

No, I haven't got an effing clue! And should it be like this

"cd $(./DiabloMiner-OSX.sh -u [email protected] -p ********** -o localhost r- 8332 w- 64 ${0})"? and if I'm mining in the 50btc pool soundn't the host be pool.50btc.com, not localhost?

Thanks, Jake

from diablominer.

No, it should be exactly as how I written. And yes, your -u -p -o and -r all need to be set correctly for your pool. And you're not cd-ing into the DiabloMiner dir, write "cd thedirectory" and then press enter then type the DiabloMiner command.

from diablominer.

I feel like a 4 year old again, although that was only 11 years ago.
If i understand you correctly (which I probably don't), this
"#!/bin/sh
export GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1
cd $(dirname ${0})
exec java -Xmx32m -cp target/libs/:target/DiabloMiner.jar -Djava.awt.headless=true -Djava.library.path=target/libs/natives com.diablominer.DiabloMiner.DiabloMiner $@
cd thedirectory
./DiabloMiner-OSX.sh -u [email protected] -p ********* o-pool.50btc.com -r 8332 w- 64"
should work, but it doesn't. I feel like I'm really pissing you off right now, but this is literally the first time I've done any command line.

from diablominer.

I don't know why you're typing the contents of a .sh file out. I didn't tell you to do this.

You should be typing in exactly two commands, "cd the-directory-for-DiabloMiner" and "./DiabloMiner-OSX.sh your-arguments" and thats it. If it says DiabloMiner-OSX.sh isn't a command, you haven't cd'ed into the right directory.

from diablominer.

Right, I did some goggling, and if that cd isn't right, then what directory should I be cding, because I can't work out why this is right.
"#!/bin/sh
export GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1
cd $(dirname ${0})
exec java -Xmx32m -cp target/libs/:target/DiabloMiner.jar -Djava.awt.headless=true -Djava.library.path=target/libs/natives com.diablominer.DiabloMiner.DiabloMiner $@
cd dir DiabloMiner
./DiabloMiner-OSX.sh -u [email protected] -p ********* -o pool.50btc.com -r 8332 -w 64"

Also, every time, the error isn't even talking about cding the wrong directory, its talking about this line here.
"com.diablominer.DiabloMiner.DiabloMiner"
I really appreciate all the help you've given, but I'm not going to get it, and therefor keep on bugging you, until you explain it in a way that a 15 year old brit who's never done ANY command line can understand, because thats who I am.
Thanks, Jake

from diablominer.

Ok, just to let you guys know, I got it working. Turns out, I've got 0 knlowege on what I was supposed to be doing. Instead of just runing the shell by cding into it via terminal, I was copying the context of shell file into terminal with the cd and arguments. So yea, noob level infinity. My new problem is that I'm getting incredibly low hashrates on my gtx 570 (between 8 and 18 mh/s)

from diablominer.

Nvidia cards are exceptionally slow at mining, to the point its not even really worth using, although 18 mhash/sec sounds rather low.
