I hooked up a power meter to my PC while it was mining. Horrible spikes +/- 250Watts
The time in between work is completely devastating and causes power spikes. I can smell my PCIE power cable burning with the spikes in Ampage. (Now replaced, but I had a one PCIe to PCIe 6 pin and 8 pin.)
Please run an idle process that consumes electricity on the GPU to prevent the surges.

This is what those whining chokes are there for, actually. I cannot imagine such an idle process: cores are idle while memory controllers do their job pulling or writing the data to VRAM. Probably you could run cgminer along with MMC miner like itsik78 does here: https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=1784.msg25795#msg25795

More likely it is PSU power feed that degrades over time under certain load patterns (cgminer load is much more evenly distributed over time). Could also be a driver issue of course, especially in Windows.

These computers are good power supply. Besides the first two weeks of everything worked well. I have not changed anything.

Well, what I can say for sure is that miner code does not try to deliberately destroy your hardware The updated miner may differ in load pattern it puts on your card because it accesses memory differently than previous version. Or it may not - that depends on how your card's manufacturer has arranged power lines and DRAM controllers.

I was speaking of the actual built-in miner and removing menu items for starting it (if they are still there of course).

Removing addresses from the wallet (file) is not feasible, but auto-swiping all inputs to a certain address is (obviously). But then there are transaction fees that may be hard to explain to user, and blockchain growth issue.

Short answer - no, not yet.

On the upside, we are not going to 51% the network or try other funny things. You may remember how btcguild was handling over half of bitcoin network and nothing special happened - for the same reason.

What if I hold a gun to your head?

It is very clear how exactly centralisation is bad, but it is (obviously) against our selfish interest to opensource the thing on the moment. It is also against the same selfish interest to harm the coin.

So, whom should I vote for to get blockexplorer-with-balances faster, you or FaSan?

Hi,
NVIDIA news?

Should work, if you have a proper Nvidia OpenCL installation in your system.

update driver but

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "mmc-miner.py", line 5, in <module>
  File "zipextimporter.pyo", line 82, in load_module
  File "pyopencl\__init__.pyo", line 28, in <module>
  File "zipextimporter.pyo", line 98, in load_module
ImportError: MemoryLoadLibrary failed loading pyopencl\_cl.pyd

In Windows, you should have 32-bit OpenCL.dll in your system32 folder. Please check if it is the case.

in C:\Windows\System32 there is OpenCL.dll . How i check if is 32 bit?

Well, it is 32-bit since it made it to that folder. Still, the miner cannot load it for some reason. Could you perhaps try opening it with dependency wakler to see what it might be missing?

what's mean WPM and HPM？thanx
I get 20hpm and 21 wpm at 1130/1500 on HIS 280X,I see somebody get 22hpm.why?

It is 'works per minute' and 'hashes (solutions) per minute'. Over time they converge to the same value.
