This means that the miner isn't able to connect to the server. That's a different problem. It could be a boost related problem, i.e. boost::asio::connect somehow fails. Did your IP change before that happens? I'm trying to fix it
UPDATE newly released version v0.1.2 should fix it.

« on: January 29, 2014, 02:27:35 am »There is a problem, only 13.1 driver can support more than 4 cards, means you can not update the driver supports more graphics, whether you can upgrade only OPCL it?I have no idea. If this is possible it is most likely complicated. why isn't AMD able to support more gpus with current drivers? do you know whether 4 gpus work with the linux drivers?

I updated the miner to version 0.1.1, which should fix with the "doing no work" bug in Windows.
@darkbane: the miner used a corrupted block with a wrong share target. therefore it is very likely that the miner will find zero shares in a reasonable time because it has a very difficult share target. it looked like as some buffers got corrupted. most likely windows missed some resources because i used many asynchronous events but v0.1.1 implements better code.

@Darkbane: This is really strange. the miner even recognizes a dead tcp connection ("watchdog timer triggered") and tries to reconnect but no block arrives from the server. after that a corrupted block is received. the sharetarged should be 03ffff....ffffbeafde4d. I guess this is related to Windows 8.1. Do you have access to Windows 7 (this works) or Windows 8?
EDIT other users with Win7 also report this problem. I take a look at it. The linux version works without problems for me.

- with my i7 and R280x its faboulous 2K cpm
- but on my I5 with ATI HD7950 dont work
it seems that your system has an intel opencl driver installed because it says there are two opencl platforms... perhaps that is the same problem other people encountered and you should try their workaround. that shouldn't be a bug of my miner if the workaround works.
UPDATE which catalyst version is installed on your system?
perhaps windows loads the intel opencl dynamic library instead of the AMD library. Maybe those libraries aren't compatible even for opencl 1.1 or 1.2.

[...]i haven't tried this yet. but i do not believe this will result in any gains. running 2 instances is a possibility to increase cpm for some users until the kernels are further opimized
so if 1 instance takes 1200MB, two takes 2400MB, are you able to run three for 3600MB on your 4GB cards? and still increase results?

the mess on the startup are the messages of the compiler. i can suppress those messages but it makes debugging harder.

4th, If there's no network connection while starting, it will crash.a miner without network connection makes no sense... but perhaps i can quit the miner more silently

Could just be the nature of PTS mining but Ubuntu build netted me 8 blocks to 1 in Windows version. Is the 35 seconds mining for you getting messed up and all blocks go to developer? Still getting this on start up in Windows.
No, that is because of bad pool luck while you were mining in windows. beeeeer.org is a small pool with only a few generated blocks per day (mostly less than 10), but is has low fees (2.5%). Your windows output seems normal.
@rots: did you encounter any problems or does the miner work well?

Thanks for the feedback. I think that I simply remove the queries for other platforms. This would solve the issue, but in the long-term I rather want to support all vendors. Not exiting the miner on CL_DEVICE_NOT_FOUND would lead to some funny stuff with AMD GPUs on linux....
nvidia support will follow as soon as I have any devices on which I can do tests.
