David, Your updated 'miner_asic' server logic is still not working correctly for us. I'm trying to get ASIC work from Bitcoin Utopia, using an ASIC-ONLY work fetch request, but still running into problems, on my machine that has 3 NVIDIA GPUs.
Rebirther requests that I relay the information to you, so it is clear, and so you can help us to find a solution. Before your change, the problem was: - When the client requests ASIC-ONLY work, it gets none. - When the client requests ASIC + CPU, it can get ASIC. After your change, the new problem appears to be: - When the client requests ASIC-ONLY work, it gets none. - When the client requests ASIC + NVIDIA, it can get ASIC. Please see the following thread, which shows the work fetch request logs that indicate the problem: http://www.bitcoinutopia.net/bitcoinutopia/forum_thread.php?id=518&postid=4891 I'm not sure if this is a server-software issue, or project misconfiguration. Are you able to isolate the problem? Also, if it is a server-software problem, do you know how long it will take you to fix it?
