Title: Anyone know why jgarzik's CPU miner won't work for me on Fedora 15?
Post by: natman3400 on June 19, 2011, 02:57:03 AM
So I use linux, and I was hopeing that I could boost my proformance another 22 mh/s (what I get on windows with cpu) by also using my cpu.
So I went and got jgarzik's CPU miner, and compiled it and everything, but now when I try to run it, no matter what I put in as an option, all it does is spit out the help page. Since I am a newbie, I though I would post here to try and help get the matter resolved.

-Thanks in advance, natman3400.

It does that when you goof up one of the arguments.  Usually I got that when I put the wrong algorithm in.

il try running it through another time, thanks for the insight
I thought it would spit out a "invalid argument" or something

putting in this:
Code:
./minerd -a c -q off -d off  -t 4 --url http://api.bitcoin.cz:8332 --username natman3400.[main-cpu] --pass maincpu
still give help page.
Can someone fix it for me, or do i have a worse problem?

You goofed, --username should be --user.  I didn't test the other arguments though, but with just the url user and pass it connected fine.
