Title: [XPM] BFGMiner Prime Branch
Post by: gateway on July 13, 2013, 12:47:55 AM

So some of us on #eligius-prime with the help of Luke were able to get what we think is bfgminer prime working, how ever the people testing it so far none of us have found a block so a word of caution.

I thought in the spirit of sharing I would let you guys know how I was able to get up and runnning, NOTE you do need to know how to compile BFGMiner, I cannot help you with any compile issues ..

Requirements:
primecoind running

Then

Get the latest code from git..

git clone -b prime https://github.com/luke-jr/bfgminer.git

make this change >> http://pastebin.com/XSTTRNF9 << src/libblkmaker/base58.c around line 120

This allows you to use your primecoin wallet address instead of having to convert that to a btc wallet address.

Once compiled and primecoind is set up and running.. use this command line in bfgminer..

./bfgminer -a prime -S noauto -S cpu:auto -o localhost:9912 -u primecoinrpc -p {rpcpassword} --coinbase-addr {primecoin wallet addr} --debuglog 2>prime.log

you dont need the debug at the end but gives you an idea of data coming though..

THIS is WIP, I would ask anyone to help optmized, fix, or make adjustments..

cheers..

here is my miner running.. no block found yet tho.. we did test it on testnet and it did fine blocks fyi..

we got currently 2 main problems:
worksize is too small, atm my i7-2700K requests 23k work/s, setting a queue of 512 helps a little but thats it...
GBT bugged (dunno if primecoind or bfgminer), it dosnt know when a new block is found on the network, so it will calculate for exactly 120 seconds and then the 120 seconds --expiry kick in and bfgminer knows about the new blocks therefore missing 15-25 blocks. setting --expiry to 1-5 works tough.

current stage:

You have to enable CPU mining in the configure step.

I'm experiencing the same problems. There are constant staged work underruns, and new network blocks don't show up in bfgminer until they expire.

Post by: K1773R on July 13, 2013, 03:32:38 AM

more info for sunny, invalidates the GBT things somewhat:

Code:

<Luke-Jr> K1773R: Gateway69: GBT needs *zero* modification on primecoind
<Luke-Jr> although he *could* send a coinbase with it, then --coinbase-addr wouldn't be required
<Luke-Jr> (but that's not as simple as it seems)
<Luke-Jr> if --scan-time and --expiry don't work for solo mining, I'd appreciate if someone could fix it
<Luke-Jr> since that would affect Bitcoin too, I'd need to get it into main bfgminer asap
<K1773R> Luke-Jr: ACK

Perhaps something has changed, but I just cloned the repo and can't find "src/libblkmaker/base58.c"

There is a libblkmaker folder, but it contains nothing

Post by: torbank on July 13, 2013, 05:14:24 AM

Anyone know why bfgminer is almost always working on blocks that are older than the local primecoind block?

Title: Re: [XPM] BFGMiner Prime Branch
Post by: torbank on July 13, 2013, 05:18:54 AM

By my estimates, both of my miners are working on the current block only about 10% of the time.

Why the delay before bfgminer catches up to primecoind?

Title: Re: [XPM] BFGMiner Prime Branch
Post by: paulthetafy on July 13, 2013, 05:32:47 AM

Can --coinbase-addr be any address you own (like in a main wallet) or does it have to be from the local primecoind accounts?

Title: Re: [XPM] BFGMiner Prime Branch
Post by: paulthetafy on July 13, 2013, 06:53:21 AM

Any update on the staged work underrun issue? I get it continually, even with a queue of 512-1024 (haven't tested higher). No found blocks yet on live network

Post by: 96redformula on July 13, 2013, 09:14:10 AM

So, I got BFG miner built successfully.

I am on windows 8 BTW. Any help as to get bfg miner up and running.

I tried to setup primecoin.conf file with

Quote

rpcuser=username
rpcpassword=password
rpcallowip=*
daemon=1
server=1

Running Primecoin using

Quote

primecoin-qt -server

Then I tried running bfgminer with the switches in cmd prompt, but it will not run with the switches.

Quote

bfgminer -o http://localhost:8332 -u username -p password --expiry 1 --scantime 3

Running bfgminer by itself it will ask for pool address (http://localhost:8332), username and password, but it will not start up, Pool setup failed.

Any help or ideas?

Title: Re: [XPM] BFGMiner Prime Branch
Post by: swordfish6975 on July 13, 2013, 09:41:28 AM

did you build with ./confgure --enable-cpumining ?

the command to run it on windows would be this but it just crashes for me on win 8 here

bfgminer.exe -a prime -S noauto -S cpu:auto -o localhost:9912 -u username -p password --coinbase-addr {primecoin wallet addr} --debuglog 2>prime.log

Yes, I built it with ./configure --enable-cpumining.
Made some progress with your command line though, I was trying port 8332.

Now I am getting invalid coinbase address though, it doesn't seem to like mine :(. The wallet address is the receiving address, right?

This allows you to use your primecoin wallet address instead of having to convert that to a btc wallet address.

need to run autogen.sh before that file will show up

It can be any address. You don't have to own it either. Feel free to use AWoLFSojTZoPwqbCwwNqryQdmedD14NGYy

I am pretty sure you have to use an address that is in the daemon wallet your are solo mining to.. Atleast on current available code.

Else it will not show up in transaction logs.

Maybe it updates less often. I see it halted at some point, then it updates and it's in sync again. Just now it actually jumped one block "in front" of the daemon so it seems as if primecoind lagged 1 block.

Is anyone else finding that the block number in bfgminer is consistently lagging behind the current primecoind block?

this is covered in this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=254462.20 along with a few other issues

I went over that again just to be sure and I don't see any solution there.

If you meant adding "--scan-time", that didn't change anything.

--expiry 1 is it ;)
if you dont do that, you will only notice blocks every 120 seconds as --expiry is default to 120.

run ./autogen.sh in the bfgminer source dir

then you will find the base58.c in the libblkmaker dir

Yes, on mainnet. But it was on a heavily modified bfgminer talking to a modified primecoind. The variance on solo mining is so large that I'm still not able to make an accurate determination on whether bfgminer is faster than running native primecoind - the speed at which I can mine on testnet certainly indicates that it is, but on mainnet it seems really slow (but maybe it is just the huge difficulty now)

^ Yes, I have been the past few days and I've made a total of 1.904398 with 5 machines running. I'm about to give up on it and play my chances solo mining.

For reference, with about 60 quad-core Xeons running primecoind (solo mining) I've found over 100 XPM in the last week.

Not quite sure what this fork gets you over just using primecoind itself to mine?

It seems that it works okay... But hp8 gives much more pps. So bfgminer should be optimized too. :-\

Are you about bfgminer or about primecoin-hp? The first one seems to be not under development anymore - that's right.
