Title: (Ubuntu) Tunneling DiabloMiner
Post by: insanityflea on January 25, 2012, 10:49:07 AM
Hi All,

I've been battling for a few days now, I need to tunnel the miner as I cannot use port 8332.

The closest I've got:

Ssh Tunnel:
Code:
ssh -f user@proxy -D 8332 -p 80 proxy.com  (connects fine)

Start DiabloMiner
Code:
DiabloMiner-Linux.sh -u user@miningpool -p password -o pit.deepbit.net -r 8332 -x 127.0.0.1:8332

But I get:

Code:
 ERROR: Cannot connect to pit.deepbit.net: Unexpected end of file from server

If anyone could help me out here I'd really appreciate it
Thank you in advance.

PPS I also tried proxychains (proxychains.conf : socks5 127.0.0.1 8332)
Code:
proxychains DiabloMiner-Linux.sh -u user@miningpool -p password -o pit.deepbit.net -r 8332

Also no luck :(

Success! Got it up and running with tsocks & CGminer

Code:
tsocks  ./cgminer -o http://pit.deepbit.net:8332 -u user@email_worker -p password

I think diablo wont run due to it calling the java to run and the java wont run 'sockified'

I'm happy although using cgminer I lose around 20mhs no biggie.

Mess around with the vector width (1, 2, or 4) and worksize (64,128, or 256).
Make sure intensity is set to 9 and thread count per GPU at 2.

All miners use basically the same kernels for GPU calculations, you should not lose 20 MHash/s out of the blue.

Nice job tunneling cgminer out of the hostile zone.

Managed to get it faster than it's ever run before :)

Used the vectors and worksize and threads and got the gpu engine to 860Mhz (this is my laptop miner with an ATI Firepro M7820)
200mhs is not bad for a laptop!

Linux really is the best OS to mine on.

Thanks for the tips!

As is there was ever any doubt about that :)
Hey, and it's free - as in free speech.

If only GPU manufacturers bothered to compile their utilities for Linux it would be a no-contest.
200MHash/s? Not too shabby. Just do be careful about the thermals on that lappy. Laptops were never designed with this kind of use on the radar and may overheat easily.
I suspect you're doing this as a stopgap until you build an actual rig?
Best of luck.

runs @ 65 Degrees Celsius, I've got three rigs. I let the laptop run overnight when i'm not using it :) extra 200mhs overnight never hurt anyone!

I agree with you, the manufacturers need to look at other os's as well.
