ccminer --help will show you the expected name.

Most pools use AMD for their normalization, multipoollhub is the only one I know of that has Nvidia factors as well.
Unfortunately they don't have the API yamp clones or nicehash have.

I've calculated my own normalization using x11 as my baseline. I have two factors for lyra2v2 because the performance
of that algo is so much better on 750ti vs 9xx.

Yup -u bitcoinaddress.worker -p x

Well that explains why only 4 threads.

What algo? Some take a while for the first share. I tested all supported configurations before
release and it submitted shares for all of them.

The drop in hash rate is a bit concerning though. No other major cpu activity?

./cpuminer -a x11 -o stratum+tcp://x11.usa.nicehash.com:3336 ...

Is it hyperthreaded and can you confirm its enabled in the bios the host OS and theguest OS, should be by default.
How many cpus is your VM configured for?

Awesome. Is that a laptop? Be very carefull about overheating. If you're in the northern
hemisphere go stand in a snow bank with it.

I'll look into cpuminer-opt being taken, I was going to go with it..

I've got v2 mining x11 on Nicehash as I write around 88.5 kh/s each thread on my 4790K, low subit rate
though.

Seems like a pool problem, is it still failing?

What's your CPU and what version of the kernel is it running?

Edit: never mind I see it now

I like it. I don't have a big ego so I don't need my name in it.

A name change has been suggested for my fork of cpuminer-multi.

I intended to make it generic which is why I picked cpuminer. However, it was suggested
it would cause confusion with Pooler's version which is still being actively developped.

I am considering cpuminer-jdd or dminer, jminer is taken. I leaning toward cpuminer-jdd
to keep it's ties to the original.

The next release will have the new name and a bump to v3 to avoid confusion with
Pooler who is at v2.

Stay tuned.

My guess is MS has changed an API in W10 that requires all devs to modify their apps to comply.
They've done it before.

Nice work, simple too. Will you publish the normalization factors for the opren source miner too?  I suppose anyone
could tune them for heir own particular setup.

Thanks I'll start digging.

Cross compiling for the windows platform? Tell me more. What do you suggest fo native compile mingw? I'm ready to change
gears. My windows compile setup is AFU and have to reset my VM to a previous snapshot so it forgets it ever had VS installed
to OI can reinstll everything from scratch. And just for fun I have to install cuda after VS. A simple way is welcome.

Yup, tainted code. It's possible to deliver a mix of open and closed source software but it has to be modularized and the open
code must be part of the deal. I believe the open source has to be able to run as-is without the closed source mods. The company
I worked for did this. They created an interface that formed a barrier between the Linux kernel and the closed source applications.
They released the interface under the GPL and continued to develop proprietary closed source on top of it and deliver hybrid solutions.

They eventually went bankrupt but that's another story, already told.

More motivation to learn cuda. It's very complex but my CPU work is a good learning environment for the other parts of
the skill set.

I'm reluctant to distribute binaries but will do it as there is demand, if I ever get Windows to compile.

Igotid did the sse2 optimizations? Thanks I'll add him to the credits.

I think this will work out just as I envisioned and am glad to get your support. I respect your opinion about importing
lower quality optimizations. I'll stay focussed on speed while you can continue with your approach. our fork can
coexist nicely.

Don't worry about being direct. Some times is the best or only way to get the message accross. I can also be direct
at times if I think someone is being closed minded. I'm ok with it as long as it doesn't get personal. As heated as some
of the discussion got on the other thread I was still ok with most of it. It came close to the line but never crossed it IMO.

I'll stay out of the base code for now and let you finish with 1.2. I'll go ahead and merge cryptonight and neoscrypt
and release it. Then I'll do argon2 for my next release. When you get some other alt alt algos in working condition
I can start integrating the optimized kernels.

I'll probably be using yiimp for testing them but I don't have any wallets. I could mine to your wallet address and you
can keep whatever is produced.

I'm looking forward to keeping the lights on for cpu mining.

Happy new year and happy mining.

Uh, yeah, the compiler told me that already. my preoblem is my experience is on a comletely different kind of
system with a different panguage, OS and HW architecture. And my understanding of the basic concepts is
based on that implementation. It's like when someone speaks in a foreign language, they still think in their native
language and have to translate in their mind in real time. That would be the third level of competence.

This project is getting more exciting every day.

Oh crap I'm starting to sound like Tom Cruise on scientology.

PS Going Clear is a great movie. I was approached by scientology back in my mid teens. I had very little money at the
time and since the're all about money nothing came of it. I took their personality test and it seemed pretty acurate.
Then came the pitch. They had courses available that could help me with the deficiencies in my personality. They were
new and didn't have the machine yet. The courses they offered cost hundreds of dollars, something no 15 YO has
unless the're selling drugs. I wa initially inteague by thewoird science in their name. It soon became clear (pun intended)
that the science angle was just a smoke screen for another scam artist using religion to get rich. I was already questioning
my religion at the time and I think it help convert me to atheism. Not atheism as a religion, which is an oxymoron,
but truly the lack of any supreme creator. Religionns cause wars and stifle progress. If we hadn't woken up from the
dark ages the world would still be flat and we'd still be using abacusses to count.

Hi Tanguy.

Thanks for your input, as the precedessor of my fork I have a lot of respect for your opinions on the matter. Also in respect
to Pooler I'll remame it and bump the lelease number to 3.0 to avoid overlap.

I'd like to think of our forks coexisting where I would focus on the older algos while you would continue with the emerging
algos and infrastructure improvements. I might do some of that also. I'm targetting lyra2v2 as the next most important
algo to work on. I might take a look at argon2 also, it also has its roots in cpuminer-multi and pooler design so it should
be easy to integrate. It will also gove me some practive adding a ne algo the optiopns list. I'll keep you informed of what
I'm up to so we don't trip over each other. I love that the modules are almost plug and play.

I fear I've already introduced some bloat as I have different files for each variant of each algo. There is a lot of cloned code
in each file but my problems with multiple definitions at link time drove me do do that. Once I understand what the hell
I'm doing wrong I can merge the common code and shrink the code size significantly. I also like the idea of a single binary
does that does all the cpu identification and kernel selection transparently. Maybe some of it can be applied to ccminer also.

I'm not intentionally tweaking for specific CPUs, I want to maintain full backward compatibility but some of my optimizations
may help on some CPUs and hurt on others. Things like inlining are affected by cache size. Even with my CPU some hash
functions were faster inlined while others weren't. Quark for example is faster if the hash function and alomst everything below
it is inlined while x11 is faster if the hash function is not inlined, but everything below it is. I'm trying to work my way
from the bottom inlining and testing and i stop inlining when the inlined code segment gets too large and cache performance
starts to suffer. I'm almost done that.

It's funny you mentioned SP. While  doing some tinkering with static and inlining I was wondering if that's what SP was
doing. Maybe I am but I'm not asking for donations, just giving back to the community in a non-monetary way. I want to
cooperate with you and the other developpers and avoid the sniping that goes on in the other thread.

I didn't mean to offend with my comments about CPU mining being obsolete, I'm just trying to be realistic and manage
my expectations. I thought CPU mining was obsolete before I discovered cpuminer-multi and got interested again.
Now I'm excited by what I have been able to do in the past coule of weeks. A good morale boost with mining revenue
so low lately.

I hear you about the name. I could stick with cpuminer-multi if you're ok with that or come up with a new variant.

Thanks again for your hard work with so many projects and I look forward to maybe graduating to ccminer some day.

I wish I could code cuda.

And there's the pressure to deliver quickly.
