1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / VertcoinBAMT on: February 10, 2014, 08:53:57 PM
Hi All,

I've modified the popular litecoinbamt 1.5 debian based distro to use vertminer-gpu from Bufius:
https://github.com/Bufius/vertminer-gpu

I was going to start from scratch with a 64bit base but time is limited and people need an easy solution to mine vertcoin now:

You can download here:
https://mega.co.nz/#!4wJGiIrR!YCCzM8BqFQ7y9ABzhyLX70ev268p_8h-mbLKop6CZY8

I've removed some of the bitcoin bamt legacy stuff from the perl scripts (m/gpumon, mother, common etc...).

You'll need a usb stick greater than 2gb and just like other BAMT versions if you're on windoze use http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/ or similar - or if you're on *nix, god bless you, dd.  If you're using a mac /dev/rdiskX with dd to speed up the transfer...

This works best with R9 chipset cards and is using the 14.1 catalyst drivers but I've tested on my 7950's and it works fine - eventually, if I get the time, I'll be adding the nVidia drivers, a way to switch back to straight Scrypt coins from gpumon or the web GUI and a new Twitter Bootstrap based interface that get's its data straight from the sgminer/vertminer api. Also will try implement a way to edit config files from the web GUI but that might mean having to add mysql and more bloat...

Let me know if there's anything I should, or should not have done - I'm knew to this and don't really deserve much praise yet but let me know what works and what doesn't and I'll try to fix it...

To anyone who wants to quickly hack BAMT to use vertminer do this as root:

Code:
git clone https://github.com/Bufius/vertminer-gpu.git /tmp/vertminer
cd /tmp/vertminer
./buildit.sh
cp -R /tmp/vertminer /opt/miners/vertminer
cp /opt/miners/cgminer/ADL_SDK/* /opt/miners/vertminer/ADL_SDK/

Then create your vertminer.conf file in /etc/bamt/

Now edit /opt/bamt/gpumon...

Modify the IF loop around line 374-ish like so:

Code:
if (${$conf}{'gpu'.$key}{'cgminer'})
{
        ## MODIFIED FOR VERTMINER!
        # system("screen -r cgminer");
         system("screen -r vertminer");
}

Then edit /opt/bamt/common.pl...

Modify the ELSIF loop around line 960 like so:

Code:
elsif ($pid == 0)
{
        $ENV{DISPLAY} = ":0";
        $ENV{LD_LIBRARY_PATH} = "/opt/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx32/lib/x86/:";
        $ENV{GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS} = "1";

        ## MODIFIED FOR VERTMINER!
        # my $cmd = "cd /opt/miners/cgminer;/usr/bin/screen -d -m -S cgminer /opt/miners/cgminer/cgminer $args";
        my $cmd = "cd /opt/miners/vertminer;/usr/bin/screen -d -m -S vertminer /opt/miners/vertminer/vertminer $args";

Restart your miners and you should be using vertminer.

I'm now in the middle of creating my own ubuntu 13.10 live distro which includes BAMT and is dedicated for vertcoin - will start a thread when I get a chance.

If this was helpful to anyone hit me up with some LTC or VTC - I'm poor  Smiley

Lemme know if anyone is interested and I'll make it tonight!  I've got it running already - just need to customise it a little more for vert...

Hi,

I seem to be getting >= 5% invalid shares mining scrypt, where when I was just mining litecoin pool over stratum it would be <=1%.

Would be good if we could get more of the coins on coinwarz Wink

This happens with me - I've got MSI R9 290's and running litecoin bamt 1.2.

It's almost as if occasionally the api get's blocked or something. Either one or both of the cards disappears from gpumon and the web gui

Very strange - wish I knew how to fix it Sad
