this don't support verium right?

Maybe it does, I haven't tried it.

Sorry, I can't  find any faq how to compile it on debian . I tried build autogen sh configure tc but still no .deb package produced successfully - any help?


so far after executing build.sh

yes, I published output from some fork, but problem existed till I updated missed libs.
Would you explain me btw what is difference between build.sh  vs autogen.sh ?

small question regarding cryptonight "stratum": each job contains job_id, blob and target

if i connect multiple miners (say 4) to a single stratum emit (job message), do they mine on the same data (effectively mining with lower efficiency)?

cheers

Is not there yet a profit coin for ryzen? Which miner is now the best and what coin algo? .

I can only relate my observations of how multiple threads work. Each thread hashes using the same data
but chooses a unique nonce to avoid multiple threads submitting the same solution. Althouh Cryptonight
uses a different RPC version than all other algos, that mechanism is the same.

I have no first hand experience with Ryzen and SHA and an have not seen any user reports other than
the limited testing that was done by coinbutter.

cpuminer-opt is the only miner I know of that uses the SHA extension on Ryzen so it should be the best.
Only algos that use sha256 (listed in release notes) will benefit from this feature. Most of those algos are
not attractive to CPU miners.

Ryzen also has a larger L3 cache that gives it an advantage on memory intensive algos.

Ryzen (AMD in general) has lower single thread performance but compensates with more threads. Mining
is an excellent multithreaded application.

In my opinion Ryzen is a good choice for CPU mining based on its price, high thread count and large L3 cache.
Ironically SHA does not seem to be a significant factor.

Hey Guys,
I'm new to altcoin mining in general so bear with me. My apologies if this was already addressed, I went through the thread and couldn't find the answer. If it is out there please just direct me to the answer.

So I found this thread and started trying this cpuminer-opt. I've been using cupminer-multi for a few months now, and was excited to see something newer and possibly more optimized. I have a mix of older and newer hardware as I mine. When I run the CPuminer-opt, I am getting reports of rates that far exceed what is actually being recognized by the Pool I am in, MiningPoolHub. I am mining XZC (Zcoin) and when using cpuminer-multi I was seeing rates of about 200-300Kh/s. The cpuminer-opt with the same hardware was reporting as high as 14 Mh/s. Here is the line from my batch file: (separate for each .exe)

cpuminer-sse2.exe -a lyra2z -o stratum+tcp://us-east.lyra2z-hub.miningpoolhub.com:20581 -u curtis8706.12 -p x


Here is a bit of what I am seeing.

Same hardware, just different miner. I let it run overnight and I saw a minor increase in the hashrate recognized by the pool, but no where near what the reported hash rate is. Am i missing a seeing or an argument to correct this? I'm not sure what I am doing wrong with this. Any help you guys can provide is much appreciated.

[joblo]

The cpuminer-opt with the same hardware was reporting as high as 14 Mh/s.

I don't see any 14 MH/s in anything you posted. Also you're using the slowest version of cpuminer-opt
on a CPU that can handle the fastest AVX2 code.

[curtis8706]

Thanks for the reply. I didn't copy from when it was running overnight. so perhaps I am reading it wrong then. Again, I apologize because I am new to this stuff, so if I sound ignorant I don't mean to. I tried running the        
cpuminer-aes-avx2.exe and it kept crashing on me. I was able to get cpuminer-aes-avx.exe to work though.

[2017-05-01 12:24:09] Accepted 1/1 (100%), 13.71 MH, 267.44 kH/s

Perhaps I am just reading the whole thing wrong then. I was just talking to a friend about it. So I am wondering then, is the 13.71MH the total work done, and the second part is the rate that is completed the work? I'm sorry if I missed that earlier in the thread.

Perhaps I am just reading the whole thing wrong then. I read that last line which is where I get that ~14 Mh/s from. So is it actually the second part after the comma that is the real output? Is that the number I am supposed to be reading as the actual hashrate? Thanks for your help!

You're reading it wrong, it said 267 kH/s, don't confuse it with the hash count 13.71 MH.

You should also use the mainstrean version (currently 3.6.3) of cpuminer-opt.

[curtis8706]

I understand now. sorry for the confusion. Thanks for your help!

Is not there yet a profit coin for ryzen? Which miner is now the best and what coin algo? .

Ryzen mines very well on Monero, or anything else based on the Cryptonight algorithm. I have tested it on Crptolite (AEON) with even better results and on Xevan (BSD) with so so results.

Did you compile with SHA? It won't help cryptonight bt it does help m7m.

I don't think so. I haven't been able to create a mingw/msys environment om Windows that supports compilation with SHA.

[joblo]

cpuminer opt 3.6.4 adds support for timetravel10 algo used by bitcore (BTX).
It has been optimized for AES and AVX2. "-a bitcore" is recongnized as an alias.

I'm having problems uploading the Windows binaries to git so use google links.
