[LOCKED] cpuminer-opt v3.12.3, open source optimized multi-algo CPU miner

[pallas]

I'd keep the "cpuminer" part of the name, it shows clearly the roots and how the program will work and look.

[zTheWolfz]

Anyone mining at a pool or just to there wallets?
I tried NiceHash x11 but get  Stratum authentication failed.
I'll double check my run command line.

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

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

I think there is already one out there with that name.

Some results: only using 4 CPU cores of 8.

Checking CPU compatibility...

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700HQ CPU @ 2.60GHz

This CPU supports AES_NI, start mining at high speed...

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

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..

Yes its a laptop why only 4 core are being used. What is your command line so I can check t see my mistake at nicehash?

Edit: It's cool that you can CPU mine in a VM. You can also mine a windows binary on linux using wine.
I'm sorry about the windows delay but I find so much more frustrating and less rewarding.

./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?

Starts at about 500 Kh/s then drops to about 420.
Never submits any share :-/

That is with your bitcoin address added as user? I have the VM set to 4 cores. Not planing on doing much
mining on this laptop< but its a gaming laptop with a 960m GPU & I can adjust the fan speed. Mid 60c on the temp.

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?

Yup -u bitcoinaddress.worker -p x

Well that explains why only 4 threads.

Sorry, X11. Drop may be cause of other activity (will fix with priority) or some sort of throttling.
Will test more tomorrow.

No problem and thanks for testing.

I've taken a quick look at the faster neoscrypt cpu kernel (the term doesn't really apply to cpus but
whatever) and it seems to have a remarkable resemblence to the ccminer kernel (proper usage of
the word). It may be worth taking a look, it might give some ideas for improving ccminer.

[joblo]

Things are progressing well with the integration of the faster neoscrypt kernel. It's almost ready
to compile, just cleaning up the declarations and definitions to avoid collisions.

I noticed that the hash functions are all declared in miner.h.  Is that necessary? Isn't the scanhash
function the gate to the algos? And more importantly could this be at the root of my multiple
def problems with GRS on linux and whatever else on windows? All these macros get imported
to the hash function and the declaration in miner.h makes them visible to the world.

Wolf, do you think I'm on the right track?

How about Fast CPU MIner as a brand and keep the cpuminer command name?
It's hard to call it fast compared with GPUs but it's the fastest CPU miner available
(that is a challenge to anyone with anything better) and getting faster.
