Linux/Ubuntu 14.04 build guide

Enter each of these on your command line (you may need to Press [Y] or [enter] sometimes)

Code:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install checkinstall subversion git git-core
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev libminiupnpc-dev
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libdb4.8-dev libdb4.8++-dev
sudo apt-get install build-essential libboost-all-dev automake libtool autoconf
sudo apt-get install pkg-config
git clone https://github.com/HOdlcoin/HOdlcoin
cd HOdlcoin
sudo ./autogen.sh && ./configure --without-gui
make
sudo make install
mkdir -p ~/.hodlcoin/
echo -e "rpcuser=rpc\nrpcpassword=1234\nserver=1\port=1989\nrpcport=11989\ndaemon=1\ngen=1\nminermemory=4\ngenproclimit=6\nminingaddress=yourwalletaddresshere" > ~/.hodlcoin/hodlcoin.conf

minermemory= the amount of Ram in 1gb increments (1,2,3)

genproclimit=   the number of threads per 1gb of ram from "minermemory" (this number must be a power of 2 so 2,4,8,16,)

miningaddress=yourwalletaddresshere this is the address all your mined blocks will be sent to (example "HodlDsNuts57MFNiN8CMrMjC2CYAy8pwi9")


NOTE If you do not want to mine all your blocks to the same address Omit from above \nminingaddress=yourwalletaddresshere


This will start the wallet mining

Code:

hodlcoind

If this is your first time running this wallet wait 10 mins for the blockchain to sync then

Code:

hodlcoin-cli stop

wait a few seconds then

Code:

hodlcoind

To see your hashrate use this

Code:

cd ~/.hodlcoin/
tailf debug.log

To exit from this debug file
Press [Ctrl] + [C]



To monitor your Ram/CPUs install this

Code:

sudo apt-get install htop

Use it with this

Code:

htop

To exit Press [F10]

Insure the proper amount of CPUs are running at 100%

It has been a while since i last mined some alts, but i'm actually compiling your daemon on a test server right now

I'm interested in mining HODL on a VPS, does vultr or digitalocean care about the constant 100% CPU usage?

Has any of you gotten a dispute over it? if not, how has the mining been going in terms of hashrate? I have $20 lying around to spend on a VPS.

I haven't seen too much back lash from mining on these services.. but you should read all the terms.. that out of the way.. your best bet would be Vultr.. Hash is subjective.. so I cant give you a nice chart but on avg. we are seeing ~15h/s per vCPU/core

I have had 7 instances running in DigitalOcean for 3 days straight getting 25-30h/s each and haven't had any issues.  Between all 7 I have only found 2 blocks so I guess you can decide if that's worth it or not. I'm only running so many because I have $10 referral bonus on top of what I deposited and am going to stop once my funds are out.  I recommend Google's compute engine free trial. You can run 4 instances at about 100h/s each.

I always try to be as unbiased as possible, so i tried the tutorial on a completely clean, fresh, ubuntu install (Ubuntu Server 14.04.4 LTS).

Here are my remarks:
nothing so far, i did try it on my debian vps first, but had some problems with the add-apt-repository (you have to install it seperately). Afterwards, i saw the guide was written for ubuntu, so to keep things simple, i've switched OS's

Following this tutorial on a clean ubuntu server, results in a working installation without hiccups
Thanks!

[shintosai]

Sorry to interrupt OP but I just want to know if this alt mining can work with a laptop? is this profitable or not? I wanted to try this but First I want an honest opinion with you or with someone who already dealing with is, btc mining with my laptop is no longer profitable so I'm looking forward to try mining alt if possible, thanks for the reply OP.

We have seen guys with as little as 8h/s get blocks.. luck plays a part with that hashrate.. but if you cruse through the main thread.. you will see ppl mining with laptops..

For anyone who thinks Mining a block is too hard the 5 year old crappy laptop hit 2 block last night. My desktop 2x times faster 2 x the threads nothing. old hp lappy hits 2 overnight this shit should go in the newspapers. Anyway Miners keep your chin up it happens. Happy day.

Ah, so it'd be similar to mining HODL on my i5-4590. I get around 80 h/sec with 1GB assigned, I have tried running with 2GB, I did not see an improvement even after adding up the halved hashrate.
So far I've found two blocks within a day and that was two weeks ago (CPU was running at 80C) 
Since then I've ordered a heatsink and it's been running at 40C at full load, I could keep my PC running all day long mining HODL, I'm interested what are the chances of finding a block with such hardware, I've read that you guys were sometimes really lucky to find 6 blocks in a day with a VPS.

Though it's fun being part of a fair mining competition, compared to an altcoin launch that uses a SHA256/SCRYPT POW.

Adding up all the costs, I'd say mining HODL is profitable in the long run, though I'm really new to all of this.

If anyone is mining on a laptop or desktop, a high CPU temperature is what you should be worried about, get a cheap heatsink for your PC, if you're on a laptop, clean the dust out and make sure it has a good airflow so it doesn't overheat.

Well 6 blocks per day right now is running many servers.. like 56 vCPU

Edit: sry I was a way off.. 56 vCPU is more like 13 blocks per day

[casinobonus]

T.T 22HPS so one block per day is my lucky

Is it possible to change the RAM usage on a windows wallet, if so how?

[samsmith16]

Is it possible to change the RAM usage on a windows wallet, if so how?

If you missed it and don't feel like reading through the thread to use -miningaddress="address" and or optimize your miner see below

1. Make sure your wallet is closed

2. Make sure your Hodlcoin-qt.exe is on your Desktop

3. Bring up Run (Press [Window] + [R] on your keyboard)

4. Paste below in Run
%userprofile%\Desktop\HOdlcoin-qt.exe  -gen=1 -minermemory=2 -genproclimit=4 -miningaddress="address"

*Note put your address in place of "address" like this "HEX8QLWqQ7p7MFNiN8CMrMjC2CYAy8pwi9"
**Note minermemory should be "1" or "2" on windows any higher and you ger a Runtime error
***Note minermemory is the amount of Ram your using and must be multiplied by genproclimit to equal totale Threads you would like to use example (-minermemory=2 -genproclimit=4 is 8 Threads)

If you don't want to type it out every time you start the wallet you can just make a batch file in the same location as your wallet that says the same thing and just click the batch file to start your miner.  If you don't know how, just make a .txt file with notepad and once you save it, change the file extension type to .bat

In note pad type this

Code:

rpcuser=username
rpcpassword=password
rpcport=11989
gen=1
minermemory=2
genproclimit=4
miningaddress=yourwalletaddresshere

Then Save like this
1. In the Save as type dropdown box Select: All Files
2. File name: hodlcoin.conf
3. Save it to hodlcoin folder

Note: if you need help finding the folder just save it to the Desktop, then Search for %appdata%\hodlcoin Drag/Drop new hodlcoin.conf from Desktop to hodlcoin folder

I have mined for almost 24 hours on my server (XEON, octacore) + my desktop pc (i5), but didn't find a single block 

I can verify the miner works, but the diff seems to high.
Thanks for the tutorial.

It's still best to mine on mining pool that solo mining I thought the this coin difficulty is still low and can be mine on normal cpu I have the wallet installed and mining also but no luck yet to make some few HOdlcoin..

[ek3nk4r]

  i mine 1 block after 8 or 10h  with my laptob   cor i7
after that nothing ...   config chang to 2g ram  see what  happens :d

-----------------
2g for me its bad  rate is 64
1 g  rate  120

[Ayers]

stil nothing with my i7, but i'm using only 3 core otherwise i will not be able to do anything else
how long does it take for 1 block?

[ek3nk4r]

for me 8 or 9 h   for 1 block = 50 hodlcoin
  i using 7 core  leave  it  alone

This is odd.. I have a i7-3820 running 8 cores 100% and I have a lot open..

2 windows of chrome open with 50+ tabs open in them..
1 firefox window open with 20 tabs open..
Adobe PS open with 8 windows open inside
8 windows of Putty open
excel open..
4 other wallets open
23 windows of Paint open..

all on 3 monitors


Sidenote 3 threads will round up to 4.. Threads must be powers of 2 (2,4,8...)

So there is no chance if you are only using a dual core to mine HOdlcoin if I am going to replace my dual core and upgrade to octacore it will cost me $150 to our local currency might as well spend it to gpu so I can mine other coins and this coin too

after 14 15h  still nothing  my balans go up  slowly  0.1 !!  but no block found i have only 50 !
why

If that is the case then it's time to give up mining alone it's not worth it anymore,pool mining is still the most preferable way to mine any coins with so many miners mining this coin the difficulty is now very high

give up mining alone  too  today after 17h nothing no block founding ... mining this coin the difficulty is now very high

[khryptor]

I found a block within my first hour of mining

[pallas]

Looks like not everybody still understand that, given the difficulty, the probability of finding a block is the same regardless of the time you mine; i.e. it's the same after 1 second and after 1 day or 1 week.

[BigBoom3599]

If I don't specify a miningaddress but just do "./hodlcoind -gen", will it automatically mine to the local address?

[pallas]

If I don't specify a miningaddress but just do "./hodlcoind -gen", will it automatically mine to the local address?

It will create a new address for every mined block on the local wallet. AFAIK, it's the usual behaviour of solo mining for the crypto coins.

[Vaccomondus]

no gpu miner for this? what is the algo?

[pallas]

no gpu miner for this? what is the algo?

No name yet: it's 1gb of sha512 where aes searches are made. Reminds of cryptonight.
GPU miner possible but likely to have similar efficiency as cpu.

Hello everybody,

I have another question that might fall into the topic Ubuntu.

Hello everybody,

I have another question that might fall into the topic Ubuntu.
Currently I reach via SSH to my Ubuntu and the Miner.
Would if I now close my SSH connection, the QT further mineral or stop working?

Greeting Christian

It should continue to work, if you want to check: run the miner, disconnect, reconnect, run "top" and see if you can still see the process.

Is HOdlcoin more porfitable than mining Decred or Ethereum?

[BigBoom3599]

Is HOdlcoin more porfitable than mining Decred or Ethereum?

HOdlcoin can only be mined with CPU, while Ethereum and Decred are only profitable with GPU, so you can mine both at the same time with your CPU and GPU

any tip how to go best on 2x E5-2650 v2 and 64gb ram ?

on default settings i have around 450-480 h/s
with hodlcoin-qt.exe -gen=2 -minermemory=8 -genproclimit=32 -gen

HPS56
Miners: 8
Threads: 32

so its the same like on default coz 8x56 = 448 but what 4 x more chance to catch the block right ?

Why 4x?
Again, I advise against using more than 1gb memory as you'll increase the chance of orphans and be hash wasting for many seconds after each new block.

coz its 4 miners x 55 h/s
but right let me test on default mem alocation

There is no four anywhere.
You are actually running a total of 8x32 threads.
Not sure why gen=2. It is a boolean flag.
Speed is "the one in the logs" x minermemory, or the one reported on getmininginfo if you have a recent wallet.

I am confused about how mining from the wallet works with regard to addresses. If you do not set the miningaddress=yourwalletaddresshere in the hodlcoin.conf config file, mined coins appear to go into a random address not listed in the receiving addresses. How exactly does this work?

Solo mining works like that on most coins: a new address is generated for every mined block.

Does it pull an address from my key pool?

Yep when you mined a block solo mining without specifying an address.. It will take one from your key pool

I only found it confusing because the address does not show up under "Receiving addresses..." and I would have thought it would do that.

You have 100 key pairs in your keypool at any given time.. unless you change the default settings.. anyway these keypairs remain out of sight until needed.. They are needed when you request a new address.. when you have change from an output come back to you.. when you mine a block.. but every time you take one you get an new one added to the pool.. sort of like beer in a cooler.. when you take one out put another one in..

[arseaboy]

hi there newbie question here, is it possible to mine hold even w/out actual coin in stake?
just downloaded the wallet and start the mining base from the tutorials just want to confirm
if even w/out any coin inside the wallet this mining will work.

Sure, why wouldn't it? It's a proof of work coin, so you can just start mining.
It's true that the main thread says you'll collect intrest on the coins you hold in your wallet, but that's something completely different than mining.

@samsmith16  Thank you. That was a great explanation. Although, I did already know all of that information. I was not sure what key was used for new blocks. I had thought correctly, as you have confirmed, that it would come from the key pool, but I had expected to see the address in "Receiving addresses..." when the block was found. I was mostly confused by the, "why is it not listed there?" That made me question what I thought I understood.

@arseaboy  You can mine with your wallet. You can only earn interest on money you already have in your wallet.

[shintosai]

so in this scenario both mining and staking is different from each other mate? i also have same question luckily I seen this question and realize that mining and staking can be done both from the wallet, so with or without hold coin inside of the wallet just simply make it run to your computer start the mining option base from the tutorial and leave it running you will get possible earning am I getting it correctly? and do you also have any tutorial on how to do it using a pool?

HOdlcoin is not a staking coin. Staking is a form of mining for coins that work that way, but HOdlcoin pays interest similar to the way a bank pays interest for money in a savings account.

[citronick]

In the hodlcoin-qt app, there is a "solo mining" menu under Mining.
Selecting this would do also solo mining?
Instead of using the "hodlcoin-qt.exe -gen=2 -minermemory=8 -genproclimit=4 -gen"?
I am running AMD FX 8 core with 16GB RAM.

Thanks

yep you can solo with the drop down and will use all 8 mining threads and 1gb of ram.. its set to use all available threads and only 1 gb of ram

I should probably post this on the OP

it's been quite a while since i started to work with this wallet I don't know if it's a problem with my laptop or I'm doing it wrong, I open the wallet and select the mining feature I don't have any coin inside it and I let it on but it seem that I'm not getting anything any one who can guide me how this one works? thank you.

If you are wallet mining, you only earn coins from blocks you find.

I have at least 12 coins from my wallet and I seen that my laptop is moving slow when I start the mining feature of this wallet if I understand it correctly the miner needs at least 1gb of memory? correct me if I'm wrong, just wanted to ask as well if closing my wallet will still stake the 12 coins that I have or it is needed to always open for it to stake? thank you guys.

is it possible to get a developed gpu miner on hodl algorithm anywhere soon   

[wisebc]

For solo mining with the wallet, is it possible to update the miner the wallet is using to the new Wolf optimized version?  Or does that even make sense?

The Wolf0 miner is not currently capable of doing what you are asking.

[Ayers]

i think not, it's only utilizable in the pool at supernova, it can not be integrated in the client, to optimize it

When you find a block, you will get paid 50 HOdlcoin plus txfees. Until then, you will continue to have 0. It usually takes me a few days to find a block and my hashrate is 120h/s.

aha, and how are the pools builded ?
They are using also the non gui wallet + stratum proxy for it ...
With all other coins based on this opensource wallet type it works without any problems...

someone an idea what is going wrong ?

You can not Solo mined with the Pool miners... you must follow the guide in the OP.. you can only solo mined with the wallet..

aha, and how are the pools builded ?
They are using also the non gui wallet + stratum proxy for it ...
With all other coins based on this opensource wallet type it works without any problems...

HOdlcoin is a fork of BTC codebase.. BTC has moved on to GBT and these miners don't use the proper GBT (template) for hodl..

If you would like to donate to building the Proper GBT miner follow this thread..

I tried to solo mine HOdlcoin via integrated wallet functionality. As soon as I switch it on my claymore GUI miner (ETH and DCR) is stopping to work. Means it runs but the hashes on both side (ETH and DCR) are dropping to 0 Mh/s...
Mining on CPU seems to continue.
As soon as I switch it off claymore is hashing again...

Anyone an idea on that behaviour?

My specs are Win10, 16GB, I5/4690

I am posting this as well in the claymore thread

The hodlminer is most likely taking up too much of your cpu so the claymore can't work, try lowering your thread count of the hodlminer so you leave a core for your gpus. You'll have to play with it a little so you get optimal hashrate for both miners.

[copychicken]

any dedicated servers for rent, that dont power down when hashing?

I don't suppose there is a way to solo-mine hodl with some kind of interface so I can see what is going on?  I have solo turned on in the wallet but for all I know it could be doing nothing at all.  Is there a show cmd window or verbosity or something?  Or are there any solo-style pools on the horizon?

Nicely written out instructions in the readme file. I love this coin, you can deposit it and get bonus interest, It even updates the accrual regularly . Not sure why noone else though about this because it is a very  good idea. This definitely is a horders coin good investment this is.

[nielsg]

Coin is dead if we cannot use optimized miner to maximize what our CPU provides. Who wants to waste power on a sub-optimal miner? Built in wallet miner = useless unless it is optimized and detects CPU features.

[nielsg]

I say we organize a 51% attack, and wrest control back from idiot devs who chose nutocracy to vote, I voted all my coins, and kept getting error my address had 0 coins, so fix was in, and coin death has already been decreed.

[szenekonzept]

there is another, compatible HODL RAM-MINING currency.

And we added "Bitbreak" (own development), a blockchain shield, that moves the chain,
if the hashrate drops under a certain value (simplyfied: it's a micromining cloud in the wallet)

and added a self developed DUAL-KGW3 retargeting algo for realtime agressive diff retargeting.
Its (simplyfied) a second, hardcoded KGW3 thread, that can be checked against and used to leverage the retargeting.
Its providing more speed, smoother transactions and is much more POOLSAVE, because the leverage kicks in, if you hit a block early than Targettime
(5 min / 10 MB/per block)
We also enhanced and cleaned the code, done by performance guru Chris, the BITSEND DEV. You will feel the difference.

This is not really a clone, but its a port of HODL's Ram mining concept plus  some enhancements we learned from using HODL.
Europecoin has been a former scam coin, that got rebooted and taken over 1 1/2 years ago
it had a supply of 90 million and a total amont of 320 million. (Bittrex last price 701 staoshi, 4-12 BTC volume)
With the current swap we not only introduce this fresh combination of technology,
but we swap the coin 10:1 means: now ther are 9 million supply and 23 million total in 15 years.
(price: Bittrex is switching at the moment)

Europecoin is NOW processing the swap (10:1) for all existing holders, the new network is up an healthy,
Bittrex is switching right now

have fun

For Hodl you need to wait 1 year until you get rewards.

No joke

If you don't deposit your money you have standard interest (0,30%) day after day. Your money it's not locked.
If you want bonus interest (very HIGH interest!) you have to lock your money.. more days more interest.

ocminer is correct. All newly mined coins are auto deposited and locked for 1 year.

I try to set up for solo mining and us with hodlminer-optimized ..
But I get a internal server error:

it also seem to ignore the bind to the IP.

So why solo mining makes sensen - since hours at optiminer just gives boo when mining.
I guess many people are effected since the hashrated dropped drastically.

it is better to buy and hodl now than mine if u dont have a powerfull cpu to solomine...

[Ryan Dugan]

This is solo mining though. I dont have as much hash power so for me its best to do a pool mine. Also you get the hodl you mine in a year. But dont worry it auto deposits your hodl for max interest. Very nice currency to mine I think.

thats right much better to buy and hold let you earn by the interest and keep it while the price still fluctuating.

Yesterday i started with Mining and this generate two times 50 HODL.

I see the transaction in my wallet but i also see:

available: 0
Pending: 0
immature: 389 HODL

Total: 389 HODL

at the bottom i see two HODLings a 50HODL

there is no available coins or how thath working or in make something wrong? Please let me understand the principe of that wallet.

thanks

AKos

There is one year autodeposit now
 Your coin will be available after one year

Is it possible to change the RAM usage on a windows wallet, if so how?

If you missed it and don't feel like reading through the thread to use -miningaddress="address" and or optimize your miner see below

1. Make sure your wallet is closed

2. Make sure your Hodlcoin-qt.exe is on your Desktop

3. Bring up Run (Press [Window] + [R] on your keyboard)

4. Paste below in Run
%userprofile%\Desktop\HOdlcoin-qt.exe  -gen=1 -minermemory=2 -genproclimit=4 -miningaddress="address"

*Note put your address in place of "address" like this "HEX8QLWqQ7p7MFNiN8CMrMjC2CYAy8pwi9"
**Note minermemory should be "1" or "2" on windows any higher and you ger a Runtime error
***Note minermemory is the amount of Ram your using and must be multiplied by genproclimit to equal totale Threads you would like to use example (-minermemory=2 -genproclimit=4 is 8 Threads)

This just confused me more now

Hello,

I've been following this thread, something I like about HOdl, some things I need to ask....


1) Is it correct that any new coins I would mine, will be LOCKED for a year?? Why would anyone want to do that with a new coin with practically no track record?  How many coins have come and gone in months, less than 1-2 years....?

2) Where can you exchange HOdl coins in to USD or EUR...?  I checked coin gecko....it's listed, but it doesn't give you any options to exchange into a real currency....?  What's up with that?

Thanks!

It is your choice whether to lock your coins up or not. It is not mandatory and it is not automatic. The term can be chosen by you, up to 12 months. The benefit is that you earn very large interest.

The coin is on coinexchange.io, I have done a couple trades there. Like many smaller coins though you'll have to trade it for btc or eth before you can get fiat out of it.

Is it worthwhile to solo mine this with GPUs still? Such as GTX 1070 or Rx 480s 8gb?

Newbie question: I'm having dificulty on the wallet thing. I don't know were I find my wallet adress, I try to install the file that is for download on the site of HOdlcoin without success. I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 on a laptop, I would like to try mining HOdlcoin. What can I do?

[charlie137]

Any guides to mine this on OS X?

just download the gui wallet and turn the mining on. got my first block in 5 hours on mid 12 mbp with 97h/s

[onlineportal]

On a normal computer with a nice card can still make money but not very much!

Hi

Recently started mining HOdlcoin, and have a couple of questions

I have a MAC mining from a wallet which seems to be working, no reward from that yet though, but patience is a virtue

I have a laptop mining to optiminer pool, and in about 4 days I have made 131 HOdl coins.

And I have a linux box which I have set up and followed the instructions in the OP of this thread, it appears to be working but

1) I have tailif running so I can see whats going on, and there is a message keeps coming up saying

Code:

Optiminer Flags: AES-NI = 0 AVX2 = 0, Optiminer Flags and CPU Support: AES-NI = 0 AVX2 = 0

Is this normal?  is there anyhting I can do to change these flags or is that some kind of autocheck thing and my cpu for this machine dont have those particular capabilities?

2)  This is a snippet of the output I am getting on my console, does this indicate mining is happening (allbeit is slowly) ?

Code:

3) if i use a receiving address from my MAC wallet in my config file for the linux machine will that automatically put any rewards into my mac wallet?  am i correct in thinking it will?

Thanks in advance

how is minining of this coin profitable now?

[BillieCrypt]

Once mined some of these coins, but had long forgotten about them. This coin is almost not supported on stock exchanges. On the Yobbit exchange there are trades in this coin, but it is impossible to open the wallet there.

[bkbirge]

Coinexchange trades this, no problem.

[BillieCrypt]

This coin is very well mined on Intel processors, but how to cash these coins? According to coinmarketcap, this coin is traded only on CoinExchange with ridiculous trading volumes (0.03 BTC every day).

Put your sells in at the bid and you'll single handedly influence the market. Be a whale!
