Then there's cpuminer-opt, which runs on Linux or a Linux VM and is 57% faster than cpuminer-hmq1725,
link in my sig.

Sorry, I haven't set up your miner yet. I've downloaded Debian 8.4 last night and going to set up a VM with it and go from there. May take me a couple of days or so because of "real life" stuff.

Thanks and no problem.

hello community,

newbi questions regarding mining:

(running: Windows 10, Intel core i5-4460s @ 2.90GHz, 8 GB ram)

1. got cpuminer-multi-rel1.1
2. changed config:
{
   "_comment1" : "Any long-format command line argument ",
   "_comment2" : "may be used in this JSON configuration file",

   "api-bind" : "127.0.0.1:22447",

   "url" : "127.0.0.1:22440",
   "user" : "UserIsSameAsEspersConfig",
   "pass" : "PassIsSameAsEspersConfig",

   "algo" : "quark",
   "threads" : 0,
   "cpu-priority" : 0,
   "cpu-affinity" : -1,

   "benchmark" : false,
   "debug" : false,
   "protocol": false,
   "quiet" : false
}
3.cpuminer-multi-rel1.1 runs without errors and shows something like:
quark block 178668, diff 91.06
CPU #3: 95.81 kH/s
CPU #2: 93.75 kH/s
CPU #0: 91.83 kH/s
CPU #1: 91.87 kH/s

Q1: is cpuminer-multi-rel1.1 really mining or just running without errors? I got zero blocks running it all night.
Q2: is kH/s in miner the same as kHash/s in Espers Wallet?
Q3: i get like 45 kHash/s in Wallet. Does cpuminer-multi-rel1.1 mine ~8x as fast? am i understanding this correctly?
Q4: Do you mine with the Espers Wallet at the same time as running the miner? Or does that produce conflicts, with the result that neither are mining?

any help would be appreciated

Hi. First off the algo is based on quark but its hmq1725. So replace quark with hmq1725 in lowercase.
And to solo mine its getting harder because of difficulty rising.
Maybe you should enable debug as a test drive to see if everything is running ok.
I was running it from a batch file. This is the command line i used cpuminer-amd -a hmq1725 -o 127.0.0.1:22440 -u username -p password -D
You can't use both miners. Wallet + miner. Only use cpuminer-multi-rel1.1 since its faster.
Good luck

@eye-drop (or anyone else that can/wants to help )

first, thx for taking the time to help
i replaced quark with hmq1725: and nothing, cpuminer-multi-rel1.1 doesn't even start

greetz

You need a miner with hmq1725 support, cpuminer-multi doesn't have it yet..

Ther are two miners to my knowledge. Suprnova created cpuminer-hmq1725, windows binaries
available here:

https://www.suprnova.cc/downloads/cpuminer-hmq1725.zip

Then there's cpuminer-opt, which runs on Linux or a Linux VM and is 57% faster than cpuminer-hmq1725,
link in my sig.

first offcourse, thx for your time and help.

not knowing / running Linux (did install Linux in VM once, but that's about it)

i downloaden cpuminer-hmq1725
now what? clicking cpuminer.exe: it doesn't start

greetz

Click? what's that?

[MrPlazu]

Found another block last night. Solo mining. Two quad core CPUs (with hyperthreading).

what does a full block give?

My account was blocked for 7 days,now i am back.

Found another block last night. Solo mining. Two quad core CPUs (with hyperthreading).

Was that mining with the wallet or cpuminer-hmq1725? If wallet mining works with cpuminer-hmq1725
it should also work with cpuminer-opt, or I can get it to work.

The question more to the developer.
Is the developer has plans in the future to implement PoS ? " on a small percentage "

No PoS, directly avoiding that actually with development of the PoR system. It's just not very simple to design as all exploits must be found and patched before ever thinking of releasing the functionality.

A question to the people WHO knows koding and hardware.

A have 2 "old" Antminer s3+ doing not that much. Would it be possible to update the CGminer on them with HMQ1725 algo? And Second... Would it be effective to mine ESP on them?

No, you can't. Completely different algo.

Pallas that's wrong, although what MrPlazu is thinking of doing isn't correct either, to get HMQ1725 to mine on an antminer s3 you would need to updated the code base that the antminers run on (which is CGMiner) and then compile it for the MIPS processors that are asic chips. you would then have to push the mining software update to the asics and you could mine using them.

However they are asics with a very small instruction set (hence mips and its RISC architecture instead of the normal CISC arc) so you would probably have to do some tests to make sure that you are only using instructions that they can understand. The mining wouldn't be SHA speed either. it would be much slower due to what i am assuming are large inefficiencies for mining in the HMQ1725 algo.


If you don't know how to set up cross compilation for a mips environment, or aren't well versed in both mining software code and mips assembly code, then this will almost certainly be impossible for you to do.

No offense, but in the mining development/coding arena, Pallas could run circles around you... and then eat you. He's completely right. An S3 consists of a small controller board, and then a SHITTON of ASIC chips that only perform SHA-256d. There's zero possibility of ever doing it on those - or anything execpt SHA-256d mining - until you melt them down to scrap metal. The little CPU on the controller board may be capable of doing it - but that is CPU mining, and it would be better done on a real system, as the CPU on the controller board is no doubt as cheap as possible.

Hey there Wolf0! Btw, just wondering, We heard you'd like compensation for the optimized miner. Any chance on a solid price? PM if you'd like


@Everyone -

NEWS

Seriously, very sorry for all the delays, I've personally been on call at my workplace and it has been a CRAZY weekend!

Good news:

New nodes launched (thank you animalroam)
Espers Nodes:

188.213.175.51
81.2.242.98
89.36.215.243
89.40.117.223
89.38.146.124

Ports are 22447.

They will be hardcoded into the next client release as well.


As far as the new client goes, it is still under development we are working on it as quickly as possible.
Will have a few screenshots soon and expect to release the client later today if things go well.
Thank you all for understanding.

bad news:

None... Well... just time delays but otherwise none.

Please help, I get this error when trying to GPU mine ESP (AMD HD 6970):

check your catalyst sw. i use 14.9 and no problem.

Thanks for the advise but I still get the same error.
Regards

I tested several catalyst version and I had same errors. I have no problems with 7870.

I tried a few different CCC versions, even the Beta and still cant get it to run.
Still crashes

Update trashed the AMD card and replaced it with an GTX 780 Ti works mint, surprisingly.

Do you want to sell a billion of ESP? The buy market on EmpireX is like 2.5 billion so you could dump it there ... just tell me before you start please

After 3 billion ESP dump this coin will hit the floor and get sick

Better now than then, weak hands have to dump when coin is not born yet and is cheap, in order to buy it easily; With strong hands, good community that helps business, new whales involved by buying cheap coins and the development, everything can start for real.

Thanks for this post, very interesting. Any links you can share on the relationship between mining code & mips?

Hey, I'll try to get you on the Slack now.

It was with one of those cpu-miners before yours. Some guy compiled a Windows version. I forgot what page of this giant thread, somewhere in the middle, LOL (or it may be linked in the OP.)

Basically I have it connect to the loopback address. The QT wallet is running in the background but not mining with the built-in miner.
