Cryptomining blog has built Windows binaries of cpuminer-opt.

http://cryptomining-blog.com/7900-windows-binaries-for-the-cpuminer-opt-3-3-cpu-miner/

Edit: they've packaged it with all the DLLs you will need to run and will be portable.
Compiling with mingw_w64/msys does not create a portable build.

NICE!

I guess it's important to use the right version, or??
cpuminer-sandybridge-ivybridge.exe
cpuminer-haswell-broadwell.exe
cpuminer-amd.exe
cpuminer.exe

Yes it is. Or?? it does not work.

...or works slower.

Haswell is for core i 4000 series, sandy for Core i 2000. If your not sure give them all a try and use the
one that works best. If the algo is not AES_NI optimized you won't notice much difference.

I tried the Windows binary. On my E5640. I'm pretty sure it has AES_NI, but the software doesn't like it. Says "rebuild with  -march=native"
Then I tried the other two binaries, they won't even start at all, just crashes.

Oh well.

the e5640 is technically a Westmere cpu.  One generation prior to sandy bridge.  I know that the intel site says that it has AES-NI support, but it has a slightly different instruction set which could be the problem.  It is missing AVX.  I don't know enough about exactly how the miner works to say whether or not that is why you are facing your issue though.  If that is indeed the problem, then you would need a compiled version of the miner without AVX support.  Otherwise your guess as to why it is not working would be as good as mine.

I think you got it. The miner's AES code contains AVX instructions that aren't supported on first generation AES CPUs.
So the miner's definition of AES does not agree with the compiler's version or Intel's version. To get the benefit of
the AES optimizations in the miner the CPU needs AVX as well as AES. That means Ssandybridge is the minimum
architecture required for top performance.

I will tighten up the documentation to include AVX as a requirement for AES performance and also try to improve
the CPU capabilities report by checking for AVX before saying YES to AES.

In your case Westmere is what you have amd you don't have AVX so you don't get the AES miner optimizations. The error
is the miner saying you can.

CPUMINER-OPT-3.3

I tried the Windows binary. On my E5640. I'm pretty sure it has AES_NI, but the software doesn't like it. Says "rebuild with  -march=native"
Then I tried the other two binaries, they won't even start at all, just crashes.

In my E5-2650 doesn't work, Says "rebuild with  -march=native".
But in my other rigs (I5-3550 , i7 2600) see an speed increment of 10 to 20 percent

CPUMINER-OPT-3.3

I tried the Windows binary. On my E5640. I'm pretty sure it has AES_NI, but the software doesn't like it. Says "rebuild with  -march=native"
Then I tried the other two binaries, they won't even start at all, just crashes.

In my E5-2650 doesn't work, Says "rebuild with  -march=native".
But in my other rigs (I5-3550 , i7 2600) see an speed increment of 10 to 20 percent  

It does work.

I know it's confusing but that message is just a tip, not an error so the miner will continue
to start mining. The message should be ignored for first generation AES enabled CPUs.

Edit: I'm tracking this issue in my thread and have posted an update:

I'm guessing you are talking about second giveaway? They will send in within one week from today. So by the 7 or 8 of June you should receive it.

PS I am just guessing.

Fixed in v3.3.2, see link in sig.

[eye-drop]

It's quiet in here... A little too quiet. I'm scared.  Ghosts? BOO...

So whats new ? When can we see that new wallet? I've thrown away the other one even with wallet.dat to makes some space for new wallet

[cyberpitstop]

Great buy opportunity.  Super low litoshi prices, can't wait till they go back to ~20 and towards 1 satoshi

Where is this happening at???

AHHH!!! Sorry, got scared after you mentioned ghosts.

You can officially expect v0.8.0.5 release to happen anywhere from 8-16 hours from now.
Seriously.


Just some info for you folks:

v0.8.0.6 - Planned to include full feature ports to Mac and Linux
v0.8.0.7 - Will include the winning re-theme entries (finally)
v0.8.0.8 - Salvage wallet feature will be overhauled
v0.8.0.9 - To include a "input compactor" to FINALLY alleviate the "tx too large" issue once and for all
v0.8.1.0 - Sidechains/Chain Interfacing (yay) - also a pre-req to the emailing system
v0.8.1.1 - Introduction of the email system (yay)
v0.8.1.2 - Introduction of site-on-blockchain

Future updates will be aimed at improving the newly implemented features that are scheduled to be included by v0.8.1.2

Once the features are streamlined and running right we plan to implement  PoR by v0.8.5.0

by v0.9.0.0 we should finally enter "Beta" and exit the "Alpha" designation. Also at this point the client will feature a Light client which will not require users to sync the entire chain and clog up massive space on their hard drives, although as always we will offer a full version for any fans/community members wanting to run the entire chain to help network integrity.

We're excited to hear what you the community thinks about this kind of a roadmap. Please LET US KNOW WHAT YOU THINK!
As always: Thank you for being a part of this.

 Will be working through the night on this one Also, personally I want to offer my sincere apologies on the time frame of v0.8.0.5, the past couple of weeks have seriously been very challenging schedule wise for me and because of that it held progress and other members back from moving forward.

OMG OMG OMG thats too much at the same time.. my brain is going to explode!@#$

v0.8.0.7 - Will include the winning re-theme entries (finally) <-- cool
v0.8.1.0 - Sidechains/Chain Interfacing (yay) - also a pre-req to the emailing system <--- YES!
v0.8.1.1 - Introduction of the email system (yay) <--- YES!
v0.8.1.2 - Introduction of site-on-blockchain <--- YES!!! x 10

woohoo Staying glued to my monitor

[Tekna]

Devs, as you've seen, we are here, we're are able to wait and we know that anything is about to born! And we are numerous! When everything is ready I want to include some business in this email system!

Anyone notice that they mined a lot more esper blocks today? It just seems unusually high for what I've been mining on my hardware.

I usually get 1 or 2 blocks a day today I have 6.

Wow, congrats.  Haven't thrown hash at it since the issues with suprnova came about.  What ever happened with that, anyway?  Is the pool back up?

the suprnova pool is running smoothly now.

[Caladonian]

yup supronova is working good now as i seen it from my  mining credits, I'm excited to see the new features that the dev are working right now might be keep checking this thread from time to time.
