What version do I need to run Blake-256?

What version do I need to run Blake-256?

cudaminer -a blake (If I remember well), the latest build

[Skarfur]

Can anyone give me some advice on how to compile ccminer on linux.
I always get stuck at windows.h being missing when I try to compile.

hi,can u give a link with ccminer version that can mine cryptonight

Thx in advance

...mmmh...the time after x-eleven... we need a new funky-FAQ to link :O)

https://github.com/zelante/ccminer/releases
v1.2.4 "Split Screen ccMiner" (2014-06-21) Source + Windows Binary pre-release

this is a pretty awesome mod. Does the ncurses/curses formatted output also work on Linux systems?

his is not working under Linux as there is no easy equivalent function for getting the stats.. ; split screen is not difficult

Im taking suggestions on content of the FAQ

Damn, that's slow. Seems to scale almost perfectly with hardware memory bandwidth when comparing with Claymore's AMD miner. R9 290X has 3.7x theoretical memory bandwidth compared to 750 Ti and does around 600 H/s. Surprise, 600 / 3.7 comes to around 162. Same story with 270X and it's rougly 2x mem bandwidth. Guess that's not entirely unexpected since there's a whole lot of global memory access going on with the cryptonight algo. Still poking at it but I doubt it'll improve much without C&C level voodoo magic and that's well beyond my skillset

Out of curiosity, what does a CPU miner push through for Cryptonight?  If you are down in the hash per second vs. kilohash per second range then I'm left wondering if we have an algorithm which is truly better on CPU than GPU.

Kind of falls back on my Proof of Blockchain concept (linked below) to make it too hard for GPU (and especially ASIC) miners to out run a basic CPU miner.

my amd fx 8320 do about 280 h/s
my intel i5 4660k 125 h/s

this is minign monero xbr

Hello, Christian.
I really want you to add to your miner donation.
Which sets the user. (Eg --don 2 = 2% donation) .
I can not donate a large amount at the same time (relative to the amount produced per day).
But, I really want to help the project in its development.
I want to share profits for the continued development of this project.
***************
Sorry for my bad english

Hallo, Christian.
Ich möchte wirklich, Sie zu Ihrem Bergmann Spende hinzuzufügen.
Welche setzt den Benutzer (zB --don 2 = 2% Spende).
Ich kann eine große Menge nicht spenden, in der gleichen Zeit (bezogen auf die Produktionsmenge pro Tag).
Aber, ich möchte wirklich, um das Projekt in seiner Entwicklung zu helfen.
Ich möchte, um Gewinne für die weitere Entwicklung des Projekts teilen.
***************
Sorry für mein schlechtes Deutsch

Forgive me if this has already been brought up (I can't read through all 800 pages), but ccminer seems to be missing two very popular algo's that would pretty much make it complete: CryptoNight (Monero), and Blake-256 (many coins and growing). I know that CudaMiner has a Blake-256 implementation, but it's performance is so abysmal that it's basically useless (which is surprising considering the simplicity of the hashing algorithm). I've been very happy with the X11/X13 performance, and would love to see equally good implementations of these two profitable algo's.

understand it is a pain to read 800 pages... but at least you could read this one

I saw some references to CryptoNight, but it's not clear if that's actually been done (and if so, has it been done for compute 3.0 and newer, or just compute 5.0). I didn't see anything about Blake-256.

I'm assuming that the newest version of CUDAminer has the best version Cbuchner made of Blake-256.
As for CryptoNight, someone posted screenshots of a version that (s)he made that runs it, but that version is not available to the public.

At present all payments would be made to a Bitcoin address.

How come?

Is it because users will be limited only to pools of your choice when determining the most profitable coin?

Well if anyone has any experience using CudaMiner with Blake-256, perhaps you could explain what you're doing to get it to work, and what kind of hashrate you're getting. I was getting terrible hashrates and the pool wouldn't accept any of my shares at all when I tried it.

So CryptoNight is on it's way, but not publicly available yet?

tsiv is having a working prototype of Cryptonite it appears. But it seems it is not yet quite ready for prime time, as it will nearly freeze the machine while mining and cause windows driver timeouts unless you apply registry hacks. For a release this will have to be a bit more polished.

I don't think the Christian version of the Cryptonite miner has this problem. Maybe we could try that one out

It's too fast, it burnt out one of my ASUS ROG MARS cards.

Now im unsure if this is true or not haha

On a side note, if anyone here is a phone geek and has an invite sitting around for the oneplus one phone please pm me

I have 3 spare 750ti's I am willing to sacrifice for the good fight.

Heck I will even up it to 5.
