[ANN] cudaMiner & ccMiner CUDA based mining applications [Windows/Linux/MacOSX]

[cbuchner1]

*sigh* thats annoying...my linux box (Home server) is an old Pentium 4 with PCI...

PCI is a showstopper.  Pentium 4 isn't.

I still have an nVidia 8400 GS for the PCI bus, supporting CUDA. But that one won't mine you a fortune.

I am currently evaluating a Fermi based GT 630 with 128bit DDR3 memory for possible use in mining, but I am not very hopeful.

It appears that CUDA can find some very profitable niches in mining.

I am implementing scrypt-jane,  dga-dave is implementing the Momentum algorithm used in protoshares: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=404915.msg4390501#msg4390501

[CaptainBeck]

Unless i'm going blind whats the where is the github for the scrypt-jane algo work??

[Banin]

Can someone post a guide on how to compile on windows for alternate coins like scrypt-jane ?

I both love and hate you!!

so i got cuda 5.5 toolkit installed now. but and i have run the ./configure

now when i run make i get this, can you help?

i have libcurl3 installed, which is version 7.30.0, and i dont get the option to install an older version

[RbelMonstr]

Regarding new drivers, on my GTX550 Ti i got a 12 khash/s boost (cudaminer-2013-12-10). 77khash/s with old drivers, 89khash/s with new drivers

-H 1 -d 1 -i 0 -l F16x8 -C 1 -m 1

I'll test my GTX570 when i get home.

[bigjme]

one last problem i am having is compiling yacoin-qt, i means seriously how hard is all this?!

[cbuchner1]

i have libcurl3 installed, which is version 7.30.0, and i dont get the option to install an older version

do you also have libcurl3-dev installed? I guess not

[cbuchner1]

one last problem i am having is compiling yacoin-qt, i means seriously how hard is all this?!

how about

Code:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yacoin/yacoin && apt-get update && apt-get install yacoin-qt

life can be hard, or it can be easy. You choose.

Granted, it isn't the latest wallet version but it works for me.

Christian

[bigjme]

tried it, it tells me the file isnt there. im going to manually force the repository to get the 12.10 as its trying to get a distro that isnt there

[cbuchner1]

tried it, it tells me the file isnt there. im going to manually force the repository to get the 12.10 as its trying to get a distro that isnt there

got it. Hopefully the manual method works...

Regarding compilation: There should be a lot of guides that tell you how to compile various wallets on various distros. They should all be very similar, as most of them are direct forks of the Satoshi Bitcoin client.

[bigjme]

got it, it was trying to load the distro "saucy" when the files are in the distro "quantal"
this is for ubuntu 13.10 for anyone wondering. so now i have yacoin i just have the last issue in cudaminer if you can help?

EDIT
got the yacoin server running and configured. damn it downloads the blocks faster in linux. so yeh now i just have this final issue with cudaminer compiling then im set. it is throwing this error

i have a newer libcurl installed then that, do i need to try and back date or something? i can not find 7.15.2 anywhere

Any clue where this should be??

[cbuchner1]

1>LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'libeay32MT.lib'
Any clue where this should be??

OpenSSL development package.

Christian

[bigjme]

right i have just installed libcurl4-openssl-dev and now i am getting this error

/bin/bash: nvcc: command not found

now i do have cuda 5.5 toolkit installed, do i need to register some sort of path for it?

[CaptainBeck]

1>LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'libeay32MT.lib'

OpenSSL development package.

Christian

I've got OpenSSL development package. but there is no libeay32MT.lib there is a libeay32.lib

[CaptainBeck]

Ok my bad i;ve found it now.

I've got the light version of the OpenSSL rather than the dev kit

[bigjme]

dont know what i did but all of a sudden it compiled. when i run it however it is saying
[2014-01-08 19:29:35] Unable to query CUDA driver version! Is an nVidia driver installed?

now i do have an nvidia driver installed. what am i missing?

EDIT
just to show its installed, i ran nvcc --version and this is what i got;

nvcc: NVIDIA (R) Cuda compiler driver
Copyright (c) 2005-2013 NVIDIA Corporation
Built on Wed_Jul_17_18:36:13_PDT_2013
Cuda compilation tools, release 5.5, V5.5.0

so it is 100% installed but cudaminer can not find it :s
