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

[Snard]

I am also getting build errors in Windows, both x86 and x64:

x86 release:
http://pastebin.com/fjm5yq4B

x64 release:
http://pastebin.com/pdN4wfca

Yup, those are the same errors I am getting.  The others are warnings and are most likely fine to ignore, but will let Christian weight in on those.

solo for sure, btw for anyone that wants it, they just posted the link to their cpu miner
https://github.com/Max-Coin/cpuminer

do you want to check its the same as you have been working off christian? you never know if they changed something after all the up raw from ATI

christian has said he is working on the code and an official release will be out at 7pm gmt, so he will most likely get it working where it can be tested, then fix the issues before the release time

Could you help me as to how I solo mine? Never done it before

there are many posts explaining how to, even on the last few pages

I think I've set up my GTX 660 TI correctly, but since you own a 660ti too, I'd like to know what values you have, and if my batch files work correctly.

As i'm not able to compile the latest release right now, i can't test things.
For solomining i have setup a config file for maxcoin in my appdata. Username x and password x

Does this line look correctly to you?

cudaminer --algo=keccak -L 64 -l K1024x32 -D -o 127.0.0.1:8332 -u x -p x

And when i'll benchmark it with -D Should I also see  those hashes?

cudaminer --algo=keccak -L 64 -l K1024x32 --benchmark -D

Thanks for your time Christian for making this all.

Could you write up a little more in depth on how to solo mine with cudaminer?  I've tried before and failed.

Also what about the max coin conf file?
Like you just have it ready, or have they already release some starting files? And not the wallet?

just got it, tested it on reddcoin as an example

make a .conf in C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Reddcoin

rpcuser=user
rpcpassword=pass
rpcport=45443
rpcallowip=your ip

make a .bat and open your wallet using

reddcoin-qt.exe -server

start cuda using a .bat (put cuda.exe and the .dll files in the folder with the wallet)

cudaminer.exe -i 0 -C 1 -m 1 -H 1 -l K8x32  -o localhost:45443 -O Crixxus.1:x

open the wallet in server mode, let sync, open cudaminer
i think it is working, hard to tell unless i found a block?

[bigjme]

it wont say anything unless you find a block, could take 12 hours to find 1

Looks like cudaMiner will have some competition at launch, they just posted a cgminer on the maxcoin github. I can't tell if it works or not, trying benchmark makes it explode. Would like to compare against cudaMiner.

[bigjme]

what do you mean explode? if the benchmark wont work i doubt it will mine.
bare in mind that my cpu will mine at over 7Mhash/s, and my GPU is 174Mhash/s

unless cgminer really works it wont compete when by myself i will hash at 184Mhash/s
and this is with only 24 hours for christian to get code done

Yay, arms race!

[bigjme]

we will soon see ;-) someone keep an eye out for their nvidia rates and i will post my actual rates.
maxcoin.co.uk has gone back to the proper website now not the signup one so get ready everyone

[matrixfighter]

I have a GTX480 -- so far I have been very unlucky about mining all the scrypt coins with this Nvidia card. But tonight I'm hoping to make up for all the losses by using your Cudaminer on keccak Maxcoin.  Finally, there's fairness in this world!  

Will we have a working Windows 7 version and instructions in time for MaxCoin launch???  And where is the link where it will be (or already is) available for download?

[cbuchner1]

the github code now has versions of keccak specifically compiled for compute_30 and compute_35.
Compilation tested only on Linux so far.

I know only tested on Linux, but wanted to report back on Windows compile. Getting these errors:

Code:

CudaBuild:
  Compiling CUDA source file nv_kernel.cu...
 
Build FAILED.

Time Elapsed 00:00:58.46
========== Build: 0 succeeded, 2 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

moving the #include <map> to the top of the file seems to have helped

[bigjme]

as i speak christian is working his ass off getting the windows release ready it seems

Definitely differences in maxcoin.c. Not sure what ramifications though.

[sambiohazard]

Go christian go. If I make any coin I will send 25% to you.

[bigjme]

who's ready for their website to crash on release time?

i had a feeling there would be a difference but i don't think they can change it much as it is still using SHA3

[sambiohazard]

I registered at Hashfaster's maxcoin pool. Anyone else interested go to http://max.hashfaster.com/index.php?page=register

Im more interested in solomining atm, if all of this works out as it should

[bigjme]

right from the bat your better off to solo mine, if cg miner doesnt work out, just us here at cudaminer are going to destroy the global hasrate

an hour and half left

Looks like cudaMiner will have some competition at launch, they just posted a cgminer on the maxcoin github.

From their cgminer readme:

This is a work-in-progress version of cgminer for MaxCoin, including everything we have done so far. Feel free to continue development and push those changes in order to help create a working fork of cgminer.

Doesn't sound like too hard a competition, does it?
