[ANN][XCN] Cryptonite - NEW Thread | 1st mini-blockchain coin | Bounties!

[dneldnel]

Hi, can anybody tell me if there's another pool besides suprnova?

I mined a few hours yesterday and get disconnected since. The pool is working find cause I still can see a dozen miners are mining XCN. And at the same time, some of my other rigs are mining other coins on suprnova without any problems. Weird.

Got my rigs connected and running. Thanks!

[palgin]

Thanks! I am testing it in virtualbox now.

Edit: Got 5 success syncs in row on windows.

Great! How is speed compared to *nix version?

Good, it's x2.5+ speedup compared to 0.1.2.0, at least on Win.

Will try to port tcmalloc trick to Win build, then update bins.

[ManuBBXX]

is it these sources to compile for the optimized miner ?

[antantti]

No matter what I try I always end up syncing 26-33 minutes from scratch, so far I have tried:

linux + i5 520M + hdd + tcmalloc (fastest combo)
w10 + i7 2620M + ssd + palgins latest
w10 + i5 4690k + ssd + palgin
w10 + i7 2600k + hdd + palgin
w10 + i7 6700k + ssd + palgin

Tried even without router with public ip, no help.

Syncs without errors every time.

I'm solo mining using krnlx fork and it works perfectly! No lag and no errors.
Considering no single error report has been posted yet, I'm optimistic.
What about merging tomorrow?
Can't wait to notify btc38 ;-)
They might need the windows qt version, though.

Qt is a pain    

I've had a plan: create build environment with required libs, successfully build bins and then write a guide so everyone will be able to folow my steps to compile his own qt-build when a new patch will roll out and not wait for me or somebody else to do it (although I'm not the fastest guy in this world). But now I'm completely stuck with qt-build, tried nearly every single combination of dependant libs, max I've reached so far is couple of linkage errors during cryptonite-qt.exe build.

Seems like it's sticked to one particular version of Qt, but as far as it's Windows and I need static libs - I have to compile it manually for my environment, if somebody have ever compiled static qt libs for win, they'll agree that every single compilation takes 2-3 hours...  

If somebody who have successfully compiled 0.1.2.0 qt-version will share dependant libs list (with versions), I'll finish Qt build faster. If no, I'll continue my trials without any ETA  

P.S.: why would btc38 need exactly qt-build, cryptonited can do all functions needed, or I'm wrong?

You are right, but:

- it's not very easy to understand what they mean
- they once sent me a screen shot showing an error with the windows gui wallet
- while I told them to use the daemon repeatedly, they never confirmed the switch

Thus, I concluded that they probably are still using the windows qt binary.

Suddenly, I've succeeded with qt build  

Need few tests and uploading to GitHub. It's not fully autonomous build, but I think I'll fix it tomorrow.

QT UPD: https://github.com/palginpav/Cryptonite/releases/download/0.1.3.0-krnlx/cryptonite-qt.zip 

Run and test, on the first view it "eats" 300Mb less Ram and is low on CPU, sync is OK

Reinstall the application may fix this problem

Do you have Qt installed? If yes, what version? If no, you need to install Qt 5.8 mingw https://download.qt.io/archive/qt/5.8/5.8.0/qt-opensource-windows-x86-mingw530-5.8.0.exe , keep all paths during installation default.

As I've mentioned above, currently it's not autonomous solution.

I don`t have it, then its that

d/ling QT (1.2Gb !?) to try and report back.

Anyway, I'm still working on a fully statically linked version, I'll keep everybody updated by posting progress in this thread.

Thank you dude, i really need this, i will try it whether it will work well.
Whether if using windows can be more than 14 min synchronous time?

thanks a lot, palgin. you rule!

[antantti]

you need to install Qt 5.8 mingw https://download.qt.io/archive/qt/5.8/5.8.0/qt-opensource-windows-x86-mingw530-5.8.0.exe , keep all paths during installation default.

Windows-qt up and running, thanks!

Great, I'll build static version as soon as I find a way to fix linker bug.

Anyway, can you share some results (mem/cpu usage, sync speed, etc.) ?

Thank you in advance!

Where is cryptonite.conf in qt version? It has bad and outdated node list...
