RPC Miners (CPU/4way/CUDA/OpenCL)

[BitCoinPurse]

BitCoinPurse, you have to use correct worker's login.

My logins for slush were just fakes for fun.  Are there other worker logins?  Where do I find/set those?

[LZ]

In the Workers table: link.

[dishwara]

dishwara, what command line options do you use?

rpcminer-cuda.exe -gpu -url=http://mining.bitcoin.cz:8332 -user=###### -password=#########

[BitCoinPurse]

Okay, finally got it to work with CUDA.  I had to set a GPUGRID option to 16.  I'm trying additional options and tracking each.

From the looks of it, there's a timeout reached before my system can fully allocate resources.

Well, I had success to compile the rpcminer, but it fails to link... arg, any ideas?

rpcminer-cpu.exe -statsurl=http://mining.bitcoin.cz/stats/json - not working? But I get response from http://mining.bitcoin.cz/stats/json in browser :-()

Try to add ending slash to URL. There is redirect and rpcminer maybe don't handle it correctly...

Thanks, your advice helped, and now everything is working fine!

It turns out that the problem is in the cmake-rpcminer/CMakeLists which has two incorrect paths. You need to get rid of /remote from the paths in CUDA_SRC and OPENCL_SRC, and then re-run cmake, and then it works!

How do I start rpcminer-cuda.exe on a remote computer?

According to RDP get this:

Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7600]
(C) Microsoft Corporation (Microsoft Corp.), 2009. All rights reserved.

C: \ Users \ administrator> C: \ miner \ rpcminer-cuda.exe-url = http://mining.bitcoin.cz:
8332-user = login.% Computername%-password = 111
Client will start a miner threads
Work will be refreshed every 4000 ms
.. \ .. \ Src \ cuda \ bitcoinminercuda.cpp (1935): cudaSafeCall () Runtime API error: no
CUDA-capable device is detected.

[LZ]

As far as I know, you can not do it using RDP.

[valam]

I find method!

[LZ]

Yeah, you may create a batch file in the Startup folder and restart that remote computer.

Okay.

[romanoza]

I'm sorry for the dumb question, but I do all from the build-unix.txt, how do i build package?

[puddinpop]

I've updated the first post with the latest release.

This includes some make file fixes and speed improvements for the OpenCL miner.  Tweaking the compiler options have also tremendously increased the speed of the 4way hash in the Windows binaries for processors capable of SSE2.

Remember, to get the most out of the CUDA and OpenCL miner, you must tweak the options.  The defaults are just there to give you a baseline.

I'm sorry for the dumb question, but I do all from the build-unix.txt, how do i build package?

Use CMake.

[romanoza]

Use CMake.

Thanks, but:

Code:

-- Configuring done
CMake Error in CMakeLists.txt:
  Cannot find source file "sha256.cpp".  Tried extensions .c .C .c++ .cc .cpp
  .cxx .m .M .mm .h .hh .h++ .hm .hpp .hxx .in .txx

[walidzohair]

Here's some RPC miners for all those mining via RPC.  There's a CPU miner based on the Crypto++ code, a 4way miner using the 4way code included with Bitcoin, and a CUDA and OpenCL miner.  The included readme.txt has instructions on how to supply arguments to the miners.  Supplying a -help argument to the executable will show you the available options as well.

Downloads (Updated 2011-01-22)
RPC Miner Windows Binaries
RPC Miner Source

Use the CUDA miner for NVidia cards.
Use the OpenCL miner for ATI cards.
Use CMake to compile from the source.

Tweaking command line parameters for the CUDA and OpenCL miners will be necessary if you want to get optimum performance.

I have got geforce 8400 gs and i am using this command

C:\RPCminer>rpcminer-cuda  -url=http://mining.bitcoin.cz:8332 -user=XXX.X -password=XXX -statusurl=http://mining.bitcoin.cz/stats/json/ -threads=1 (or 2)

I get the mining started on my CPU with the normal cpu rates and the normal CPU usage (as i see it in task manager).

am i doing something wrong ?

[LZ]

Yep, -threads is the CPU only option. Read readme.txt file.

Added: It should be equal to 1 or just do not use it if you use a GPU miner.
