Any impact on Quark because of cpucoin?

seems stable around 240 ish,  i don't think anyone is mining cpu coin given the accusations surrounding the dev.

[chris200x9]

any calculator coming? I'm at about 0.14 megahashes but have no idea if that's even good.

I don't think so.

@other poster, ty for the difficulty.

thats good enough, just wait
you will get a block from time to time

Hi all

The Github source code and Windows Qt wallet were updated (link in first post updated).

Changes in this version:

1. Added a checkpoint

Improves security of the current block chain.

2. Stricter transaction size checking when sending coins

Some users experienced problems with large transactions (> 100 KB) never getting accepted/confirmed on the network.
This change will fail transactions with more than 160 inputs before they are submitted. If you get an error about the transaction being too big, you will have to send the amount in smaller chunks.
Users that currently have unconfirmed transactions can recover these coins by starting the client with the -salvagewallet option, e.g.
quarkcoin-qt -salvagewallet

Remember to make regular backups of your wallet file.

Amd optimized cpuminer. probably works on Intel? but code had been targeted for amd with caches at least as bit as the old Opterons.

Must be built with CFLAGS="-msse2", tested on 64bit linux. "jh_sse2_opt32.h" has not been edited for 32bit builds and is currently broken.

4Ghz bulldozer is running 107/Khs per core. Total 428/Khs
2.4Ghz Opteron is running 78/Khs per core. Total 312/Khs.
2.8Ghz Semepron 145 is running 112/Khz per core.

Will be working on replacing sse2 with newer avx, should greatly improve the "JH" has sections along with "Groestl". Those two lost the SHA3 partially  based on speed. Skien, BMW, and Blake already run screeming fast.

What about 8 core Operton Linux 64bit?

I just listed what I got and have tested. cpuminer runs a almost full copy on each core, so you should have between 70-120/Khs * 8. Just a guess, you're mileage may very. More cores more faster.


The "JH" section really needs to be updated with an AVX version, which unfortunatly will just be for Haswell, Bulldozer, Piledriver and newer chips. Half of the time is spent currently in the jhF8 function which is coded for SSE2 emmintrin. AVX can more than double that speed for an estimated 25% gain again.

The "Groestl" section is optimized assembly found at the NIST competition site, has the fastest startup which is important when only hashing block headers. Sure there are faster implementations for "big" data, but it's the fastest for quick startup for one run.

Thanks so your .zip file contains the optimized QRK based on those CFLAGS?

Nope, just the code. I can upload a binary, I'll have to compile it static.. pita and all. be a while....

I've included the libraries that ldd at least lists...? should run on most 64bit platforms.  cpuminer looks to expect it to be dynamic. Which is fine, but I'm not practiced at distributing binaries.

We could use a calculator he's right.

[stonefoz]

It's fast, I'll post then all in one place,

the source code:
http://stonefoz.myfastmail.com/cpuminer-quark.zip
the binary: please check if it loads the right libraries. "minerd-bin" is the real thing and "minerd" is a script to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH current directory. Who knows? you might already have libjannson installed.

I send 2 x 5000 QRK with new wallet and they are sent but no deposit

Status: 23 confirmations

Debit: -5000.00 QRK

All ok now. Maybe it's lag on cryptsy.

about 80-100% fastest .. tested on differents windows platform... but waiting how will change pay per raund on p2p pool))

grsoQ1024ASM is inline asm, included from grso.c.
Which version of gcc are you running?

gcc:4.6.3

Any plans for a windoze build.  I am not savvy on windows, but would love to have a version to throw on a windows box.

[Lauda]

Solo mine it all the way!

We really need another pool.  Is anyone else working on one?

any step by step linux guide for this. I only have used gigawatts auto install guide for the quarkwallet, how to get this running with it?

[auctioneeeeer]

The pool won't accept any new connections, my current miners that are running are running ok, but any new connections are not happening.
