[ANN] [QRK] Quark | Core 0.10 upgrade

[cryptohunter]

Hmmm anyone got an example for linux cpuminer

i have followed this guide

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=264866.0

which was great and can mine from the wallet. However the script that sets it up leave the username blank in the conf file ?

anyone got a correct config file to use for solo mining with cpuminer  also even the correct port for linux solo mining??


I'm trying to follow this instruction for kingcoin but use it for quark


git clone https://github.com/jgarzik/cpuminer
cd cpuminer
./autogen.sh
CFLAGS="-O3 -Wall -msse2" ./configure
make
./minerd -o localhost:33333 -u user -p pass



So i changed it to

./minerd -o localhost:8910 -u user -p pass

however since the auto install has no username? it will not work.

i used winscp to change the conf file to user=1  password=2

however even this

./minerd -o localhost:8910 -u 1 -p 2

does not work.

Can someone just put an example  conf and example command line for the miner command in linux?

thanks


this is my latest quarkcoin.conf

problem is quarkcoin wont even start with that conf file???

Is it to do with the way the auto script set it up, should i try to manually install quarkcoin from scratch?

Add "-a quark" after ./minerd

edit; oh you're using a different git, use this one: https://github.com/Neisklar/quarkcoin-cpuminer

Ok thanks this seemed to help a bit not sure if it is mining i just see lots of instructions about minerd now

ah i see i am not using the correct miner that could be a slight issue right there ok i try to get this miner instead, thanks



Ok some progress

i ran it and i see

then it stops?  should i be seeing anything else after this or is it mining??

how can i mine solo with new miner quark_cpuminer-2.3.2_w64 ?

i start quarcoind-qt but i cant connect with cpuminer ?!

what do i wrong how is that possible to mine solo???


thanks

who told you that was the port 11973?

i have 8910 given by the dev?

You can specify the port in the options, with rpcport=xxx, i just used 8 9 10 since that was better for my old brain to memorize ;-)

AMD Bulldozer optimized (1st and 2nd gen Miners) - win64
----=====------

Use bdver1 for generation 1 bulldozers (8150, etc)
 bdver2 for newer generation 2 (8350).

Gen 2 can run either minerd , but you may get small boosts so try both.

Will most likely not work on any other chips!

This code was at least 5-10% faster than previous released bins on BD hardware.

Hello,

i am curious how hard it is to find any information how mining works on windows for QRK.
I managed to get the Client connected and stated the Client with the conf from first post.
My CPU Load is 100% but even after 2h nothing happend. (at the first start there was a curious thing it showed that i got 4x 2048 QRK from Mining, but they disapeared after the Blockchain was synced :-( )

I remember from other coins that for solo mining a file called minered is needed and for pool mining a special commandline miner is needed to connect to the pool.

That is where i got stuck i searched a lot on google and downloaded the 2 programs and used them like i know it from the other coins.
But it doesnt work because QRK uses other hashing.

Why is there no "getting startet" or a short hint site on that QRK pool, this is very disapointing.
What is the name of the hashing algo used for QRK? (which --flag should be used? its not sha256 or scrypt.)


So the where is the native windows Cpu miner for Pool mining (binary file), what is the name and where can i download it?
(found only linux+sources to compile for windows)



greetings

from what i can see, cpu miner takes dual quad xeon l5420 from 290000 to 320000  so a reasonable improvement over the wallet but not a massive amount on ubuntu 64tbit

And the improved version posted a page or two ago takes it to 600 kH/s. I can vouch for that figure personally, being the proud owner of one of those machines.

How many blocks/day you get with that?

[stonefoz]

More hideous speed hacks. While not quite as impressive as my first release, I'm cleaning up the code so we eventually get a proper quark-hash function.

Currently it does vast amounts of unnecessary work when it only needs to run on one size, one thing, more blocks.

At least on my machine.
Per core, "stock" 70/Khs, V1 107/KHs, this is V2 at 115/KHs

I wrote this cause I'm greedy, and so I leave my tip jar

Hi,

Do you mean this one

https://github.com/Neisklar/quarkcoin-cpuminer

built with this
CFLAGS="-O3 -Wall -msse2" ./configure ?

i'm seeing 41000 per core? so x 8 about 320 000kh?

Dual quad l5420 ?  are you sure you are getting 600 000?

that's the one i am using?
also is your machine windows 64 bit or ubuntu?

If your CPU load is 100% you are probably mining. 2 hours is not enough to necessarily find a block on your own.

Here's some info on the pool. Basically just run the miner with the parameters described below:

thanks so if i download this one

i just compile with this even for 64 bit?

that is the only thing i put on that command line?

Ok thanks i see i need the m on there what about the 03 part? no need for this now?

i see this example in the readme  CFLAGS="-msse2 -O3"  is that for 64bit ?
