[ANN][BLC] Blakecoin Blake-256 for GPU/FPGA With Merged Mined Pools Stable Net

[BlueDragon747]

Have couple of FGPA Ztex 1.15y quad boards.
Any idea what to mine?

here is the miner for Ztex 1.15y https://blakecoin.org/cgminer-3.1.1-blake-fpga-ztex.7z
examples are set in cgminer.conf and .bat so just edit your details

cgminer 3.1.1 blake256 doesn't start mining with windows 10 and amd r9 390

this is the ouput of verbose

Code:

.
Now if i start the miner without any config file only using the command the output given above doesn't even appear.

On trying to run without any command line paramrtrrs and config file its the same output, as well as in case for running without any command line parameters but with a config file.  
  
I am using the latest amd 17.12.2 drivers even tried an older driver but it doesn't fix the issue.
  
Any help will be appreciated

miner used http://www.blakecoin.org/cgminer-alt-pool-la1.7z

dont use latest driver is my advice as amd have changed all sorts would need to recompile with later sdk

older driver should work fine and newer driver very rarely improve hashrate

try 16.9.2 which should work fine on r9 390

http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/amd-radeon-software-crimson-16-9-2-driver-download.html

any issues removing or changing driver use DDU

Any idea what to mine?

If you use Windows as mining platform the cgminer Bluedragon mentioned should be fine. I used the same for testing until i changed onto a Raspberry as mining controller.

This was my Mine.Bat content:

Code:

cgminer --disable-gpu --url stratum+tcp://eu1.blakecoin.com:3334 --userpass youraccount.yourworker:yourpassword

If you like to use a Raspberry Pi too, i can share a SD-Card image if you like to (just need to write a little text for it, so you wouldnt mine on my account)

I tried with 16.9.2 aswell ut it's the same result it crashes after that.

could it be a problem because of amd sdk installed on my pc to compile some other miner?

could you help me compile it with latest sdk?

Did you use DDU to remove drivers?  I have a 290 here running win 10 and driver 16.9.2 and its working not sure there is any difference between the 290 - 390 apart from faster ram

yeah maybe

I dont have it setup for compiling the miner atm sorry

Yes I had used DDU. But it failed even then. Trying on a fresh install windows on usb with 16.9.2 if it works then it means there's something conflicting in windows if it doesn't idk what.

The thing is someone I know had it running on latest driver with 580, and on another PC with some old driver with 390

But it doesn't run on mine

yeah that is weird not sure what else you could try it should be working  

can you try these and see if any give different result on 16.9.2

cgminer.exe --blake256 -o stratum+tcp://eu3.blakecoin.com:3334 -u loneSilentWolf.r9390 -p password

and

cgminer.exe --blake256 -o stratum+tcp://eu3.blakecoin.com:3334 -u loneSilentWolf.r9390 -p password -T

oh and if your not using cgminer.conf rename it something like cgminer.conf.backup

Will do. Taking a bit of time to set up usb windows. Once I am done with it I'll boot into normal windows and do this

It crashes the first one just shows

The other command I ran as is and with

Okay so it worked on my usb windows version. Must be some conflicting software I guess then. Probably the sdkbi installed to compile some other miner

yeah must be a conflict but glad to hear you got it working in the end

It's a band-aid solution to say the least it still doesn't work on my pc.
I Even uninstalled many programs to see if that work, it didn't.
Only thing left is that it's either avast or some windows update got corrupt on me.

Since my portable windows has no update on it nor any antivirus ATM. I'll try installing avast on it and even upgrading the drivers and see how it goes.

So now the beginning of a long long torturous way

Trying to compile blakecoind on Ubuntu 17.04 32 Bit i get the following error:

Code:

Makefile:315: recipe for target 'blakecoin-qt' failed

a few packages that were mentioned as dependancies could not be installed in the original way as mentioned on github. I installed them as followed:

sudo apt-get install git-core build-essential libssl-dev libboost-all-dev libdb5.3-dev libdb5.3++-dev libgtk2.0-dev libminiupnpc-dev qt4-qmake mingw-w64 synaptic qt-sdk qt4-dev-tools libqt4-dev libqtcore4 libqtgui4 libdb++-dev

The bold marked packages are the ones i had to change, to get them installed. Maybe these needed changes are the problem?
Any other hints on the fail while doing make?

I found 16.04 great but 17.04 not so much need to make some changes and its just a PITA

if you change the deps need to make changes to the makefile.unix to reflect which ones you do have *from the error they are all boost issues so check which one and edit makefile

you can get issues with newer boost check this out

https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/6114/files

or panopolis did some updates for newer distros here

https://github.com/panopolis/Blakecoin

[Neshdan]

Thank you Bluedragon.
It seemed i did it the wrong way (sorry, i have no experience with building, or its to long ago).

Now i tried it the way described in src/build-unix.md - so did

Code:

make -f makefile.unix

out of the src folder and it ran through (besides a ton of warnings) - it even seems blakecoind is syncronizing (folder is growing).

The issues mentioned with boost... i made the change that was described there before running make.

But at all... be aware of more questions and despair to come

no problem 

the most common commands I run to build for ubuntu 12.04-16.04

Code:

sudo git clone https://github.com/BlueDragon747/Blakecoin
cd blakecoin/src

cd src/leveldb
chmod +x Makefile
chmod +x build_detect_platform
sudo make libleveldb.a libmemenv.a
cd ..

sudo make -f makefile.unix USE_UPNP=0

sudo strip blakecoind

if your on a home network behind nat/firewall best to set UPNP=1 but for public nodes with public ips I turn it off to avoid exploit crashing nodes

As eloipool returned as a dead pool, i tried to run blakecoind in solo config first - just to test if it works alone.
After a few struggles with connecting my miners to the blakecoind on my virtual ubuntu machine, i got it to work and it even found a block this night (wanted to test the whole functionality). The block is still immature, but i think this will work too.

I now have the following problem:
i start blakecoind by

Code:

./blakecoind -datadir=/home/osboxes/Desktop/Blake/BlakeData -daemon

and it says "Blakecoin server starting"

Now i have a problem to stop that server.
What i did:

Code:

./blakecoind -datadir=/home/osboxes/Desktop/Blake/BlakeData -rpcusername=myusername -rpcpassword=mypassword stop

and it says "Blakecoin server stopping"

So far so good. But if i want to restart the server i get "Error: Cannot obtain a lock on data directory /home/osboxes/Desktop/Blake/BlakeData. Blakecoin is probably already running."

If first have to kill the process by

Code:

sudo pkill -9 -f blakecoind

to be able to restart the server.

So now, the question is: Whats wrong. Did i miss something?

I just want to clear things for myself before trying further with eloipool and maybe merged mine. But if i fail to use the simple solo version, how should i succeed in the more complicated.

no need to pass arg when stopping

Code:

./blakecoind stop

and if you want to make life simpler just set all your details in conf and avoid passing via command

example blakecoin.conf would be like (note the rpc allow can also be like 192.168.1.* and the rpc port)

Code:

listen=1
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcuser=myusername 
rpcpassword=mypassword 
rpcport=8772
logtimestamps=1
server=1
daemon=1
addnode=146.185.135.24
addnode=104.238.177.36
addnode=104.238.133.35 
addnode=107.191.58.189
addnode=108.61.242.204
addnode=107.170.178.92 

Code:

./blakecoind -datadir=/home/osboxes/Desktop/Blake/BlakeData

Ignatius did a private merged pool setup guide here Here

I tried to stop the server with

Code:

./blakecoind -datadir=/home/osboxes/Desktop/Blake/BlakeData stop

but it didnt work first. When i tried to restart the server, it said it seem to be running (cannot obtain lock on data directory). I again had to kill the process.


Then i tried

Code:

sudo ./blakecoind -datadir=/home/osboxes/Desktop/Blake/BlakeData stop

and got the following response on the first try:

Code:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'boost::exception_detail::clone_impl<boost::exception_detail::error_info_injector<boost::lock_error> >'
  what():  boost: mutex lock failed in pthread_mutex_lock: Invalid argument

The server was stopped (obv. by the exception).

After that i tried it again. The server stopped without any exception and could be restarted without any process kill. But sometimes i have to call the stop command two times until the server really stops (sometime the try to lock the data dir fails, when i only stopped the server once).

If i just try

Code:

sudo ./blakecoind stop

it fails, because the datadir isnt the one blakecoind wants to set without params.


BTW. i used the linked guide from Ignatius to install the eloipool. But as for now, i just want to make sure blakecoind is running well before trying to use mining it over eloipool (and then trying to get into merged mining, if i come that far).
