Hope there will be a pool.

Solo mining is not suitable now

I am working on pool now - does not work!

Thank you for sending coin. please confirm my batch for minerd is correct also what can i do to actually solve a block its very frustrating and although i am skilled at pool mining i never attempted to mine solo.  is there a way i can check to make sure i  am actually mining. No errors in the minerd command line but i did receive coin so at least that works

Using the minerd client, run it without the -q option (-q as in quiet)
If you are mining from within the Blakecoin-qt wallet, run the command "getmininginfo" without quotes in the console. There you will eventually see hashes per sec, so you can see that you are in fact mining.

I am working on pool now - it should work now but still in beta!

something wrong with block submission - please stop mining until I confirm it works

Can someone provide a tutorial to make it work on Linux ?

[DimaziK]

I can't be connected!
This line true?
minerd -O stratum+tcp://blc.coinmine.pl:6040 -u XXX -p XXX -a blake -s 2 -t 5

for ubuntu 12.04 I build as follows

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install -y git-core build-essential libssl-dev libboost-all-dev libdb5.1-dev libdb5.1++-dev libgtk2.0-dev libminiupnpc-dev qt4-qmake mingw32 synaptic qt-sdk qt4-dev-tools libqt4-dev libqt4-core libqt4-gui libdb++-dev

blakecoind:
sudo make -f makefile.unix USE_UPNP=1

should have built at this pont

sudo apt-get install blakecoind
chmod +x blakecoind
sudo ./blakecoind -daemon

will error 1st time run as we need to create a conf file

cd /home/UserName/.blakecoin
sudo nano blakecoin.conf

now run
sudo ./blakecoind -daemon

check running
sudo ./blakecoind getinfo

for blakecoin-qt:
sudo make USE_UPNP=1

hope that helps 

Initial setup on Linux can be a pain 

if anyone has a better way or has different build instructions on other Linux distro's them please post your config method

it tells me quark is not a valid command (or something like that) maybe i need the algorithm ?

you need to use "-a blake" instead of "-a quark"

blakecoind:

Doesn't work because of levelDB.

Code:

/tmp/Blakecoin/src# make -f makefile.unix USE_UPNP=0
Building LevelDB ...
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/tmp/Blakecoin/src/leveldb'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `libleveldb.a'.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/tmp/Blakecoin/src/leveldb'
make: *** [leveldb/libleveldb.a] Error 2 

Same with upnp 0 or 1 or none.

Tried this afternoon to build this with the Feathercoin leveldb directory, same trouble.
Tested on Debian Wheezy, SID and Ubuntu 12.something.

I got it working on ubuntu with 'libleveldb.a' and 'libmemenv.a' copied from the quarkcoin leveldb directory.

here is the leveldb from the dev build

Edit: fixed issue on Github

one of the makefiles needs a fix I think will look into it

I copied the leveldb makefile from https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/leveldb/Makefile and it worked OK on raspi (just compiling the daemon though). You also need to create the src/obj directory before running make.

Just for info, this is what I did to compile on raspi wheezy (dependency info from https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=191729.0 )

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install libboost1.50-dev libboost-filesystem1.50-dev libboost-system1.50-dev libboost-program-options1.50-dev libboost-thread1.50-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libdb5.3++-dev libminiupnpc-dev

There was also an issue with the berkley db library ...
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ldb_cxx-5.1

For which I hacked a fix by doing this (probably a completely atrocious hack, but it did get the linker to accept it)
cd /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf
sudo cp libdb_cxx-5.3.so ../libdb_cxx-5.1.so

I can't believe I've got so much help. Great community for this coin.

I can't believe I've got so much help. Great community for this coin.

Yeah it has been good feedback from everyone so far please keep sharing info and reporting bugs and I will try my best to support Blakecoin over the coming years.

I have spoken with kramble about the fpga miner and he is going to have a look at it for us, I really respect the work kramble has put into his fpga litecoin miner fingers crossed we get good results from the blake algorithm 

Blakecoin is not yet perfect and still has a few bugs to sort out but I am an open developer and more than happy to take feedback and work on solutions for the community

guys - my pool doesn't work - please put your hashes elsewhere for a while
