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

Quote from: kskwerl on May 16, 2014, 06:24:23 AM

Would anyone be willing to help me through the steps of installing cgminer for Blake-256 on Ubuntu? I would be using 290s. If anyone could help me with this I would really appreciate it, I would even throw some BTC your way if I'm able to actually get it running.

P.S I already have the AMD drivers installed

Save and execute this script to install cgminer for blakecoin.

Code:

#!/bin/bash

# 1. install dependencies
sudo apt-get install autoconf automake pkg-config libncurses5-dev libtool m4 libcurl4-openssl-dev screen

# 2. get the source code
git clone https://github.com/kR105/cgminer.git cgminer_blake
cd cgminer_blake

# 3. copy the adl files
adl1=$(locate adl_defines.h | head -1)
adl2=$(locate adl_sdk.h | head -1)
adl3=$(locate adl_structures.h | head -1)
cp $adl1 ADL_SDK/
cp $adl2 ADL_SDK/
cp $adl3 ADL_SDK/

# 4. configure and compile
./autogen.sh
./configure --enable-opencl
make -j$(grep -c ^processor /proc/cpuinfo)

Use this script to start cgminer:

Code:

#!/bin/bash

export DISPLAY=:0       
export GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100
export GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1
                
CGMINER_PATH=/YOUR/CGMINER/PATH
CGMINER_CONFIG_PATH=/YOUR/CGMINER/CONFIG/PATH

# remove old bin files  
rm *.bin                
                        
# run cgminer for blakecoin
su YOURUSERNAME -c "screen -dmS minerblake $CGMINER_PATH/cgminer --config $CGMINER_CONFIG_PATH/blakecoin.conf"

Save this in ~/.cgminer/blakecoin.conf

Code:

{
        "pools": [
                {
                        "url": "stratum+tcp://eu3.blakecoin.com:3334",
                        "user": "YOURUSERNAME.WORKERNAME",
                        "pass": "YOUR PASSWORD"
                },
                {

        "temp-hysteresis": "3",

        "expiry": "60",
        "queue": "50",
        "scan-time": "60",
        "shares": "0",
        "log": "5",

        "no-pool-disable": true,
        "no-submit-stale": true,
        "kernel-path": "/usr/local/bin",
        "kernel": "blake256",
}

You need to adjust CGMINER_PATH, CGMINER_CONFIG, YOURUSERNAME, YOURUSERNAME.WORKERNAME, YOUR PASSWORD and probably tweak some values in the cgminer config.

To show cgminer console you need to type:

Code:

screen -x minerblake

To exit it and leave cgminer running use CTRL+A and then press D
