Yes it is focused on wallet and pool code have made some changes been working to mitigate the attack most of the day

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"
                },
                {

        "gpu-powertune": "20",
        
        "gpu-fan": "0-100",
        "auto-fan" : true, 
        "temp-cutoff": "95,95,95",
        "temp-overheat": "0,0,0",
        "temp-target": "75,75,75",
        "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

Awesome thanks Calhil  

[BlueDragon747]

added another merged pool in LA
la1.blakecoin.com

[poochone]

i need any fpga working or nonworking shipping to uk

[SimkoMiner]

Can someone posts max speeds for Radeon 280x and 290?  I can reach 2,34Gh/s with 280x (MSI Gaming) and 3,06 with 290 (Sapphire).

My config is (2x280x + 1x290)

cgminer.exe --blake256 -o stratum+tcp://eu3.blakecoin.com:3334 -u Username.1 -p x -I 14 -g 2 --gpu-engine 1150,1150,1100 --gpu-memclock 750,750,625 --gpu-fan 65

Is there some optimized miner for Nvidia 750Ti already? What max hashrate can I reach with this card?

[Conqueror]

I just started mining few minutes ago (motivated by Dirac...)

R9 270 1,6GH/s
HD7790 0,8GH/s

No tweaking yet, used previous GPU/MEM settings from scrypt mining.

[SimkoMiner]

Blake Pools are down? DDOS-ed?

Blake Pools are down? DDOS-ed?

I just conected to LA1, EU3 is down.
Maybe they are adding Dirac wallets?

[BlueDragon747]

Still dealing with some DDoS issues against EU3 and NY2 fixing it now

Edit:
Ok try now both servers should be good

[infernoman]

having some troubles getting my gpu on the pool. its accepting shares and showing 700 mh/s on cudaminer. but it is not showing in the pool stats. and that seems a bit slow to me but this is first switchover to blake-256

it seems the shares coming in are very sporadic. i just had about 5 share in 30 seconds then none for 5 minutes.

Why Dirac will merge with Nautilus coin and not Blakecoin?

[cinnamon_carter]

NOTE, network over 800 ghs, new people are finding out and joining every day

So far the attacks on the pools and attempts to pull other little stunts like double submit shares and submit stale shares have failed to clog the Blake Coin, Photon and B+ networks.....

I expect attacks to continue as only successful projects and those with true promise to challenge the status quo would be given the time and care to try some of the complex attacks that were attempted.   

I am looking into the origin of some of the attacks now.

Never underestimate anyone. Not in the world of coins or anything.

[infernoman]

i have my miner pointed to the merged mining ny2 server. i still have not found a share with 700 mh/s from a 780ti in cudaminer and the server isnt registering my worker as hashing

i have my miner pointed to the merged mining ny2 server. i still have not found a share with 700 mh/s from a 780ti in cudaminer and the server isnt registering my worker as hashing

stats are based within 3 minutes so with low hashrate unlikely to show but you should be creating shares they are only diff 32

Why Dirac will merge with Nautilus coin and not Blakecoin?

Dirac is not merged with Nautilus coin and never will due to different algo but it is planed to be pair (exchanged) with Nautilus coin, just like you can find BLC/BTC pair!

[infernoman]

finally got on. i couldnt get cuda miner to work properly for me =/ i am hasing at 2.5 gh/s with a 780 ti

nice what made the big change settings?

[infernoman]

cgminer mine the big difference it seems i havent used cgminer or cuda before first time. so after i found the .conf file in the pre configured version of cg miner it was easy to get setup. i must not have had it setup properly on cudaminer.
