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

[Grifftech]

Maybe someone here can help. I am getting no Block Source Available for Photon and Blakebitcoin wallets. Blakecoin and Dirac wallets are working

Create the config files as directed in the first post for each of those coins. The location for these config files depends on your operating system.

photon.conf

Code:

listen=1
gen=0
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcuser=username
rpcpassword=password
rpcallowip=localhost
rpcport=8984
port=35556
gen=0
server=1
daemon=1
listen=1
addnode=162.243.101.139
addnode=72.23.74.166
addnode=62.219.234.143
addnode=78.26.209.208
addnode=162.243.101.139
addnode=77.121.61.203
addnode=107.170.123.55
addnode=218.146.3.80:3005
addnode=107.170.78.146

blakebitcoin.conf

Code:

listen=1
gen=0
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcuser=username
rpcpassword=password
rpcport=8772
server=1
daemon=1
addnode=162.243.133.80
addnode=162.243.14.130
addnode=146.185.135.24
addnode=184.171.247.23

The addnode lines will provide the wallets with some nodes to connect to.

I am running the wallets from within their own folders and I have put those files in there but for some reason it isn't working

Should I ne putting something in for username and password?

The config files do not go in the same folder as the wallet, their location depends on your operating system.

Code:

Operating System 	 Default bitcoin datadir 	                          Typical path to configuration file
Windows 	         %APPDATA%\Blakebitcoin\ 	                                  (XP) C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Blakebitcoin\blakebitcoin.conf
Vista, 7                 %APPDATA%\Blakebitcoin\                                       C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Blakebitcoin\blakebitcoin.conf
Linux 	                 $HOME/.blakebitcoin/ 	                                  /home/username/.blakebitcoin/blakebitcoin.conf
Mac OSX 	         $HOME/Library/Application Support/Blakebitcoin/ 	  /Users/username/Library/Application Support/Blakebitcoin/blakebitcoin.conf 

The username and password fields are used for RPC, which I do not believe you will be using right away. You can change the username and password to any values you like.

getting a nice 12Gh/s on ny2 pool, good work guys!!  got cpuminer hashing but no yays! yet, is it worth cpumining it with such a big net hash rate?

cpuminer worker also not showing as active on the pool?

minerd.exe  -a blake -t 6 -s 2 -o stratum+tcp://ny2.blakecoin.com:3334 -u xxxx -p xxxx

am i doing something wrong guys?

The last I checked the pool wanted shares with a difficulty of 32 or higher. It could take a CPU a long time to find such a share.

Don't waste your power trying to cpu mine especially on the pools

only time to cpu mine is on release and then just solo mine not pools

the cpu miner is old and is not fixed for stratum and its only useful for solo anyways!

Thank you sir!

Could some help me with setting up CUDAMiner? I followed the link to Github and I am not sure what to do with all of those files I was wondering if there is a download like you get with CGMiner with everything compiled?

Thanks,
Chris

Not a lot of info on Nvidia as I don't have a card to test here is the prebuilt cudaminer

Uhm, there are currently only 2,614,995 BLC mined but the total is 7 Billion, is that correct?

I've been trying to mine on the merged pools since this weekend and cannot get it to work.  I'm using the recommended version of cgminer on a Xubuntu PC that has never had problems mining anything else.  

I get no errors, and the machine is reporting ~2200 Mh/s average and the GPUs sound like they're working, but I get 0 accepts, 0 rejects, 0 WU etc.  I've tried all three pools and it just connects and runs but never actually seems to do anything. My worker also doesn't show up when viewing the pool's dashboard.
 
Any ideas?

I am not sure if anyone is else is running Xubuntu

did you try to build from source

Might be an issue with username.workername/password in your cgminer config.
If you post your scripts/config files it will be easier to solve the problem.

I've been using the cgminer-3.7-blake256.tar.gz version I downloaded from your site, but I did try building from source over the weekend following the instructions you linked to and I get up to the point where I enter

cp $adl1 ADL_SDK/

and get this response -

cp: missing destination file operand after ‘ADL_SDK/’

It's not the workname & password or I'd get an error, and I've quadruple-checked that info. Below is the latest version of the conf file:

Seems like you dont have adl sdk installed, use this:
http://developer.amd.com/tools-and-sdks/graphics-development/display-library-adl-sdk/

[Grifftech]

So I think I am all set with the merge mining now for BLC, PHO, B and XDQ.

Could anyone point me to a place that might have "best" settings for certain cards?

I am trying to find what might be best settings for R7 265 and Radeon HD 5850.

Thanks,
Chris

I downloaded the zip file and after hunting around inside found Linux build instructions but they don't work for me. 

The instructions say "Without the makefile, the easiest way to build this is to run the following command:

gcc main.c –o adlutil –DLINUX –ldl –I ../include/ "

when I ran this I got the following:

gcc: error: –o: No such file or directory
gcc: error: adlutil: No such file or directory
gcc: error: –DLINUX: No such file or directory
gcc: error: –ldl: No such file or directory
gcc: error: –I: No such file or directory


Have to run a couple of errands; will check back later this afternoon. Thanks for the help.
