looks awesome!  (but it could get a little more complex)
This difficulty should skyrocket until the GPUs are mining 1 block / day   

[gielbier]

We really need a second pool. If coinmine.pl would go down, the network could stagnate a while until the pool is up again.

edit:
Also Pool Hashrate: 1,957.789 MH/s  

edit2:
Also interresting filename on the logo

What's the current going rate for SKC? No exchanges take it yet so it's hard to tell.

1 SKC = 1000 satoshi according to the latest buy offer...
1 mSKC = 1 satoshi
200 SKC = 1 USD at the current price of BTC
But now difficulty has multiplied by 10 since the offer so...

[surfer43]

Every 3 blocks the difficulty increases by .7
current difficulty is 70
CPU mining is utterly pointless... 9 SKC / day / MH/s
Now the GPU botnets have come  
Rank    User Name    MH/s       SKC/Day
1          anonymous         406.232    4,029.325
2          budabob07         346.729    3,439.127
3          anonymous         174.930    1,735.095
4          Calhil                   173.588    1,721.782
Total SKC mined: 1.6 million SKC
15.4 million SKC to be mined!
6.8 million to mine in the next 10 months

the 400+ foks are insane though :p but thats good for our network! and yeah we should have more pools.. any progress in that field?

[escobol]

2x 280x and u got 400+

yay a coin with promising future. or better to say, wow not another cloned coin.

if someone wts, PM me plz

ps: new logo draft looks good! though I would personaly prefer vector-lines instead of 3d rendering. would look better if sized down.

help needed compiling GPU miner.
using windows vista, 32bit


1000 skein bounty and big love to whoever can get it working for me first


i compiled the program in reorders gpu master but i get this error when i try to run the bat file:


C:\skein\poclbm-skc>C:\python27\python.exe C:\skein\poclbm-skc\poclbm.py http://

WindowsError: [Error 126] The specified module could not be found

what dll file am i missing?

[gielbier]

In fact you are missing nothing, you are just not executing the .bat with elevation (run as administrator). Probably because of the way you installed python . (for only this user).

If that doesn't work pm me. Willing to help, but I don't want payment, just donate it to the faucet, the giveaway, or my personal favorite reward for a new pool.

(i could send you a zip with a precompiled version)

skeinhash lib is compiled? the ctypes modul is installed? ... maybe copy the lib "skeinhash.so" directly in the poclbm-skc folder and get rid of all the folder stuff in the "skeinhash.py", meaning replace: "_shlib = ctypes.CDLL('./skeinhash/skeinhash.so')"  by "_shlib = ctypes.CDLL('skeinhash.so')"

[ziegengert]

In this sense I thought it's maybe not spamming to give some guide how I could setup the poclbm miner from the beginning on an fresh ubuntu when using an amd gpu.
That maybe not a new future by Ubuntu, but as a windows user I was absolutily impressed that one can directly install and also uninstall ubuntu in windows on a windows partition.

I am using Ubuntu 12.04 64bit and a HD 5850:

Install AMD-catalyst for linux 64bit:
        1) get AMD-catalyst, extract, and go to extraction folder
        2) "sudo sh ./AMD-<blablabla>.run"
        3) restart: "sudo shutdown 0 -r"

Install AMD-APP-SDK:
        1) get AMD-APP-SDK, extract and go to extraction folder
        2) "sudo sh ./Install-AMD-SDK.sh"
        3) restart: "sudo shutdown 0 -r"

Packages I installed making pyopencl "make" running (compilation) using
"sudo apt-get install <packages>":
        1) python-mako (I do not know if this is really needed)
        2) python-setuptools
        3) ipython
        4) python-numpy (I do not remember, if this was already installed)
        5) g++
        6) libboost-all-dev (I could not install this packs in the first place, but after installing "aptitude" to find the problem, the problem was solved)
        7) subversion (I do not know if this is really needed)

download and extract pyopencl from "https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyopencl", go to extraction folder then:
        1) "python configure.py --cl-inc-dir=/opt/AMDAPP/include --cl-lib-dir=/opt/AMDAPP/lib/x86_64 --cl-libname=OpenCL"
        2) "make"
        3) " sudo make install"

get poclbm-skc source and compile skeinhash lib:
        1) "git clone https://github.com/snoopcode/poclbm-skc.git"
        2) "cd poclbm-skc\skeinhash"
        3) "gcc -fPIC -shared -o skeinhash.so *.c"

go back to poclbm main folder and check funtionality of poclbm:
        1) "ipython"
        2) "run poclbm"
        3) The output shows your GPU devices ... maybe you have different devices on diffrent platforms try: "run poclbm --platform=<platformID>"
        4) restart ipython: "exit()"-> "ipython" (if I don't do that I get an error)
        5) "run poclbm --platform=<platformID>  --device=<deviceID> stratum://<login>.<workername>:<passwort>@skc.coinmine.pl:6400"

thnx ziegengert, here is my way for 13.04

Install the proprietary video driver

sudo apt-get install python-pyopencl subversion
sudo apt-get install git

git clone https://github.com/bmjames/python-jsonrpc
cd python-jsonrpc/
sudo python setup.py install
cd ..

git clone https://github.com/snoopcode/poclbm-skc
cd poclbm-skc\skeinhash
gcc -fPIC -shared -o skeinhash.so *.c

cd..

cd poclbm-skc

python poclbm.py stratum://user.worker:pass@skc.coinmine.pl:6400   

here are flags

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Poclbm

for example : -d o -for device 0, -f 0 - for 0 framerate, etc


(if u use just command line, not lightdm on boot, add sudo (sudo python poclbm.py....))
