Ufasoft Miner - Windows/Linux, x86/x64, SSE2/OpenCL, Open Source

[jalen]

LOL this miner runs times better in my Win7 VM than my native official client on Mac OS. Is there a way to run it native on Mac OS?

I'd like to second this.  I'm having one heck of a time getting this compiled and running on Mac OS.  Ver 10.6.x with xcode tools installed.

It keeps hanging on jwasm, but that doesn't seem to be set to run a make that OSX could handle.

Code:

checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... ./install-sh -c -d

After some work with luke-jr, I can now say that ufasoft now works with his pool (Eligius).

Typical command line

bitcoin-miner.exe -a 5 -o http://pool.bitcoin.dashjr.org:8337 -u <your bitcoin address> -p <whatever>

what i like about luke's pool is that you can use port 80 too (great for NATs) and you don't need to register on a website,
you just send the payment address in the user and you receive payments when they go above 1 BTC.

I saw there were posts here having problems with bitpenny pool too so i will write what solved the issue here (it might be the same problem there).

The problem used to be: 
after running bitcoin-miner.exe, it would just get stuck on 0 MH/sec.

the problem was with the pool because it didn't obey this requirement:
"The response MUST include a WWW-Authenticate header field (section 14.47) containing a challenge applicable to the requested resource."

This was fixed.

Under 32 bit linux the program appears to compile without any problems, but I get "Error 80004001" when I try to actually use it. Any chance of a precompiled working binary? I have had no problems with the program in windows.

[Zenitur]

Code:

checking for gcc 4.5... configure: error: requires gcc 4.5 or later

I need precompiled Linux binary (32 and 64 bit versions).

I got jwasm installed but I have to modify the generated Makefile to add -Gc or -Gz to the flags in order for jwasm to run happily, and then I get:

help?

[singpolyma]

I tried commenting out the if X64 non-declaration of language like others have and can confirm Error 80004001

[Dayofswords]

I love you OP

My mining went from ~14mhash/s with 4way on my phenom ll x6 1055T

to ~40-50mhash/s!! Desktop is unusable, but I'll use it when i'm not using the computer


(and thanks thedrs for showing a usable command line, i was clueless on it's use)

I've sent you a tiny donation to ya OP. I'm bitcoin poor but it's something.

EDIT: It's seems to be using my GPU too... how can I turn that off? I want to see how fast it is with sse2 compared to like 4way

ufasoft - so many of us are having trouble compiling the Linux sources, how about just posting a link to binaries for core2duo on linux.

I am having the same JWASM problems as mentioned in a few posts before.
I am trying to compile on a machine which i don't have root on too.

Please just post a linux binary.

Thanks,

ufasoft - so many of us are having trouble compiling the Linux sources, how about just posting a link to binaries for core2duo on linux.

There are problems with -static building of application.
Without -static it will work only on system, where it was compiled.

[winnetou]

I want to compile it by myself for windows but I am a coding beginner. I think I can not use the linux source without modifications ? Is the windows source available too?

you don't have the static libs to link with ?

Really sources are common for both Windows and Linux, but compilation under VS 2010 requires additional libs:
pcre, and may be some other dependencies.

Does anyone know how i can configure a computer to run this miner only when the computer is otherwise idle? (and stop mining when computer is being used)
Would i have to compile the miner into a .scr or are there better ways?
This is for windows btw.

Go into Task Manager and set the process to Below Normal priority.
