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

[floe]

Hi everyone,

I'm getting a bit of a weird assembler error here on Ubuntu 11.04 with jwasm 2.05 (didn't find any specific version requirements):

Code:

[0] $ make
jwasm -3 -elf -zcw -c -Fosha256sse.o sha256sse.asm
JWasm v2.05, May 29 2011, Masm-compatible assembler.

sha256sse.asm(76) : Error A2036: Scale factor must be 1, 2, 4 or 8
sha256sse.asm(77) : Error A2036: Scale factor must be 1, 2, 4 or 8
sha256sse.asm(153) : Error A2036: Scale factor must be 1, 2, 4 or 8
sha256sse.asm(169) : Error A2036: Scale factor must be 1, 2, 4 or 8
sha256sse.asm: 316 lines, 1 passes, 0 ms, 0 warnings, 4 errors
make: *** [sha256sse.o] Error 1

However, the respective scale factors in the assembler code are always 4...?
Error occurs both in 64-bit and 32-bit compilation. Any hints?

Thanks,
Florian

I just had to create a new symbolic link to the PCRE library -- I'm off and running now with UFAsoft 32-bit on my 64-bit machine.

I'm getting 18 MH/s on my 2600K (3.4 GHz quad core) CPU.

[AngelusWebDesign]

I thought 64-bit Linux was ready for prime time -- and if it's not, WHEN will it be?
I was one of the early adopters back in '07, but I gave it up because it didn't seem ready.

Why can't Ufasoft's miner compile in 64-bit? You'd think if everything was 64-bit it would compile fine.

.... there's nothing wrong with a 64 bit kernel because an obscure program that has missing parts of a 64 bit implementation design doesn't work on it.

It's a bit analogous to "Eff blue-ray players - my Sony MiniDiscs are useless now!"

You can download the source and you are completely free to shim up the assembly.

If you look through the source, you'll see quite a few instances where 64 bit "stuff" was added but never completed.  For example, the language definition not existing for 64 but being present for 32.

hey Everyone, i'm new to the group and i just playing with bitcoin and its great. i've got it running on a decent rig but its only using the CPUs. i have 4 dual core cpus, 8 logical on an i7 920@2.67ghz. this is ok and i'm getting 14mhash with all cpus pegged.

i have two Radeon 3400 HD cards installed but i don't think bitcoin-miner is using them. i tried running bitcoin-miner with -t 0 to disable cpu but nothing happened. 0%

i should get more out of the video cards than cpu right?

i've already found so much great info here. any help is greatly appreciated

thanks

Try one of the GPU miners. This miner is CPU only.

Use jwasm <=2.04, the latest one (2.05) refuses to compile.

"Error 801901F4" - what is this??? 

[seamusmcaffrey]

i think that's the "can't connect to host" error, isn't it?

noob question for anyone out there. finally got pooled mining working using this miner (props to dev, thank you, it's been a headache for a day trying to see some results here). so now i'm wondering- this is just a test, just want to see if it can work, i'm only hashing at .8ish Mhash/s, super slow i know, in the pool mining.bitcoin.cz; i'm wondering in my stats when i should be able to see an estimated reward for current round or whatever. is it too slow to even expect any portion of the block in return? or do i have to wait for the next block or something?

thanks!

Hi,
I'm running latest 0.12 version. Miner connects fine and starts mining. Returns first result just fine. Then there is series of:
ERROR 80190191
messages.
Then it continues again, returns result and again:
80190191
80190191
80190191

after a while my account is banned and I have to go through un-bun procedure on http://www.bitcoinpool.com/.

I tried these with the same result:
bitcoin-miner.exe -t 2 -o http://bitcoinpool.com:8332/ -u [user] -p [pass]
bitcoin-miner.exe -t 2 -v -o http://bitcoinpool.com:8332/ -u [user] -p [pass]
bitcoin-miner.exe -t 2 -g no -v -o http://bitcoinpool.com:8332/ -u [user] -p [pass]

[Lightspeed]

hi,

downloaded the exe from ufasofts site and am having difficulty getting it to run (it just crashes on launch)

C:\bitcoin\bitcoin-miner.exe -a 5 -o http://pit.deepbit.net:8332 -u XYZ -p ABC

I got this from deeppit, but am getting the feeling its probably the shortcuts valuves im using that are causing problems

cheers everyone

Is there any changelog/source for Windows version?
Binaries shows v0.12, source for linux is v0.10...

[speculatrix]

greetings fellow miners.

I downloaded bitcoin-miner-0.10 and am building it on debian squeeze.
* I added wheezy repository so as to get gcc 4.5.x and g++ 4.5.x
* I downloaded jwasm-latest and built/installed that to /usr/local/bin and extended my path
* I fixed the .asm files to hard-code the language as C

However, I am now stuck with this error at the final stage of linking

mathx's complie is the only thing that i have been able to run in linux

http://sizone.org/~math/bitcoin/ufa


before i had that build, i ran the windows version in VirtualBox .. works great.


Also why is the Linux version source (mathx's build) v.0.10 while Windows binary is v.0.12 ?

I have a Core2Duo T5500 1,6Ghz running @1Ghz. With the rpc-4way miner I got even worse results (350khash/s/core) than with the generic cpu miner (750khash/s/core). Only the ufasoft SSE2 miner seems to profit from the SSE features. It gets ~1.25 to 1.3Mhash/s/core. I wonder what's wrong with the rpc-4way miner. Unfortunally these are the only ones supportet by guiminer. So i got back to commandline scripts with the ufasoft miner and now get nearly the same performance using only 1 core

The GUI miner has a new release that can run the ufasoft miner.

I think the SSE issue was covered earlier in the thread. I think it has to do with 64 vs 32 bit. I only tried to get it working in 32 bit compile environment. Good luck with 64. See my instrux previously on 32 bit.

Funny, I went through the entire thread and could not find a solution or even an explanation.

Hi everyone,

http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/6340/unledms.jpg

Is it normal for my computer to run at 100% PCU like that? Does mining with CPU using this software ruin my computer?

How do I set up the bitcoin-miner to use say, 80%, or my cpu at most? or 50% for that matter? 

Thanks for any info in advance.

Sean

+1 is that posible?
