[Datacoin] External miner released!

[mpjetta]

I have been testing 5 or 6 linux machines pointed at a linux wallet and no crashes yet (only been about an hour).

I am seeing 0 Total/Valid shares from all miners though:

Val/h 0.000 - PPS: 65514 - 4ch: 15298.6 - 5ch: 1264.9 - 6ch: 114.7 - SPS:85.086 - ACC:683
Val/h 0.000 - PPS: 66914 - 4ch: 15309.3 - 5ch: 1266.9 - 6ch: 115.6 - SPS:86.998 - ACC:696
===============================================================
---- New Block: 98915 - Diff: 9.762668 / 9.762668
---- Total/Valid shares: [ 0 / 0 ]  -  Max diff: 8.21370
----  6-chain count:   72 -  6ch/h: 115.387
----  7-chain count:    8 -  7ch/h:  12.821
----  8-chain count:    1 -  8ch/h:   1.603
----  9-chain count:    0 -  9ch/h:   0.000
---- 10-chain count:    0 - 10ch/h:   0.000
===============================================================


Does that mean that something is wrong or is that just a pool type stat/protocol that doesn't exist yet?

From what I gather, there is no way to see the total hashing power going through a wallet is there?

@mpjetta:

Remember its solo mining, valid share = block found :-)

@mumus:

I've found temporary fix for qt-wallet not closing connections, should work without crash at least longer.
Add rpcthreads=1024 in .conf file.

Tips are welcome :-P

[zdbtc1]

I've had my rpcthreads=64 and haven't had any crashes. I've had multiple 9-chains as well. How often should a 9-chain actually end up in a mined block? Or does that even matter?

[grulag]

anyway to set the number of threads? like -t 4?

[mpjetta]

anyway to set the number of threads? like -t 4?

Yeah, it seems to be -t

Usage: jhPrimeminer.exe [options]
Performance Options:
  -t <num>                       The number of threads for mining (default = detected cpu cores)
                                 For most efficient mining, set to number of CPU cores

Thanks to everyone for helping me out and thank you mumus for putting in the work on these miners.

Mining 5 hours 10 mins on a quad core x64 machine.
254 x 6ch
24 x 7ch
2 x 8ch
0 x Valid Blocks

I can feeeeel a block coming.

This coin is just begging for a pool!

@mumus & all good people who want to test it:

I just compiled mpir.dll from sources for core2 and nehalem + avx optimized.
Tried to benchmark it few minutes, avx version seems to be even faster than last added to mumus build.

Here is the link to my skydrive:

Gl & hf with more shares :-D

I compiled the same one, but it wasn't as fast as the Sandy Bridge mpir on my 4770k

我根据你说的做了
I do according to your said

I don't know how to compile it. Can somebody post a version for windows x64? THX a lot!!!

Here is the version I am using. It is compiled for x64-AVX processors. I have mined 3 blocks so far using this. If anyone wants the source I can create a repo and post it. The only changes I made are the ones I posted above and some stat output formatting changes.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/20044454/DatacoinMiner.zip

thx! Did I need to write something in the datacoin.conf?

These are the settings you need in datacoin.conf to be able to connect the miner to your wallet.

server=1
rpcallowip=*(or whatever IP the miners will be connecting from)
rpcport=<port> (whatever port you choose to open for the miners to connect to your wallet)
rpcuser=<username> (whatever username you want)
rpcpassword=<password> (whatever password you want)

Example:
server=1
rpcallowip=*
rpcport=4778
rpcuser=DatacoinMiner
rpcpassword=MinerPassword

Then you can connect the miner to your wallet using "DatacoinMiner.exe -o http://localhost:4778 -u DatacoinMiner -p MinerPassword"


*Edit: I am using rpcport 9199 on my own miners.

I'm completely new to using miners like this and having to set it up with the conf file. I tried reading through this topic a few times, and using the settings MrMagic posted, but it's not starting up; the miner just instantly opens then closes.

Is there an idiot proof newbie guide on how to set up the conf file to make it connect with the jhPrimeminer?   

[MrMagic]

@KovaFchina I am unable to view the pictures you posted. I assume you are having problems, but I cannot tell what.

@ahnonamis Usually when that happens it is a problem with the command line input. I assume you are trying to start the miner using a batch file since you said it opens and closes instantly. You can view why the miner is closing by open a command prompt and change directories to the one where your batch file is at and running the batch from the command prompt. You should see the error output.

Add pause in next line in your .bat file - you will see errors, as that window wont close.

I've compiled linux version on 16-core Xeon. Well, it works fast, new shares coming at light speed :-D
But when it found 9-chain share it crashed server-wallet on other Windows machine :-P No reward.

How to compile miner on linux? (ubuntu 13) Thank you.

Well,
1) download source
2) cd jhPrimeminer-mumu-v8
3) make
4) jhprimeminer will show in directory where Makefile is.

voila :-p

For better results try to make mpir lib from source with gmp compat (at least it worked for me that way)

Oops) i think you compile this source https://github.com/hg5fm/jhPrimeminer
ok thank you.

what need to do ?(for noob)

[Gontxi]

Code:

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

...
And now? lol... Someone with same problem?

[MarcusDe]

@Hix:
 
This is linux version: https://github.com/tandyuk/jhPrimeminer/tree/mumu-v8

Download mpir from official website, unpack;

Code:

./configure --enable-gmpcompat
make 
make install

[grulag]

been mining for around 24 hours with no blocks yet.

icore i7 4770 8  cores with hyperthreading


how is anyone else doing?


I don't have a coin yet, if someone wants to donate one to me, be much grateful.
