[ANNOUNCE] Tenebrix, a CPU-friendly, GPU-hostile cryptocurrency

[kano]

ckolivas won't add features for this

Well, who knows, who knows. 

Yes who would that be

Brief googlespedition suggests that you are not him.

Besides, I think I might spare some BTC for having Tenebrix support in cgminer or a separate tenebrix branch (whichever requires smaller donation, I'm sadly not a millionaire )

LOL no I am not him - I meant in reply to what you said ... OF COURSE

But you ignored what I would suspect for any coin would be the important part of my post ...

Any news on fixing the Linux version?  (see previous page)

OK, I had to fix this my self.
after I ran configure, I edited the Make file:

before:

JANSSON_INCLUDES =
#JANSSON_INCLUDES = -I$(top_srcdir)/compat/jansson

after:

Code:

#JANSSON_INCLUDES =
JANSSON_INCLUDES = -I$(top_srcdir)/compat/jansson

I do suck at them Linux environments hard, but doesn't QT creator / qmake generally need just the pro file to start truckin' ?

I mean, multicoin-qt, the grandfather of Tenebrix, seems to only have the .pro file as well

so has anyone beaten the 2 khash/sec per core barrier yet?

BTW thank you lolcust! You're the most awesome alt chain developer yet!

Calling me developer is flattering and a mite exaggerating, man. I am more of, I dunno, really. A loud guy in the crowd who decided to go and make a coin instead of posting threads about conceptual merits of hypothetical X

For TBX specifically, ArtForz and Multicoin folk deserve 95% of the kudos

Is there a some type of help doc or what ever on how to run this miner in linux?

Thoughts?

Got the client working.  Hard to mine without a miner though.

Does running <minerd --help> in the terminal um, help ?

I managed to get it going but it must have been a flook. I'm running kubuntu.

This is what I did but no difference.
If i start the ./bitcoin-qt at the same time, minerd will crash.
Running minerd alone, nothing happens

I think some people had luck with changing the port number.

Are you telling me that I need the client running when mining or not?
 

[caston]

I have both running and it's working quite well. e.g. when minerd finds blocks I get a notification speech bubble from bitcoin-qt's system tray icon and if I go to all transactions it shows me how many blocks i've mined and when they will mature...it's pretty smooth.. and just as I write this I did two blocks in a row!

[froggy]

Edited - all sorted . After compiling with QT creator in Windows (Vista).  I had to copy over 3 dll files from folders in c:\QtSDK  to the same folder as the exe .

libgcc_s_dw2_1.dll
QtCore4.dll
and
QtGui4.dll

If you need to do the same thing, beware, there are different versions of these files in different foldrs in folders in c:\QtSDK .  I had a prob with one version of QtCore4.dll  for example, giving a message of :

"The procedure entry point _Z21qRegisterResourceDataiPKhS0_S0_ could not be located in the dynamic link library QtCore4.dll
 
You need the version of  QtCore4.dll located in C:\QtSDK\Desktop\Qt\4.7.4\mingw\bin (ie the one which is 2,552,320 bytes  in size.

[Matoking]

Bitcoin-qt requires libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll, libssp-0.dll, mingwm10.dll, QtCore4.dll and QtGUI4.dll, although it may depend on the compiler.

[EskimoBob]

I compiled the miner in my laptop that runs Kubuntu an guess what, result is the same.

Code:

 ./minerd --user 1 --pass 1 --url http://127.0.0.1:8697

miner looks fine, does your client work?

Be nice to have a windows binary.
