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

[Lolcust]

Be nice to have a windows binary.

It's right in the first post, man

Q: Where are the windows binaries ? <<<<<<<

A: Here, with neato QT GUI and wrapped in a portability suite so that you don't have to set anything up and have easier time backing stuff up

miner looks fine, does your client work?

I got the client compiled in my kubuntu laptop and as expected, miner started to work.

But I can not run miner and client at the same time in my Gentoo box

Eh, guess I should eventually figure out how to do a somewhat decent static build for them Linuxes, so that a lot of this will be cut out.

Did you try changing the rpcport in config ?

From the look of it, the miner seems just pointed someplace else. Did you try passing username and password as --userpass 1:1 ?

Nooooo! Don't build binar blobs for Linux Fix the code so it can be compiled

yes I did, no difference at all.

Did you try passing username and password as --userpass 1:1

Yes I did, It still segfaults. I pasted the strace output here: http://pastebin.com/EsWKSsJ4

It obviously can be compiled, and was compiled and tested, for Windows XP, W 7 64, Ubuntu LTS and Fedora ^__^

Binary blobs, when done right, have their merits (doin them right is somewhat outside my league tho)

I'll see what I can do, but that would require me to set up a Gentoo VM.

Thanks, I'll see what can be done

I get the same SIGSEGV strace that eskimo gets. Where is the headless build for linux? I do the build, and only get a bitcoin-qt exe. This is a remote box, and I'm not going to install x server on this box.Am I missing the headless build? In the windows binaries, there is a d version but I don't see it after I make the git repo.

I set up a windows box, and set up an RPC server. Tested from another windows machine, no problems. When I connect the miner to it, it fails. If the username and password are wrong, it binds, and never works. But if I supply valid credentials, it segfaults. This is ubuntu 11.04 32 bit. Running the miner with sudo

Can you please give some more info on the difficulty adjustment?
Retarget is every 1 week. Is it entirely timebased?
How can I check current difficulty when using the gui?

[ArtForz]

It's 2016 blocks with *4 /4 limits like bitcoin, just with 5 min nominal/block.
Min difficulty is 1/4096 to account for scrypt(N=1024,p=1,r=1) being well over a factor 1000 slower than sha256(sha256()).
There's no cmdline daemon yet, porting the multicoin-qt->tenebrix changes to multicoin should be pretty trivial.

Gah.  I even downloaded it an hour before posting thing.
Braindead this morning, sorry.

Please, do not do that!

[Bobnova]

Mining away happily!
Definitely the easiest solo mining setup experience I've run into, on windows at least.
In linux it still doesn't work, but that's a different story.

[wannaBhacker]

... Running the miner with sudo

Not what I normally do but making sure it has all the permission it needs to run. I think there is a problem with the linux miner. Does anyone successfully have the linux miner working? I now have the GUI working in linux, but the miner still fails an an ubuntu desktop install now.

I have it running on my Kubuntu laptop but can not get the miner work in Gentoo. Client works fine and even mines some coin but this is obviously not the way to go. Miner compiles OK, but crashes if client is running at the same port.

Getting 0 connections...
Any ports I should open? Nodes to add?

No connection problems with 5 other coins...

edit: Looks like the same problem I had with GeistGeld -> IRC recv failed: 10060
We solved it than by adding nodes, what IP's can I try?

Thanx for the great support, again

Hey Lolcust,

Can I use my APU to mine? or is the network hostile to that also?

[steelhouse]

What does it mean when it says boo or yay sometimes?  When I get a yay, it shows up as a transaction, but not necessarily as 25 TBX?  I really appreciate the quietness of mining. 

I have a question so the difficulty changes every week, is that time based or block based?

how many coin will there be in existence?  I guess you can stop the block and change it at will?

Well, there are no APU-optimized miners of course, but it is an interesting question to ponder, APUs are interesting and exotic beasts....could be good Tenebrix performers (the future is APU farms lol )

I think it counts near-solutions and orphans as transactions, looking into it.

Same as BTC, but faster.

how many coin will there be in existence?

no limit, except for natural balance of generation / loss that will be achieved at some point.

Ha-ha, that's the other coin's prerogative.

APU = CPU with GPU onboard.
If it sucks for GPU, it sucks for the GPU portion of the APU.  The CPU portion will run it like the Phenom II cores that it's built out of. (which is to say, pretty well)

AMD's new APU stuff isn't really that new, it's just wildly more powerful of a GPU than previous IGP solutions.
