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

[3phase]

So I tried my hand at compiling the cpu-miner on Ubuntu 11.10 and ran into a little problem.

I'm a complete Linux noob however I have libcurl installed

Code:

curl 7.21.6 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.21.6 OpenSSL/1.0.0e zlib/1.2.3.4 libidn/1.22 librtmp/2.3

And I created Jansson from the source provided on their website.

Using ./autogen.sh on the cpuminer returns no errors
Using CFLAGS etc works
Make throws a few errors:

Code:

make[2]: Entering directory `/home/darren/Desktop/cpu'
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -pthread -fno-strict-aliasing  @LIBCURL_CPPFLAGS@   -O3 -Wall -msse2 -MT minerd-cpu-miner.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/minerd-cpu-miner.Tpo -c -o minerd-cpu-miner.o `test -f 'cpu-miner.c' || echo './'`cpu-miner.c

You need libcurl4-dev (or any of the packages it suggests)

I'm not entirely sure what this means, if someone could help I'd appreciate it.

I think also libssl-dev.

I think also libssl-dev.

No, this is only required (along with some other stuff) for compiling the *coin client.

Ah ok right. But better to have it written here somewhere in the thread just in case someone looks for it

What I remember / wrote:

I finally got minerd compiled (ArtForz version)...

First I did an " sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev" but I couldn't find the libcurl.so file.
After a search I found it was in /usr/lib

I changed both the @LIBCURL lines in makefile to /usr/lib/libcurl.so

Then I did "make"  and suddenly I had " minerd"   


Another noob question:

How do I make a " batch"  file so I don't have to enter all the commands for minerd, every time I want to run it?
In DOS / Windows I know all this shit but in Linux? Learning...

Hashrate on my 1055T (@3.2Ghz) = 3.37 khash/s (x6 cores)

[Intention]

So I took a look for the libcurl file and found it in /usr/lib/libcurl.so.

I opened up the Makefile and replaced the two @LIBCURL@ and @LIBCURL_CPPFLAGS@ on the next line to both /usr/lib/libcurl.so however I'm still throwing up the same error.

Try replacing them with -lcurl

Little bit more success, close but no cigar.
In the Makefile:

Code:

minerd_LDADD = -lcurl
minerd_CPPFLAGS = -lcurl

(Lines 240/241?)

I end up getting when I use make

I wonder if I'm perpetually doomed for failure, in the mean time I found a precompiled one but it would be nice to know how to get these things going myself -_-

[Remember remember the 5th of November]

Are you sure you installed libcurl?

[rTech]

Top Secret material, short video of LoLcUst inventing Tenebrix,
its captured moment when he got it to work properly. Nice job!

Wow TBX is low at http://www.btc-e.com

Already moving some BTC over there to buy cheap

Will you use the "GG lowest buy+profit strategy"?

Well got slightly further and going very crazy in the process, make now gives:

1) PoW will be updated as hardware grows bigger...cache.

2) The point is not to make implementation of hardware-accelerated solution impossible (You can implement TBX miner in OpenCL, ArtForz already tested it, see the "Tenebrix scaling questions" thread), but to make it uneconomical (If your wonderful hardware-cruncher costs 700$ and only marginally outperforms a cpu  which costs $100, you loose the race)

Scrypt was specifically designed to be uneconomical and painful in GPU and FPGA and, amazingly, it really is

Sorry, I am not native English. What they mean here words "PoW" and "Scrypt" (not "script") ?

PoW - Proof of Work
Scrypt - The cryptographic algorithm that powers Tenebrix.

Scrypt is a type of cryptography. And in this context, PoW means Proof of Work (more commonly though, it means Prisoner of War, like a soldier that is captured by the enemy during an attack).

[johnj]

Anyone heard from Lolcust?  He still workin on that laundry?

[wknight]

I am sure if TBX grows Lolcust is still working on the laundry

[racerguy]

he's still in #tenebrix so i'm sure he's still working on the laundry and messaging service.
