An (even more) optimized version of cpuminer (pooler's cpuminer, CPU-only)

[superbit]

I am trying to get this to work with tag coin.  I type this after the executable but I get errors.  What am I doing wrong?

--scrypt -o stratum+tcp://tagmining.com:3333 -u Weblogin.Worker -p Worker password


I assume that is because these instructions are for the cpgminer, what do I need to change?  Thanks.

Thanks, I typed that in and I get this now:

1.)  I assume this means it is working correctly, I can see this working online now.  Is there anyway to add that to the exe file so that when I double click it it just runs with those settings?

2.) Is there anyway to have it run in the background, I have a million spreadsheets open at once and I keep closing the minimized window by accident.

Thanks,

Step by step for dummies.  Thought based on some reading probably not a good idea to mine on my latptop anyway.  Still handy for the couple desktops we have in the office.

Hey does someone know how to add this to the McAfee trusted programs, I have already used this in some computers but I have one with McAfee that i can't get the program to work!! Any idea rather than unistall McAfee

Just want to say thank you for making this guide! it saved my life xD

What scrypt coins are supported by this miner other than LTC and FTC?

Maybe these ones that seem to be LTC clones according to http://majesti.co/cryptonerd/coins/

WDC Worldcoin
PXC PhenixCoin
IFC Infinitecoin
BBQCoin
BitBar
Digitalcoin
FRK Franko
NBL Nibble
FST Fastcoin
GLD Goldcoin
KGC Krugercoin
....
...

except Novacoin because it uses scrypt but with a different proof-of-work? From that page i read
-NVC NovaCoin- Scrypt hashing[like LTC], proof of stake [like PPC]
So i think cpuminer will not mine that, it needs its own client

Thanks guys, you've saved me a ton of grief... just could not get minerd to run... now I can 

Really appreciate your help.

[paulus51]

well i am wonder how does this look to you ?

[OleOle]

well i am wonder how does this look to you ?

Well, I'm no expert, far from it, but that looks fine to me... looks exactly how my cpuminer runs, so if your hashing is registering at your pool, that's you up and running I'd say.

[paulus51]

well thanks for your awnser it looks like this in my account :

just started miner :

     share                       Score     Last share at             Mhash/s*
       3                          6.6370     1 minute                 33.123


its not mega but works wel .......[ i think   ]

4 cores all at work at 100%
temp about 69/70 degrees ! steady

using minerd.exe  7/10/2013 : 5:0pm 368kb size


are there any extra flags for CPU ?  Intell Quadcore Q6600 now runs on 2400mhz

i see here hardware comparison
at intel quadcore Q6600 some extraflags but can i use it with minerd.exe ?

        CPU                       Software                 extra flags
Quadcore Q6600     bitcoin-miner 0.10        -a 60 -g no -t 4   : these extra flags are special for this CPU !

[senseless]

Has anyone tried to compile this for 64bit?

I compiled it for 32bit (windows) without issue and the binary works normally. When I try to compile for 64bit (windows) it compiles fine, but the binary crashes with an error messages of "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)."

Any ideas?

..

Got it, my dlls weren't correct. Make sure you're using the correct dlls if you try to compile 64bit.

virus!

Please read the FAQ before posting questions.

are there any extra flags for CPU ?

Q: Is there any command-line option I can play with to make it mine faster?
A: No. The miner automatically picks the best settings for the CPU it is run on.

virus!

Q: My antivirus flags the Windows binary as malware.
A: That's a known false positive. More information here.

Tsk tsk.

Please help!

I want to mine Betacoins with CPU for http://bet.ispace.co.uk/ with Azure Ubuntu 12.04lts Virtual machines.
What is the whole command to write for these Virtual machines when SSH:ing them with putty?

It's something like: "sudo add-apt..."

hmm i just downloaded this to try on my laptop while i sit here in afghanistan waiting to go home at the end of the month, and when i tried to start it the dos window pops up on my laptop, doing its thing and then i get an error

HTTP request failed: failed connect to 127.0.0.1:9332; no error
json_rpc_call failed, retry after 30 seconds

and it just keeps repeting that over and over

I can't seem to make this work for alternatepool.com .

Point Your Miner To:
stratum+tcp://miner.alternatepool.com:3333
Username: <Your BTC Address>

Code:

cpuminer -o stratum+tcp://miner.alternatepool.com:3333 -u 1ABGZH6oWW6QbkPG4JEajC2q2bFMaJAhci -p x

Here is my output:

Code:

btw, I have this working fine on multipool.us

[paulus51]

hmm

i notice some strange things with this version :

i wanted to search for the newest dll's for this miner this is what i have found out :



pakage include :


name file :   pooler-cpuminer-2.3.2-win64.zip

includes :  [1] minerd.exe         --->  is 64bit version  
                [2] libcurl.dll            --->  is 64bit version [ newer version downloaded ]
                [3] pthreadGC2.dll    --->  "pthreadGC2.dll" (for 32-bit programs) or "pthreadGC2_64.dll" (for 64-bit programs)
                [4] zlib1.dll              --->  is 64bit version [ newer version downloaded ]


can you profide me the newest phtreadGC2XXX  for 64bit file please ??
