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

[socket]

Pooler... or anybody who might know.

Has anybody tested --proxy?  I've got a dynamic socks proxy setup (ssh -ND yadayada)... tested it as working with Firefox and stratum-mining-proxy.  But when I point minerd at it with --proxy socks5://blahblah it times out:

Code:

[root@localhost ~]# ./minerd -o poolnamehere:3332 -u user.x -p 12345 -x socks5://socksIPhere:1080 -D
[2013-12-09 10:40:55] Binding thread 0 to cpu 0
[2013-12-09 10:40:55] Binding thread 1 to cpu 1
[2013-12-09 10:40:55] Binding thread 2 to cpu 2
[2013-12-09 10:40:55] 4 miner threads started, using 'scrypt' algorithm.
[2013-12-09 10:40:55] Binding thread 3 to cpu 3
[2013-12-09 10:41:06] HTTP request failed:
[2013-12-09 10:41:06] json_rpc_call failed, retry after 30 seconds

Again pointing Firefox at the same proxy allows access to the outside world.  Here is ssh debug output... seems like it's not liking something:

Code:

debug1: channel 1: new [dynamic-tcpip]
debug2: channel 1: pre_dynamic: have 0
debug2: channel 1: pre_dynamic: have 3
debug2: channel 1: decode socks5
debug2: channel 1: socks5 auth done
debug2: channel 1: pre_dynamic: need more
debug2: channel 1: pre_dynamic: have 0
debug2: channel 1: read<=0 rfd 5 len 0
debug2: channel 1: not open
debug2: channel 1: zombie
debug2: channel 1: garbage collecting
debug1: channel 1: free: dynamic-tcpip, nchannels 2

Any ideas?

Has anybody tested --proxy?  I've got a dynamic socks proxy setup (ssh -ND yadayada)... tested it as working with Firefox and stratum-mining-proxy.  But when I point minerd at it with --proxy socks5://blahblah it times out:

I've just tested it with three different SOCKS proxies (a public proxy, Tor and SSH) and it seems to be working fine. Have you made sure that in the argument to the --url/-o option the protocol prefix matches the type of server (Stratum or HTTP)?

Crap... I think that's it.  Let me check. :p

Thanks pooler.  That's helpful, but I'm still having timeouts.  I think it's something client side.  But, I'm having issues verifying that at the moment.  I'm going to work on it some more later. But, it's helpful to know it's working for you and not broke.

[The00Dustin]

The latest version of stratum-mining-proxy will also accept stratum connections.  What about trying it through the proxy in order to confirm whether or not the timeouts are related to the software's proxy features?

I didn't realize that.  I've seen so many versions of it floating around and the last one updated for scrypt is over a year old.  Do you happen to have a link?

Does this count?

I'm not sure where I got that, but I think it will scrypt and stratum, and you can git clone from it.

[socket]

Thanks The00Dustin!  I tried stratum against my mining proxy and it does indeed work (no updated needed).

I figured out my problem pooler, but it still leaves me in a bit of a quandary.

It works if I use the pools IP.  DNS seems to be the the issue here.. though I'm not sure why. It's not cpuminers fault at all... firefox does it locally on the system too (even with network.proxy.socks_remote_dns set to true).  It's an old server (rhel 6.1) I'm using ssh on to do the dynamic forwarding.  Next step is to spin up a RHEL 6.5 system and see if it acts differently at all.

The prefix socks5h:// is intended for remote name resolving. socks5:// should resolve locally.

[allwelder]

Pooler,
Could you help to give me some instruction for the minning.
Now I have updated the wallet,and register and set up in http://doge.scryptpools.com/
And I have download the CGMiner Windows,but when started,it display failed.
What should I do ?
Thanks.

[dark143i]

New problem. The mining automatically stops. I mean I run. It shows active in Workers page. However after approx 30 minutes. The worker becomes inactive. I tried waiting for it to become active however Its still inactive and I had to rerun it.

I am using Centos.

[shinjikenny123]

could anyone generate sha1 hash for pooler-cpuminer-2.3.2-win64.zip just to make sure its still the real file

Yup that did it (silly me.. not sure why that didn't occur to me).  Thanks again pooler!

[scarface]

any settings i can use to raise my hashes on my amd phenom ii x4 965

im only getting 25 khash/s using scrypt (about 5 per core)

[mindrust]

i couldnt get my worker working please help.

Ok so this is the third day I've been trying to get this running. No luck. I am using Ubuntu 13.10 and I've been using a lot of tuts from here to try to install it. No luck. Last one I've used was from this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=200147.0 it gave me errors at ./autogen.sh telling me it doesn't exist. Is there some complete tutorial on how to install it. I can configure it later for different pools that is easy.

Why don't you just download the binaries from the first post for Linux.  There's a 32bit and 64bit one.  I have the 64bit running on my Lubuntu and Xubuntu workstations now from those binaries.

Because only line script is available to me. True it would be a lot easier that way if I could just use the binaries, but I can't. Can't believe there no tut that works around here.

Wait, so you're trying to run cpuminer on an Ubuntu server/station that you don't have permissions to wget and execute binaries but you do have permissions to compile?  Not quite seeing why you can't use wget to download the binaries from the shell.

I have permission to wget. It just doesn't ever do it to the end like it should. Tired several tutorials but none would work.

Hello all,

I'm not sure whether this is a server side problem or not. Pool: stratum+tcp://sexcoin.ecoining.com:3334

While current pre-compiled cpuminer returns this,

Code:

[2013-12-14 18:35:22] Starting Stratum on stratum+tcp://sexcoin.ecoining.com:3334/
[2013-12-14 18:35:22] 6 miner threads started, using 'scrypt' algorithm.
[2013-12-14 18:35:22] Stratum authentication failed
[2013-12-14 18:35:22] ...retry after 30 seconds

I compiled this fork build suggested by the pool runner - https://github.com/Hartland/GPL-CPU-Miner/

And I get this instead:

./minerd -a scrypt -o stratum+tcp://sexcoin.ecoining.com:3334/ -u XXXX -p XXXX -t6

Code:

[2013-12-14 18:18:26][2013-12-14 18:18:26] 6 miner threads started, using 'scrypt' algorithm.
[2013-12-14 18:18:26] Starting Stratum on stratum+tcp://sexcoin.ecoining.com:3334/
[2013-12-14 18:18:26] stratum_recv_line failed
[2013-12-14 18:18:26] ...retry after 30 seconds
[2013-12-14 18:18:57] stratum_recv_line failed
[2013-12-14 18:18:57] ...retry after 30 seconds

Pool problem? Parameters problem? I haven't found answers so far, thank you in advance for any assistance.

What exactly are you seeing when you try to wget the binaries? We may be able to help diagnose.

Apparently sexcoin pools are being DDOS'ed. See the sexcoin thread.

This is the last tutorial I tried:

git clone https://github.com/ali1234/cpuminer

cd cpuminer

./autogen.sh

./configure CFLAGS="-O3"

make

make install

It failed when I entered ./autogen.sh simply said it didn't exist. Tried some others before that and every time there would be some file missing that I didn't know how to get. I know hot to install git.
