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

Is this the same miner?
Can't run it on Rapsberry Pi3.

I forked Bitcoin source to run my own network.. everything is working. I'm using Cpuminer to mine blocks... I had to change the script 'first letter' base because i changed the address first letter, but other than that it works fine.

The miner isn't adding any transactions to blocks. The transactions are in the mempool, but the miner isn't adding any of them. I've played with the transaction fees. Anyone else have this issue? I thought to ask. i didn't see anything in the history about this, and looking at the cpuminer code,there doesn't seem to be anything for me to update. Any advice would be welcome... this project is teaching me bitcoin development, so I'm learning as I go.

Does this miner work with a Raspberry Pi 4 modell B? I want to mine Litecoin for a graduation project for the school and i have used the fork of tpruvot, but somehow it doesn't work. So i want to try this one.

no i do not think so it will work with raspberry pi
as the binaries are only available for x86 and x64 arch and not for arm arch which is pi

As far as i know, https://github.com/tpruvot/cpuminer-multi, it the main one.

I found this https://github.com/afritzler/cpuminer-arm, but have never used it, so don't know if its safe.

I have used this in the past on Pi3, ti mine XMG. Not sure if it covers scrypt, but i seem to remember it does various algos

Another article to read.

Good luck
(oh take note of OS to use, i think that is the most critical part - pretty sure i ended up using mint and ubuntu rather than raspian)

Coming to the party VERY late.

Sorry.

I downloaded https://github.com/pooler/cpuminer/releases/download/v2.5.0/pooler-cpuminer-2.5.0-win64.zip for Win 10 64-bit.
Is CPUMiner.exe no longer included in the pre-built package?

I am comfortable using "command.com", nee cmd.exe... and very comfortable with commandline everything... just checking.

If there is a pretty gui module somewhere, I'd sorta like to have it in the binary package too but I'm cool using just the daemon.

I'll also pop back to the top of the thread and see about stratus stuff. If it's on the command line coolio... but if it has to be in a config file that the daemon looks for or creates and then I edit the config file... I use NoptePad++ for most of my data/coding/scripting. Yes, I am a dinosaur. Any .bas / .cob / .bat programmers out there who used PC-DOS 2.0? I also used cygwin, Z/nix, Unix, and more versions of Linux (and more shells) than I should be allowed to admit. also did a whole $#!+ ton of web stuff and server-side scripting... yes, including various decryption on files then encryption before returning files back to the client... all from inside csh/ksh/bash scripts.  

In the latest vernacular, I'm an experienced "data scientist" of 44y with major admin and web admin skills, in case you or someone you know is/are looking for one.

I saw MinGW instructions. I installed cygwin, not sure that I installed MinGW on this box.

Looks like I did enabled PMs and emails after all.

Peace!

About 10 years late.

This miner is obsolete and has been for about that long. It was awesome in its time but its time is gone.
It only mines sha2d and scrypt.

Mining anything with a single ARM CPU is futile. A cluster, maybe, but that gets really complicated.

ARM miner software is poor as there is little interest from good developpers due to the futility previously
mentioned. TPruvot has a multi algo miner that supports ARM but it hasn't been updated in about a year.

If you want to learn about mining just use your regular PC's CPU or GPU with a wide choice of excellent
up to date mining software.

Mining on a Pi is just child's play, but it makes a good wallet host.

[knolixman65]

Joblo,

There are many pool servers for many coins that use scrypt.

minerd mines altcoins through scrypt... so respectfully I'm NOT "10 years too late".
I was actually led to minerd because it mines Litecoin and ethereum natively... and both ethereum and litecoin is almost as popular as Bitcoin.
So "10 years late" should really be rephrased slightly... respectfully.

Politely, I request that if you know of another miner as strong and as current that supports mining through stratum with scrypt... please list the tools which you use and explain why your tools are better. Unfortunately, I prefer a CPU miner that can also run as a daemon from the command line. js

I just with that there was a GUI to supply parameters to minerd and start/stop minerd from a control gui (or a controller that used ANSI color, in order to maintain the level of tight control... maybe to create profiles and schedule the saved profiles to run at required times of the day).
 
Peace.

How about showing me the respect of reading my post before going passive-aggressive and asking
the questions I already answered? I counted 3.

1. Pooler can't mine ethereum, only sha256d and scrypt.

2. CPUs aren't "strong" enough to mine litecoin anymore, Ten years ago you could so you're ten years
too late.

3. I mentioned a good CPU miner and you also completely ignored the one in my sig.

As for your other questions, do you're own research.

I feel like listening to some Aretha Franklin.

Hello Pooler,

I'm not sure you read this thread anymore but you should know your scrypt CPU code is getting some
good use due to Verium which uses N = 1024**2 making it exclusive to CPU mining only.

It's currently optimized up to AVX2 but AVX512 is now available. Unfortunately I don't have
the ASM skills necessary or the understanding of your code to attempt promoting it to AVX512.

There's a big team behind Verium, they may welcome the opprtunity for a more efficient miner.

The executable in the package is minerd.exe, not cpuminer.exe.

Hello. I'm looking to rent a lot of CPU power. Those who mines xmr can increase earnings by 50-60%. I'm looking for high scale rent only.

In case you know some big xmr miner, i can include your fee.

No scam, all legit, I will pay in advance.

so it's working here

but on nicehash rig management it doesn't accept any hash speed or anything and everything is zero except the difficulty number
I'm I mining ? I been running the process for 2 days and I don't know if I'm mining

Oh dear, technically you are mining but realistically you aren't. To mine sha256 you need PH/s but you only have kH/s.
Divide the estimated profitability by 1 000 000 000 000 to see what you can expect with your CPU. You need an ASIC miner
for sha256.

[spilk76]

I thought it's better
I have 0.63 khash/s with scrypt algorithm
if I keep mining with this hashes speeds will I make any bitcoin

Hello.
I'm asked on the different forums but no answer. Maybe here?

There in cgminer(based on cpuminer) exist such code:

static uint8_t diff_to_bits(double diff)
{
   uint64_t diff64;
   uint8_t i;

   diff /= 0.9999847412109375;
   diff *= (double)2147483648.0;
   if (diff > 0x8000000000000000ULL)
      diff = 0x8000000000000000ULL;
   /* Convert it to an integer */
   diff64 = diff;
   for (i = 0; diff64; i++, diff64 >>= 1);

   return i;
}

static double bits_to_diff(uint8_t bits)
{
   double ret = 1.0;

   if (likely(bits > 32))
      ret *= 1ull << (bits - 32);
   else if (unlikely(bits < 32))
      ret /= 1ull << (32 - bits);
   return ret;
}

How to adapt this code for scrypt to calculate diff to bits and vice versa?

Thanks!

Please ask if there is a proxy function

I've tried to used cpuminer to mine Scrypt algorithm before but until this day I still can't configure or make it work, after many tutors through reddit it's still not working, can someone drop me the full configuration here ? I will appreciate
