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

[LoWang]

wow and now I see it got to 38kh/s I wonder how could it fluctuate that much. It is also interesting that on Win XP 32 it barely makes 7kh/s on the same hardware.

[rTech]

With latest x64 win version i get aprox 15.10 khash. So my bitcoin paid Pentium e6600 (3.06ghz) @ 3510mhz really rocks (thanks for selling it to me coretechs)

How do I modify the .BAT files to allow me to mine solo?

I know it's port 9332, but what should I put for the url, username, and userpass?

You should use the values of "rpcuser" and "rpcpassword" from your litecoin.conf file.
For the URL you should use the IP of the machine that is running the Litecoin daemon/client; if everything is on one machine, the default value (http://127.0.0.1:9332/) should do.

Where's the litecoin.conf file?  Do I have to create this?  I've been pool-mining just fine.

Do I see any information in the daemon or gui client regarding my connected miners when solo mining? I guess there is nothing to be seen but the increasing balance of LTC if I am lucky and my miners find a block right? What does this "unconfirmed" mean anyway? I have some LTC in a pool and did not cash out yet because I am thinking about some good wallet security practice...

No luck so far...

I created the litecoin.conf file and I changed only the rpcuser and rpcpassword values.  Then, I edited one of my .BAT files and tried both my own IP address and http://127.0.0.1:9332/ as the URL, and I switched the user and password values to match the ones in the .conf file.

I tried to open the BAT file to run the miner (with Litecoin-QT open) and it says "HTTP request failed: couldn't connect to host" and "json_rpc_call failed, retry after 30 seconds."

I'm not sure what I'm missing here.  Any ideas?

Edit:  Well, I think I fixed it.  I'm actually not 100% sure how I fixed it.  I think what happened is I was editing some of the files (the .bat, the .conf) but I didn't restart Litecoin-QT after making changes to these files.  When I restarted Litecoin-QT, it allowed me to connect to the host.  Sweet  Let's see if I can repeat the process on my other computer with similar results.
  
Edit 2:  55 k/hash chuggin' away     I hope I have the same luck flying solo as I did in the pool.  I've only pooled in about 50 LTC but I solved 4 blocks already.

YES !! with this password and rpcallowip=* anyone can make transactions with your wallet. can steal your coins.

Version 2.1.4

• ~2% speed increase for 64-bit systems (excluding K8-based CPU's, i.e. Athlon 64's and older Opterons).
• Support for SOCKS 4/5 proxies via the new --proxy option (see README file).
• Username and password are no longer mandatory (I'm sure p2pool users will appreciate this).
• Support for building on Mac OS X (see README file).

The source code is, as always, available at GitHub. Binaries will be available soon available here.

Just about to test it on my fx8150, (gota compile for win64 first)
Any use for the instruction sets that the fx8150 has?

(MMX, SSE 1 2 3 3S 4.1 4.2 4A, amd-v, aes, avx, xop ?

try my branch out til pooler implement it with assembler
compile with avx, please report results aswell

https://github.com/shakt1/cpuminer

you need gcc >=4.6 for best results
CFLAGS="-O3 -mavx <and try other on your wish>" ./configure

Went from 18.1-18.4kHash/s to 18.9kHash/s on my Phenom ii x4 at 3 threads, good job!

Edit:

Overclocked my x4 955 to 3.8GHz and ran on 4 threads, reaching 27khash/s. Holy shit!

[tgmarks]

solid improvement, gained a couple more tenths of khash/s on each machine

Hi pooler,

as discussed in IRC yesterday I've managed to compile your miner on a SPARC box (running Solaris 10). Actually there was only minor problem for which I created a PULL request.

Two additionals hints when using the GCC 3.4.3 (/usr/sfw/bin/gcc) shipped with Solaris:
When using this compiler you must add "-std=gnu99" to you CFLAGS otherwise <stdbool.h> cannot be included. Second the preprocessor will choke on the *.S files as it does not recognize the copyright statement as comments. Either remove lines 1-23 or comment them out explicitly ("/* ...*/").
These two issues did not occur when using a custom GCC 4.4.4 with CFLAGS="-mcpu=v9 -m64 -O3".

Btw, the 64bit binary is slightly slower then the 32bit one (0.48 vs. 0.51 KH/s per Thread on a SPARC64-VII).
Edit: Bullshit. Tested with the wrong binary. 64bit is almost at double speed (0.98 vs. 0.51 KH/s).

Code:
