I found a block!!

I have about 500kh/s but 200kh/s of that is not 24/7.

woohoo! 

[Spekulatius]

Blockchain-based hash: unlike Bytecoin PoW hash, which works on 2MB scratchpad and takes avr 400 ms, new hash will work on blockchain random data to provide operation speed. It gives faster synchronization with network and immunity from DoS attacks.

So how usefull is that innovation really and how vulnerable is it in comparison to traditional approaches? Cant the supposedly random data from the blockchain be precalculated because, well its already there and not changing much with every new block?

Im no techie, so pls have mercy on me

With traditional approach, increasing scratchpad leads to increasing time for hash calculation, since hash have to cover all scratchpad memory, to avoid precalculations. Slow PoW hash can lead to pretty big amount of problems, such as weastimg resources with calculating fake PoW, long synchronization, e.t.c. At the other hand, even pretty big fixed scratchpad (2mb for example) doesn't grant that hardware will not move to this area(remember litecoin, they was counted on it, but now they explaining that ASICs is not so bad).

Research of other PoW approaches, based on asymmetric memory consuming algorithms (ethereum dagger, Cuckoo Cycle) showed me that there always some risk that algorithm could be reinvented and PoW may become unsuitable(for ex reinvented algo may request few memory).

I've just tried to make a step back and look for another way, i want to have one hash operation fast and strong, but i want to have mining process memory hard, because it seems to be great protection from ASIC.

I chose scratchpad memory increasing speed that gives enough protection(and even with extra margin for future) but at the same time make able to implement SPV client or mobile version without any problems.
It's pretty new approach as i know, well, we'll see how things go.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Thx, so I probably got it wrong, but how random is the blockchain data? How is it used in the hash algo?

Would someone help me compile? I am Ubuntu 14.04 64bit, Fresh install. I get no errors until make. Then I get:

I am folowing the instructions from here -> http://boolberry.com/howto.html

My guess is you don't have enough memory, try adding a swap

[eddywise]

DEV,I had a problem
I have some E3 cpus,the hashrate at 270K/S in windows 7 and 360K/S in ubuntu 13.10
but in the win 7 PXE(one server with PXE some client without harddisk) I got only 100K/S using 8 threads of my E3 1230V2
anything wrong?

[sixteendigits]

and 3 threads on the i5-3570k on my desktop.

Why not 4?

It's my daily use desktop, leaving a thread free so it doesn't slow me down.

Mining is faster on Linux than on Windows for cryptonote coins. I think Boolberry is the same (even thought it uses a different algo).

I believe crypto_zoidberg introduced some optimizations for AVX/AES that server CPUs usually do not have. Someone ellse mentioned this issue earlier. Crypto_ziodberg would have to answer in order to be certain.

Good call. I tried with swap but got same error. I will setup a VM on my desktop with more RAM (4GB).

Did you use "make -j" as in the instructions? It means make does not limit number of simultaneous jobs (g++/gcc/etc).
Try doing just "make", or "make -j2".

[digicoin]

Guys,

Should we set up a chat room in freenode.com? It would help community building a lot.

"make" alone work all the time.
Also recommend a fresh install of boost 1.55

[azhago]

So, if i understand well, if i want to solomine with several computers, i have to install boolbd and sync on each one, and then start mining on each (with the same wallet address) ?

[btc-mike]

Please do. Just call it boolberry for now.

[blaaaaacksuit]

I think so, until someone can make a simple miner for boolb.

Yes. Restarted make job. Much slower this time so it appears not be simultaneous this time.

Almost got the VM going, so I will compile one way or another.

Thanks for help.

Follows https://twitter.com/secparam and tells everybody that CryptoNote is a better technology than what Darkcoin uses

Compile on ubuntu14 VM. It works on vm. I FTP to to my hosted server (centos i think). Wget to another ubunto14. I get a segmentation fault.

Argghhh

How did i see if i found a bloc ? in the wallet directly, or is there some kind of message in boolbd ?

[btc-mike]

use the "refresh" command in the wallet
