[BBR] Boolberry: Privacy and Security - Guaranteed Since 2014

[dga]

All pools I checked have 0 hashrate.. It seems BBR is mined only by people with lots of resources. With probability to mine for days until founding a block... there is no point trying

extremepool.org address is http://boolberry.extremepool.org/ - it has 180kh/s and had found block 8 days ago...

Frankly it seems BBR is mined only from few people with big resources. That alone explains why mid and low-power miners go away or don't even try it. Big fish eats all the food.

Eh - I mine BBR at home on 5x Intel Haswell CPUs (a mix of i7-4770s, e3, and i7-4790s).  I get a block every 2 days or so.  This isn't tiny, but I don't have a huge farm either.  You just have to be willing to accept the variance.

But try bbr.farm -- they're at 180mh/s (!).  Just a quick check shows:  Block Found: 7 minutes ago

Just got around to taking a proper look at CryptoNote and specifically Boolberry.

My conclusion is... it's all about the Boolberry!  


CPU mining is working great at Digital Ocean

Most of you will probably already know that you can get $10 free cloud mining with Promotional Code: SSD2014 or OMGSSD10  

You will need to use the 1 GB RAM / 1 CPU instance, as a 512 MB RAM instance will truncate when you run minerd.

Once you have created a droplet and logged in via SSH / PuTTY (for windows) copy / paste into the terminal...

Code:

sudo apt-get update

Code:

sudo apt-get install libjansson-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libncurses5-dev pkg-config automake yasm git make

Code:

git clone https://github.com/cryptozoidberg/cpuminer-multi

Code:

cd cpuminer-multi

Code:

./autogen.sh

Code:

./configure CFLAGS="-O3"

Code:

make

...

Code:

apt-get install screen

Code:

screen

Using 'screen' allows you to run a separate and virtual (desktop) screen for mining. Just hit the space bar twice to return to the command prompt.

Code:

./minerd -a wildkeccak -o stratum+tcp://bbr.farm:7777 -u YOUR BBR WALLET ADDRESS -p x -P -D -t 1 -k http://bbr.farm/download/scratchpad.bin

Minerd should now start mining. You can of course use port 5555 (instead of port 7777) if your server instance has more than 1 CPU. Changing the -t value to the appropriate number of CPU threads.


- You must use (press and hold) CTRL + A + D to get out of the screen session. Then type exit and press enter to close the terminal, although continuing mining Boolberry.

If you log back in to the terminal type: screen -r and enter to check that your still mining Boolberry.

If you need to stop mining Boolberry type: sudo killall minerd and press enter.

To restart mining type / repeat only steps:

Code:

cd cpuminer-multi

Code:

screen

Code:

./minerd -a wildkeccak -o stratum+tcp://bbr.farm:7777 -u YOUR BBR WALLET ADDRESS -p x -P -D -t 1 -k http://bbr.farm/download/scratchpad.bin

Finally, I have a graphical guide here: http://darkproxy.eu/darkcoin-cpu-cloud-mining-guide.php that I posted for darkcoin - when CPU mining was just about still relevant.

N.B. DigitalOcean Singapore servers are closer to http://bbr.farm pool (for reduced latency) and Ubuntu 14.04 x64 LTS should be your chosen OS.
 
 - Trying to make myself useful and increase / spread the hash rate. Thanks!

Why are you mining bbr ? Now bbr has high diff and low price.  I want to believe in Boolberry but ...
I can't see marketing and PR support.

Why are you mining bbr ? Now bbr has high diff and low price.  I want to believe in Boolberry but ...
I can't see marketing and PR support.  

I learned some time ago now (and the hard way), that if everything is mostly good from an innovation and technical perspective - that the rest (marketing, mass adoption and investment etc.) will probably follow, although not for sure ofc.

Boolberry is some what leagues ahead in terms of privacy and other technical features, when compared to some other coins that are claiming to have these features. I also really like the name. It reminds me of when I used to tell people about Bitcoin and they would say Bitwhat?

Alt. coins should be Alternative !

BOOLBERRY NEWS

A lot has happened recently and I wanted to recap in case you miss anything.

!!!! Critical update !!!! - Fixed bug in GUI Wallet! Please update GUI to v0.2.0.28(9fda647) !!!!!

1) Fixed bug in wallet. Please be sure you have the newest version.

2) BBR now has an open-source GPU miner. The miner conforms to the OpenCL standard allowing it to work on both AMD and Nvidia cards. It only allows for solo mining at this time but we will have it on the pools shortly.

3) We released a presentation last week addressing one of the points that makes BBR's anonymity better than all other CryptoNote coins.

4) Clintar updated the pool code. All of the updates to zone117x's CryptoNote pool code have been merged into Boolberry's pool code. Those updates are available here- https://github.com/clintar/node-cryptonote-pool

5) Released the Mac version of the Official GUI Wallet.

6) CPUminer-multi development continues. We will be releasing an update soon that gives more a 30% increase in hashrate.

Mabey I just make a stupid mistake... but I did not get it by myself... so thanks, if you red this so far 

[Brilliantrocket]

Was it decided that Boolberry will be the permanent name?

[otila]

Some more speedups for cpuminer, 108% speedup on Core i5-2500K (4-core).
If your L3 cache is bigger than current scratchpad size, the main optimization (prefetch data-to-be-XORed) does not help very much.

Remember that with donations you can encourage developers to contribute more code and fixes!

https://github.com/clintar/node-cryptonote-pool might be better. I started with node-cryptonote-pool as a base and I think things are better that way. I'll try to keep that one updated, but my time is limited, and it still needs some good testing.

Ask in the GPU thread. mbk seams to be watching that thread.

The thread was originally for the bounty, but I renamed it so we can continue to use for GPU discussion.

-lots of useful mining info removed-

This is such a sleeper coin. I have a few VPSes acting as DRK masternodes. I think it would be very useful to have them moonlight as Boolberry miners too...Thanks for the tips.

[forzendiablo]

will we get cgminer ?

[crypto_zoidberg]

Hello dear friends!

Want to announce that i've almost finished porting porting difficulty type in boolberry daemon from 64 bit to 128 bit.
This is very important since BBR have completely different hashrate compared to CryptoNight hash, to avoid difficulty overflow(mostly cumulative_difficulty) was needed to use 128 bit difficulty type for all daemon operations.
At first i want to say many thanks to jahrsg (https://github.com/jahrsg, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=356516) to porting main functions and creating tests, that guarantee that this new versions working exactly the same as old one on 64-bit  range.


I would like to ask you to test it for one or two days before merge it into master branch.

Code:

git clone
git checkout difficulty128
make -i

I want to get some bugreports here or into email: support@boolberry.com or in bookberry.

Good luck!!

[crypto_zoidberg]

All pools I checked have 0 hashrate.. It seems BBR is mined only by people with lots of resources. With probability to mine for days until founding a block... there is no point trying

extremepool.org address is http://boolberry.extremepool.org/ - it has 180kh/s and had found block 8 days ago...

Frankly it seems BBR is mined only from few people with big resources. That alone explains why mid and low-power miners go away or don't even try it. Big fish eats all the food.

We working on porting opencl into miner client for pools, i hope this helps.
