dont understand?? problem after problem

I really really want to engage in this altcoin community, but I find the command lines and such quite confusing, so much looking forward to official gui releases, wallet/miner

Yeah, if you can't use a shell, you'll want to wait a bit on this one.

its not like im an inexperienced windows user, but I feel rather uncomfy when we are dealing with command lines, unstable soft like windows and real investments. Is the gui wallet under testing fully functional? can you save ur monero even though its experimental?

Well, I'm not trying to be mean when I say this, but this is pre-alpha software. Monero may one day make it big with some work, but it has some seriously massive bugs.

As for the GUI wallet, I would trust the CLI tools far more than I would trust it. Why? Because it's had even less time to mature than Monero has (even though I'm sure it is less complex), and more importantly, it uses the same CLI tools anyway. Adding that layer of indirection just means more can go wrong.

All that being said, I have bought a LOT of Monero, relative to the amount of money I have, and I am considering buying more.

Just make absolutely sure you have a copy of your wallet stored securely.  It's even more important with Monero than bitcoin-based stuff -- I have corrupted my wallet.bin and wallet.keys several times.

I keep a spare copy of it on another directory on my computer, and another copy remotely.  That seems to work pretty well thus far.

How did you corrupt it?

I was ssh'd into the machine with the wallet, left the wallet open, and then (by closing my laptop and going somewhere else), let the ssh session get terminated.

Some of those corruptions may have been when I was trying to un-stick the merge-mined blocks (fix now committed by NoodleDoodleNoodleDoodle), but some of them were when just looking at the wallet.

Would love to set my miners at this pool have about 25 machines, but cannot seem to get ubuntu 12.04 to run this software for some reason... still stuck cannot figure out why....

anyone successfully installed on 12.04? if so please get me the commands to make this work.

What are your errors?

i have alot of errors when i do make -j4

But i just checked i installed boost 1.55 but it still showing

#define BOOST_LIB_VERSION "1_48"

How do i remove bost 1.48 completely and install it fresh because that might be the cause.

and if i have 32 threads on my cpu. would my make -j32  be that?? confused

Did you compile boost from source? If so

Code:

rm -rf bitmonero/build
make -j4 BOOST_ROOT=/path/to/boost1.55

If you installed it with apt-get, try

Code:

sudo apt-get remove libboost-all-dev libboost-dev
sudo apt-get autoremove

More issues. I don't know if it is necessary to build boost with mpi (though if you are going to install it system wide that might be a good idea) but if so you need to add mpi to the apt-get install earlier in the script.

In testing

http://mon.hashharder.com/index.html#

Code:

simpleminer --pool-addr=mon.hashharder.com:5555 --login=address --pass x

I wona know how did I add the mining-threads?

Code:

--mining-threads=3

or

Code:

--mining-threads 3

or

Code:

t=3

does not work at all

How use threads with simpleminer ?

I took a quick look at the code I think you just need to run multiple copies. Run it as many times as you want threads. Unless I missed something.

Yeah, multithreading is on the TODO list, but we also hope to have a proper cpuminer fork out soon too.

OH no,should it be fix soon?

[cubydu]

Code:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

VAR1="1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8"  # 8 core cpu

for a in $VAR1; do { ./simpleminer --pool-addr=mon.hashharder.com:5555 --login=4AqWKmfKGGshBuG6qHEM5KNTmZwY3Vqn4Ev2KioFSmokNe3vjWamkxmJnYCpySpATnHQAdnxSKJ2BWmRuVjBps3R5xYhCzP --pass x; } & done;

echo "Script has finished"

Exit 1

As have I, wolf. As have I.

[emontmon]

how do I use the pool
it says to download a wallet and simple miner. do I have to use that one or the one i have already created and have been solo mining on.

also, do run bitmonerod locally or just open run the simpleminer.

this is my command: simpleminer --pool-addr=mon.hashharder.com:5555 --login=45zQuFfmbwC6o4aq7vVxXUbwUE31FEywxehsVmGY5C4o9ZgaPXZDnVm347ECvwT75gVPnVBAkHNKMDMiQ8Sz7NHrKsGD9J1 --pass x
also as above, I am curious how to add threads.

[surfer43]

Why does anyone want to use a pool that doesn't work yet? 

[emontmon]

i am trying to contribute. that little that my contribution maybe.

[surfer43]

Simpleminer is going to be replaced by cpuminer soon, and that has an option for number of threads. Until then, just launch multiple instances of simpleminer.

I don't, but will when a working functional pool is up.

[coinfusion]

Hey devs, slow_hash.c is very hungry for stack space -- it segfaults when hashing the genesis block with a mingw-64bit build.  I noticed you increased the stack size limit with MSVC in the makefile, so it would be a good idea to place the equvalent inside the MINGW conditional -- set(CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS "${CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS} -Wl,--stack,10485760")

Alternatively, you could place long_state on the heap since it wouldn't slow things down much at all.

do you run one instance per core?

http://moneropool.com/ - is this valid pool?

It doesn't work yet.

[parker928]

just curious, how many blocks do you guys think a machine with an i5 4670k could find in a week?

I have a couple of gpu rigs but the cpu's aren't doing anything

an i5 4670k
an edit: AMD sempron 145
an A8 vision AMD laptop processor
and 5x Dell M6300 dual core?
i had these machines on darkcoin up till now but i believe monero is a superiors currency compared to darkcoin and would rather use our computing power to generate this one

my grandfather is a systems programmer for IBM as well as a former microsoft coder...and I am a miner...we have tons of cpu power around here...

anyone willing to help me figure out if i should put the time into mining this coin or not? est blocks per week with all these machines?

Or do you even want me too =P
