[XMR] Monero - A secure, private, untraceable cryptocurrency

[Globee07]

Hello Guys!

Which miner softwares have already been updated to support the new fork? and which one would you recommend for cpu mining? I have been using XMR CGPU before (that was giving the best results) but it's not updated yet :/

[e-coinomist]

Hope someone in here can help with this...

I am running several Dell R815 servers to mine Monero.

I have installed UBUNTU Linux 16.04 on these machines.

I have XMR-STAK running no problem at all -- works great... get ~2kH per system.

BUT I have not been able to successfully get XMR-STAK or any program, for that matter, to startup with the OS.

There is a GUI section in UBUNTU that you can add Startup programs... or so it says... but it doesn't work.

Not going to lie -- I am a Linux NOOB and these systems are my first foray into Linux.

Take a look inside /etc/init.d/ for examples of processes launching at boot time. Copy and modify some that contains "sudo" for running the miner as some reserved user. "man renice" might come handy if you want to change the process's priority, as in foreground vs. background tasks.

Pools usually have links to recommended miners on their respective site.  As always, different hardware/rig/HW config reacts differently with a particular miner. Hence, testing and tweaking them is a must if you care about squeezing out performance and that sort of stuff.

Went with XMR Stak, works fine, hashrates are the same, as I was able to use my previously config files

Is anyone else having issues downloading a wallet? I've tried the win and linux versions and keep getting network errors when I try to download

Well, look at the code. There is no plain english write up AFAIk, but it is open source after all.

The innermost loop is changed which is probably what you would want to burn into hardware directly for maximum efficiency, especially if you had no reason to expect such a change to be made.

Going forward there is more risk that ASICs may be built in a more flexible manner.

I wish I still had that ability to read the code but I like most of the people interested in this project have to rely on the Devs answers to our questions if something is not clear to us. Yes I'm sure in the future the asic design will become more flexible, for instanceI would have designed the chips to be removable for easy swapping, IMO that was a foolish design flaw, sockets are cheap. Sometimes engineers do not see the trees for the woods or is that supposed to be the other way around?

The blockchain sync takes loads of time. I tried using an official wallet but ended up with a light version connected to a remote node where I can control the seed and keys of my wallet.

hashrate and diff seems to be stabilizing.

Have you tried Claymore? What is the speed difference?

Have you tried the alternative download links on Github?

Note that you can use the official wallet with a remote node too:

Just having a problem trying to open my cli wallet. The daemon is fully synced, but when i open the wallet, enter my wallet name, it gives me the line to enter the password but keyboard is locked so cannot enter any text

Went with XMR Stak, works fine, hashrates are the same, as I was able to use my previously config files

Have you tried Claymore? What is the speed difference?

I find that Claymore HR fluctuates wildly at poolside and drops down very low and rarely matches up to the minerside HR. Whereas XMRig is much more consistent poolside and in fact, much higher poolside HR than that of minerside.

only reason i use claymore is the built in monitoring,
anyone recomend better pools than nanapool, they seem to be stealing from me

Can we get Light version of wallet, this is a must thing to do, first thing to do. It's pain in the butt to use this large wallet and sync it.
I can't even open current wallet, I lost over 1 monero coin because of poor functionality of current wallet. So yeah not to happy with the current wallet.

For now I need to use that low graphics wallet because normal version won't load.

Light version wallet priority #1.

... for instance I would have designed the chips to be removable for easy swapping, IMO that was a foolish design flaw, sockets are cheap. Sometimes engineers do not see the trees for the woods or is that supposed to be the other way around?

no industrial scale equipment available for swapping socketed chips on used (and dusted!) hardware, you would have to ship them to China and employ cheap manual labor to do that

seen video footage of moving mining gear out of mongolia, for relocating to a different place. the amount of dust is nearly fatal to fans and anything surrounding

using claymore for CPU, working fine. XMR stack is working fine for GPU.
