[FCN][MRO][QCN][BCN] GUI miner

[amphibian]

Hey guys,

There was a lot of problems with the last GUI miner version so I decided to build a new one.

Main point of it is this: I declined the concept of 4gb_memory_blockchain - all you have to do now is enter your BCN/MRO/QCN and FCN wallet address and connect to one of the nodes directly. It will solve the issue with the “eternal_BCN_sync”.

Download: http://solominer.org/
Source: https://github.com/amphibia/SoloMiner

Linux instructions:

Requirements:
OS: Ubuntu 14.04
Packages: libwxgtk3.0-0, libwxgtk3.0-dev, libwxbase3.0-dev, libwxbase3.0-0, libboost1.55-all-dev, cmake, wx3.0-headers, g++

How to build
The building process is pretty straightforward:

Code:

sudo apt-get install g++
sudo apt-get install cmake
sudo apt-get install libwxgtk3.0-0
sudo apt-get install libwxgtk3.0-dev
sudo apt-get install libwxbase3.0-dev
sudo apt-get install libwxbase3.0-0
sudo apt-get install libboost1.55-all-dev
sudo apt-get install wx3.0-headers

Code:

git clone https://github.com/amphibia/SoloMiner.git
cd SoloMiner
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
make

Run
./SoloMiner

BMR/MRO and QCN developers can contact me through PM to talk about direct nodes for miners.

That’s pretty much it for now - don't hesitate to reach out for me in case of any questions.

Cheers.

started BCN/FCN mining on the different (no bc) PC - working okay, no problems so far, will let you know if something goes wrong.

Thanks, will try it.

Just downloaded the Win64 version and am using it for Bytecoin and Fantomcoin. It took less than a minute to enter my information and to get it hashing. Thanks for making this so easy! And not having to download the blockchains for each is a BIG plus!!

[jasemoney]

very easy now to merge mine awesome!  glad it has the localhost settings too!

[poochpocket]

Thanks for this.
Any idea why I get so many "Failed to get donor block" messages?

EDIT:...never mind. I see that once the daemon fully synced the messages went away

MacOS (OSX) version added

Aha, found 3 Fantomcoin blocks during the weekend. No luck with Bytecoin though, but at least no need to have the bytecoind running and eating up the memory.

P.S. I have 30 h/s.

Ty for your work.
I tested it, but for now I will stick with command line

Thank you for testing.  Will be glad to see you back on SoloMiner!

i guess i was luckier ? 1 BCN and 1 FCN block throughout the weekend. what are you using for mining? i mean mining equipment

No working version for older OS?

I have a server with Windows Server 2003 x64 and cant use this miner

Unfortunately, no, I'm using functions that were introduced only in WinVista and older. Probably you could setup the Virtual Machine and use miner there. (VirtualBox or smth)

Contact me in case of any questions.

Cheers.

Im doing this actually, but only problem is in number of cores.

I have 2 processors each with 12 cores, total 24 cores, but with VirtualBox we can use only 4 cores each VM

Thx for fast reply

No problem.

Also, as far as I know VirtualBox can use more than 4 cores. At least I managed to create a 6-core ubuntu14 with no problems whatsoever. I assume you're using 64bit version, right?

Yes im using a 64bit version

VB use max number of processors x 2, so i can use max 4

Hm. I doubt it, since I was able to start 6-core VB using only 1 processor. Maybe I'm confusing something tho.

My setup (all 64-bit):

Computer 1 (dedicated miner): Ubuntu 14.04 desktop, A8 3.8GHz processor, running daemons for BCN and FCN, and has the wallets for BCN and FCN.  No Solominer.

Computer 2: (my home computer): Windows 7 desktop, i3 3GHz processor. Runs Solominer on 1 thread in the day while I'm using it, 2 threads at night.

Computer 3: (laptop): Xubuntu 14.04, i5 3GHz processor. Runs Solominer on 3 of the 4 threads. Mining on a laptop is NOT recommended. The only reason I do it is because I got this one really cheap and it came without a hard drive (runs Xubuntu from a USB flash drive). If it breaks, it breaks.

Repost from the main thread.

I think this is the optimal setup for MM mining, or pretty much every mining. Don't put all eggs in 1 basket! Golden Bitcoin wallet rule applies here too.

Is it possible to use this on pool? And if anyone can tell me how to limit simpleminer to certain number of threads? Thanks.

1 simpleminer = 1 core. Launch as much instances as you want cores to be used.

If you meant "SoloMiner", then there is a Thread count dropdown menu.

Regarding the pool question - for now, the answer is no. I'll probably work on that.

Cheers.
