[ANN] Slimcoin : Proof of Burn NEW BLOCK GEN, Mineable by low power computer!

[Yiki888]

Hi! I've been solo mining for 3 days and nothing found. (I found 2 PoW blocks at the begining and 1 PoB). Anyway, I burnt all my coins and didn't found anything
Any pool available? And does someone have the slimminer compiled for Windows? Thanks!

What hash is you have ?
4K hash/S?

No I only have about 1,5khash/s

..I have 6K HASH X8
A day
Only mined 5 block..

Dev, help dstrom fix p2pool !!!!

[sandor111]

PPNS Pool is nearly complete (only thing left is fixing payments), we are doing extensive testing to ensure that everything goes smoothly once launched. Also, the share counts from the temp pool will be transferred over.

Good job men

Great stuff !

Here's the windows guide that I posted earlier in the thread to build your own optimized slimminer for sandor111's pool:

Tried mining in your temporary pool for a while sandor111 and it seemed to be working OK.  

Here's how windows users can compile a more optimized / cpu specific build of slimminer for the main pool when its back up.

1 - Download and run Cygwin installer: http://cygwin.com/install.html > 'Cygwin Setup' folder on C:

2 - Ensure that you add the following extra packages to the 'default' install from the menu settings window (a few tabs into the install process);

devel / gcc-g++

libs / libcurl-devel

devel / automake

devel / make

archive / unzip

net (web) / wget

devel / git

net (web) / openSSL-devel

Remember to add: "automake: Wrapper scripts for automake and aclocal" - along with the latest auto make release - or slimminer won't compile.

3. Start the Cygwin terminal from the desktop shortcut you created at install. Now copy and paste the following:

Code:

git clone https://github.com/siklon/slimminer

Code:

cd slimminer

Code:

chmod +x autogen.sh

Code:

./autogen.sh

Code:

CFLAGS="-O3 -march=native" ./configure

Code:

make

Check for errors during the process, however your minerd.exe (slimminer) should now be built in;

C: > cygwin64 > home > 'account name' > slimminer

4. You can start mining from the Cygwin Terminal. Ensure that you cd into slimminer dir after starting the terminal window with;

cd slimminer

./minerd.exe -a dcrypt -o stratum+tcp://POOLADDRESS:POOLPORT -u YOURWALLET -p x

Remember to set the correct pool address, port and your own wallet address. You can also add -t 'number of cores'.

--scantime 15 (is probably optimal for pool mining) and --retries -1 will try to resubmit shares if the connection drops.  

...

To get an optimized build of slimminer for your chipset you need to change -march=native before compiling slimminer.

For an i7 :

Code:

CFLAGS="-O3 -march=corei7" ./configure

Those values can be found at: http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/i386-and-x86-64-Options.html#i386-and-x86-64-Options

Just delete everything in the slimminer folder if you want to recompile whilst trying to find the fastest CFLAGS for your chipset.

N.B. your miner will be dependent on your cygwin environment and is therefore not a standalone miner, but it will be optimized for your chipset and should certainly be much faster. You can also compile a working 32bit slimminer on windows this way.

Good Luck.

You can find information on your chip-set to improve mining performance (when compiling slimminer) using CPU-Z - http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html

For example, for best performance with an i7 with AVX support :

Code:

CFLAGS="-O3 -march=corei7-avx" ./configure

Instructions to build a static binary ?

Instructions to build a static binary ?

Notes for building a static binary with MinGW are included on the Git page: https://github.com/siklon/slimminer

Getting a fully working 64-bit MinGW build environment on windows is tricky in comparison to using Cygwin. Some recent updates have also changed the directory locations slightly, I think.

Anyway you can search for something like " Compile minerd x64 MinGW Windows Guide Howto " etc. and have fun with that.

Someone will be kind enough to post some static pre-compiled windows binaries I'm sure. One was posted earlier in the thread, although I noticed that the siklon/slimminer repo has been extensively updated around 10 hours ago, presumably to work optimally with the new pool.

I'll try to post up a working guide as its always best to do your own compile to get optimized binaries for your chip-set.

Anyway, I'm interested in building a more optimized version of slimminer, although I'm fairly busy with some other stuff at the moment.

I just need to burn a coin,  wait for it?

I gave up, maybe I'll mine again when there's a pool, for now even though I have like 1000 hashes or whatever I'm not getting anything and I'm not certain I even have everything set up correctly so more than likely I'll try when there's a pool involved.

You might be too impatient.  I've had those cores running since launch, total is about 2kHash/s, and so far - 8 blocks.  If more 'instant' gratification is your thing, then a pool probably would work better for you

Hi! I did everything you posted, but when I run "CFLAGS="-O3 -march=native" ./configure" it says:
"Checking whether the C compiler works... No.
configure:error: C compiler cannot create executables"

What could it be?

You will most likely of missed installing one of the required extra packages listed when installing Cygwin.

Run the Cygwin installer again to install over your existing installation.

On the packages window with the search box and drop down lists - search for each of the packages listed in bold.

You need to select multiple tick boxes for some of the listed packages.

If your not sure if you need a package in the listed category, just tick the box to install it anyway.

Good job! So, now we are just waiting for the pool then.

I've just built the miner on a 2nd x64 PC following my own instructions and it compiled OK.

Can also confirm it works fine as per the instructions (fresh cygwin install).

With the default instructions (no specific optimizations, but your checksums may vary anyway):

method	checksum for minerd.exe
MD5	1c3130c7935eb73f674bd8fa9768d67f
SHA1	6ee38f42fb8e62082dbe6e84487fed50847397cd

I have every package listed in the post, but still the same error. I must be missing something, or I don't know... I also have windows 7 x64. Should I try compiling for x86?
