Wolf's XMR/BCN/DSH CPUMiner - 2x speed compared to LucasJones' - NEW 06/20/2014

[Anuddabizraeli]

I cannot get the miner to work. It pulls the error: Error -1 when calling clGetDeviceIDs for number of devices.

I have an AMD r9 290 running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. I can't find any solution searching about. The closest relevant thing I saw suggested I cannot use the HDMI port on my GPU to connect to my monitor?

System Model:   B85M-DS3H-A

i guess is only CPU miner and you try with GPU


edit l was wrong yes you can used you GPU go here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=638915.0

Hi,

I wonder if anyone tried to use any virtualization soft for mining? For example, openVZ etc. It is interesting if several VE running miner are more profitable than one on a whole server?

Hello,

I have a problem building this miner. I am trying to build it in Linux 16.04 64bit with mingw32. I am configuring like that :

 sudo ./configure --host=i586-mingw32msvc

Then I have this error after sudo make :

cc1: error: invalid option argument ‘-Ofast’
cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-flto"
cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-fuse-linker-plugin"
Makefile:526: recipe for target 'minerd-cpu-miner.o' failed
make[2]: *** [minerd-cpu-miner.o] Error 1


I tried to remove this lines in the Makefile, but then I got other error. Does somebody have some idea how to fix that?

Thanks in advance !

Trying out mining Monero for the first time. When I first ran the cpu miner I got "Stratum detected new block" over and over, cpu running at 100%. Am I even mining?

Trying the second time I now get:
[2016-09-03 15:48:41] Using JSON-RPC 2.0
[2016-09-03 15:48:41] HTTP request failed: Protocol stratum+tcp not supported or disabled in libcurl

Any help? I cannot find much troubleshooting info online


EDIT:

Trying out the GPU miner, all I did was change the pool address and wallet address in xmr.conf and I get:

[16:08:38] Got something: {"id":1,"jsonrpc":"2.0","error":{"code":-1,"message":"your IP is banned"}}

[16:08:38] Share rejected ((null)): -1/0 (inf%)

wtf?

All anti virus detects CPU miners as viruses/trojans because of botnets.  Ofc that doesn't mean some aren't but this one is just fine and I have used it with no problems.  Wolf has a very good rep.  You should add it to your anti viruses trusted list so it doesn't mess with it later.

Hi,

I mined on all well-known virtualizers: KVM, XEN, OpenVZ, Proxmox, SolusVM and some custom stacks like Jelastic. No problems.
Before booking VPS, check if you have AES-NI on VPS. With-out AES-NI it's slower. A lot slower, around 1/3rd the speed. And the non AES-NI implementation is deprecated and will not be improved.


Never benchmarked.

What am I doing wrong?

[willi9974]

at the moment i use the claymore miner, but i will use the wolf miner.

i have the speed from 3,8 kh/s

09/06/16-20:45:59 - New job received from mine.moneropool.com:3333
Speed: 3859 h/s, TotalHashes: 5543K, DevHashes: 137K Mining time: 00:24

how can i configure the wolf miner and what are the best settings for a AMD 480'er system with 6 cards




BestRegards

This is a CPU mining thread, not GPU.

Hi guys,

based on Ubuntu Mate 16.04.1, I was able to build Wolf's miner from github as follows:

Code:

# install build tools and libs
sudo apt-get install build-essential autotools-dev autoconf pkgconf libtool

# get, build (statically) and install curl
wget https://curl.haxx.se/download/curl-7.50.1.tar.gz
tar xvfz curl-7.50.1.tar.gz
cd curl-7.50.1
./configure --disable-shared --enable-static --prefix=/tmp/curl --disable-ldap --disable-sspi
make
sudo make install;
cd ..

# build miner (statically)
unzip cpuminer-multi-master.zip
cd cpuminer-multi-master
./autogen.sh
./configure CFLAGS="-static" --with-libcurl=/tmp/curl
make

# confirm miner is entirely static
ldd minerd

I'm not entirely sure, whether I'm doing it formally right, but the resulting binary works as expected and all our boxes (also on those that don't run the dynamically-linked build due to lack of libs). So far, so good.

Here's my question:
How do I change the build process, such that I get an .so library instead of a binary for the miner. I would like to use the .so as sort of a plugin in a bigger Java-based application, that invokes C(++)-based library functions using JNA. I would now like to include Wolf's miner, too. Please note, that I do not want to use ProcessBuilder and similar to run the ordinarily built binary. The question here refers specifically to building a library from the miner code.

Thanks,
CaptainN00b

Hello, I am having problems to build wolf-cpuminer on ubuntu 16.04,14.04 using mingw32. I compile it easily for linux, but i would like to compile it for windows. I am having  this problem after: sudo make and this is my configure command : sudo ./configure --host=i586-mingw32msvc

cc1: error: invalid option argument ?-Ofast?
cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-flto"
cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-fuse-linker-plugin"
 
and when I go to Makefile and delete these lines, i am having other errors. I am not sure, i am on the right place for asking this question, but I hope  somebody may have a clue what to do.

Thanks in advance !

Found this after using yam and its increased my hashrate and of course is open source.

Cheers mate. Donated ~0.0033BTC change i had in a wallet. Thanks, keep up the good work.

[OhGodAGirl]

Holy moly I forgot about this. Two years?

Might be time for an update, pet.

Hey guys,
Can someone share his minerd .bat file need to do some tests on a i7 980x , thanks in advance !

Hey guys,

Any pool you want to use has this in the getting started area.

Code:

minerd -a cryptonight -o stratum+tcp://pool.minexmr.com:4444 -u YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS -p x

And yes, you need to have a wallet for this, although, if you only make a short test you will not be able to withdraw, so any publicly available XMR address will do.

thanks for the reply , im gonna use wolfs wallet address
