[XMR] Monero Mining

[Drhiggins]

Does anybody have step by step on how to run a rig through your own node.  Like being able to use Claymore or CCminer and not the built in simple miner.
 

I think you need a guide for creating a pool essentially.

https://github.com/zone117x/node-cryptonote-pool

the readme in there will prolly help yah.

Thanks

Hello, I pushed tiny fix for cpuminer-multi to get rid of stratum disconnects.

Increased timeout to 5 minutes to get rid of disconnects if there are no blocks in a network for 2 minutes or solved shares.
Clean way to handle this issue instead of cheating on pool side with stupid job retransmission.

Hi, Fellow, Miners!

We are closing down this pool, because our hashrate could not keep up with the server cost for too long.
All miners have been paid out.

We recommend using one of the pools on this topic:

Good luck mining!

I have a few low to mid-range CPUs and am going to set up a private pool tonight for these using this:

https://github.com/zone117x/node-cryptonote-pool

Can the computer that is hosting the private pool also use some of its cores to mine to its own XMR address? If so, how?

This is very bad idea to hash on pool server.

Ok - thanks! I'll put the pool on a PC with less CPU power and save the strong CPUs for mining.

For solo you can enable share trust to save cpu time on validation too.

Thanks for the cpu pointer!

I'm getting an error running the pool software. Here's what I do, each in its own tmux pane:

1. sudo ./bitmonerod
2. sudo ./simplewallet --wallet=x --password=x
3. redis-server
4. node init.js

After I type in "node init.js" I get this error:

Code:

module.js:322
    throw err;
          ^

Error: Cannot find module '/home/me/pool/node_modules/init.js'
   at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:320:15)

   at Function.Module.runMain (module.js:485:10)
   at startup (node.js:112:16)
   at node.js:865:3

The init.js file is at /home/me/pool/init.js

Any ideas?

[UPDATE]...about 30 minutes later:

I copied /home/me/pool/init.js to /home/me/pool/node_modules/init.js and then ran node init.js from the /home/me/pool/ directory, and now I get this error:

Code:

[master] Pool spawned on 2 thread(s)

...and this block of error messages keeps repeating. Any ideas?

Now that we are starting to see some rumors about AMD's next line up. How do you think they will fare against the maxwell cards?

Is there going to be a change in the prefered mining cards with R9 390X? Saw something about it being 50% faster then 290x but consuming alot of power.

I'm really sorry, guys, but i'm getting completely lost.Too much discussions here, website is not allowing to search quickly, help? Found a LOT of websites devoted to Monero, what should i read if i'm really interested in mining, but not really experienced in altcoins? Got it that there is no GUI, but that's about it.
Step-by-step, is there something like that?

Are you looking to CPU mine or GPU mine. Pool mine or solo mine. Pool mining recommended unless you are: a) playing it like a lottery, b) mining to support the network and don't really care if you get an immediate reward, or c) mining on a large scale (several dozen computers/GPUs at least).

Thanks for response! I was looking for pool, and i found Minergate, looks like okay one. No problems with finding pool. But i have some problems with creating a wallet, i met words like simplewallet and cryptonotewallet, but i have no idea how to set all things and need some guide, that's all.
I really wanted to try some cryptonote coin, red a lot, chose monero, but didn't expect so much different monero websites and absence of GUI.

There are some GUIs developed by third parties but they can be a bit tricky to set up.

https://moneroeconomy.com/news/choose-your-wallet

If you aren't intimidated by it, the command line one might be easier.

As far as using simple wallet:

To create a new wallet:

simplewallet --generate-new-wallet put wallet name here

To access the wallet

simplewallet --wallet  put wallet name here

within simplewallet type help for a list of commands.

Hello, i have a problem with GPU mining. I have a Nvidia GPU, mining with the ccminer from tsiv. and i put the script mine program in the same file witht the ccminer. i starting the miner and he closed direct after i´m starting this.

ok, so tsivs miner is not working for you.

I would install tsivs miner in a new directory.

also, what operating system are you using?

did u download from

https://github.com/tsiv/ccminer-cryptonight/releases

id just keep trying them one by one until it works. I've never tried it on windows.

i've heard though that there's an issue if you're actually using the GPU for your display - windows gets real choppy.
