What is the correct difficulty for each channel? Getinfo sometimes shows very low diff (GPU channel I guess) and sometimes shows 6.xx (CPU channel)

Working on this at the moment. The difficulty is calculated properly, just the display number is incorrect. I'll post 1.0.1c with the fixes to give accurate difficulty numbers when finished.

that's strange that it works for some not for others... (works for me though...  )
There is still a bug in the hashrate report which may be wrong right after a block is found (and apparently after a new block is detected on the network too... ).

Can people report on the linux compilation ? (I don't have linux... so you might expect error and omission at that level)

[paulthetafy]

Can you also zip instead of rar'ing the source? trying to unrar on *nix is a pain in the ass, and I can't get it working on this rar due to incompatible paths / filenames.

Does anyone have it compiling on linux yet?

funny what you said but usually zip is rather for windows and rar/tar for linux

#include <cstdlib>

is a C++ header file, yet we use the gcc C compiler. This won't work

try <stdlib.h> instead.

[paulthetafy]

But this is in the included boost file?

did you make any changes to the makefile?

[djm34]

Download the gpu miner and run it with commandline arguments 127.0.0.1 9325.
It will mine for the GPU channel once you are synced.

Thank You,

How much memory has your card ?
With the current throughput, my 750ti uses 1132MB (so the 750(ti) with only 1Gb of vram won't work... ) 

[skunk]

did you make any changes to the makefile?

answering to myself: symlink cpu-miner.c to skminer.c
then i've got your same cstdlib error, so googling i've found out the error is due gcc != g++ and a possible solution is renaming the .c file to .cpp, but even after symlinking to skminer.cpp and replacing all instances of skminer.c with skminer.cpp into the makefile, i still get the same error:

Code:

gcc -std=gnu99 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I.     -g -O2 -MT skminer.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/skminer.Tpo -c -o skminer.o skminer.c

i've no idea how to correctly fix this but hopefully you've got a clue about what's the problem...

Finally I succeed to compile the miner under Windows with Visual Studio by resolving all the dependencies, but it's still not working.
I think the problem is not with the uint2bytes64.
Looks like that the scanhash_sk1024 (in MinerThread.cpp ->MinerThread::SK1024Miner()) always returns with Nonce=0
I have 0 experience developing in CUDA so it will be challenging to find what is the real problem here.
BTW I have a GeForce GTX 750 Ti with 2Gb RAM

the 780 is this compute 30 or 35 ?

My 780ti works well on it.
I think too, it is a problem with the gpu not working properly on your card, if it always return, it means it doesn't work properly.
however, the 750ti shouldn't have any problem.

Any of your cards attached to a monitor ?

For info it was compiled with vs2013
and boost 1_56 (the others dependencies being those of ccminers, except for pthread which isn't needed. )

also make sure you have the latest drivers and compiled with cuda 6.5

[cbuchner1]

i've no idea how to correctly fix this but hopefully you've got a clue about what's the problem...

I think in the configure.ac you have to tell the autotools that you want to use c++ ,not just plain C
(use the AC_PROG_CXX macro)

then run aclocal && autoheader && automake && autoconf

and ./configure
