[ANN][XCN] Cryptonite | 1st mini-blockchain coin | M7 PoW | No Premine

[PeaMine]

Followed by a 15% drop in price on c-cex and bter, making it unprofitable for me =(
Just ordered some new hardware too, such is life of a CPU miner =D
Either way, still a great coin with mini blockchains and no asics.

And an additional 20% drop in price, I'm 100% out on this one until a better CPU miner comes along.

[Primitive]

why did the bottom fall out on the price?

[billotronic]

cloud miners dumped to pay the bills since gpu's will now be coming online

[mmmaybe]

why did the bottom fall out on the price?

The release of Cuda GPU miner, I assume.

a GPU farm is not impossible, but implementing these CL files for an AMD gpu is pretty hard. It would suprise me if someone made it that far. a large botnet is possible.

By the way: that mini blockchain feature is a really useful feature! Nice find

freshcoin use mini blockchain feature

No it does not.

Cool. However, doesn't seem to work on EC2 GPU instance (GRID K520). minerd gives error:

Code:

GPUassert: invalid device ordinal trashminer.cu 370

I guess it should be expected since it is supposed to work with 700 series of cards.

Can you post the build instruction for cuda on linux?

Should be pretty much in the README. Device ordinal probably caused by not running -t option. Must have threads equal to number of GPUs in system.

A half decent GPU miner has been created:
https://github.com/MiniblockchainProject/CudaMiner

There are several things to keep in mind 1) it is designed to work with 700 series nVidia cards but should work on 400 series cards if you change the make file 2) for now you will have to compile the GPU miner yourself for various reasons, we will try to post pre-compiled binaries when they become available.

See github project page for more information about usage and compiling.

Don't like the idea of gpu miners getting in this early, but it's eventually will happen with all coins that get popular enough. Good thing, it will prevent botnet from monopolizing the network. Hope an AMD miner is in the work.

Will there be a product/service that can be use with XCN? I mean purchase things with XCN exclusively.

Some of the successful coins, minus the scam coins, had services/products online with a week. Not trying to rush it, but a tentative schedule would be nice.

You should start it SpeedDemon13.  Start telling places you'd like to buy using XCN and why you prefer it.

I realize you're not CudaMiner support so don't need to reply, but used these instructions, on Ubuntu 14.04

I'm able to compile all other Linux CudaMiners, is why I brought up this being an obscure install, I guess it needs something I've never had to use before up until now.

[catia]

usually apt-get install libgmp-dev

is it.

[yeasee]

the price don't suit for the coin,just buy!

[wyj1888]

where is the AMD GPU minner for XCN?

[PeaMine]

usually apt-get install libgmp-dev

is it.

Got that installed already sadly, was hoping that was it.

You'll also want to install libcurl4-openssl-dev, and you may need to copy m4/sph_tiger.h into the build directory.

Got libcurl4-openssl-dev installed already, copied m7/sph_tiger.h (don't have a m4 in the git that I saw) same error.
