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

[PeaMine]

Started over and grabbed the new updated CudaMiner from git.
Makes now with no issue, but now:

CudaMiner$ ./minerd -a m7 -o stratum+tcp://xcnpool.1gh.com:7333 -u Cmyaddressi -p x -t 1
[2014-08-06 18:36:43] 1 miner threads started, using 'm7' algorithm.
[2014-08-06 18:36:43] Starting Stratum on stratum+tcp://xcnpool.1gh.com:7333
GPUassert: invalid device symbol cuda_whirlpool512.cu 1428

Going to try removing whirlpool512 and compiling again, I assume -t 1 is correct as I only have a single GPU.

Thanks for the help all, I'll have to run some cards on someone's XCN address when this works for the help =)

the source compiles just for compute 3.5, so it works just for maxwell cards, if you are on kepler edit the makefile and change compute_35 with compute_30

Maxwell is 5.0 - Kepler is 3.0 & 3.5.

ops, sorry for the confusion, anyway you have to edit the makefile in order to get the miner working with your card...

[mmmaybe]

To create fairness, we would need a GPU version working on win. Can't devs create/organize a (possible community) bounty for it...?

You have to wait a bit for the hashrate to stabilize with the GPU miner. I waited about the same length of time, more than 2x hashrate and more than 2x shares submitted. Also higher efficiency, although that is debatable over a short runtime. (nsfw as usual)

I know it can do more, though...

There is a GPU miner???

Thanks. And yeah, there's a public one catia made, and then I edited it a lot to produce what you see in the second screenshot.

Seems to hit around 2.55 to 2.65 on 1GH, so looks like it needs work. Still far better than the stock one.

i can't find that public miner, but i presume is not really profitable to mine even with gpu at this point

ah i need to add it, too lazy now lol...there are some stuff that need to be changed also, otherwise i'm just compiling same algo two times...

win7 x64 problem:

i had a fresh install of the wallet, started syncing and used the initial address for mining @ 1gh. the wallet got stuck at some "trie" stuff (for over 6h) so I restarted the qt-wallet. Now it says my wallet.dat is corrupted, and can't be repaired. the wallet.dat file is getting renamed and a new one is created. all my mined coins are gone. there are generally a lot of runtime exceptions and messages when operating the wallet.

how can I get my coins back? looks like there is no checkwallet/repairwallet implemented.

Code:

Page 0: metadata page corrupted
Page 0: could not check metadata page
wallet.dat: DB_VERIFY_BAD: Database verification failed
file unknown has LSN 1/3132, past end of log at 1/1076
Commonly caused by moving a database from one database environment
to another without clearing the database LSNs, or by removing all of
the log files from a database environment

looks like a critical bug in the QT wallet which kills the wallet.dat

Edit: salvagewallet did not work either

LOL no 32bit binaries? Are you f--- kidding me?  

I have been using Linux for well over a decade. It has never once occurred to me that software being unavailable for my machine was some kind of misdeed by the author. Especially if source code is provided for said software. I guess users of windows XP must be some kind of entitled folks. Like, what you no compile for my 8 year old OS that I pirated? Waste your own time dude.

Couple of points:
A) Only dumbasses use the newest Windows as they are increasingly falling into the hands of tyrants, the newest Windows for example will only notify you when it's going to shut down for updates with no way to delay the updates (pretty much notifies you halfway through your work I'm shutting down for updates in half an hours and fuck you). Not to mention the shit GUI, the shit performance, the shit security and the shit everything else.
B) 32Bit machines are still the most popular currently.
C) Compiling the GUI on Windows requires installing numerous dependencies and hard configurations, while I am smart enough to do this most other people aren't.

Overall this is the classical "blame it on the one that exposed our stupid behavior" by the shill, if the devs are lacking the common sense to provide 32bit binaries what could you expect from the source except buggy, shitty code written by some chinese hack?

You may or may not have a valid point about 32 bit binaries, but leave your racism/nationalism at the door.  The nationality of the developer has nothing to do with the quality of his or her code, just as your own nationality has nothing to do with whether you have a bloody clue about the difficulty of supporting a wide variety of cross-platform and cross-architecture builds when trying to deal with new code and a huge list of "wants" from everybody.

I suspect you don't, but it's not because you're an American, Armenian, Argentinian, or Zimbabwean.  It's because you need to take a deep breath, remember that nobody owes you the software you're running without paying anything for it, and remember that these are real human beings on the other end of the conversation, not anonymous bots posting to a chat forum.

I think that most would understand that by a "chinese hack" I am not implying that his code is inferior due to his nationality as a chinese (rather a hack) but that the market is saturated with chinese willing to write buggy code for a fraction of the price of a real programmer. The phones in both of our pockets have been created by the chinese but the difference is that those are high quality employees working for high quality american companies, not 18 year olds looking to scam on freelancing websites.

It's true that they don't owe me the binaries, and I don't owe not calling them dumbasses for not providing them.

This. Also, the point about 32-bit machines being the most popular is invalid - not because it's not true, but because it doesn't matter. Those machines are phones and ATMs, machines that people don't actually use for this sort of thing.

As far as I know most home computers are 32-bit as well, but of course you'll make the claim that the kind of tech savvy people that would use cryptocurrencies would all have 64-bit machines right?

[restless]

Actually, those who use AMD x64, are happy with 52bits for addressing physical memory

[DenisZabar]

Does anyone have problem to backup wallet trough GUI?
It says that I have successfully made ​​a backup to the desired location, but there is not wallet.dat?

Well then you don't know shit and should generally just shut the fuck up.

Still no evidence to suggest that more than 50% use 64-bit, even if you take in the flawed momentum data. Haters gonna hate, watch your pump-n-dump floating belly up within 2 months like all the other shitcoins.

Damn...miners be dumping this coin like a bad habit..

lol because of no 32bit binaries? Yeah ok bud. So what coins have you crafted?

I concur with tmbp, although I dislike his style. My point is: Old computers are almost only 32bit machines, right? Think of all the old machines in Africa, Asia, Middle-East, Europa, South and North America, etc. Think of the old machines in schools and universities, in internet coffee shops, non-nerd households etc. Even in modern tablets you have mostly 32bit hardware. 64bit is coming, but honestly, 32bit machines are still out there and, at least, in the millions. It's more than likely that #32bit > #64bit is correct than the other way around, and this will probably last for another couple of years.

It's not the hardware - the last 32-bit-only desktop CPU released by Intel was the Pentium 4 in 2004.  A little over a decade ago.  Yes, there are some decade-old computers (heck, my desktop at work is 9), but they're not the majority.

It's the software, and that's fairly up in the air.  Most systems are caught up to at least Windows 7 these days, but some folks are still using the 32 bit versions of it.  It's probably more than 50%, but it's also important to remember that the kind of people running XCN *right now* are not normal.  Not by a far margin.  The distribution of 64 bit operating systems is probably WAY higher among the early adopter geek types who're into cryptocurrencies.

This software doesn't run on phones or tablets, so comparisons against that market are misleading.  Netbooks, perhaps, but even the newer Atoms are 64 bit.
