it would be funny to rewrite pretty standard sgminer v5 just to make it compatible with new mue.
meanwhile i tried all existing common versions, the same effect, no connection,

Sounds like a config issue. I don't have sgminer, an amd card, or a Windows machine handy to help you through this but you should try checking your no-extranonce and fix-protocol.
Sgminer is pretty much geared toward stratum mining. I don't think they've done anything with the solo stuff like GBT in a long time.
I tested the windows build under wine and it works fine. I tested with cpuminer-multi solo and node stratum with nicehash.

there's no problem with most of quark-based coins except that new mue wallet.
and i'm not even sure it's about crypto protocols, maybe smth wrong with your windows build
as it was with options checkboxes earlier, just guessing.
please test yourself

MUE is a "quark-based coin" in algorithm only. This applies to the way the miner gets work (getwork = old and getblocktemplate = new) as well as a number of other things.
Please keep in mind that this is all experimental software, bitcoin included

Hey guys I am sort of new to mining and I need some help setting it up I have downloaded the wallet for windows from a link here a couple of posts ago and am now curious about it. Does the wallet automatically mine? there is a mining section with hash rates but I have yet to set anything up. also any help on setting it up would be greatly appreciated.
I have an amd fx-6300 cpu
and a radeon hd 7850 overclocked.
Thanks in advance.
p.s. Also should I mine in a pool and if so which one?

WALLET WILL NOT SYNCH--

I downloaded the latest versioon of the MUE wallet, Win64 10.-.03, and it will not synch.  What should I do?       --scryptr

EDIT:  It is finally beginning to synch, after about 1 hour of no connections.  Sorry to hit the panic button!       --scryptr

Hi, I've never GPU mined so I can't help you with that.
I CPU mine, and its really easy, try here
http://www.monetaryunit.org/muestuff/how-to-use-and-set-up-cpuminer/
For pool try
http://p2pool.e-pool.net:8963/static/
but there are others listed in the ANN.

Hopefully someone will be able to help you with GPU mining.

No problem, I had a similar issue.
Wallet installed lovely but wouldn't sync.
I just left it on and next time I checked it was syncing away happily.
Our dev Upgradeadvice has integrated a DNS seed service which the wallet polls to check for latest valid nodes, and it seems to be doing the job which is good

I tested the windows build under wine and it works fine. I tested with cpuminer-multi solo and node stratum with nicehash.

cpuminer-multi doesn't work for me either.
maybe it looks like smth wrong with conf, but v1.0.0.2 works just fine.
and yet i can perform any external rpc call to the new wallet, so rpc is working in general.

cpuminer-x64.exe -q -a quark -t 1 -o http://127.0.0.1:29947 -u *** -p ***

monetaryunit.conf:
rpcport=29947
rpcuser=***
rpcpassword=***
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
listen=1
server=1
daemon=1
gen=0

i see GBT version is now 114 vs 113 in old wallet.
i've checked responses to getblocktemplate, they are a bit different,
but i've also tried --no-gbt, --no-longpoll, nothing helps, json_rpc_call failed.

so, i'm running out of options ...

Beyond my technical expertise unfortunately, someone will I'm sure, be along at some point to offer some advice.
Thanks

Where i can find setup version of 1.0.0.2 ? Can't make solo working in latest version. It doesn't solo mine with ccminer or cpuminer with json_rpc_call error.

Sorry you're having issues, the source code is here
https://github.com/MonetaryUnit/MUE-Src/releases/tag/1.0.0.2
or you can point to a pool such as: http://www.exapool.com/ which has plenty of hash at the moment

edit: plus here too if you want http://p2pool.e-pool.net:8963/static/

Any chance to fix this error ? I believe this issue in the wallet code, cause for ex. vertcoin with lyra2rev2 algo solo mine ok by ccminer.

Of course, leave this with us so our dev UpgradeAdvice can take a look.
In the intermin, you can pool mine at both exapool and e-pool ...thanks

[upgradeadvice]

cpuminer-multi doesn't work for me either.

For cpuminer-multi, you must change the current block version https://github.com/tpruvot/cpuminer-multi/blob/windows/cpu-miner.c#L600 to 114:

Code:

#define BLOCK_VERSION_CURRENT 114

Where i can find setup version of 1.0.0.2 ? Can't make solo working in latest version. It doesn't solo mine with ccminer or cpuminer with json_rpc_call error.

MUE solo mining now relies on GBT. Sgminer's getblocktemplate support is severely lacking. ckolivas committed the necessary changes to cgminer back in March 2014 but it never made it to sgminer. Sgminer devs will eventually fix it as more coins update to the newer bitcoin code. For now, point your miners to a stratum pool or set up your own if you are so opposed to paying a pool fee.

Edit: ccminer appears to only use GBT for block height notification, and nothing else. Therefore, it won't work for solo mining either.

For cpuminer-multi, you must change the current block version https://github.com/tpruvot/cpuminer-multi/blob/windows/cpu-miner.c#L600 to 114:

Code:

#define BLOCK_VERSION_CURRENT 114

so looks like MUE goes pool-only for weeks ahead...

both sgminer and cpuminer run solo well for coins up to v113 GBT without any code corrections.
is GBT v114 very special, or maybe some other wallet code, not GBT related ?

I think the point being made is that we hope the option of solo mining will soon be redundant as the net hash means it will only be feasible to mine MUE through pools.
There are several pools to choose from, and if you have some decent hash rate please point to a pool with little or no hash rate which will attract more miners there.
Thanks

Thanks for the answer, i get it.

I am considering the option of changing some of the basic parameters of MonetaryUnit and was looking to hear your feedback.

The most obvious being the overall supply.
Technically it is set at about 31 million years of supply! lol which I intentionally did to put off the usual nefarious groups and individuals that like to manipulate and destroy coin projects.
Over a year on, and I think this is something we can possibly look at again.

What do you think the over all supply of MUE should be?
Happy to hear your thoughts.  I was thinking about 3,000,000,000 (about 100 years supply).

I still want MUE to be a low value coin per unit, however, this reduction in supply would potentially give a huge boost to the price and exposure of the project whilst maintaining the same principles and ethos.

Also, the current number of decimal places is 5.  To be in line with Bitcoin, this could also be increased to 8 maybe?

These sort of changes would be classed as "hard fork" type changes, so if we were to do this, are there any other fundamental aspects of the coin we could change at the same time?

IF we were to do changes of this nature, they would be well managed.  The new wallet would be released and only change many weeks in advance at a set block number etc etc

MonetaryUnit is over a year old, has some of the best services and infrastructure, is cheap, has payment processors etc etc, has a nice, friendly and committed team, and has huge potential that has yet to be realised.

So, any thoughts and suggestions, please let us know

Thanks

surprise, wallet refuses to start, any version, any block count

It will, give it some time.
The built in DNS seed finder can be a bit slow sometimes.  I had to leave mine about 15 minutes, but it did eventually pick up nodes and sync.
For others, it worked faster.
So give it a little bit of time, and it should work

when i say it refuses to start i mean to start, not to sync
there's no problem with seeds, it finds one in seconds, and immediately fails with fatal error (see screenshot).

Ah, you should learn how to insert images



It works fine on my Win10 machines, I've never used MinGW before, but that's probably the issue, unless someone else has any other suggestions.

lol scam cop out to change coin supply.

lol pointless post with no valid comment

oh really ?
what you see is on win7-64, wallet v0.10.0.3, i have no idea where mingw comes from, just the error message
wallet stopped working several hours ago, no obvious cause, and i can't still revive it

hmmm have you tried the obvious uninstalling, deleting roaming folder, and starting from fresh?
Sounds like something is corrupt somewhere, but like I say, I've installed several times with no issue, I'm thinking it's a local issue with your machine?

[ManiacMiner]

I have same error with each run the wallet. Win7-x64. Yesterday everything was fine.

i can assure you, i've tried everything including full traces cleanup, network reconfig etc.
what you see IS from fresh already

Oh..I'll have to try again myself when I get home from work...I'll let UpgradeAdvice know unless he is already aware...
