Aren't there memory leaks in cpuminer 2.4.3 win64 version? Its virtual memory increases roughly 4GB per day while mining 1MB blocks. When remote node restarts these GB disappear and miner then tries to resolve host with four random characters even it was configured to connect at 127.0.0.1.

You are right, I just checked and there is indeed a memory leak in the GBT code. I'll push a quick fix to GitHub shortly. Hopefully I'll also be able to publish new binaries soon.

so i've been toying with a fork of the most current bitcoin source code, and im trying to cpumine the new genesis block and 1st block after..

Code:
./minerd -a sha256d -o http://127.0.0.1:8228 -t 1 -u rpcuser -p rpcpassword -D -P
[2016-02-05 12:33:00] 1 miner threads started, using 'sha256d' algorithm.
[2016-02-05 12:33:00] ...retry after 10 seconds
[2016-02-05 12:33:10] ...retry after 10 seconds
[2016-02-05 12:33:20] ...retry after 10 seconds

odd thing is, i can telnet to that port and see its open, but the miner doesn't seem to care what my rpc user/pass info is, because ive even entered the wrong info and it just does the same thing..

i get no info from -D debug either..

*update

so i used a binary from the sourceforge site:

Code:
./minerd -a sha256d -o http://localhost:8288 -t 1 -u rpcuser -p rpcpassword -D -P
[2016-02-05 15:27:18] 1 miner threads started, using 'sha256d' algorithm.

Version 2.4.3

  • The miner can now take advantage of the VIA PadLock Hash Engine (PHE), but only in 64-bit mode.
  • Version-4 blocks are now recognized.

The source code is, as always, available at GitHub. Source tarball and binaries are available at Sourceforge.

Latest version is not working on my Windows 10 Pro PC.

What issue did you experience exactly?

When I click on miner, it just blink and disappear.

That is normal. This is a command-line application, it has no graphical interface.

there is some problem in block version
Unrecognized block version: 4

on latest bitcoin wallet 0.11.99

Thank you for pointing this out. I've just pushed a commit to the git repo to support the new block version.

I'm using the Bitcoin version v0.11.2 (64-bit) and I'm having the same issue with the blocks... Sad

Is there a version of this miner which supports the ScryptJaneNf16 algo?
This latest version  2.4.2 supports it.  Scrypt Jane A.K.A scrypt-chacha
You must be thinking of some fork. The miner discussed in this thread only supports scrypt and SHA-256d.

Trying to compile, but getting errors:

./configure: line 6517: syntax error near unexpected token `,'
./configure: line 6517: `LIBCURL_CHECK_CONFIG(, 7.15.2, ,'
See the FAQ in the first post.
Thanks, the FAQ did enable me to get it compiled, and I verified that it doesn't include the ScryptJane branch.

Yes, my mistake, my version is cpuminer-2.4.0. I'm pretty sure it's from here:  https://github.com/milancoin-project/cpuminer

Ahh, ok. I think I have cpuminer 2.4.1
Let me pull a new version and see if that helps.

How can i use minerd with latest litecoin and bitcoin wallets (0.10+)
they stop support getwork.
So is there any command line options for getblocktemplate, please provide usage example  Smiley
(ps need it for solo mining, testing purposes)

GBT support has been there since version 2.4. Check out the man page for minerd for the full documentation and a couple examples. Basically you just need to provide a payout address by using the --coinbase-addr option, like this:
Code:
minerd -a sha256d -o http://localhost:18332 -O rpcuser:rpcpass --coinbase-addr=mpXwg4jMtRhuSpVq4xS3HFHmCmWp9NyGKt
