There's likely an unallocated stratum session id variable with value "deadbeef......"

Why it crashes with HODL?  Huh
I have i74770K (Haswell).

Because you're doing something wrong. If you want a better answer, ask a better question.

Back, sorry if I did not left enough info.
I'm just doing the same that works for cpuminer-opt-3-3-8-windows version, that version is around half slower than cpuminer-opt-3.4.11-windows.
I'm trying to mine here https://erc.suprnova.cc/index.php?page=dashboard
However works as benchmark mode.

My bat line is cpuminer-core-avx2 -a hodl -o stratum+tcp://erc.suprnova.cc:7674 -u Username.Worker -p x -t 7 -D
pause

Here is a video

That's strange. Hodl was recently optimized with AVX2 but a 4770K supports it so it should work. I tested at Suprnova with a
4790K and it works fine with the AVX2 build.

It looks like an issue with your CPU. Did you try any of the other builds? That will tell you if your CPU has AVX2 working.
You could also test with another algo that uses AVX2 such as X11 or Lyra2REv2.

I don't like unknown media sites so I didn't look at your video. It's better to just copy/paste or screenshot the text from the
command window.

Are there any improvements to make by building it with gcc-6 over gcc-4?

Some people have reported problems with newer compilers, one that comes to mind is -flto option seems
to fail to break the compile.

I don't have a GCC 6 build environment yet so I have no comparative performance data. It is my feeling there
would be little miner performance gain from compiler improvements because most miner optimizations use
ASM or intrinsic functions for the time critical code.

Feel free to try and report your results.

Thanks for the clarification but Where I can find that cpu information if it is
    Haswell, Broadwell, Skylake
   Sandybridge
    Westbridge (AES + SSE4.1)
      Nehalem  (AES + SSE2)
   Core2 (no AES)............etc
Just tell us you CPU number like... I7-4930 or AMD A6 5400 etc.

AMD FX Series FX-6300 3.5Ghz 6X
and
Intel Core i5-4460 3.2Ghz Box Wink
AMD FX Series FX-6300 3.5Ghz 6X  use cpuminer-corei7-avx.exe

With the discovery of how to hash AES optimized groestl with different data lengths I was finally
able to implement it for groestl (+200%) and myr-gr (+100%). All algos that use groestl now use the
faster AES optimized version.

cpuminer-core-avx2 for fx ?
and

cpuminer-corei7-avx for i5 ?

is correct?

AMD users should choose the build that best matches the CPU's features.


amd fx-6300 With which works the short time the miner closes me

and i5 Which one do I choose to put it?

 thanks

If the miner crashes it is trying to use features your CPU doesn't have. Your CPU apears to have AVX
but not AVX2. As a general rule use the fastest build that doesn't crash.

For your i5 it depends on the model number: i5-2xxx sandybridge, i5-4xxx haswell, etc. Again use the build that

Ok, thanks for the clarification , but

gives the best performance and doesn't crash.

Low priced CPUs like Pentium have some features removed so they don't exactly match full featured CPUs
from the same generation. Trial and error is the most reliable way to find the best match.

cpuminer-corei7-avx is the safe bet for those two architectures.
I use this for my 8 core FX 8320.
The next step is cpuminer-core-avx2 but of course AMD FX 8320 don't have AVX2 so it hangs and closes.
i5 is another thing. The first i5 didn't had AVX. Try them with this bat:
Code:
cpuminer-corei7-avx -a cryptonight  --benchmark

Change the kernel cpuminer-corei7-avx to any other and see the results.
