Anybody have a link to a Windows 2.4 version with scrypt:131072 support in it?

I have it running on about 7 Linux boxes just fine, but the 2.4 Windows version from Sourceforge generates:

minerd: unknown algorithm -- 'scrypt:131072'

For reference:

minerd -V
cpuminer 2.4
built on May 20 2014
features: x86_64 SSE2 AVX AVX2 XOP
libcurl/7.34.0 zlib/1.2.8

scrypt(N, 1, 1) support was added on may 25, i can't tell if there is a windows build somewhere, but there are building instructions on github.

very nice! but how nvidia to work?

set worker=
set pass=
set opts=--algo=scrypt:131072 -lf5x7 -L6
set url1=http://127.0.0.1:9332
set s1=-o %url1% -O %worker%:%pass%

cd x64

cudaminer %opts% %s1%

Works fine on older NVidia. Use -lt5x7 for Titan class NVidia.

I've found a few blocks, but what do I do now? Are you pushing towards any exchanges or is it going to take a while? Is there anyone here that would like to buy some IMACredit from me?

We are in discussions with C-Cex and Poloniex right now. One advantage of being an established developer is that both exchanges currently list one or more of my other coins. With a bit of luck, we should be up on one or both in a week or two. Maybe. Can't promise something I don't control.

the only problem is it will be like primecoin and mined by botnets and the dudes that run the IT departments at wells fargo and shit, just can't win. if we could just have an asic company that sold shit now and for a reasonable price or some gpu coins that would hold their value against this shitcoin scam infested mess we have now everything would be cool. greedy cocksuckers are the number one problem we have, not algos. but if you can find a way to defeat the scumbags i'm in for sure.

Should I encode a world peace algo as well? With complete freedom and prosperity for all, no government controls, and everyone will be nice to everyone and never take advantage of the gullible. Everyone would, of course, WANT to work full time jobs and will happily do so whether that is flipping burgers or doing robotic design, because that will be the right thing to do for society. We can build home that will last 1000 years, out of rock, so there won't need to be fire department, and safety will be improved. Very sustainable.

Short form: Have a real suggestion?

are you sure it is your gpu ? Mine reported every blocks it found (I can't say precisely it was my gtx660, as I was running a 780ti a 750ti and the 660 at the same time.

well, my cpu wasn't as i know for sure i get the yay from cpuminer:

Code:

$ ./minerd --algo=scrypt:131072 -o 127.0.0.1:30201 -q
[2014-09-06 13:51:11] 8 miner threads started, using 'scrypt' algorithm.
[2014-09-06 13:51:11] No payout address provided, switching to getwork

and the wallet runs with gen=0, so if it wasn't cudaminer, the holy ghost should be the culprit Grin

edit: found another block right now and no output from either miner...

Regarding block being not reported in cudaminer, you need to use -q to remove all the hashrate info, this way you will see the "yay" when a block is found (haven't had any problem at that level)

nope, all output was redirected to a file and there wasn't any yay... however i've also restarted cudaminer with the -q about 4 hours ago and the gpu found a block but nothing new was printed:

cassey, was the launch of this coin even promoted? judging from from current network rate (~8kh/s) 4 days after launch, seems that just 4 cats are mining it...
i never thought i would ever mine with 1/16 of total net hash power with a common desktop Shocked

i get 0.26kh/s out of my gtx660 with k6x11 but no blocks where ever found after several hours...

update: cudaminer works indeed, it just doesn't print out that the block was accepted (the "yay!!!"), i can tell because overnight cpuminer just found 5 blocks, but the wallet shows up 10 mined blocks, so i assume the other 5 were mined by the gpu...

All great news. It was my hope that GPUs would perform at about the same rate as CPUs. Perhaps 5-10X faster, but not 200X like on Scrypt. Seems we are close.

This, of course, leads us to the question of which is more efficient, both in terms of $/hash and Watts/hash. My guess is those are pretty close as well.

Cassey

gpu are not efficient in the sense they are bottlenecked and run at only 50%tdp (hence they practically don't consume anything).
But the problem is I am not sure it make much sense to run a gpu on that coin altogether which leave the coin entirely to botnet and aws, which I don't think is a good idea (but that's my opinion...)

at the same time, the cpu already found 4 blocks with pooler's cpuminer, getting an average of 0.25kh/s out of a i7-3770 (the wallet gives me at most 77h/s).

Very cool. Out of town for the weekend, but will player with cpuminer when I get back. Can you share your startup string for cpuminer?

nothing fancy, just the algo selection: --algo=scrypt:131072

Ok so we are also testing at the moment. Hashrate displays are totally wrong (lowered to fractional diff for testing). If anyone wants to help out let me know

9.1.0 used the standard 4/sec hashrate window and jumped around a lot. Suggest 9.1.1 or 9.1.2 (latest) which uses a 30/sec hashrate window. Not perfect, but a LOT better.
