Hacking a bit on CK's cgminer to support the new algorithm. Haven't quite decided how to manage the AMD vs generic versions of scrypt.c in a good way. It gets worse since ICC produces the best scrypt.o for the i7 using the generic version, but binaries produced by the free-as-in-beer license of that compiler can't be distributed. I should count my blessings, at least SolarisStudio and llvm produce utterly crap code compared to profile guided output of gcc and icc so I don't have to worry about that.

I'll have to re-read the license, but I may be able to distribute the assembly output of ICC.

But at any rate, with some luck I should have the AMD/Linux guys taken care of with a nice miner a couple of days after this goes live. Even if they have to pick the version of scrypt.c they like by hand.

So, how much would I be at a disadvantages with my Widnows 7 Intel machine?

Hehe like 3 times disadvantage. I get with my 2600K about 10 and them crappy AMD plastic shit gets 30 WTF !

Here is a thread I started about it on reddit. It got downvoted.

I want everyone to see this and have a fair chance to be an early adopter. I don't remember such a well-planned release schedule with one of the design goals being fairness - if you agree, vote it up.

Your Reddit submission is not even under the /new section anymore: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/new/

I love Reddit, but didn't know you can get "buried" so easily??

Can you guys wait until I finish the website? I've got some minor work left but it's pretty much done.

No problem

./minerd --user 1 --pass 1 --url http://127.0.0.1:9332

There is something on port 19333 when I try nmap and telnet
Any idea what I may be doing wrong?

Try the 9332 I have there the default as listed in first post the 19333 is the port to open in the router to get the connections to other miners for the testnet and you may want rpcport=9332 in the .conf as well just to be sure.

That is how I have it, but I get the same error. My guess is that my ports are closed. With Fairbrix, this was solved with the creation of an IRC channel, I believe.

I did not open any ports when testing and it went fine this was what I have for conf file for the built in miner it worked well.

Code:


miner6@miner6:~/src/litecoin-0.4.0-441/src$ cat ~/.litecoin/litecoin.conf
rpcuser=miners
rpcpassword=litecoin
rpcallowip=*
rpcport=9332
daemon=1
server=1
gen=1
testnet=1

Yeah the built in miner works well, but some people are going to want to use minerd, so it's a small kink to work out.

Wow, beat me to that idea. I'll put up another reddit with a catchier headline tonight if yours stays downvoted. I already had the title in mind, something along the lines of "Did You Miss Out on The Bitcoin Gold Rush? Here is Your Chance Now" or something like that.

Try adding rpcport=8332 to your configuration file and connecting against that port with the miner.

What do you say to the criticism that CPU based crypto-currencies are vulnerable to botnet attacks?

I'll quote the claim from Tenebrix' FAQ:

Quote

I am firmly convinced that botnets, by virtue of need to remain somewhat covert, will not abuse their host machines too heavily with TBX minning, taking spare cycles here and there without encumbering the user too much (otherwise the malware will get noticed and exterminated), and assuming mining is lucrative, will avoid using infected machines for things that are likely to get a FBI clown car visit the formal owner of the infected box (such as transfer of highly illegal materials and attacks against legitimate infrastructure).

I don't know if I'm convinced or not, but it will be an interesting experiment to find out.

Takeown the AppData folder and set Full Control permission.

sometimes windows 7 sucks a lot.

Fuck yes it does. Of course it was something basic, I had to triple check every possible tabbed window with checkbox options to find a fucking Deny permission, really sorry guys, I swear I'll go full on Linux one day, I just don't have the time. Thanks guys.

I just pulled that from Google images, but that is the the window stopping point for me. Folders can be seen. I have show all folders, show hidden files, all that jazz, I am one of those odd computer users that doesn't like my files inaccessible to myself, so I think this is why it is bugging me. If anyone has a direct way to help, I guess PM or something, I don't want to clog up this thread with such a basic seeming issue. Also, can someone say that they can't get this working on their Macbook so I can feel a little less retarded here lol

I fucking hate Windows 7. Only because I don't use it so don't get the little changes still. I have no access to the Application Data folder, and even so the icon is just shortcut to something else. I was reading how Win7 changed the Doc and Settings to Users and other little changes, but it seems one of the changes is I have no actual Application Data folder. Sorry guys to throw this in the thread, if anyone knows the quick easy way around whatever this is, thanks. Otherwise I guess I will just make a master .conf file to copy and paste to every directory till the right one is found :p

I'll be throwing this on an XP machine I guess, but I am curious about what changes Win7 made with all this shit, I am way late to finding all this out lol

do you have [show hidden files] selected in folder properties?

If you like, you can use Administrator account all the time.

I'm doing this since Windows Vista, and have not been bothered by UAC and those sh**ty folder permission things.

---

I mean the built-in Administrator account, not any user created accounts assigned as administrator.

However, the security level will decrease. (anyway who cares on Windows???)

Make sure you are showing hidden files and folders.
