How many blocks/day you get with that?

And the improved version posted a page or two ago takes it to 600 kH/s. I can vouch for that figure personally, being the proud owner of one of those machines.

from what i can see, cpu miner takes dual quad xeon l5420 from 290000 to 320000  so a reasonable improvement over the wallet but not a massive amount on ubuntu 64tbit

Nice! Ty!

Hello,

i am curious how hard it is to find any information how mining works on windows for QRK.
I managed to get the Client connected and stated the Client with the conf from first post.
My CPU Load is 100% but even after 2h nothing happend. (at the first start there was a curious thing it showed that i got 4x 2048 QRK from Mining, but they disapeared after the Blockchain was synced :-( )

I remember from other coins that for solo mining a file called minered is needed and for pool mining a special commandline miner is needed to connect to the pool.

That is where i got stuck i searched a lot on google and downloaded the 2 programs and used them like i know it from the other coins.
But it doesnt work because QRK uses other hashing.

Why is there no "getting startet" or a short hint site on that QRK pool, this is very disapointing.
What is the name of the hashing algo used for QRK? (which --flag should be used? its not sha256 or scrypt.)


So the where is the native windows Cpu miner for Pool mining (binary file), what is the name and where can i download it?
(found only linux+sources to compile for windows)

AMD Bulldozer optimized (1st and 2nd gen Miners) - win64

Use bdver1 for generation 1 bulldozers (8150, etc)
 bdver2 for newer generation 2 (8350).

Gen 2 can run either minerd , but you may get small boosts so try both.

Will most likely not work on any other chips!

This code was at least 5-10% faster than previous released bins on BD hardware.

You can specify the port in the options, with rpcport=xxx, i just used 8 9 10 since that was better for my old brain to memorize ;-)

who told you that was the port 11973?

i have 8910 given by the dev?

ah i see i am not using the correct miner that could be a slight issue right there ok i try to get this miner instead, thanks



Ok some progress

i ran it and i see

[2013-08-22 10:35:29] 8 miner threads started, using 'quark' algorithm.


then it stops?  should i be seeing anything else after this or is it mining??

Ok thanks this seemed to help a bit not sure if it is mining i just see lots of instructions about minerd now

my command for minerd
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
im runing from the cpuminer directory

./minerd -a quark -o localhost:8910 -u rpcuser -p rpcpass

Should i just be seeing these kind of instructions or is it mining now and i just can't see it?


this is what i see now

Add "-a quark" after ./minerd

edit; oh you're using a different git, use this one: https://github.com/Neisklar/quarkcoin-cpuminer

Hmmm anyone got an example for linux cpuminer

i have followed this guide

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/qrk-noobproof-vps-quarkcoin-all-in-one-ez-setup-script-updated-264866

which was great and can mine from the wallet. However the script that sets it up leave the username blank in the conf file ?

anyone got a correct config file to use for solo mining with cpuminer  also even the correct port for linux solo mining??


I'm trying to follow this instruction for kingcoin but use it for quark


git clone https://github.com/jgarzik/cpuminer
cd cpuminer
./autogen.sh
CFLAGS="-O3 -Wall -msse2" ./configure
make
./minerd -o localhost:33333 -u user -p pass



So i changed it to

./minerd -o localhost:8910 -u user -p pass

however since the auto install has no username? it will not work.

i used winscp to change the conf file to user=1  password=2

however even this

./minerd -o localhost:8910 -u 1 -p 2

does not work.

Can someone just put an example  conf and example command line for the miner command in linux?

thanks

problem is quarkcoin wont even start with that conf file???

Is it to do with the way the auto script set it up, should i try to manually install quarkcoin from scratch?

p2p pool speed rise from 40mh to 97mh 

QRK "pumped" last night 

Doesn't matter, if you want to better track them use separate addresses.

Accepted: 1/1   

You are kidding me.
EXACTLY this did i already answer to you:
(And its also no the only point here in this thread where i talked about my understanding of the p2pools workings)

Thanks ig0tik3d, worked a treat only took 2mins

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.2974281

since updating to the latest client, its seems very buggy and unstable for me. Most of the payments I have tried to send have ended up stuck in limbo with zero confirms. Re-installing the client and redownloading the block chain but still not getting confirms on the payments ive sent.
Don't seem to have a problem receiving payments though. Anyone else had this problem and know how to fix?
