FLY DONATION ADDRESS IN SIGNATURE
I think we need a promotional team or at least one person, which will organize and handle contests such as signature contest proposed by frontbumper and also promote by any other means.
What do you think?
Do you want to be in Team Spread? Or maybe SpreadTeam? Some better name is necessary I think.

Spreader!

If you are in Team Spread you can call yourself a Spreader!

Hey Spreaders, how's the Spread going?


Hey fellow Spreader Smiley The Spread is going alright but I wouldn't mind seeing that price go back up again Wink But it is also crazy to see that there is someone out there mining a mint of these coins right now Shocked that's insane!!

Decentralize Everything
I'll put a 300 SPR bounty on a miners hash chart.

Here is 2 miners chart: http://104.36.83.126/spreadcoin/
  • network hashrate
  • top miners pie chart (>1000 mined coins)

Nice work! Smiley

Crikey, SNYqcyEtXr5UWpxMds8mQ9x8jo8fWFJVKz must be running several hundred 290's...  Shocked
we really need more promotion to attract more miners to compete with this 700MH/s guy. Grin

Lets just hope lxp15 doesn't fire up their 3.5GH/s rig  Wink

OK got around to testing this on a fresh Mint 17 install.

1. ./INSTALL seems to call the arch scripts or something, I got a load of pacman not present errors.
2. So I ran each sgminer#.in script separately, #1 through #3 deleted all the sgminer scripts so I had to git clone them again each time.
3. Having successfully run them all, started and synced the wallet with the correct stuff in the .conf file, ./spreadgpu (and calling it directly via ./sgminer blah blah) gave me llvm errors:


... I think that any attempt at 1-click in-wallet GPU mining is going to result in never-ending misery, there's just too much to go wrong. Grin
Miner doesn't work with certain Catalyst driver versions. There is some bug in Catalyst, it crashes with "LLVM ERROR: Cannot select". It doesn't depend on whether you are on Windows or Linux, it depends only on Catalyst version.

That's an odd error.... Seems like it could be related to your catalyst install. Two of the scripts check system version using the following command:

$(lsb_release -sc)

It's used to set an additional repository and to build the deb install package for catalyst 14.9. Can you run that command and tell me what it returns?

It returns:
Code:
qiana

... which means nothing to me...  Huh Undecided

Hello All,

I'm happy to report that an automated script is now available for Linux users to get started with!

This package can take a bare installation of XUbuntu/Ubuntu and prep it for Spreadcoin mining. It can also be used to upgrade an existing rig for Spreadcoin mining. It is split into 5 different scripts that are triggered individually by the end-user followed by system restarts. It contains checks along the way to see whether or not an operation needs to happen (specifically, it checks if Catalyst drivers are already installed in step 2).

  • sgminer1.in - installs common dependencies and other updates
  • sgminer2.in - installs Catalyst driver (14.9)
  • sgminer3.in - installs AMD APP SDK 2.9
  • sgminer4.in - compiles SGMiner (spreadcoindx11-sgminer)
  • sgminer5.in - creates batch file for mining

The daemon is quite easy to configure - just copy & paste the following into a terminal window:

Code:
mkdir ~/spreadcoin64
cd ~/spreadcoin64
wget http://spreadcoin.net/files/spreadcoin64.tar.xz
tar -xvf spreadcoin64.tar.xz
mkdir ~/.spreadcoin
cat >  ~/.spreadcoin/spreadcoin.conf << EOF
server=1
rpcallowip=*.*.*.*
rpcuser=user
rpcpassword=pass
EOF
cd /usr/bin
sudo ln -s ~/spreadcoin64/spreadcoind .
cd ~/
spreadcoind

Be sure to read the whole Readme at https://github.com/snogcel/sgminer-install-scripts. I recommend installing the daemon between steps 4 and 5, then grabbing a sandwich / beer and hanging out for 15 minutes before proceeding so that the blockchain can sync ;-)

Tips accepted! ShAbDdueCdVuG3huNG9U2m7XFUqY4Hz9sS

Wow, great work! I shall test it later today. Smiley

Hmm, one miner has 24% of the hashrate.  Interesting.  Looks like we found the dumper.

Nice chart by the way.
No, 24% is just within this top addresses.

To clarify, people brought up the concern that some miners aren't taken into account due to their blocks being sent to a new address each time.  Is this correct or did you find a workaround for that in this chart?
The blockchain dont know which addresses are in same wallet. We can just infer that, after he assemble that coins. like Sfxc14Aj5FHA7cwLqxZyMxdus5CgVxr9Mw.

My mistake.  I thought that address currently had 24% of the hashrate.

Fair enough.  Would you be willing to continue to host all of this?

This guy got another 200+ blocks in the past 1,000 or so.
He's not mining to the address but rather consolidates to the address every 24 or so hours.
He's also increased his blocks at a ridiculous rate. Just 6% of total a couple days ago. 20%+ today.

This might be what happens when rentable mining rigs and pools are out of the picture... One guy with a GPU farm can easily take over.


That's a problem with small valued coins, not with solo mining.

As the coin gains value (as it has) the hashrate will grow (as it has), this guy will be smallfish in two months.

Personally I would gladly rent a couple mega farms to give him some competition but that doesn't seem possible.
Ideas?
