is it ever coming to an exchange?

I would like to know this as well.

Same here. Electricity isn't exactly free for most of us.

Krambel's new Miner loaded and pointed at pool.

we now have at least one pool, several miners a Block explorer would be a good Idea. I don't see one listed on OP
a standalone Website would be a nice addition also.

It seems to be working OK on raspi (6 hours now 4660 accepted and only 6 rejects, just stales (unknown-work)). I only ran it for an hour or so on windows (CM1) but that seemed OK. Let me know if there are any issues with it.

There is an unofficial block explorer at http://blakexplorer.dyndns.org:2750/ (the announcement is somewhere upthread), though it could do with an official home.

I'll be offline now until tomorrow.

These are thing that show exchanges that a coin is mature stable and enough of a following that should add it.

I've reviewed kr105's recent change and implemented it in my version of cgminer 3.1.1. It seems to be OK but will need a longer test to be sure the (H-not-zero) errors have stopped. EDIT looking good after 45 minutes on raspi (ztex) and 30 mins on windows (CM1).

The windows exe is at https://www.dropbox.com/s/f34zwu3oek0rj4m/cgminer.exe

I'll update my github (link) in the next few minutes (DONE). The git-pull changes to kr105's version of cgminer 3.1.1 will have to wait until tomorrow as there is quite a lot to do there (need to update the drivers and add in the clock switches).

Awesome work so far thanks for helping  Cool

your pool seems quite stable now ~22GH/s maybe we can get it upto 50GH/s  Grin

No Rush on my part. Smiley

If I see too many errors on pool I'll go back solo. But so far it's not too bad on pool with the kramble miner

I'm losing perhaps 25% of shares (from the stats I checked earlier today, not sure how its going right now). I'll take a look at what's been changed later (Sunday most likely). It may be best if I fork kr105's code, add in my driver changes and git-pull them back to kr105 so as to keep a single consistent code base. Anyway I'll look into it as soon as I find time. Gotta go now. Bye.

thanks kramble no rush  Grin

some kramble magic is needed  Grin

I'm a bit short of time right now, it probably won't be until Sunday before I can devote significant time to this.

The CM1 is fairly easy to fix, just need to use the correct golden_ob/nonce values, see (link) lines 618-625 of driver-icarus.c

The clock switches are a bit more involved. It should work OK without, though CM1 will be a little slow and the ztex may hunt around the optimal clock. Unfortunately it will take more than just copying the driver code into kr105's 3.1.1 as the switches are coded into miner.h and cgminer.c

EDIT. Just did a quick scan through https://github.com/kR105/cgminer-alt and concluded that this will need a fair bit of work to get the ztex to run as there are changes to libztex.c (just the clock defaults, so it may be OK as it is) and more importantly driver-ztex.c where the ztex_checkNonce() function needs to be replaced with the blake hash (just commenting it out may also work, but will probably break the automatic frequency management which relies on HW error counts). It may be worth just copying my driver code over the clean code in kr105's 3.1.1 and fixing up the ztex_checkNonce() which I'd done a quick'n'dirty hack on by moving it into cgminer.c (should no longer be needed if the makefile has been updated so blake is available globally rather than my hack of #including it into cgminer.c).

New version of cgminer, this one is based on cgminer 3.1.1 so everyone with FPGA should be happy now. I updated the code of the 3.9 version just in case someone finds it useful.

Download:

https://github.com/kR105/cgminer-alt
https://www.blakecoinpool.org/cgminer-alt.rar

@BlueDragon747: Please use this links on the OP Cheesy
@Everyone: Stop using the old versions of cgminer, use this one instead Smiley

the clock switches for ztex/cm1 are not working yet and some of the checks also fail on the fpga maybe kramble can help

much better to see binaries and source code Cheesy

I was getting H not Zero errors fairly often. Switched to solo mining.

Still got disconnected on new wallet.
What miner are you using?


no source code update for cgminer  Undecided

no pool support for fpga  Cry

@ALL:
Please download the new version of cgminer from the pool's website: http://blakecoinpool.org/cgminer-blake256.rar and let me know how it goes the H-not-zero issue.


Much better here!
