I will match your bounty of 10M MEG for the AMD GPU miner

Thank you. I've updated this ANN and will later update the rest of the pages with this bounty to say 20M

When GPU? and marketing!

I've been reaching out to people to port a GPU miner, but no takers yet. And there is a new logo coming that will be much improved over the current one, along with a bit of a clearer direction on marketing. This should come in a couple days. In the mean time I'm attempting to learn OpenCL for porting a GPU miner myself, but it's terribly difficult. And I'm submitting to lots of exchanges.

It sounds like the wallet that says 9 hours behind has a clock that is wrong.

i did also make sure the clock is right, it is the same time as on the main machine.
heck, i even changed the date/time format in windows to "English (US)" from "German (Germany)" because i suspected that to cause error.

/EDIT: windows was somehow screwing with my region settings, so i manually forced syncing NTP time from time.windows.com...now my computer has some US timezone, but at least the wallet is working. turns out my 4770K didnt find a single block over night (or it didnt mine at all thanks to not being synced?) Sad

thanks for your quick reply tho!

hi everyone,
i'm having problems with the wallet app.

while syncing, it appears to be stuck at "9 hours behind".
i did wait for it to finish over night, which did ofc not happen.
client is getting 6 nodes...internet connection, harddrive (with plenty of free space) and CPU are working just fine.
i also installed the wallet application on my main computer (which is a lot slower than the mining machine i'm having trouble on) which synced completely in less than 2 minutes. i noticed the number of synced blocks is the same on both machines, which to me means that even the "9h behind" computer is actually synced. it still does not show a wallet balance since it's still busy "syncing" obviously Sad

i also tried "reinstalling" the wallet (re-downloaded it, unzipped it again, just to make sure there wasn't an error in that process) and changing the blockchain folder (also deleted the latter one to force a re-sync)

the mining machine uses a clean win7 x64 pro install with all drivers being up to date.

any help is appreciated since i'm out of ideas now Wink

no kidding?

Well now I feel like a dummy.

Thank you for teaching me something today sir.

[edit] Interesting, required libprotobuf to build the qt. Curious, whats the benefit of using this?

I'm not sure of the details, but it was a new requirement of bitcoin 0.9.

Hows about a qt.pro so I can build qt on *nix? (cause my n00b ass does not know how to build without it)

[edit] and what about poloneix?

The instructions are in the README. To build with qt, just do ./autogen.sh and then ./configure --with-gui="qt5"  (or qt4) and then make as normal. The graphical wallet will be ./src/qt/megcoin-qt

I'll email poloneix now about getting listed

Try building from source? It's probably not the easiest thing in the world, but doable all the same

It's really easy if you build locally with cygwin, but there are a lot of restrictions on distributing applications built with cygwin.

I compiled cpuminer on Windows for 64bit using mingw because it'll be quite slow on a processor that isn't 64bit, if not unusable. I didn't bother going through the steps again to compile for 32bit because mining on older computers that are 32bit will be pretty close to useless. I assume that the majority of people with 64bit processors are using a 64bit OS

You must be using a 64bit version of windows and a 64bit processor to use the cpuminer I compiled

Let me know what I can do to help get this to some exchanges. 

Soon there will be a vote on mintpal and you can vote for it Smiley

Also, I submitted to prelude.io. I am pretty doubtful that they will accept such a new coin, but mohland seemed to think I had a chance, so maybe we'll start off on a big exchange which would be really awesome

cpuminer download win7 32bit compiled?

Did you try the one in the OP? I know the link title says x64 but the file name it links to says win32. Might be worth a shot to try it?


I saw a friend but not not work.
I tested the win32 here was not
