I've got an unoptimized version up here:
https://github.com/ocminer/cpuminer-veriumHowever, there is no working testnet, so it's hard to tell if its working now as diff is already sky high and someone most likely has an optimized version or even a GPU miner. I've had it running for about 10 hours on a 16 CPU VM but couldn't found a block - however also no rejects, so I cannot say that it's working or not.
If I have some extra time I'll try to get testnet running again and debug more.
The miner will take ages before it prints first results as the huge memory page has to be filled at first, don't worry, just let it sit.
This codebase is the same as the wallet so I wouldn't expect any issues. There isn't a way to make a faster GPU miner with the current ram as they have now. Since each thread requires at least 128 MB of ram, and the best GPUs have 8GB, you could only run at most ~80ish threads instead of the 2500+ you can for standard scrypt and it ends up being slower than a CPU thanks to poor GPU branch prediction, clocks, etc.
It might be possible to optimize the CPU miner, but we already optimized the low hanging fruit with compiler and CPU extension optimization.
Good work, though. Thanks for doing this.
Also, to clarify, does 16 CPU VM mean 16 cores or 16 logical hyper threaded cores? What hash rate are you getting?
not bad after 2 days after release
