I've not been able to get this to work on nvidia. Any tips? Specific cuda version required?

I did it, on my 860M.

EDIT: Trick is to define some of the variables it tells you to in the opencl cmake file comments.

hi there ... getting only 2200 kh/s with 2 x 6990 ( they are supposed to run like 4 6970 infact i run 4 threads)

is confirmed the 6970 gets 900 - 1000 kh/s ?

OK. Try to set OPENCL_ROOT as you did before. Don't forget to pull last update from github.

I edit my post above... he founds openCL... but it is still missing.
my compiler seems schizophrenic Undecided

Found out your problem. The code had dependencies on OpenCL 1.2. Removed them. Now you should be able to compile it on OpenCL 1.1 and even 1.0.

Dear mbk,
first - thank you for programming the BBR miner and your support.

but - now compiling stops sooner as before.
and does not find openCL anymore.

On Linux build:
I've updated the README.md some time ago but I'll repeat it here

Code:

Set AMDAPPSDKROOT or CUDA_PATH if they have not been set already depending on SDK you installed.

I tested on AMD but it should work with CUDA too because we need only headers and libraries to build.

Has anyone find a block yet from solo mining? I'm mining with 3.7 Mh/s since the miner was posted here and 0 blocks still at 100% efficiency. Is anyone working on make this work properly with the current pools?

Bitcrea has been finding blocks.

Is that a pool or a person? Is there a pool that can accept this miner properly?

Bitcrea is a Person.

The GPU miner does not work on pools. Solo only for now. We need to add stratum pool support to the GPU miner code.

It's be a LOT easier to just add the GPU miner code to cpuminer instead...

Should be the same setup as AMD. Currently I don't have a Nvidia card to try it out. I just created a bat file to mine with.

I'm mining to pool with simpleminer.

I mined with the simpleminer, but is was hashing at 1/3 of the speed of solo and a lot of rejects on BBR.farm.

Oh ok

I finally found a block 24 hours ago, but it's not showing up in my wallet. I directed the mining address to my wallet.

Surprised that no one has not already implemented it yet.....
