OpenCL miner
Fixed the Linux build. At least you should be able to build it now - I don't have a system to test mining

https://github.com/mbkuperman/boolberry-opencl

Just saw this a bit ago. Thanks. I got floating point exception on one machine. I'll try it on another where I got it to compile before and see if it still runs.
Yep, on my AMD cards it works fine. I get floating point exception on my nvidia. It's a 650 Ti.

Anyone else with wallet not connecting to network?
Software version:0.2.0.27(7460089)
qt-boolb.txt file: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/a2802c963d56f7cc59ad

It works for me on Win7. That looks like firewall issue.

Pulling 530khashes on my gpu, I have no idea how people can afford to sell at this price let alone anything below .001.

Concur that the OpenCL is for real. He spotted, for example, the round constant optimization, which I don't think I'd seen in the wild before unless it was in one of otila's patches.

I noticed that round constant thingie on Jul 15 but it is more of a cleanup than an optimization.
However, I have a real optimization not yet published, increases speed from 121 khash/s to 252 khash/s on Sandybridge 4-core (with cryptozoidberg/cpuminer-multi).

I wonder if we've hit on the same one...

actually means selected OpenCL platform has 0 GPU devices. It happens if you installed CPU only OpenCL drivers from Intel or AMD. It should be gone after you select nvidia platform. Anyway don't change device_index - it doesn't make any sense. So if you tried everything - reboot.

So "platform_index": 1 should be ok?

We certainly need more promotion. We have been spending a lot more time with this recently. The easy-to-understand presentation was just one piece of promotion.

Anyone that wants to help is welcome to do so. If you want to write something and have us check it over, let me know. Go over to our SubReddit, subcribe and make a post. If Twitter is your thing, follow us and retweet something.

Considering promotion, i just wont to point out that average new user will not be familiar with BTC and concept that merchant (or whom ever he pays something to) can see content of his address will be strange to him. Average new user will much more easily accommodate to BBR as it is just like something he is used to: cash - public when needed and private otherwise. Anything more than that may be too much for a new user. This is not offc important for exiting BTC users, but they may be in minority in a while.

I ran the zip and all files through virustotal. They appear to be clean.

Virustotal is worthless - the source is real, though.

Concur that the OpenCL is for real. He spotted, for example, the round constant optimization, which I don't think I'd seen in the wild before unless it was in one of otila's patches. I haven't looked through the rest of the code to check for any unexpected changes, though, which someone who's feeling very paranoid might do. A diff against the main BBR source should be sufficient.

I did that round constant optimization too. While the code isn't excellent, it's a lot better than the normal garbage you see around.

Wolf0 you made your version? i know you from other miner and im sure you can make this work good

Yeah, I have.

Try to change the platform_index to 1. Set device_index to 0 if you have 1 GPU.

It supports JSON RPC protocol, connect to boolberry.extremepool.org:1111 if you really need pool.

Open source Boolberry OpenCL miner
https://github.com/mbkuperman/boolberry-opencl.git

Read README.md for details and build instructions.

Windows x64 executables:
https://github.com/mbkuperman/boolberry-opencl/releases/download/v1.0/BoolberryOCL-20140719.zip

2% developer donation (you can change or disable it in the configuration file)

Solo version: boolbd.exe (best performance/reliability)
Pool (JSON RPC) version: simpleminer.exe (please, use solo version if you can!)

Personally, I think it doesn't make any sense to use pools while the block value is about $7. Just give enough time to the solo miner.

Tested on AMD GPUs only!

Expected performance:
6870, R270x - 500-600 khs
6970, R280X - 900-1000 khs

OpenCL code is available under the terms of the GNU Public License version 3.
Author: Mikhail Kuperman ([email protected])

BTC donation address: 1Lns6UjL3sw77DJ5z1EKJZy6SnqriqvVGK

Can someone post an example start line?

Man, this whole thread is about GPU mining esoterics...
Hash power is probably the least of BBR's problems.

You have a better coin and network than Monero...
The tx size issue seems under control unlike Monero...
But BBR has now collapsed by 50% relative to XMR and sits at a 7:1 ratio.

You REALLY need to get a journalism type = a writer...
To spend 10-20 hours/week writing promotional material for BBR...
And send it off regularily to the Alt Coin press.

Doesn't your Ivory Tower university have a Journalism Faculty?

We certainly need more promotion. We have been spending a lot more time with this recently. The easy-to-understand presentation was just one piece of promotion.
