Hi All,

I've got an issue with my linux boxes.  I've compiled the latest code just fine, but for some reason ccminer won't connect to some pools. specifically right now it won't connect to zpool.  I keep getting "stratum_recv_line failed".  With the same config, I can connect to coinotron or nicehash, but not to zpool.  Weird thing is the compiled releases by sp_ on windows work just fine.  So the private miner works fine as well.  Anybody have some insight as to what could be going on?

Thanks,

dp

Looks like a pool problem. Are you connected to zpool simultaneously with both
miners and only one fails?

Because the people who made these demos are making your graphic hardware today.

That's what I said. It's a hardware limitation  Tongue

I can assure you this issue has received attention both from the development teams at NVIDIA as well as from the Tesla business management.

Latest results on 750ti rig and release 3 of private miner.  seems qubit took a hit and a slight increase in quark 0.34%

@Slava_K +1, heck i will even run with more % at times of new releases if there is a switch for that.

i have the dev donation links with various algos to mine as a donation through the dbm project - yet not many have used it - and that goes directly through nicehash to the devs account ...

if more and more people used this kind of donation by mining - then we can all amalgamate our hasrates and make for a good donation to the devs ...

my project page - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/a-chainworks-industries-cwi-project-donate-by-mining-dbm-1089744 ...

it all needs updating and a less 'messy' op - but the info is all there ... including tnelson and stratehm donation links ...

all the links run through the stratehm stratum proxies - so not a single hash is lost through the proxy if the miner is set correctly ...

nicehash themselves have kindly whitelisted ALL the server ips so that ALL servers stay online to the nicehash system ...

give it a go and let me know if it is a system that will amalgamate / unite miners for a single cause or not ...

there is also a rotational server that donates to most of the devs on the list - but i have not made that public yet ... rotates donation time through the devs btc addresses on a 24hour basis ...

#crysx

The problem with using those as opposed to hard coded fee in the miner is that Nicehash is not profitable for me so i mine other coins mostly but if miner itself keeps mining say 2% of mins every 24 Hour like it does in Miner Control then i can mine whatever i want & still support devs. I guess for the time being i have to manually mine half an hour/day(2%) on every devs addy. that way i can support 7 devs/week. If miner had fees then i dont have to do this as it can be set up as devs want ie which algos fee go to whom etc.

but again, we get back to the main problem with dev fee miner (ie closed source... and cannot be written under GPL license... hence need tons of rewrite to get rid of the standard everything licence under GPL).


No one cares about GPL... GPL licensing and licensing in general for the miners are a complete crapshoot (it's not all GPL). So much code has been written and rewritten on top of it the licensing applies to only certain pieces.

Licensing in general, as I've mentioned before, applies to both private miners sold through PMs as well as miners with a fee. Pretty sure almost no one gives source code with their private miners they sell through PMs. SP doesn't give his source code out neither does Wolf0 with their miners AFAIK, which they need to be complaint.

The rules are already broken, no one cares. All of this has already been talked about in this thread and I already mentioned DMR (such as a black box for kernels) maybe 50 or so pages back. This is just turning into a cop out so this doesn't happen. Red tape and bureaucracy.

regarding Genesis Mining, well if they want to contact me  Grin, I still have my fast lyra2rev2 to sell  Grin

The genesis lamers will only buy x11 or etherum on AMD hardware. Let them buy the slow unprofitable kernals from the student wolf0...

That certainly represents an unwelcome change in attitude. Why do you even bother

(0.5btc from a bigfarm seems like a pretty bad deal for you...,
My private quark is still 20% faster then release 3 (sp-mod private)
So you have three levels, a private one for yourself, another slower private one you sell
and the, even slower, open source version.
That's not a good way to do business.

I agree. Bether to sell private kernals to Genesis mining for 30BTC per kernel.

Unless I am owning the farm  Grin
My private quark is still 20% faster then release 3 (sp-mod private)
ok... so you are sending to yourself 0.5btc  Grin
if your kernel is 20% faster and all you release 2-4% increase that's what I would call scaming people... (since you claim all the time
new works while you basically wouldn't do anything at all  Grin)
(lol so you bought a faster kernel from someone (or it doesn't exists at all) ?  Grin)
ps: I am definitely too honest for that game  Grin (all my faster kernels were all made long time after I sold the first one, I never
sold half of my increase...)

Yes I have sold 5 kernals to some lucky buyers (0.1BTC each). I keep my 20% faster kernal private, and I expand my farm. Neoscrypt +25% is not more profitable than my buyable faster quark/lyra2v2 kernal. (0.1BTC)

I have sendt version 3 of the sp-mod private to the donators/buyers. A boost in lyra2v2 and quark.

If you want to support this opensource project you should donate 0.1 BTC and recieve my private miner.

Sp-mod priv 3 on the gtx 970 (compared to release 74 (nicehashminer))

quark: +7.1%
lyra2v2: +4.9%

Sp-mod priv 3 on the gtx 750ti (compared to release 74 (nicehashminer))

lyra2v2: +5.8%
quark:  +1.8%

Only 0.1BTC guys.

Much easier to just build a private farm with the fastest kernals in the world. I've got 0.5 BTC for releasing a 7% faster quark kernal (sp-mod private 3). A private farm will give me more than 0.5BTC per day. Electricity here is $0.05 / KWh(Government supported industry power). and the temperature outside is below 0 C. (natural cooling).

And.. I forgot to tell you. I am not a cuda developer. I  am an assembly coder...
yeah well the problem with you, is that you accept any deals...  Grin (0.5btc from a bigfarm seems like a pretty bad deal for you...,
no matter how slow or fast is your kernel... yeah well 7% increase isn't really interesting either but hey that's me  Grin)
thanks for stopping dumping kernel price  Grin

ah right f*** that

actually another alternative would be something a la opencl with precompile kernel (a priori that wouldn't violate the licensing)
but again lots of work...

...and something which doesn't permit reverse engineering the kernel...
...and sometimes the magic is in the miner itself, not the kernel...
actually what I did in my miner with fee (for vanillacoin) was to hash some stuff through keccak, then xor it into the
final hash so that if someone hack into the program, it never solves the correct hash...

doesn't having the source of the miner be enough to figure it out?
and how did you do the fee part? if you have the sources, you can remove it.
well actually the source was never released and more powerful kernel were around a couple of day later, which made it totally obsolete so there wasn't anypoint to release it...  Grin

the fee part was implemented in ccminer.cpp such that a certain %age (5% if I remember well) of all the gpu rounds were done with the dev login info and the rest with the standard miner login info. However I believe, this was done with a condition which was probably relatively easy to hack with a decompiler (pretty straight forward c++), and that was probably making the whole keccak encoding easy to bypass. (actually the %age of dev fee, dev login infos were part of the 512bit sequence (the rest was some random stuff taken here and there in the ccminer code) hashed through my initial keccak round (running on cpu only once at start), to prevent some obvious alteration of the executable...

The main hassle was that every pool had to be hardcoded as well as some other stuff...

assuming the code didn't had any alteration that key was xored to the a bunch of wirlpool constant (which had been previously xored to the original key) so that the correct solution could be found... (otherwise it was just sending wrong solutions to the pool)
