Topic: Creativecoin (CREA) mining (Read 539 times)

Welcome to the official Creativecoin (CREA) mining thread!

CREA is the first cryptocurrency created and designed to satisfy the needs of all creative communities that produce and distribute digital content. A global currency that doesn’t  belong to any state or government and can be used around the world without geographical or political barriers. The fact of being foreign to the fiduciary system makes impossible to create debt with it and its value does not depend on the intervention of any central bank. CREA uses up to 8 decimal divisible features that facilitates micropayments to all types of content. Transactions are made in real time and they are completed in a few minutes. The coin is designed to be impossible to counterfeit and can not be doubled without the network detecting it.

Mining CREA with Keccak

With the new algorithm change, Creativecoin can be mined with GPU leaving the Scrypt mining with ASIC behind. It is very common to fall into the misconception that Creativecoin [CREA] uses the same Maxcoin block verification system or derived because they use the same PoW algorithm. CREA uses Keccak as a PoW algorithm but also a double iteration of SHA256 (as Litecoin, Bitcoin) to calculate the Merkle Root of each block, while Maxcoin and derivatives use a single iteration of SHA256. This causes that if we try to mine with the default algorithm that comes with Keccak, in the most common pools (like UNOMP) our node will reject the block because the Merkle Root is not valid.

Several projects have been modified to be mined with this new concept, and the UNOMP algorithm module has been adapted to accept this way of mining.


GPU:

GenesisMining’s sgminer-gm software has been modified for GPU mining.

cd sgminer-gm
git submodule init
git submodule update
autoreconf -i //If not work use ./autogen.sh
CFLAGS=”-O2 -Wall” ./configure
make

3 – To install as command:
sudo make install

4 – Mine:
sgminer -k keccakc -v -X 9999 -o stratum+tcp// -u -p x

How to compile ccminer with CREA support for Windows

– Install Visual Studio 2013 → https://my.visualstudio.com/Downloads?q=visual%20studio%202013&wt.mc_id=o~msft~vscom~older-downloads
– Install Cuda Toolkit → https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads
– Clone Repo → https://github.com/EntropyFactory/ccminer
– Open ccminer.sln with Visual Studio
– Choice you Architecture and select Release on toolbar selectors
– Built it with Ctrl+Shift+B
– When the build finishes, your binary will be on ccminer/[x64 or x86]/Release/ccminer.exe
– Now open a cmd and run it with ccminer.exe -a keccakc -o “stratum+tcp://link pool:9150” -u -p x
