Updated SoloMiner binaries with a up-to-date hash function

THANKS!!!

7x increase on Win7-64 Cheesy

What CPU are you using?

i3-550, 3.2GHz, LGA1156 --> now getting 18-22h per thread

Nice! Getting the same (+/- 5h/s) hashrate on my i7. I suppose there is not much difference between i3-7

You should add instructions for the linux version from the site to the main post. It's not that trivial. Like, at all.

Valid point. Fixed it - thank you.

Cheers.

@ amphibian

Hi there.
I want to try to solo mine FCN with BCN/QCN.

FCN+BCN I managed to start hashing, but hash is rather low for old Intel E5200 (2 cores, no HT) 2,6 H/s... I didn't run a daemon at background. After it, I tried to star FCN+QCN and got the message "no donor block..." again no any daemon in background. Returne to the first case which I managed to start hashing but this time, the same message...

After it I tried QCN and none with quazarcoind running in background and hashing started. Then I tried FCN+QCN and both corresponding daemons running in the background and it started.
Didn't want to start FCN+BCN cause as we all know BCN is memory killer...

So, what's the proper way?
Could you tell me do I need to place SoloMiner in specific diretctory like in donor's or acceptor's?
Do I need to run daemons of any in the background?

From what I've read here, I guess the answers are no on both questions, right?

Hey!

For QCN (and MRO) you pretty much have to start a deamon, since it doesn't have a remote node that you can connect to.

You can safely start FCN+BCN hashing with a remote node tho. There is no need for BCN daemon that eats up all the memory.

Also, you don't have to put SoloMiner in any specific place.

Let me know if you have any more questions.

Cheers.

let's hope MRO and QCN developers will provide you a remote node - that would solve a "memory" problem. (currently it's present only in bcn but who know what future holds)

Is it possible to use this on pool? And if anyone can tell me how to limit simpleminer to certain number of threads? Thanks.

1 simpleminer = 1 core. Launch as much instances as you want cores to be used.

If you meant "SoloMiner", then there is a Thread count dropdown menu.

Regarding the pool question - for now, the answer is no. I'll probably work on that.

Cheers.

My setup (all 64-bit):

Computer 1 (dedicated miner): Ubuntu 14.04 desktop, A8 3.8GHz processor, running daemons for BCN and FCN, and has the wallets for BCN and FCN. No Solominer.

Computer 2: (my home computer): Windows 7 desktop, i3 3GHz processor. Runs Solominer on 1 thread in the day while I'm using it, 2 threads at night.

Computer 3: (laptop): Xubuntu 14.04, i5 3GHz processor. Runs Solominer on 3 of the 4 threads. Mining on a laptop is NOT recommended. The only reason I do it is because I got this one really cheap and it came without a hard drive (runs Xubuntu from a USB flash drive). If it breaks, it breaks.

Repost from the main thread.

I think this is the optimal setup for MM mining, or pretty much every mining. Don't put all eggs in 1 basket! Golden Bitcoin wallet rule applies here too.

No working version for older OS?

I have a server with Windows Server 2003 x64 and cant use this miner Sad

Unfortunately, no, I'm using functions that were introduced only in WinVista and older. Probably you could setup the Virtual Machine and use miner there. (VirtualBox or smth)

Contact me in case of any questions.

Cheers.

Im doing this actually, but only problem is in number of cores.

I have 2 processors each with 12 cores, total 24 cores, but with VirtualBox we can use only 4 cores each VM

Thx for fast reply Cheesy

No problem.

Also, as far as I know VirtualBox can use more than 4 cores. At least I managed to create a 6-core ubuntu14 with no problems whatsoever. I assume you're using 64bit version, right?

Yes im using a 64bit version

VB use max number of processors x 2, so i can use max 4 Sad

Hm. I doubt it, since I was able to start 6-core VB using only 1 processor. Maybe I'm confusing something tho.
