dont waste your time i see no difference Wink
joblo one maybe but where is the code ?

You see no difference? What CPU?

i7 4770K ... 160H/s like the previous one ?

Odd - everyone else sees a difference...

No; I didn't add support for non-AES-NI, since it's kind of pointless to mine without it.

Greetings. I realize the prize has been taken but I have something that may be of interest.

I have been developping an optimized CPU miner for a couple of months (see sig) and have
now implemented hodl support. My hashrate on a i7-6700K is around 400 H/s. This seems to be
quite a bit better than some others I've seen. It will be available in v3.1.10 very soon.

It will only be available as source compileable in Linux. I know there is a lot of demand for Windows
but that's not my thing. Anyone is free to grab the source and try to get it working for Win.

I'm not doing this for money but if my improvements are significant it might be worth something.
There could also be motivation for someone else to get it working on Windows.

Edit: Also with without AES_NI

Do your miner can find any blocks in solo ? Cause since i start tested it always orphans with total of 700 H\s
Actually i tryed it earlier and waiste 3-4 days with same results.

I got this in logs

Code:
[2016-04-25 13:07:18] accepted: 0/1 (0.00%), 171.26 hash/s (booooo)
[2016-04-27 07:06:08] accepted: 0/2 (0.00%), 173.64 hash/s (booooo)

Still a little early to set it in stone, but getting somewhere between 80%-100% increase in speed (60-70 v 120-140) on my fx8350. Wolf, you are a fiend my friend. Good work as always.

[edit 1] after a bit now cooking its settled down to ~100

I have an 8320 and was doing 120 (settled) with the wallet miner, slightly modified; 100 before modifications.
I guess it isn't optimised for AMD but just for Intel.

Just to be sure, I'm using an i7-960 cpu quadcore. Anyone know for sure that cpu has no AES-NI?

Thanks in advance.

is the pool code shared ?

i've many rejects on the "only" pool available, maybe i could implement it in yiimp to compare and understand the problem(s)

I started to dig this algo, and seems very hard (or impossible ?) to code on a gpu... due to the aes encryption...

I studied a possible gpu implementation. Totally removing the 1GB scratch buffer and generating the sha512 data on-need, the cpu implementation slows down to about 50%. That solution may be suitable to a gpu implementation as it may fit all the data into registers and local ram and/or cache. It is also more easily integrated into existing miners because you can keep the usual "one nonce per gpu thread" setup (one "aes search" per nonce? why not!).
If you want to use the 1gb scratch buffer solution, you need a heavily modified miner because every gpu thread will not work on a different nonce but on a different "aes search".

Glad to help.  I posted the addresses on the pools main page, https://hodl.blockquarry.com

Both portions of Hodl can go to the 1 address, no need to separate.  Probably will put the other half into a long term deposit anyways as well but not quite sure yet on the time frame.  

Cool. HOdl bounty paid - was nearly 6,000 including all the interest. Sam will send the BTC bounty shortly.

Thanks again and congratulations.

pinwc4 - question for you, does this require any custom pool software, or custom modifications to pool software. Can anybody set up a pool, or do you have proprietary software running on the back end?

We are using NOMP and MPOS for the pool but it did require some minor customization.  Most coins use an 80 byte header but this one is using an 88 byte header.  If you look in cpu-miner.c you can see he had to alter what is sent in stratum to accommodate the 88 byte header so the extra two fields of extranonce2 and ntime are included in what is sent to the miner.  

Maybe other stratum servers would send across the larger header without any changes, I do not know, we mostly stick with NOMP for stratum which does not.  

Other than that it is standard stuff for getting it into NOMP like other new coins, add in the hash algorithm to multi-hashing so NOMP can use pattern_verify to verify incoming hashes.  

Thank you for the additional details.

Again I appreciate your efforts and consider this to fulfill all the requirements of the bounty. Could you publish the 2 addresses you'd like to receive the bounty at on the website - just so I can be sure I'm sending it to the correct person.

Note: As per the bounty terms, 50% of the Hodl will be immediately available and 50% will be placed in a 1 yr term deposit - you can supply 2 addresses if you'd like them separately.

We have completed a pool for HODL for the community to use.  So far it seems to be somewhat popular, we see over 400 active works on it.   

Register here to use it: https://hodl.blockquarry.com

The source has been posted here for now: https://hodl.blockquarry.com/downloads/hodlminer.tar.gz

A Windows binary has been built but we are more Linux people than Windows so it needs optimization, give this a try: https://hodl.blockquarry.com/downloads/hodlminer.zip

Good luck

Actually the absence of a cpu miner is what made the launch so fair (besides the sane specs chosen by FreeTrade). I enjoy the pool-free time.  Wink

Yes. It's like the good old days. One wallet for everything. Only issue is rising difficulty because of the VPSes. I think it would be lower if there were no "mineraddress" option available.

Q: What is the official animal of HOdlcoin?
The squirrel is the official animal of HOdlcoin. The squirrel is the animal kingdom's natural HOdler.

Okay, maybe I'll look into it if I have some time. But no promises.

what if I threw in a hug and a kiss?

still open

I like hugs, but Wolf doesn't like to be HODLed.

Oops - yes, the block header has two additional values -

    uint32_t nStartLocation;
    uint32_t nFinalCalculation;

The miner sets both these values when it completes a search space, then the block header is hashed and if that hash falls below the diff, it's a valid new block.

Wolf, I guess you don't want to be hodled against your will. That's fair enough. How about if I offer to put in a base price of .0001 BTC for upto 4000 HODL? So if you want to offload them right away, you've a guaranteed minimum offer of .4 BTC for them. Good for a week - and if you get a better offer, you're fee to take that instead. Hope this can get us past the hodl up.

Half a BTC honestly isn't much for the amount of work... but hell, I guess I need SOMETHING else to do while my chip designs synthesize. I guess I can work on it, but I'll probably need your help with how building blocks works.

Cool! Happy to help. The only difference from Bitcoin is with the added interest . . . so rather than using the input's nValue as its final value, we calculate its value by adding interest to it first -

CAmount nTxFees = view.GetValueIn(tx,nHeight)-tx.GetValueOut();

Ok, thanks, I think I understand. Our major innovation is that outputs can be larger than inputs as interest is added based on the age of inputs and some other rules. So I guess that would need to be added in. I'm now wondering if it would be easier to add pool polling/share submits to the wallet, rather than adding algo+block creation to cup miner. Not concerned about miner performance so much as ease of use and reducing variance for new users.

Not really - you see, as long as the transaction HASHES remain the same, and the block format is the same, and the merkle root is generated the same way, you should be mostly good. Still a good chunk of boring work, but less HODL-specific work.

Hey Wolf, yep,

Proof of Work

1GB AES Pattern Search POW. Pattern Search involves filling up RAM with pseudo-random data, and then conducting a search for the start location of an AES encrypted data pattern in that data. Pattern Search is an evolution of the ProtoShares Momentum PoW, first used in MemoryCoin and later modified for use in CryptoNight(Monero,Bytecoin), Ethash(Ethereum).  CPU/GPU friendly.



Oh HELL the fuck no. You don't have getwork in there - there needs to be a serious bounty before I implement GBT for this thing.

Thanks for taking the time to look over the code and giving us your opinion.

I apologize if I came off as abrasive - it's just that GBT can be a LOT of boring work if the block format differs from Bitcoin's in ANY way, including how you build it.

Yes, a little curt maybe Wink But appreciate your insight as I don't know the ins and outs of GBT. I've tried to ensure minimal changes from the Bitcoin format, but there are some. I'm not in a position to know if they affect GBT.

Well, let me put it this way. GBT doesn't give you work. It gives you the tools to make your own work. Transactions, the current prevhash, the network's target, how much of the nonce you're able to change, and other rules for block creation. Then, as a miner - go nuts. You wanna make your own TX and stick it in? You can. Wanna fill it with custom data - I did with with GRS using GBT - have fun. So anything changed from the block format, the merkle root calc, ANYTHING - will have to be compensated for.

Thanks your for your professional opinion on this. I speak on behalf of the HOdlcoin team when I say we are disappointed that you don't find the project interesting. Perhaps if the bounty accumulates or the value of HOdlcoin become less opaque, that might change. On the technical points, I think mmcminer is nearly already a getwork capable miner, but as we're forked from .11.2, getblocktemplate is required. As GBT supports free mining, it is more in keeping with distributed and participatory aims of HOdlcoin.

I'm all in favor of GBT - just that it's far from simple. If I have some time, I may look into it.

Update: This task has now been successfully completed and the bounty has been paid.


I'm setting up a bounty fund for a completed CPU miner for HOdlcoin on behalf of the HOdlcoin team.

We're looking for a CPU miner to help get mining pools started. The job involves updating a cpu-miner to include the HOdl algorithm and producing a windows and linux binary that can then be used with standard pool software.

Preferred solution is as a pull request to

https://github.com/HOdlcoin/GOdl

(fork of tpruvot/cpuminer-multi)

The bounty fund is at

HGoDLMxjWsuLfq3mEBJL463KwVMtcD6d32
http://www.tekyexplorer.xyz/hodl/address.php?address=HGoDLMxjWsuLfq3mEBJL463KwVMtcD6d32

Bounty will be paid on completion

50% as an immediate payment
50% as a term locked deposit (matures in 1 year at approx 40X amount)

Anybody can add to the fund, just send funds to the address above.

Update 1:
I'm putting in a floor of .00010000 for the first 4000 HODL of the bounty - if the price falls below that, I'll purchase up to 4000 at that price from the winner.

Update 2:

Sam has added a BTC Bounty - to be stored at

1BountyELvhYAqKFPr6aFCBKyAJTjywoqW
https://blockchain.info/address/1BountyELvhYAqKFPr6aFCBKyAJTjywoqW

Winner will receive both bounties and anyone can add to either bounty address.
