Topic: Issue with cgminer / bfgminer and gekkoscience compac when mining BRK/BRX/SIS (Read 694 times)

Got it working

When I try to connect to it via bfgminer 4.10.0 I get "blktmpl error: Unrecognized block version, and not allowed to reduce or force it".  Do you get that message also?  What wallet version are you running? The latest one from the website?

My breakout.conf:



bfgminer 4.10.0:  



I had the BFL single 30GH.

Hello,

I am hoping I can find help here, I am having an issue with solo mining a sha256 altcoin using cgminer 4.9.2 and a gekkoscience compac.  I am trying to mine SIS coin, which is part of the Breakout Chain.  Its multi-coin / multi-currency chain.  You mine SIS, but also receive BRK and BRX transaction fees from "scavenging".  I know it DOES work in older cgminer versions like 3.1.1 and 3.7.2 using older asics like the block erupters, so why not newer asics?  I am trying to figure out if this is a hardware issue or a software issue.  If anyone out there could make me a custom cgminer from an older version that works and add gekkoscience support, I'd be willing to donate!

I did a little cpu mining with https://github.com/bitblockproject/Bitblock-CPUminer and it worked just fine, I found 3 blocks, but I think I was just lucky.  I am using one system to host the wallet, and other systems mine directly to it via LAN.  I have also tried running the wallet locally on the machine with the Gekkoscience stick and same issue.

The gekko science sticks are only supported on 4.9.2 version of cgminer, when I look the README for on older cgminer, like 4.1.0, I don't see the --btc-address parameter listed, so It must be something newer.  It appears to accept my SIS address in place of the BTC address.  ck said it can be used for any sha256 altcoin, although its not offically supported, but maybe its choking because of BRK multichain/multicurrency block chain.

 When I use a recent version of bfgminer I get an error saying "Unrecognized block version", and it won't mine.  I assume becasue BRK is an older fork of bitcoin and isn't up to date with its block version?

I am running the wallet on OSX and the miners on Linux.  Both have firewalls turned off.  I do NOT have my wallet p2p port curently open on my router. I have tried both open and closed, and got the same results.

Here is my wallet conf:

rpcuser=brkrpc
rpcpassword=password
daemon=1
server=1
listen=1
rpcallowip=192.168.50.*
rpcallowip=10.0.1.*
rpcport=50542
debug=0
defaultcurrency=BRK
defaultstake=BRX
testnet=0


Here is my cgminer batch file comand:

cgminer.exe -o http://192.168.50.103:50542 -u brkrpc -p password --btc-address (My SIS Address) --scan-time 2 --expiry 2 --queue 0

If I dont use the --btc-address parameter, here is what I see:



In cgminer this is what I see sometimes with the rejected blocks, no idea why it would fail to comminicate:



This is what I see all the time, it looks like I found the block before anyone else because the block height doesnt change, however its invalid:



Ideas?  Thanks for your time!
