Hi,
I`m trying to mine NeoScrypt coin using ccminer-tpruvot-v2.1. When CCMINER connects to pool i recieve error shown bellow:
============ Starting Miner ===============
*** ccminer 2.2 for nVidia GPUs by tpruvot@github ***
Built with the nVidia CUDA Toolkit 8.0 64-bits
Originally based on Christian Buchner and Christian H. project
Include some algos from alexis78, djm34, sp, tsiv and klausT.

I tried to run ccminer from shell using putty to logon into SMOS miner.

Illegal instruction
root@simpleminer:~/miner/ccminer-skunk-krnlx#
It looks like wrong compilation of CCMINER.
I find something about this in google:
An illegal instruction usually means the CPU hasn't implemented it, often when trying to
ue AES instructions on a CPU that doesn't support AES. In this case it appears these AMD
CPUs don't have the full SSE2 implementation.
Even if there was a way for the compiler to detect this condition the result would be a build
without any optimizations, ie it would be the same as cpuminer-multi.
My recommendation is to use cpuminer-multi on those algos.
So, anybody can help me to start mining neoscrypt coin?
Tom
Hey Tom, I'm having the same issue as you - I haven't found a resolution yet but it seems specific to ccminer.. My post from earlier:
Hey guys, hoping someone can assist here..
In SMOS I cannot mine coins under the ccminer-tpruvot-v2.1 program (using supernova). However, ewbf-0.3.4b works fine for equihash through supernova.
For example my DCR connection in SMOS is:
-a decred -o stratum+tcp://dcr.suprnova.cc:3252 -u user.miner -p minerpw
I receive the error in xminer.sh at line 58: Illegal Instruction $MINER_PATH $MINER_OPTIONS
This connection sting works fine on the rig's linux desktop through ccminer directly when SMOS is bypassed.
I've edited xminer.sh to display the variables, they list as:
MINER_PATH: /root/miner/ccminer-tpruvot-v2.1/ccminer
MINER_OPTIONS: -a decred -o stratum+tcp://dcr.suprnova.cc:3252 -u user.miner -p minerpw
I just upgraded this rig (my first) from one old 960 nvidia card to dual 1060s. The error was present on both configurations, but otherwise mining works just fine for equihash/ewbf when booted from the SMOS USB, but not tpruvot..
