I can't mine while playing all my games on Linux Sad

I get the most H/s at about half my max threads, so 6, which uses 50% of my CPU. So I can happily play Hearthstone, Path of Exile, League of Legends, all that good stuff and I'm mining the whole time. Install Linux, and half my favourite games can no longer be played.

At best I can do a VM, but I gather that doesn't get any increase amirite?

On Windows 7 I get about 5% extra with Claymore's and it takes 5% in fees so for me it's not gaining anything.

I just tipped Wolf a quarter XMR. There's a whole XMR waiting for a Windows 7 hugepages version Wink

I can confirm - i5-2500, new version is 5+% slower

PS: i5-4570 - again 5% slower with 3 threads :/
I have no idea if we should try to enable hugepages on Windows? These are disbaled by default

It'd probably help a lot.

is this faster then claymores cpu miner?? wolf you should try and make a gpu miner thats faster and more stable. 😃

Claymore has a CPU miner? Link me.

I don't see why it would be since it claims 270 H/s on a 4770 and this one claims 300+, and on top of that Claymore takes 5% of your hash rate. I guess Claymore has a fan base though, so perhaps people use it.

His low CPU mode looks interesting though, I wonder what that is doing.

i tried both and for me claymores is giving more stable hashrates win 7 x64

i can vouch for its speed as well and the stability of the cpu miner, gpu miner is a complete differnt kettle of fish, somewhat unstable as it stands.

4770k at stock clocks 250h/s at T-4
2600 non K at stock clocks 234 h/s at t-4

its nothing to do with a fan base, its at current the more powerful miner that supplys the highest output. and yes 5% for cpu and 5% for gpu miner plus pool fee's thats quite a loss on the pocket for smaller miners like myself.....

Well it seems the IC7 diamond paste had dried up in 2 weeks, pretty crap. I added the crap coolermaster paste and its holding at 56 @ 4.4ghz. I read multiple places that 61 or higher on the amd fx isn't good.

Ditch that EVO cooler and grab yourself a Silverstone TD03 or the nearest water cooler that you can fit in your case (they are all different, make sure it fits before you do it). Once you have that, your temps will be so much lower for everything you do. 60c isn't bad on those but 65c is shortening the life span. You should be able to keep it lower than 60 almost indefinitely, especially with this miner which doesn't even pass 45c on my 4930k.

I can't get stratum to work from Windows regardless of what mining software I use. On the same internet connection it works fine for Linux.

On Windows using the command format:

minerd -a cryptonight -o stratum+tcp://mine.moneropool.org:80 -u YourMoneroAddress -p x -t 4

I get this error:

[2014-06-09 20:09:15] Using JSON-RPC 2.0
[2014-06-09 20:09:15] Starting Stratum on stratum+tcp://mine.moneropool.org:80

[2014-06-09 20:09:15] ...retry after 10 seconds
^C

I suspect it is something to do with Norton Internet Security but I have tried disabling all the options in NIS I can think of. Has anyone else solved this?
Up until now I have been using stratum proxies for other coins, but I can't find one for Monero.

Try moneropool.com?

2 w0lf. by "reverting commits" do you mean decreasing number of hugepages?

No, I mean reversing the latest edits.

So yes linux does give a decent speed boost but since it's also running everything faster it raises the temps up. I have a Hyper 212 Evo and 3 120mm case fans and it doesn't seem to be enough to keep the temps down far enough. Could be the paste not doing it's job but I'm seeing the temps with this cooler are about 8c lower than i was with stock.

62C and you're worried?

I've ran them above 70c for weeks with no issue. Cooler is better of course, but I don't think 60s C for your CPU is bad.

Compiled under OpenSuse13. Its running as the only guest on ESX5 machine, 12 core Xeon 5670
Previous version is making 440-450H/s, this newer version makes 390-410H/s
vm variable was set to 36 (12*3) - sudo sysctl -w vm.nr_hugepages=36

If it's running under a VM, you'll not see much improvement. Also, try playing with the number of threads - I had to reduce mine. If all else fails, try reverting commits one by one. If I get enough people saying a commit is bad, I'll revert it on github.

Can this miner run merge mining without using the crappy minergate.com?
If it can, how do I run it?

I've been making windows binaries, but it seems that everything after the may 28th commit hashes but never submits work with my non-aesNI machine. Could someone verify that the most recent version still works with --disable-aes-ni at least on linux?

Works for me.

I'd give all kinds of naughty favours for win64 binaries. With AES preferred for i7-4930k Wink

Well I was just curious in an actual speed difference. I don't want to install Ubuntu tonight for a 50h/s increase.

We're talking up to 40% - 50%.

Spent forever trying to get gcc sorted out and it looks like i was doing better in windows...

CPU? Did you use CFLAGS="-march=native" ./configure and then make? Also, did you configure the hugepages as detailed in the OP?

cd ~/ && rm -rf cpuminer && mkdir cpuminer && cd cpuminer && git clone http://github.com/wolf9466/cpuminer-multi.git && pushd cpuminer-multi && cd ~/cpuminer/cpuminer-multi && ./autogen.sh && export CFLAGS="-march=native" && ./configure && make && unset CLFAGS && popd

and just now enabled huge pages @ 21.
