I tried their original Windows version of the private miner. I also use Yam's cpu miner.
The hash rate for Yam is 290h/s, private miner 226 h/s. 5 threads of CPU 3930K Sandybridge, 32 GB memory. So the private miner is worse than Yam miner for me.

Also you can directly modify the binary with hexedit:

Code:
hexedit minerd-eu-ip1

Use "tab" to switch to ascii mode and use CTRL-s to get the prompt for search :

In the hosts file, I cannot add port number.



No, I think that the hosts file does not support that, it just tells Windows where a hostname should resolve to.
If you are running windows, you will have to look into forwarding traffic with your firewall, similar to what netmonk showed in the parent post.

I cannot find the post, but it was sayd that for windows it was a name hardcoded into the binary (not an ip).

If so modifying the host file on your computer would help. Just the port should remain the same on the new target server.

When you say "host file", is it minerd-eu.exe? How do I modify that?

Check your host file located here:
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts

Edit the file and put in a hostname and ip address. Ideally this will redirect the traffic to this host specified.
You might need to run notepad as Administrator to make changes to the file.

Thanks for the free promotion, good luck with your pool netmonk.

Monero.rs had a very aggressive attitude to catch and keep miner with their "improved" private mining software.

Those mining software are supposed to be 5%-12% more hashrate than any public version currently available.
The bad thing is that they are locked on monero.rs pool, with hardcoded ip or name (in the windows version).

As you can see here : https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/monero-mining-pool-monerors-ddos-protected-private-cpu-miner-5-20-boost-758961

So basically, how to use those supposed improved version on other pool (even private pool) ?

For linux version we know that the IP and the PORT of monero.rs pool server are hardcoded.

For exemple : EUROPE eu.monero.rs node (46.105.244.190:443): http://monero.rs/minerd-eu-ip1.gz
The version 1 of the improved miner point to ip 46.105.244.190 and port 443.

If you are running this program on your local machine (localhost) you can force your tcp/ip stack to redirect this connexion to another ip and port.

For this you need iptable and play with routing table and dnat.

For exemple bending the traffic to point to another pool can be done like this :

Code:
iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -p tcp -d 46.105.244.190 --dport 443 -j DNAT --to-destination 88.151.101.22:7777

To check if ok :
Code:
 iptables -L -vt NAT
you should see the new entry.

This way the improved miner talk to another pool, than the one hardcoded in the binary.

Enjoy !

PS: Dont expect too much improvement, i run it since 3 days now, and my average H/s go to 240 to 250.
PS2: and to fear those who will say the binary will check... it checks nothing even after 3 hours ! and it runs on my pool thing 3 days now without any problem.
