I don't know if this is the right place to post this, but do you guys think it's absolutely necessary to learn how to learn linux and command lines to run nodes/mine for Monero? Is there going to be an easier GUI that allows nodes to be run automatically on a Windows or MacBook? I don't know if it's necessarily essential to install Linux or not, because I'm still having trouble running all of this on my two computers I have.

Absolutely necessary? No.

I'm an idyot and have mined and run a node on my anemic windows machine.

It is my understanding that CPU mining is faster on linux than it is on windows and but unsure about GPU mining.

I have the node on my task bar so one click and it starts right up. A node is difficult for me only because I have 4GB memory and have not upgraded because the database release always seems imminent although obviously not. Sad

I tried once and was not able to get the 0.9 windows beta to run.

As far as command line, I never used it before Monero but if I can write this post I can use CL and have

I don't know why it wouldn't have OpenCL 2.0 headers...

It's because I'm running Debian Jessie. Apparently Ubuntu & Debian unstable has OpenCL 2.0.
I will try to install it manually somehow.

I'm seeing stuff about Aeon show up. Can anyone TL;DR it for me? Or can you confirm that Aeon is to XMR what Litecoin is to BTC?

Aeon is a Monero fork developed with inexpensive mobile devices in mind.

I don't think there is a BTC/xxx comparison to be made. It's understanding a niche and filling it. They very well could have the reciprocal value that many have predicted for Monero and Bitcoin. Though I think Monero is going to be an on-ramp on the road to something much bigger than Bitcoin. I can't imagine the IOT working with the clumsy privacy schemes that the Bitcoin Devs have planned, and don't see the IOT working at all without efficiency and privacy.

Time will tell.

You can think of Aeon as XMR's baby brother. It serves more as an experimental test bed with features that may eventually be incorporated into XMR, such as blockchain pruning and a more mobile-friendly proof of work.

if anybody figures out a command line copy and paste for the deps /packages it would be great if you post them similar to the stuff I aggregated for monero compiling, nvidia compiling etc.

It's the EXACT SAME as CPUMiner, except you don't need cURL.

I must have the wrong OpenCL version or something, I still cannot compile it.

Error:

Code:

main.c: In function 'SetupXMRTest':
main.c:722:8: error: unknown type name 'cl_queue_properties'
  const cl_queue_properties CommandQueueProperties[] = { 0, 0, 0 };
   ^
main.c:732:2: warning: implicit declaration of function 'clCreateCommandQueueWithProperties' [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
  *HashData->CommandQueues = clCreateCommandQueueWithProperties(OCL->Context, OCL->Devices[DeviceIdx].DeviceID, CommandQueueProperties, &retval);
  ^
main.c:732:27: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast
  *HashData->CommandQueues = clCreateCommandQueueWithProperties(OCL->Context, OCL->Devices[DeviceIdx].DeviceID, CommandQueueProperties, &retval);
   ^
Makefile:8: recipe for target 'all' failed

Code:

Package: opencl-headers
Source: khronos-opencl-headers
Version: 1.2-svn26009-1

For what I can gather this is the packages you should install (excluding the AMD driver and minus curl)
sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev libncurses5-dev pkg-config automake yasm libjansson-dev opencl-headers

Sure, compiling instructions right here: make
No, that's it. Clone the git and make.

I missing OpenCL so can't compile it. Anyone wanna direct me to a URL/package name/ guide?
I suspect I could follow a litecoin guide or similar.

Back in the day when I was GPU mining you had to install something called AMD APP SDK or whatever the name was can't remember...

Please just write what dependencies are need and how to get them.
That's all we need for now.

Edit: I'm running Debian Linux.

Ever since I solo mined a block on my DigitalOcean droplet a month ago (30-40 H/s) I've been more interested in mining, but pool mining just doesn't excite me. So I'm very glad to see that solo GPU mining is a goal!

I realized though that with solo GPU mining, we'll lose donations to core that pool ops generally implement. Hopefully Wolf's solo code can include this option, or the core devs will implement it into the general coinbase thinger, because I know this is a R&D goal.

If I do overhaul the pool code, it'd be simple to incorporate it in the solo miner once the pool part is done - just add an output to the coinbase transaction.

Probably better to do some random 1/N donation than bloat every coinbase.

Pretty much done with the custom miner, iDunk on IRC is running a stability test.

EDIT: I should say milestone 2; the performance kinda sucks - needs more work.

Any details on performance? (And cpu load?)

Miner works now; the code for the stratum and general stuff is fully custom, as well. Clears 400H/s on 290X, meeting the first performance milestone, as the OpenCL has been improved.

Here it is: https://github.com/wolf9466/wolf-xmr-miner

Needs a little bit of WinSock code added before it's ready for a Windows build, but that's about it.

Is it possible to upload compiled miner somewhere or give instructions on how can I compile it?
Thanks for the great work!

Sure, compiling instructions right here: make
No, that's it. Clone the git and make.

I'm sorry, but I did not understand!
What is this "make"? No such executable file in you compilation!!!
If you a little more detail!

Make a build utility that uses Makefile as input. You get make as part of your OS (if your OS includes development tools) or along with however you do get your development tools (compilers, etc.) if it doesn't.

I have no compiler on my PC! That is why I asked if it is possible compiled file to get somewhere! Not all programmers are here!
Thanks!

Hi there,

Quick heads up - Doesn't build under ubuntu 14.04 running gcc 4.8 due to a bug in gcc4.8

Code:

main.c:10:23: fatal error: stdatomic.h: No such file or directory
#include

Issue with gcc 4.8 reported here https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58016 (Bug 58016 - stdatomic.h missing in 4.8.1)

Resolution is to upgrade to gcc 4.9 (haven't done this yet - will do when I figure out how to).

Cheers

Dave

*** EDIT ***

Ah Rats, updated to gcc 4.9 but my opencl version is out of date. I guess it's time to upgrade my OS.

Wolf0, what is your build setup, os, etc?
