  • FYI, I managed to rebuild the Bufius cpuminer with optimizations set to -O1 and the resulting binary has zero rejects. Looks like there is a clang optimization problem with cpuminer after all.
  • Ah, I get it. Even though my Mac Pro (5,1) has the same roughly 40 KH/s for the GPU and CPU, the CPU actually has 24 1.7 KH/s workers. And it's because these workers are slow that they can't keep up.

    Looking forward to pooler's …
  • I went ahead and tried the sgminer that you provided. I'm getting similar KH/s out of the GPU as with cpuminer, but with no stales pointed at the same pool. 

    So it's looking more and more likely that the optimization level expla…
  • Ah, with the machines I'm on (that have crappy GPUs) I've been using the cpuminer you posted here:

  • Thanks!

    So you recommend this miner instead of the cpuminer-vert version from your blog?
  • No problem. I'll review the code (which is I think what you're asking). I probably can't spare the time till this weekend though. I'll let you know if I spot anything.

    Thanks for the autoreconf suggestion. It got me further, but…
  • Thanks in advance. I hope that the recompile is not a waste of time.

    I'm happy to test when you have a rebuilt version.

    Note that I tried to build this myself (I'm an experienced Mac developer), but ra…
  • I took a look at the github site, and from there I found the corresponding bitcointalk forum thread. According to this post, there's a problem when building with optimization levels of -O2 or higher under the Lion version of clang that could result …
  • One more quick question. When I run vertminer from the command line it says it's running in "scrypt" mode. Am I supposed to somehow specify that the algorithm is scrypt 2048? Or is scrypt N automatically baked into this version?

  • I'd be very interested in a Mac OS X version of this SPH miner too. Any chance you can pull this off Panda?
  • I'm currently on the TradeMyBit multi pool. It requires setting up workers with names and passwords.

    I am seeing coin accumulating in my TradeMyBit account, so I guess it's working. But I have no idea if it's working optimally.<…
  • Thanks for getting back to me. 

    I'm an experienced scrypt miner (mostly with ASICs) and new to scrypt N, so I'm afraid that I don't know of a better backend miner. Just getting my feet wet here...

    While wait…
