creepMiner - C++ Burst Miner (based on Uray's Miner)



  • Hello,
    I have been trying to use this miner and it appears to look through the plots ok but never seems to find or upload a DL?
    I have tried with a target deadline of 20 days and now with a target of 3.
    I am mining around 10TB on a cloud account and using netdrive to map the cloud to a local drive letter
    Any ideas?

    Hi @scprv55 and thank you, hope you like the miner :)

    The error you see is on the server side (502 Bad Gateway) - most likely the server is under heavy load or under a DoS attack.
    It can be, that you will get 9 from 10 times an error, and 1 time the actual mining info. As long as you get it, everything is ok.
    If you really want to, you can change "miningInfo" : "http://pool.burstcoin.party:8081/" to another location that is not under heavy load (for example https://wallet.burst-team.us:8125), but then it can be, that your mining info is not in sync with the pool.

    To activate the webinterface you need to change "serverUrl" : "http://192.168.0.100:8080" to your local ip. If you want to use it only on the computer where the miner is running, you can use localhost:8080 (or some other free port instead of 8080).

    Thanks Creepsky, yes I like the miner very much :-)

    Maybe not the right place to ask this but when I'm mining what do these numbers mean 5D + 199 ?

    Thanks for clarifying to use localhost for the web interface.



  • @scprv55 I assume you mean the numbers on the pool website.
    It looks like this:

    nU + nQ + nD + n

    U: sent, but not confirmed yet
    Q: will be sent later
    D: not enough yet to payout, need to mine more (or longer)
    n: total sent and confirmed



  • @machasm hard to say, did you try version 1.6.0 (development-branch)? If you are on Windows, I can compile and upload the newest version.

    Thanks Creepsky.

    I've done my plots and optimized (most of) them, but to be able to optimize I had to do the plots in small sections rather than plotting each drive as one big plot.

    I've got 3 HDs, and they are all pretty slow

    12:52:19: Dir /media/sean/1TB Internal/plots read (4 files, 870.00 GB total) in 3.477s (~62.55 MB/s)
    12:52:19: Dir /media/sean/500 GB External/plots read (3 files, 460.00 GB total) in 3.762s (~30.57 MB/s)
    12:52:21: Dir /media/sean/2TB Internal/plots read (6 files, 1.49 TB total) in 5.350s (~71.26 MB/s)

    Would it be better to plot each drive as one plot and not bother with optimizing? Or doesn't it matter that the drives are made up of smaller plots?

    @Creepsky45 thanks for providing this miner :) Finally yesterday I got to try it for the first time and I like it :) CreepMiner.exe works quite nice. However if I run the creepMiner-cuda.exe I get an error when a nonce is found and doesn't get submitted, which I find strange given the fact that with CreepMiner.exe this doesn't happen.



  • @vExact the CUDA code is still experimental but it should show the same result. What graphics card do you use?



  • @Creepsky45 I have an Nvidia GeForce GT-630M. It comes with my spare laptop I use for Burst mining alone.

    btw I have been lately using your miner :) I would upgrade to the newest version for windows in case it becomes available.



  • @vExact actually I uploaded it today: https://github.com/Creepsky/creepMiner/releases/tag/2.6.0.
    But there is no cuda version in it at the moment.



  • @Creepsky45 thanks! I actually saw it after having posted my previous reply :)



  • @Creepsky45

    When will the latest version be available for Linux 64bit?

    Thanks!



  • @scprv55 I will add it soon (Ubuntu 64 bit).



  • @Creepsky45

    Thank you Creepsky!

    Can I ask another question, I'm CPU mining with an i7 and 3 drives (2 internal) 1 external (usb2).

    I have forged 2 blocks in just over 2 weeks but most of my deadlines are being found at 20+ days or longer.

    Would faster drives help or am I going to need a GPU?

    Does CreepMiner use the GPU automatically? or is there a setting I missed?

    Cheers!


  • admin

    @scprv55 To forge more blocks you need more capacity - ie more drives.



  • @haitch

    Thanks Haitch, I'm going to buy a new drive (maybe today), but I'm trying to figure out if it is just drive capacity that I'm lacking or if its also a speed thing.

    Should I get a USB 3 port upgrade or is USB2 enough?

    Should I not bother with external drive (USB2 is all my PC has) and instead hook them up using Sata 2

    Is it worth upgrading my motherboard to one that has SATA 3?

    Appreciate everyone's help!


  • admin

    @scprv55 How long does it take you to mine all the drives? USB3 is more desirable than USB2, but if it's what you have - it's what you have.

    My latest rig has SATA2, for 20 drives. it's not as fast as I'd like, but it's fast enough.



  • @haitch

    500 GB USB 3 drive but on a USB port

    read (3 files, 460.00 GB total) in 3.870s (~29.71 MB/s)

    1 TB internal on SATA
    read (4 files, 870.00 GB total) in 4.013s (~54.19 MB/s)

    2TB internal on SATA
    read (6 files, 1.49 TB total) in 4.886s (~78.03 MB/s)

    All plots (except 2) are optimized


  • admin

    @scprv55 You're reading them all in less than 5 seconds, mine take around 60 seconds. You cpu/gpu is not your bottleneck, just continue to add capacity.



  • @haitch

    Thanks Haitch, that clears things up.

    Basically I didn't want to spend on drives if there was something else I could do to speed things up first.

    Better go out this afternoon and buy myself at least 4TB of extra space.
