Thanks!

If anyone in this thread is interested, I'm hosting those at https://hmage.net/cpuminer-opt/ — the link is permanent.

I have problem to compile miner on ubuntu 16.10. Any info about fixing problem?

Yes, you're doing it wrong. If you want a better answer ask a better question.

Much better.

It seems the m4 directory gets deleted by git. I've tried to fix it a few times. Not sure what it's for it always seems to be empty.
You can manually create it or download the source tarball.

Is that M4 folder supposed to be an empty one ? if i remember correctly githut remove empty folder when you publish a release, if you want it to be kept create a dummy file in it like ".something", it should keep the folder when you publish.

I also had a question for fellow miners or dev, any of your noticed the difference in hashrate between cpuminer-opt and the minergate miner ? i seems to achieve 10% more hash on the minergate miner with the same settings (i tested on both minergate pool and random pool), i've been banging my head as to why, but i can't find a reason, is their miner this much better ? i find it odd seeing as how this miner is already very good.

If someone got an idea, im out of them...

That was my first question. My second question is if the hashrate was from the miner or the pool. The miner
can report anything it wants.

Edit: third question, how much difference?

yes there is http://coinspool.cu.cc/
thanks joblo

That's a weird pool. It looks like I have to install a wallet qt and import their key to get my coins. I guess it will do for
testing, I won't be mining enough to worry about.

no you dont need to install qt wallet,when you reach threshold pool will pay your earnings automatically.its like 0.001 or something.
also syncing with qt wallet is PITA,also you need to use binaries from new thread here https://bt.irlbtc.com/view/1318397.0

btw did you applied optimizations how is it going ?
