I did read them. Perhaps I missed something, could you point me to the exact post?
Are you referring to the "a better one is being built" blockchain?

The main page still has the link to Original.rar which is old.

And also what should I do once the blockchain has downloaded from that single node?
I probably need  to somehow switch to multiple nodes again?

I guess what I'm saying is... I skimmed through a few last pages, I looked at the 1st page, I tried 4 times and still can't get it to work.
I'm not new to this and I know how this stuff works and where the blockchain files are located, etc.
But there are users who don't know such details and I assume they are really frustrated.
Please provide a wiki link or some detailed post on how to fix the wallet.


Thanks

When... I don't think I will post the CL sources at all. At least any time soon. I think of providing a faster BIN for other pools/solo in the next update.
I provided my previous improvements as open source and asked to donate. What did I get in return? Nothing.
At least you guys are getting 0.05 DMD from each mined block (which is 72DMD per day).
With this optimized .bin linked to my pool I'm getting some fees to cover server costs and my time. I spent about 10 8-hour days on optimizing just this single kernel.

As for hacking the bin files... Have fun! I was a cracker myself many years ago. Cracking it should be fairly easy. Only the next version will have some different scheme. This one is temporary as I was focusing more on the OpenCL kernel.

I believe that I have contributed to open source community by providing the 16.7 MHs simple .cl (vs 14.4 MHs that you could get with sph-sgminer).
Also my open source code is cleaned out, so it is very easy to read and optimize further if somebody wants. Maybe they could get a better speed. Some optimizations are clearly visible.

BTW, ccMiner guys had the "killer groestl" for a few months before they made it open source (I asked them 4 times to release it).

Also, I think that having a very fast Groestl miner is actually bad.
Because of CPU vs GPU speed difference.

With the optimized miner being linked to a particular pool, working only on ATI Southern Islands cards and producing more heat, I think this "bad influence" of fast groestl is diminished. Since only a few people use it.

If it was open sourced, then everyone would simply update to the new faster miner. We would be producing more heat and CPUs would be a lot slower.
Perhaps if there was some other project to compete with in MHs terms, that would be fun. Right now I think ccMiner can get only 16MH/s on fastest NVidia.
grs-sgminer can do better on R9 290 (and there is R9 290X and R9 295X2 which should be even faster), so no challenge here...

I also have one other reason, which I'm not going to disclose yet.

Thanks

fair deal  

i wana love ur miners
and not hate them because they dont allow me solo mine.....

looking forward to see ur optimized solo able miner ready for download

I leave it to user to compile their own x11mod and x13mod .cl files or download an optimized bin
on my thread.  
13.12 is dated and does not work well with new optimized x kernels.

Does yours work with 14.6RC2 and 14.4?
Not all people have 290's LOL

Cheers

I recompiled the wallet from source for my pool and now it doesn't start!

Shows this stupid assert message:

Please help!!!

PS: This is why I was reluctant to switch if update wasn't mandatory. :-(

your blockchain database is corrupted

I'm still waiting for the "clean blockchain database" until then I am mining other coins (Maiacoin, and testing X13 on wafflepool).

Perhaps if you followed this thread more often you would already know about the 412 problem
As a pool operator you must stay up to date to be aware of potential problems and help to resolve them, not just leech from the pool ROFL.

If you have a backup of your blkindex.dat file use that one and and run a -loadblock=blk0001.dat. This should make the wallet run. This assertion problem has been discussed profusely in the past 5 pages. See for further details:

Thank you. I re-downloaded the blockchain on the pool server and now it seems to be working fine.

Same with my home PC, all is ok.

Do you know how is the optimized blockchain going to be better?
Just smaller in size?

Thanks

I agree. Thank you Danbi for this. Helped me as well.

I see, kind of a tricky way of putting things and reason why people ask questions. If there is a pool fee (included in the increased hashrate), state it clearly in the OP or even better in the website homepage. End of story and explain why. I have seen some references in some of your posts though, yet you dimish it by saying there is not additional fee. Since we are not all coder/dev and experts in this, I thought there was no fee, now I am hearing I am being taken some small amounts without my knowledge, whatever the justification (larger hashrate etc etc). I have personnally no problem paying a fee as long as it is clearly stated. Artificially increasing hashrate in the web backend to justify a fee is not a transparent way of doing business.

As for putting things in your thread, well many questions have been posted in your thread for the past 4 days and no answers have been given. I took it on me to answer some questions to help others and now realize I did wrong. Specially on the no fee part... sigh

I hold no grudge Scrxxx, but please understand us, and please be PERFECTLY transparent.
