That's awesome.  One of these days I really have to learn how to use GMP, as so many miners get released that would benefit from being ported to use it.

If you can figure out the segmentation fault too...    We added a mutex around what we thought was the culprit but it is still happening - It's driving me nuts!

Sorry Guys :/

It's probably because its pushing your processors harder now so it's hitting the fault faster.

In my case I'm now seeing almost a 4x increase and it will work on the long run for 15 minutes... If you were using 4x less processing power it kind of makes sense that it would last around an hour until it hit the fault.

There have been numerous posts explaining how to create a simple batch file (windows) or bash script (*nix) to continually restart the miner if it crashes.  Just check back through the last few pages. This means that you can just leave them running, and they will restart straight away if they crash.

This will be looked into when I have more checks off of my TODO list. Thanks to Bitslapper compiling x64 binaries, I can now move onto helping him finish the GPU miner by the next channel launch. This is #1 priority right now.

The best way I have seen to defeat a botnet is to make the memory requirements very high, so that it makes the older computers unable to run it. This is a tricky situation to distinguish the difference between a server farm, and a botnet. I would leave it to Pool operators to do the filtering from their Pool backend once they come live. Otherwise we could end up banning honest nodes.

What is your operating system?

You tried the batch file I included? Create a new text file, save it as start. Click the alt button now, and go to tools->folder options. Click the tab "view" to the right of "general". From there you will need to uncheck the checkbox that says "hide extensions for known file types." It is item number 9. Click Ok.

Once this is done, you can rename it start.bat. Make sure it is not start.bat.txt or it will not work.
Then right click start.bat and click edit, followed by pasting this code into that file. Click save and exit. Make sure start.bat is in the same folder as miner.exe and double click start.bat to start your miner. This will automatically restart your miner if it crashes.


:BEGIN
miner.exe 127.0.0.1 9325
GOTO BEGIN

This coins is as shitty as XCN and XMG,new type of scam.

Also if anyone is getting the "miner.exe has stopped working" error message, that prevents the windows scrypt from restarting the miner.

Then look at this answer from server fault. It fixed the issue for me and the miner restarts itself on windows now.
