Raspberry Pi's Raspbian #187

Open ramonhugo opened 7 years ago

ramonhugo commented 7 years ago

Is it possible to compile it in Raspbian? At the moment I'm having an issue in the assemble.sh.

chronosek commented 7 years ago

maybe it is possible, but was not intend, you have to drop any function with assembler code, cause it was wrote for x86_64 and will not work for arm cpu, so no xenoncat, but cuda_trump could work, best would be get back to code without asm, and try compile it... btw you should not expect get even 1 sol/s

But to be able to do that I need the CUDA toolkit installed. I've tried to use the Ubuntu 14.04 CUDA repository, but CUDA needs nvidia drivers. Are you sure that makes sense to try that?

chronosek commented 7 years ago

for my opininon there is no sense, only just if you have too much time.... You would need to change all cmake commands just to skip many parts, you do not need cuda or opencl for raspberry

I have several Raspberry Pi 3 mining feathercoin just for fun. But I'd guess would be more profitable to deal with nicehash. Just wanted to test, but seems too much effort.

Any further thoughts on this? cpuminer works well on the Pi, but there is no solver there for equihash.

ramonhugo commented 7 years ago

Yes, I'm using cpuminer (minerd) on Raspbian too, but I couldn't make the nheqminer to work. To say "that is not worth it" is dumb, I'm not asking about opinions here. I can mine Feathercoin and Maxcoin on Raspberry Pi, but to mine Zcash will be better. I coudn't make any Nicehash miner to work - it seems that they are focused on Windows, and even the version of nheqminer on Windows recognizing my Intel HD 4400 to mine, the CPU+GPU of that is worst (yes, I run two separated threads because the CPU+GPU is not working well) in Windows than just CPU on Linux, what is very weird since the developers seems to be focused on Windows.

they are focused on windows to harness a little botnet power...
