Donate CPU Cycles Instead of Money! - Eru - 04-02-2012
Some information on using poclbm.exe instead of the auto-mining tool I made.
Download from http://in-uo.net/download/poclbm.zip
When you extract it, you'll see a few batch files and a folder named 'poclbm'
Options.bat :: Double-click this and it will run the program in a way that will display options in the command prompt.
ShowDevices.bat :: You'll need to configure which device to use and this will list the devices found. If it gives an error like "DLL Load failed: The specified module could not be found.", it means that there's no compatible GPU on your machine for poclbm to use and you'd need to use the auto-miner.
poclbm_miner.bat :: This is the main batch file that you'll run to start the miner and the one you'll need to edit.
Default Config Wrote:cd poclbm
::Edit the user in the next line to yours. (_anon -> _you)
::-d 0 means use divice 0... may need to be changed. Run Show Devices.bat
poclbm.exe -d 0 http://[email protected]_anon:[email protected]:8332
The last line is the one that needs to be edited. Replace the 'anon' between the _ and the : with your username. Example:
poclbm.exe -d 0 http://[email protected]_eru:[email protected]:8332
The -d 0 flag means "use device 0". You can see the list of devices with the "ShowDevices.bat" file. Edit it to use the # of the device you want to use.
If you have multiple devices, just copy the line and paste it in twice. Here's an example that uses devices 0 and 1.
poclbm.exe -d 0 http://[email protected]_anon:[email protected]:8332
poclbm.exe -d 1 http://[email protected]_anon:[email protected]:8332
Other options can be found here: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Poclbm#Flags_to_Use
MOST of these you'll never need to touch. Here are the ones that might conceivably need changing:
Flags Wrote:-r RATE, --rate=RATE Set hash rate display interval in seconds, default=1
-f FRAMES, --frames=FRAMES Will try to bring single kernel execution to 1/frames seconds, default=30. Increase this for less desktop lag
-d DEVICE, --device=DEVICE Set used device by id, by default asks for device
-a ASKRATE, --askrate=ASKRATE Set how many seconds between getwork requests, default 5, max 10
-w WORKSIZE, --worksize=WORKSIZE Set work group size, default is maximum returned by opencl
-v, --vectors Enable vectors, which is faster on some cards.
--verbose Enable verbose output, suitable for redirection to log file
--platform=PLATFORM Set used platform by id
-s SLEEPTIME Sleep for the specified number of seconds between iterations (default 0). Increase this to reduce hashing performance if your temperatures are too high.

erm.. still works as anon only. doesn't work when using any other name
I mean, it works, but with 0 Mhash/s.And if I'm running poclbm with my name, it says "wrong login or password".

Imagine if we would still have the bitcoin mined back then

How many did you guys have for IN? I think I sold all mine at $140 or so. Oh man...
How are you doing? Are you still doing development in any form?

I'm not sure, Eru handled that. Maybe he'll notice this thread and reply to it (unless he's now filthy rich and couldn't care less
).I'm doing well! I'm not developing anything UO-like, the only game I play currently is Clash Royale on my phone, hehe.
How about you?

I'm doing good. I never got into mobile games, but I still play some PC titles. Mostly strategy and first-person shooters. I occasionally have the itch to get back to some game development project, but I just don't have the time right now.

Probably only mined up about 1 coin back when this was a thing.
I haven't done much UO-like dev in a while either. Just scripting/coding stuff for work.
Since the new year, I've been learning 3D development because I've become addicted to VRChat.

Haha Eru, "when this was a thing"? This is a thing NOW and ONE coin is worth about 12k dollars today, so if u did in fact mine one coin you have a lot of money to collect
https://www.buybitcoinworldwide.com/price/ <- check this URL to see how much one coin is worth right now :]
Long time no see by the way! This is Seer Hate from the IN-UO days :] (forgot my pwd to the staff account so this will have to do for now) :p
