[Delinquency]

any body have the codes for mmc. i need some help. for GPU mining i have windows 8, 3gig i5, 16gig memory , and a nedivia gt 640 card. i cant even get wallet address on MMCPool.com . ty  ps where can i check my chip temp plz new computer.  and my  bat files are like this
(this is miner)

set GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100
minerd-mmc.exe MQsVnp7AUubUxxMAkKtFF4CVcksAexVuJq

(this is minerd help)

minerd-mmc.exe
pause

I think you have the wrong topic, please post in the support/help section.
This guide pertains to the Linux OS.

Awesome! I use cgminer to mine BTC and buy MMC to keep upward price pressure.  Tried other gpu / yam for Ubuntu, but no luck so far.  Will try yours.

I will add a head-ful / head-more / mined-full install script for cgminer...whatever the opposite of headless is...for cgminer.  I like to have a local desktop, because I'm usually swapping cards about once a week or so.

This is what I use for Ubuntu 13.10, with a small HDD to allow for desktop troubleshooting, wallets, etc during initial burn-in of the card.  Cut-and-paste from last week's new install - so recent - but untested by anyone else.

Each should be written as a full script.  In ubuntu, create new folder, cut-and-paste, save, right-click, properties, permissions tab -> allow to execute as program (or chmod +x).  Also, open file manager, under properties, behavior tab -> programs execute in terminal / ask each time.

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/bash
#Based on cryptobager.com's guide, with updates

#cgminer / AMD install starting from Ubuntu 13.10 new install

#install AMD video drivers
sudo apt-get -y install fglrx-updates fglrx-amdcccle-updates
fglrx-updates-dev && sudo apt-get -y update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade

#dependencies, etc to build/run cgminer and ssh
sudo apt-get -y install build-essential libcurl4-gnutls-dev yasm
libncurses5-dev git autoconf automake openssh-server byobu curl
libjansson-dev

#Update gpu config (reboot required) - necessary each time GPUs change
sudo aticonfig --lsa
sudo aticonfig --adapter=all --initial
#sudo reboot

#GPU status after initial config
#sudo aticonfig --adapter=all --odgt

#Install and build cgminer 3.7.2 for Scrypt
# See https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=95718.0
#1. manually download AMD SDK (e.g., to ~/Desktop/AMDSDK), view Readme, and run install script
#2. manually download AMD SDL (e.g., to Desktop/AMDSDL). Copy /include/*.h to cgminer/ADL_SDK/
#Get CGMINER 3.7.2 and build
wget http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/3.7/cgminer-3.7.2-x86_64.tar.bz2
tar jxvf cgminer-3.7.2-x86_64-built.tar.bz2
rm *.bz2
mv cgminer-3.7.2 ~/Desktop/cgminer
 cd cgminer
 ./configure
CFLAGS="-O2 -Wall -march=native -I/opt/AMDAPP/include"
LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib" ./configure --enable-scrypt
 make

This is my script to launch cgminer for middlecoin - replace with your settings:
 

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/bash
export DISPLAY=:0
export GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100
export GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1
cd ~/Desktop/cgminer
./cgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://middlecoin.com:3333 -u
12s3ZEkjBbLRpMayaCXtjAaKDE5D84gFT5 -p x -I 15,17 --auto-fan
--temp-target 84 --gpu-engine 800 --gpu-memclock 300

That guide is sort of unrelated to memorycoin, but just make a new topic :\

I'm sending 1 mmc for your detailed guide. But the poor wallet is broken without reason. I'll do't later.

haha

Want to run the MMC Miner on your debian server without a hassle? Well now you can with this tutorial!

Note: I tried Lubuntu and Xubuntu and even Ubuntu to run the GPU MMC Miner, but this setup is more efficient and  headless.

Steps:
1. Download the latest Debian Net installer and put it on a USB drive/disk [Note: a USB Drive is faster and environmentally friendly]
Pen Drive Linux (Universal USB Installer)

Code: [Select]

http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/ Debian 7.4.0 64-bit Net Installer  [Mirror: Steadfast.net]

Code: [Select]

http://mirror.steadfast.net/debian-cd/7.4.0/amd64/iso-cd/debian-7.4.0-amd64-netinst.iso Debian 7.4.0 32-bit Net Installer [Mirror: Steadfast.net]

Code: [Select]

http://mirror.steadfast.net/debian-cd/7.4.0/i386/iso-cd/debian-7.4.0-i386-netinst.iso

2. Install.
 Only select the packages for boxes SSH Server and Standard System Utilities. Uncheck the desktop environment and others.
   Tip: Use the cdn.debian.net mirror when selecting the package server.


3. Login to your server through SSH or use the console.


4. Add 'non-free' AND 'contrib' to the end of each deb line in /etc/apt/sources.list

apt-get update; apt-get install nano -y;
nano /etc/apt/sources.list;

It should look something like this:

Code: [Select]

deb http://cdn.debian.net/debian/ wheezy main contrib non-free
deb-src http://cdn.debian.net/debian/ wheezy main

deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main

# wheezy-updates, previously known as 'volatile'
deb http://cdn.debian.net/debian/ wheezy-updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://cdn.debian.net/debian/ wheezy-updates main

5. Now install the required packages. [Not sure if you need libncurses5-dev and libudev-dev]

Code: [Select]

apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
apt-get install bzip2 fglrx-driver libcurl4-openssl-dev libncurses5-dev libudev-dev ntp screen unzip xdm xorg
apt-get purge libfglrx
apt-get install firmware-linux-nonfree
apt-get clean

6. Download the latest AMD Catalyst Drivers from the AMD website.
This step may be annoying because AMD's website requires a web referer to download any file on their server through wget. An alternative would be to upload it to a web server or even just upload it to your server through SFTP.

http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Linux+x86

7. Unzip and run the file.

unzip amd-catalyst-13.12-linux-x86.x86_64.zip && sh amd-catalyst-13.12-linux-x86.x86_64.run --force

Accept all the dialogues.

8. Fix up the X-Server settings:

Code: [Select]

rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf && aticonfig --adapter=all --initial
9. Add this your /etc/profile file:

nano /etc/profile

Code: [Select]

export DISPLAY=:0
export GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100
export GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1
export XAUTHORITY=/.Xauthority
10. Restart. 'reboot'

11. You'll get a lousy glibc error when you try to start the gpu miner. (from mmcpool's GPU Miner)
There is an easy fix - ADD THIS to your /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://cdn.debian.net/debian testing main

  Now install the necessary packages:

Code: [Select]

apt-get update && apt-get -t testing install libc6-dev
Accept all the dialogues in order to install this package.

12. Download the latest MMC-Minerd Package and unzip it using TAR
Note: The download link may change if there is an update. I am also referring to mmcpool's GPU miner because it is more stable than 1gh's and promotes pool decentralization.

cd ~;wget http://dl.mmcpool.com/gpu/mmcpool-gpu-miner-ubuntu-x64.tgz?tm=1392439225243; tar -xvf *.tgz;chmod +x start.sh;chmod +x minerd-mmc

13. Run it with your wallet address.

./minerd-mmc WALLETID 0

14. Post Install:

'apt-get install screen'
If you install screen you can use the command:

Code: [Select]

screen -mDs mmc-miner ~/minerd-mmc WALLETID &
and even add it to the bottom of
'crontab -e'
[Untested. You may need to fine tune a delay after your system starts up, or even use some other method of running the miner upon startup.]

Code: [Select]

@reboot screen -mDs mmc-miner ~/minerd-mmc WALLETID &

Warning: Please remove the line with testing in /etc/apt/sources.list after installing the necessary libc library or your system may break.

#COMMENT IT OUT deb http://cdn.debian.net/debian testing main

The MMC GPU Miner is easier to install and run compared to compiling Scrypt's cgminer.
