I wrote my own CPU miner in Go for fun! https://github.com/1lann/krist-miner
It's about 1.3-1.8x faster than Yevano's YTCI Krist Miner. So I believe this would be the fastest CPU miner out there?
Unfortunately due to the state of Krist I can't actually test if it submits solutions correctly, as I've been mining to no avail.
Downloads are here if you can't find it: https://github.com/1...-miner/releases
It has a command line interface, so run the binary in a terminal/command prompt.

I'm currently working on a GPU miner too, I'll be publishing it if I do manage to finish it.

Yeah, it seems to be a bit faster than Yevano's. GG.
I don't think I'll be able to get a block at 8 MH/s on this work though :/

Your miner is submitting nonces that are too large to be accepted. They have a 12 character maximum

Huh, you sure? Actually I just realised that can happen if you have more than 9 cores. Do you have more than 9 cores on your computer? Or is something else causing it...

EDIT: Either way, I pushed an update to support more than 9 threads at https://github.com/1...miner/releases/ .

Sorry, I typed that response in a hurry - we were driving away from the wifi!
On 12 cores, the miner produced 10aaaaalqmpzh for a nonce. Lignum was testing it on a krist server emulator, which is how he got a solution so quickly.
Thanks for making this, it might just be the fastest miner that is publicly available right now.

turbokrist, my OpenCL miner, will be available under the GPL v3 license once released. You're welcome to use its code.

Yep, 12 cores, that would be the reason. As I said earlier, it's fixed in the latest version which now supports up to 62 threads/cores. Thanks for letting me know! I actually really enjoyed making this miner and I was really happy with the optimisations I came up with. In fact, I'll write about the optimisations I made compared to Yevano's miner in the repository.

Good to hear! I'll try to find any optimisations I can make when you release it

Well uhh, right now, you pretty much don't because there's no public GPU miners and CPU mining won't really get you anything even on a crazy powerful beast of a computer.

Give it a week or two and there should be some good miners available - I know of at least 3 GPU miners in development, one of which is working (mine)

Give me a few days of good old debugging and i should have a pool and an example lua miner up and running

Can't wait to run your OpenCL miner on my Nvidia GeForce 6200.

As stated before, since the GPU miners haven't been released yet, mining is virtually impossible. However, this will of course change soon.

Lol 1lann's miner is 3.8x faster on my computer than Yevano's.

Can I use your miner on several computers at once? Or does it not support that?

Generally speaking, it will always work. However, you will get the most out of it if the miner supports adding a nonce prefix. In which case, you should set a different nonce prefix for each computer. From what I can tell, 1lann's miner does not support this at the time of writing.

[Pyuu]

1lann's miner doesn't support prefixes at this point in time. I'll send him a PM about it.

[3d6]

You won't repeat work if you use a different address where you would normally use a different prefix.

[Tron]

After speeding up address generation by an average of 10%

With this added bit of python code

if n == 8:
	nc = 0
	while nc < 9:
		if not protein[nc] == "":
			result_addr = result_addr + base_36(int(protein[nc],16))
			protein[nc] = ""
			n = n+1
		nc = nc+1

I found a collision for the address kfe3c3qz4w with "KSTcollision-n=6085997" and "KSTcollision-n=7770485"
I have also found a collision for the address kac31tsbjs with "tenpercent=13882890" and "tenpercent=20076258"
This isn't very unusual considering it would only take 10 million addresses to get a 50% chance at collision, but it gave me an excuse to post my address generation optimization so I thought I'd share it.
