Pooler Cpuminer

[Heli Whetzel]

Iforked the CudaMiner repository from GitHub - noxo/CudaMiner: a CUDA accelerated litecoin mining application based on pooler's CPU miner, and did some modification so as to make it build and work on Jetson TX2.

But yes, even a Jetson could be a mining device, especially if the matrix math could be done using newer cuda libs and letting tensor cores do some of the matrix ops. You would just have the jetsons connect to auto-switching mining pools mining coins nvidia excels at, but also optimizing those to reduce memcpy while offloading anything that can be done as a matrix transform to tensor cores. The matrix logic is currently being purged for inline everything though in the mining code.

Every valid share you submit to this pool is instantly credited to your accountat the current pay-per-share (PPS) rate.We take on the risk of bad luck so you don't have to deal with varianceand orphaned blocks;this is why the service requires a 2% nominal fee.

Note that PPS fees are only nominal,and cannot be compared to proportional/PPLNS fees.On those systems, miners are only rewarded when and if a block matures,but a significant fraction of all blocks found get orphanedfrom the network, and therefore yield no reward.For this reason, a 2% PPS fee does not meanthat we keep 2% of what our miners earn,not even in the long run.

LitecoinPool.org was started shortly after the birth of Litecoin by Pooler,who is well known in the community as a member of the Litecoin core development teamand for being the maintainer of the cpuminer software package.Since the very start, the pool used ad-hoc software:Pooler wrote the front end entirely from scratch, with security and efficiency in mind,while the mining back end was originally a heavily-modified version of Jeff Garzik's pushpool.After two weeks of intensive testing, on November 5, 2011the pool opened its doors to the public, becoming the first PPS pool for Litecoin.

Thanks to its advanced features and its reliability, the pool quickly attracteda very high number of miners, to the point that during the first half of 2012it often constituted over 40% of the entire Litecoin network.Due to centralization concerns, it was decided to temporarily close new registrations;later in 2012, registrations were reopened, subject to approval.

The innovations continued,and in September 2014 LitecoinPool.org became the first Litecoin poolto offer secure mining over TLS-encrypted Stratum connections,protecting miners from potential man-in-the-middle attacks.

2014 was also the year Dogecoin became merge-mineable.Support for merged mining was available from the very first Litecoin-compatible block,and miners started receiving higher Litecoin rewards which accounted for the added profitability.This system lasted until 2024, when the ever-rising profitability of Dogecoinprompted a separation of Litecoin and Dogecoin rewards.Miners now receive both litecoins and dogecoins simultaneously,with both types of rewards still following a pure PPS system.
