CPU Miner for ARM64 iOS Devices

MobileMiner

CPU Miner for ARM64 iOS Devices

This is a fork of Lucas Jones's cpuminer-multi, ( https://github.com/lucasjones/cpuminer-multi ) compiled for arm64 iOS devices. Credits go to the initial developers and contributors.

Compiled iOS App

http://www.mediafire.com/file/f6qzt8jv26wtqm6/MobileMiner.ipa

Changes

1. The change needed is in cpu-miner.c, where

    int main(int argc, char *arv[])    
   

has been changed to

start_mining(int argc,char *argv[])

in order for it to compile as a library.

Then you can import the library in an Xcode project and use

char *args[]= {path, "-a","cryptonight","-o","url","-u","userAdrress","-p","x"};

start_mining((int)(sizeof(args)/sizeof(char *))-1,args);

if you want to keep the same argument formatting and parsing.

2. In order for notifications to be received in the UI, instead of reading from stderr, I am posting notifications from inside cpu-miner.c passing the log message to the UI.

3. I have added a throttle in submit_upstream_work in order to maintain the speed in reasonable limits, since I noticed that some pools might ban you if a) the pool has small startup diff b) the device can cope well at first with this diff and sends hashes very fast.

4. I've added -x objective-c in the Makefile in order to compile with objc.

5. Included necessary CoreFoundation framework for the C functions.

6. In the case of the program being loaded as a library, flags need to be set inside threads in order to be able to stop them, because we don't want them to exit the main thread when done (although its faster to kill and restart the app if you're caught in a processing miner thread)

Dependencies

Instructions

• Compile c files (cpuminer project files) for target arm64

• After compile, run

• This will create a "minerd.a" library. Drag minerd.a in Xcode

• Compile openssl for iOS and drag libcrypto.a in Xcode project

• Compile jansson for iOS and drag libjansson.a to Xcode project

• Compile Curl for iOS and drag libcurl.a to Xcode project

• (If you're having problems compiling or prefer precompiled binaries of the cpuminer project and dependencies , I am alternatively including them in Precompiled Binaries folder, just drag them in the Xcode project.)

    Other Flags: -all_load 
  

• Compile Xcode project and run

mobileminer's Issues

Compilation

@limneos
Could you please give us step by step instructions on how you compiled the minerd.a file. Many of us would like to compile it ourselves but are not able to because of various errors.

start_mining(int argc,char *argv[])

When i try to compile i get this error

I don't really know what it means?

Error after using precompiled binaries

Hi. I dragged the precompiled binaries file into the MobileMiner Group within the Xcode project. I then removed the -lcrypto flag from both the Debug and Releases sections of the Other Linker Flags section in Build Settings. Now, I am getting the attached error. Please let me know what steps need to be taken from here. Thank you!

The download link doesn't work

Mega says that the file is dangerous and won't let me download it

Stratum_connect Authentication error

Hi! Great work on this project.
So I've been able to compile, sign and install the app on iOS. I setup the configurations and have everything ready to rock, but every time it starts to mine I receive a stratum_connect error. Checked the logs and it seems to happen after every attempt. It goes through 6 threads, then drops due to authentication. Tries again in 10s.
Any suggestions?

Link is broke

The link doesnt work to download it says dangerous

Add support for Apple Silicon M1 Macs

Could be a good start for an M1 miner.

Background Mode

I am wondering what method this app uses to remain in background successfully? Where in code?

Is it possible to mine ethereum or BTC?

I tried few pool mining url for ETH and BTC but it doesn't connect. What could be the issue?
Tried the following for BTC:
with slushpool:
stratum+tcp://sg.stratum.slushpool.com:3333

user: sahiljjain.worker1

Is there any specific configuration needs to be done for different currencies

Linker command failed with exit code 1

Hello,
getting this error. Would it be possible to upload the file just ready for compilation?
Thanks a lot! Great project!

Clearer Instructions Needed

Hey,

Just wanna prefix with awesome job getting this working on iOS.

I've been trying to get this to build but with no luck, I've done everything except the minerd library in arm64/x86_64.

You mention this stage in the docs as

Compile c files (cpuminer project files) for target arm64

Any chance you could share what exactly you did to get this to work? I've had to edit the Makefile, autoconf and even the extensions of the files quite a lot and am currently stuck with this error.

Any advice would be fantastic.

Complied app promblem

Hello the compiled app file link on mediafire is broken. Media fire is saying it was deemed dangerous and they don’t promote dangerous files, can you send me an updated storage file link please?

Mobile miner

Good for now. Will appreciate if this company make more simple use for users.

Updates?

Would love to see this receive updated support

Developer Donation

I can understand if you don't want people to know this but if you are willing can you tell me where the developer donation levels are located in the source code?

Coins to wallet

In MobileMiner, accepted states 8/8 (100%), but I do not see any coins added to my wallet on Electroneum. I checked my wallet address and it is correct. How long does it take for mined coins to be deposited into a wallet? Thank you.

Ggh

Android version

Awesome work!
Are there any plans to compile this for Android devices?

Update in 2019?

Please make an Update. PLEASE!

I can’t figure out how to download

Change Algo and V7 support

How can we change algorithms and also when will we get V7 support as all the cryptos are updating to it.

Yeah im stuck i cant run it can anyone help? also libcurl.a and libjannson.a are highlighted red on Xcode. Is that a problem?

how to compile c file and create minerd.a

Hi

I clone this project into my mac, I switch to folder MobileMiner in terminal

I follow the Instructions "Compile c files (cpuminer project files) for target arm64"

then I type clang cpu-miner.c in terminal, there is a error : "fatal error: 'cpuminer-config.h' file not found"

anyone know how to create a "minerd.a" library

Download link is dead

It says that it’s a dangerous file on mediafire. Pls reupload to a different site.

Is this dead?

If you could, could you update this to support the latest Monero algo?
