LBRY is decentralized content-sharing platform based on the new blockchain directed creators of content (film-makers, musicians, writers, or software developer) who want to have full control over their own work. No advertising, no corporate censorship, and LBRY not take part of your income as content creators and consumers can also benefit because there is finally an alternative to storing large media.

Step by step how to mining LBRY on windows.

Download the SGMINER with lbry support here
Extract All files
Go to Suprnova lbry pool here
Register and create worker
Open the extracted folder, then edit the suprnova bat file, change your username and your worker
save it and run it

Step by step how to mining LBRY on linux (ubuntu Server 14.04)

Download AMD ADL from here and extract it to /opt/AMDADL. Download and install AMD SDK from here.
Change user to root (or you can use sudo if you didnt want to be root)
Run this following command
1. apt-get install build-essential libcurl4-openssl-dev git automake libtool libjansson* libncurses5-dev
2. git clone --recursive https://github.com/lbryio/lbrycrd-gpu.git
3. cd sgminer/
4. cp /opt/AMDADL/include/* ADL_SDK/
5. ./autogen.sh
6. ./configure CFLAGS="-O3 -Wall -march=native"
7. make
8. ./sgminer --kernel lbry -o stratum+tcp://lbry.suprnova.cc:6256 -u yourworker.1 -p password -I 19 -w 64
Please change your worker and password before running sgminer (on step 8)

Thanks man!

I got a build error here:

sgminer.c:811:18: error: ‘TRUE’ undeclared (first use in this function)
pool->backup = TRUE;

To fix it, open sgminer.c on line 811 and replace TRUE with true.

Also the OpenCL kernel won't compile... does this miner work on Nvidia?

./kernel/wolf-sha512.cl:55:69: warning: implicit declaration of function 'amd_bitalign' is invalid in C99
ulong FAST_ROTR64_LO(const uint2 x, const uint y) { return(as_ulong(amd_bitalign(x.s10, x, y))); }
^
./kernel/wolf-sha512.cl:55:60: error: call to 'as_ulong' is ambiguous
ulong FAST_ROTR64_LO(const uint2 x, const uint y) { return(as_ulong(amd_bitalign(x.s10, x, y))); }
^~~~~~~

Works on my AMD rig, getting about 43 MH/s per 7970 (not overclocked).

Thanks for your guide!

Did all this w/Linux but when I run the last command to startup sgminer, it does nothing at all - just exits immediately with no error, and I can't find an error log. Hmm.. (Well ok, I did get sgminer from github, not that link whatever that is.)
