Can someone please help me, I am down to my last few hairs on my head.  I am really excited about this tech but I seem to be hitting roadblocks around every corner.  I have the daemon running on a windows machine cpu mining.  Working great so far.  However, my GPU machine is Linux and I am about to go postal.  Siad and Siac work fine but this cursed GPU miner just will not work.  I am running Ubuntu 14.04, curl 7.35, openssl, and a R9 x280 .  When I run the GPU miner I get...

Code:
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcurl.so.4: version `CURL_OPENSSL_4' not found (required by ./gpu-miner)

Siad is running and I have the gpu-miner and gpu-miner.cl in the same folder as the daemon.  So far google is not being my friend with this error either.  I also downloaded curl 7.42.1 and compiled from source with no luck.

On ubuntu you need the libcurl4-gnutls-dev package.

Hope that helps.

There's a chance that Sia's mining algorithm could be added to sgminer or cgminer. I'm not fully sure who to talk to, but there's a thread here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=826901.new#new and here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=632503.3920

Getting Sia running on one of those miners would likely solve many of the bugs, and allow people to use the features they are familiar with. I am not sure what all goes into that.
