Could someone point me to the source of the CPU minerd that supports this algo, so I may compile it for linux?
For the life of me I cannot seem to find one. I could have sworn that I had found one before.
I think you will only find win64 binaries, an alternative you could look into is minerpp:
https://github.com/john-connor/minerppAlso, keep in mind that CPU only mining will not yeld much reward as you will be competiting with GPU and FPGA.
I understand that CPU mining is slow, but I have a few VPS's I may as well point to a pool.
So there is no source code from which the 64bit binaries were compiled from?
