Hi,
Ubuntu 16.04+cpuminer-opt v3.4.6
After a standard installation (in accordance with the file README.md) miner does not understand the algorithm yescrupt. Sad
./minerd --algo=yescrypt --url=stratum+tcp://mine.zpool.ca:6233 --user=1C...wWe --pass=x
./minerd: unknown algorithm -- 'yescrypt'
Try `minerd --help' for more information.
Without key "algo =" miner normally works on the scrypt algorithm.
How to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance. Smiley

minerd is not cpuminer-opt. The correct command is cpuminer. You must have an old copy of minerd in your directory.

Thanks for the answer.
Where can I find an executable file named cpuminer?
In which directory?

The same place you compiled it.

Unfortunately I do not have such file.
Did I do something wrong.
The following list is done, the:

sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev libncurses5-dev pkg-config automake yasm
git clone https://github.com/pooler/cpuminer.git
cd cpuminer
./autogen.sh
./configure CFLAGS="-O3"
make

What am I doing wrong?
