Title: GUI MINER Cant find my CPU? Post by: Avi3ator on November 08, 2016, 08:22:36 PM When i am creating a miner it only finds my GPU and i want to use my CPU too? and my cpu doesnt pop up?

Post by: gt_addict on November 08, 2016, 10:09:13 PM If youre mining bitcoins with your gpu and cpu you will most likely burn your computer out before you earn enough bitcoin to pay for it. The age of bitcoin mining with computers is dead. You need to buy ASIC's which sole purpose is to mine bitcoins.

for anything else, cpu is not really useful, unless you join some botnet coin with aws instances, like zcoin, otherwise only a waste of electricity Title: Re: GUI MINER Cant find my CPU? Post by: Avi3ator on November 09, 2016, 07:53:33 PM As i dont pay my own electricity, i cant go - on mining bitcoins, but until i buy ASIC, what do you recommend doing with 100mhas/s

I strongly suggest you to start right away because if you don't do it you are losing money considering that you have free electricity at your disposal. Title: Re: GUI MINER Cant find my CPU?

I didn't use guiminer since I've tried to mine BTC and DOGE. Please check if you use a miner from this year and for this year's coins. Some miners are for CPU, some for GPU, there's extreme rare case for miner to be good for both. So you should give out more info. And please keep in mind that most coins don't give profit at CPU mining. Title: Re: GUI MINER Cant find my CPU?

Like it has been asked before, it would be a good thing to give us the complete picture to work with ;) - is your electricity really free - how much electricity can you use (it's not because it's free that you can use as much as you want... Your landlord might knock down your door, or your house might catch fire if your breakers aren't ok) - what kind of PC do you have (let's find out if you can mine some CPU minable coins, don't expect to much tough) - what kind of GPU is inside your PC - do you have a budget you can spend - which commandline were you executing when starting the OP? - what is your technical knowledge? |
