Title: good cpu miner Post by: n00bwastaken on May 03, 2013, 02:39:41 PM used guiminer, but it doesn't use cpu. I just have a few old laptops which I am considering to farm pool.
Any good tips on a cpu miner? Title: Re: good cpu miner Post by: crew64m1 on May 03, 2013, 03:25:44 PM Don't use cpu for mining at all. Google for 'bitcoin mining hardware comparison' or 'litecoin mining hardware comparison' and deside whether to mine with CPU
Title: Re: good cpu miner Post by: ChartBuddy on May 03, 2013, 03:36:19 PM Agreed. But bitcoin-qt can CPU mine if you're really determined.

Title: Re: good cpu miner Post by: Tursk on May 03, 2013, 03:44:10 PM bfgminer worked fine with AMD Phenom II.
poclbm works too, tried today with AMD A10-5800K APU. Although CPU mining technically works, it isn't useful when speeds are <10 MH/s.

I with my graphics card ... it takes me 5 days to have only 0.05 BTC (average 180Mh/s)... not even want to imagine the time it would if it were in CPU. Title: Re: good cpu miner Post by: wesleyrbk on May 03, 2013, 04:58:36 PM Don't mine BTC/LTC with a CPU. But its perfectly acceptable to mine CNC with it for example. 50kh/s nets you about 1CNC per hour. That is 24 per day. Its not that much but It may be in the near future.
Title: Re: good cpu miner Post by: inetpromo on May 03, 2013, 05:23:28 PM I'm a newbie but I have a unique situation where I don't have to worry about power consumption (to a point) as I am in a high rise office building in Dallas and the power is included in my rent. What would you guys recommend as far as graphics cards to get started mining? Remembering I don't have to worry about power consumption.
Thanks Title: Re: good cpu miner Post by: wesleyrbk on May 03, 2013, 05:26:53 PM I'm a newbie but I have a unique situation where I don't have to worry about power consumption (to a point) as I am in a high rise office building in Dallas and the power is included in my rent. What would you guys recommend as far as graphics cards to get started mining? Remembering I don't have to worry about power consumption. Thanks I would go for a 7950 or a 7970.

Thanks For the price / performance I would go with a 7950. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125414 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125414) This one has been a great card for me. Title: Re: good cpu miner Post by: polymyxa on May 03, 2013, 05:59:52 PM I use pooler cpu miner with a intel 3930K. It gives 83 additional kh/s (litecoin).
Title: Re: good cpu miner Post by: feeleep on May 04, 2013, 04:29:08 AM pooler CPU miner is the best - if you have access to few PCs where you can setup night job its pretty profitable
Title: Re: good cpu miner Post by: zzz321 on May 04, 2013, 04:42:54 AM pooler CPU miner is the best - if you have access to few PCs where you can setup night job its pretty profitable Could you explain more on that? I have a few desktops that have been sitting around. Granted one needs a new motherboard and the other is about 5 years old. Could I/Should I set them up to mine? If so, how could I go about doing this? Pls PM! Title: Re: good cpu miner Post by: Minnelli on May 04, 2013, 04:45:00 AM cgminer hands down. Use it for BTC and LTC.
Bitminter has an interesting java app. Title: Re: good cpu miner Post by: Caatoon on May 04, 2013, 07:21:18 AM I'm using cgminer for BTC, LTC and CNC.
Title: Re: good cpu miner Post by: ampbuster on May 04, 2013, 09:10:25 AM Pooler's CPU Miner is the best so far :)
