Title: new CPU miner Post by: rysic on May 14, 2013, 07:32:18 PM Hello everybody!
I wanted to start with bitcoin mining on few unused servers. There is no GPU so I decided to use cpuminer - minerd. I also chose one pool mining.bitcoin.cz (hope it is OK) but there is requirement to use Stratum client or Stratum proxy. Is there any stratum native CPU (without proxy) client? Second question is that I can see few algorithms in minerd: scrypt scrypt(1024, 1, 1) (default) sha256d SHA-256d what is the difference it chosing algorithms? Please don't be angry about any language mistakes, I'm not native EN Title: Re: new CPU miner Post by: jamesgarfield on May 14, 2013, 08:43:16 PM With Cpu you might as well give up, theres no hope in making any good money.

Title: Re: new CPU miner Post by: buddrulez on May 14, 2013, 09:06:02 PM Dont even waste your time with a cpu. Even gpu mining is becoming hopeless now!
Title: Re: new CPU miner Post by: buddrulez on May 14, 2013, 09:08:59 PM And this is why you shouldn't bother:

Scrypt for LTC sha256d for BTC But dont mine with CPU, it is now only waste of electricity and your computer Title: Re: new CPU miner Post by: zuerdemon on May 14, 2013, 09:25:52 PM And this is why you shouldn't bother: http://anonymouse.org/cgi-bin/anon-www.cgi/http://img826.imageshack.us/img826/1954/omgcn.png (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/826/omgcn.png/) Uploaded with ImageShack.us (http://imageshack.us) You tested it on your 15 year old laptop taken right from garrage junk? Title: Re: new CPU miner Post by: zimmerland on May 14, 2013, 09:38:25 PM waste of money
Title: Re: new CPU miner Post by: BitcoinBoss on May 14, 2013, 10:12:08 PM CPU mining BTC is kind of pointless, it will take ages to make a few satoshi. I have had some fun practice mining LTC with CPU, but puts my laptop under too much strain so going to save up for a desktop with couple of GPU's before I continue with mining LTC. :)
Title: Re: new CPU miner Post by: miztic on May 14, 2013, 10:13:20 PM My i7 cranks out a hefty 13.5MH/sec ::)
totally not worth the hassle. Title: Re: new CPU miner Post by: bonsai99 on May 14, 2013, 10:58:21 PM You would be better off selling those servers and buying an ASIC miner off of ebay for $500.
Title: Re: new CPU miner Post by: clowe on May 15, 2013, 12:18:15 AM You're going to spend more on electricity than you will make on practically any cryptocoin as far as I'm aware.
Even GPU mining is rapidly becoming completely unprofitable. Title: Re: new CPU miner Post by: BTCoder on May 15, 2013, 12:54:37 AM Hello everybody!

Title: Re: new CPU miner Post by: Flummoxx on May 15, 2013, 01:18:19 AM I'd say if you just wanna have some fun mining, point your cpu at a coin that gives you the most coins a day. Maybe Chinacoin or PPC...or just wait till the next, new, hot altcoin of the hour comes out and mine it. This is an uneducated guess, but it might be that your energy costs are cheaper than a wire fee to get your money into exchanges.

Title: Re: new CPU miner Post by: evilscoop on May 15, 2013, 01:36:37 AM someone mention yacoin plz....
if you wanna cpu mine, mine yac on scrypt-jane.... otherwise, give up Title: Re: new CPU miner Post by: rysic on May 15, 2013, 07:33:02 AM scrypt-jane? What is it?
It is rather for fun. I have power for free :D |
