Title: Which AltCoin to mine [See My Config Inside] Post by: ajax3592 on December 04, 2013, 12:07:46 PM I want to get into as an "early adapter" to mine some coins which in your opinion have a strong back and will rise in value. The pc which I work on has unused cores.
Based on my config below, which one do you think I should mine. CPU - Intel i5 760 GPU - nVidia GTS 450 RAM - 4GB 1600MHz Thanks P.S - I'm an absolute newbie to mining and open to CPU mining Title: Re: Which AltCoin to mine [See My Config Inside] Post by: ajax3592 on December 04, 2013, 12:55:47 PM Anybody willing to help me out ? Will be greatly appreciated.

You can mine on CPU: Protoshares, Primecoin, Datacoin Title: Re: Which AltCoin to mine [See My Config Inside] Post by: gondel on December 04, 2013, 01:17:31 PM i am mining primecoin with intel 5 core, but difficulty just rised and it seems harder to get one
Title: Re: Which AltCoin to mine [See My Config Inside] Post by: ajax3592 on December 04, 2013, 01:49:05 PM What software do you guys use to mine Primecoins?
Is it the "High Performance Mining Client" from the official site?

Is it the "High Performance Mining Client" from the official site? http://sourceforge.net/projects/primecoin-hp/files/0.1.2-hp11/ And the local thread for it. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=255782.0 Title: Re: Which AltCoin to mine [See My Config Inside] Post by: ajax3592 on December 05, 2013, 05:12:00 AM It's been about 12 hours on the i5 mining XPM, how long before I see my first coin?
Used this command in debug window to start mining. setgenerate true -4 getmininginfo (Data from 12 hours earlier) { "blocks" : 294164, "chainspermin" : 0, "chainsperday" : 0.00000000, "currentblocksize" : 1000, "currentblocktx" : 0, "difficulty" : 9.99090630, "errors" : "", "generate" : true, "genproclimit" : -4, "primespersec" : 0, "pooledtx" : 0, "sieveextensions" : 9, "sievepercentage" : 10, "sievesize" : 1000000, "testnet" : false } getmininginfo (Recent data) { "blocks" : 295003, "chainspermin" : 3, "chainsperday" : 0.27854913, "currentblocksize" : 1000, "currentblocktx" : 0, "difficulty" : 9.99119425, "errors" : "", "generate" : true, "genproclimit" : -4, "primespersec" : 515, "pooledtx" : 0, "sieveextensions" : 9, "sievepercentage" : 10, "sievesize" : 1000000, "testnet" : false } I don't know how to decipher this data above, would be great if someone could understand it for me and teach me. Can anyone look into the data and tell me how long I have to mine to solve one block? Title: Re: Which AltCoin to mine [See My Config Inside] Post by: ajax3592 on December 05, 2013, 05:21:20 AM Alright I just figured out it would take 407 days for me to solve a block :-\
So, would I only get coins after the whole block is solved. Do you think I'm better off joining a XPM pool, if yes, recommend me any. Title: Re: Which AltCoin to mine [See My Config Inside] Post by: zoro on December 05, 2013, 05:38:34 AM ypool.net
Title: Re: Which AltCoin to mine [See My Config Inside] Post by: ajax3592 on December 05, 2013, 04:02:17 PM Alright I want to mine protoshares. I signed up on Ypool.
And downloaded the "jhprotominer-yvg1900-M7gf-win64-generic" miner. Now, I can't figure out how to run it. I'm a noob at mining. How do I start the .exe to run ? Do I have to run it through cmd, if yes then please give the commands, it doesn't works with "jhProtoMiner.exe -o http://ypool.net -u < MY username>.<PTS_1> -p <MY password> -t 4 " |
