Title: Any Best Mining Software?
Post by: khvmaths on December 18, 2013, 12:13:13 PM
I'm currently running on Linux and Windows.

  • For Linux, which is the best?
  • For Windows, which is the best? ???

SPECS FOR WINDOWS MACHINE:
i5 1.70 ghz
4gb RAM
HD 4000

SPECS FOR LINUX MACHINE:
i3 1.70 ghz
2gb RAM
HD 4000

Thanks in advance. ;)

I wouldn't dare claim it to be the best, but I quite enjoy using MultiMiner for Windows at http://nwoolls.github.io/MultiMiner/

It's easy because it allows you to set multiple pools; so that if one fails it jumps to the other one. It 'auto-updates', looks nice and is relatively easy to use. The only thing missing is the miner arguments which you'll have to dig up for your GFX-card. Note that MultiMiner seems to run solely on GPU (based on BFGMiner if I am not mistaken)

For CPU based mining on Linux/Unix console you can use
http://sourceforge.net/projects/cpuminer/

CPU based mining is slow (If you can use GPU) for example: 8 threads on i7-2600 CPU @ 3.40GHz
give you about 46-50 khash/s.

Best GPU cards compute about 800 khash/s

I tried to mine btc on my computer but it is very slow. Im planning to build my own soon and you guys have nice machines. Hopefully the price of BTC does not drop lol.
