Title: CPU Mining Post by: Davis14 on January 29, 2014, 12:07:46 AM I know CPU mining is bad but what software could I use to try it out or how can I get it on guiminer.

You will be very disappointed with CPU mining :-\ Title: Re: CPU Mining Post by: Cards4Coin on January 29, 2014, 01:04:29 AM You will waste more power than you will ever generate in BTC. Even GPUs are practically worthless for mining and can hardly pay their own power bill, not to mention all the heat they generate. You can get an idea of what your expected hash rate will be here: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison#CPUs.2FAPUs (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison#CPUs.2FAPUs) It also lists the miner software used and the settings they had for the most part. You can try some of those miners if they are even still maintained. ~15 MHash/s for a decent CPU is not worth the effort it takes to get everything installed and running, but if you have nothing but free time and just want to see how it works, go for it.

I have made quiet a few coins doing this, but mining alt coins not bitcoins!Title: Re: CPU Mining Post by: sgk on January 29, 2014, 06:54:02 AM I know CPU mining is bad but what software could I use to try it out or how can I get it on guiminer. If you have a new generation CPU like Intel core i7, you can try scrypt mining on Alt-Coins. I have tried mining on i7 in past and I was getting around 50 khash/sec, so don't extpect huge profits, but you will at least learn basics of mining and can move forward.For CPU mining, use Pooler's CPU miner (google it or search this forum).

I can assure u that rather than CPU mining Bitcoin, u'll make more from my signature in less time.

You are talking 20 Mhashes with SHA256 mining, while 50 Khashes refers to SCRYPT mining.

Title: Re: CPU Mining Post by: sgk on January 30, 2014, 10:10:27 AM Whether it will be profitable or not depends on how teh prices of the coins you mine rise or fall. For example you could be mining some new coin which does not seem to be profitable. But you keep collecting them; then some day the coin appears on Cryptsy and other exchanges and the value skyrockets.
