Title: Solomining with wallet for multi-core?
Post by: SteveoMB on February 03, 2014, 01:21:06 PM
Hey folks.
My question is specific for solomining with a wallet. I know how to min with cgminer and on pools, but I want to know how mining on a wallet works.
I have a Xeon 1230 and have 8 cores. When I start mining with the wallet, does it use all cores or just one?
I need kind of an instruction to run it on all cores and by best settings, if this is even possible.

Thanks in advance.

cheers,
SteveoMB

If you want to try mining with your CPU, you should try some CPU-only coins.

'setgenerate true 1' will use 1 core
'setgenerate true 8' will use 8 cores
'setgenerate true -1' will use all the cores found
'setgenerate true' will use all cores
