Title: Is there any working CPU/GPU solo mining software still available for learning? Post by: powvex on August 22, 2023, 07:12:50 PM Is there any working CPU/GPU BTC solo mining open source software still available for learning purpose?
Preferably in C Any help appreciated. Title: Re: Is there any working CPU/GPU solo mining software still available for learning? Post by: kano on August 22, 2023, 10:46:52 PM No.
... and you wont learn anything using it. You're pretty much saying, I want to learn about mining for gold by picking apples at an apple orchard.

Thanks kano, you're the only remaining active developer of cgminer I assume. you did a great job. I've used cgminer a long time ago for that purpose but now I think everything has been changed. So I need a working example in order to achieve my goal. Title: Re: Is there any working CPU/GPU solo mining software still available for learning?

Pooler’s cpuminer compiles on recent machines and has optimizations for various CPU architectures. Give it a try, I found the C source very informative. https://github.com/pooler/cpuminer To solo mine you’ll need to point it at a stratum server configured for solo mining. Public-pool is a good option; https://web.public-pool.io/ but there are several others too! Title: Re: Is there any working CPU/GPU solo mining software still available for learning?

I have some question/ideas will ask you in your topic. Title: Re: Is there any working CPU/GPU solo mining software still available for learning?

So I need a working example in order to achieve my goal. Why not share your thoughts here what exactly do you want to achieve? We can maybe give you some idea of what you want to achieve. I don't know if GPU/CPU still works on mining BTC but why not buy a USB stick miner Compact F or 2pac for your project?

You should check out the nerdminer source; https://github.com/BitMaker-hub/NerdMiner_v2 Title: Re: Is there any working CPU/GPU solo mining software still available for learning?

Post by: deepblue01 on December 29, 2023, 03:57:50 AM I dont think CPU/GPU mining is profitable especially for bitcoin/litecoin.
I've tried it with i5 gen 12400f and Nvidia GTX 1630 and you got less than 0.5$ per day No. lol... and you wont learn anything using it. You're pretty much saying, I want to learn about mining for gold by picking apples at an apple orchard. |
