Title: Need help, no miner works for me Post by: awigaxeh-443 on March 19, 2012, 04:12:21 PM I can't get any miner to work on my basic desktop, what are my options?
Title: Re: Need help, no miner works for me Post by: awigaxeh-443 on March 19, 2012, 04:36:29 PM Intel Quad Core Q8200 2.33Ghz
4 GB ram No GPU 64 bit operating system Tried Diablo, CG, BTCM, etc.. Most miners just crash or ask for opencl.dll Title: Re: Need help, no miner works for me Post by: Gabi on March 19, 2012, 04:38:34 PM Quote No GPU Excuse me but with what do you want to mine?Miners run on GPU, no GPU=you can't mine Of course they say no OpenCL.dll, you have no GPU Sure, you "can" mine with your CPU but it is just wasting power and time Title: Re: Need help, no miner works for me Post by: awigaxeh-443 on March 19, 2012, 04:39:47 PM lmao, you just said one thing then the other
obviously with cpu Title: Re: Need help, no miner works for me Post by: Gabi on March 19, 2012, 04:49:45 PM Mining with CPU is, as i said, just wasting time and power.
You can try mining Litecoins with CPU and trade them for bitcoins, it's a much better way to use your CPU. Title: Re: Need help, no miner works for me Post by: awigaxeh-443 on March 19, 2012, 04:52:40 PM alright, please do tell what litecoin cpu miner should I use?

Title: Re: Need help, no miner works for me Post by: Gabi on March 19, 2012, 05:06:07 PM http://pool-x.eu/gettingstarted
Just download the 64bit version and run it. And if you want use Pool-x as a pool. @nothing: that is a bitcoin miner. And, indeed, 13Mhash/s using 8 core is wasting power... Title: Re: Need help, no miner works for me Post by: neo_rage on March 19, 2012, 05:13:45 PM Really, no AMD GPU=no gain.

There is a GPU client on Litecoin now too, CPU mining on it is pretty much pointless now Title: Re: Need help, no miner works for me Post by: awigaxeh-443 on March 19, 2012, 07:10:21 PM alright, please do tell what litecoin cpu miner should I use? http://ufasoft.com/open/bitcoin/I'm using this on one of my dedicated servers with a single xeon proc (8x thread) and I'm pulling 13Mhash/s. btcm doesn't work for me Title: Re: Need help, no miner works for me Post by: marked on March 19, 2012, 10:29:59 PM alright, please do tell what litecoin cpu miner should I use? http://ufasoft.com/open/bitcoin/I'm using this on one of my dedicated servers with a single xeon proc (8x thread) and I'm pulling 13Mhash/s. Under no circumstances should you be using a bitcoin miner on a litecoin pool, unless it can run the scrypt algorithm Impressive hash rate, 0 litecoins or bitcoins. Use pooler's Litecoin miner (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=55038.msg654850#msg654850), and point it at one of the litecoin pools listed in the alternative cryptocurrencies topic (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=67.0). http://litecoinpool.org:9332 http://mine.pool-x.eu:8337 http://miningpool.com:9350 http://funcoin.org: http://ejpool.info:8080 marked Title: Re: Need help, no miner works for me Post by: Qoheleth on March 19, 2012, 10:42:02 PM Abort abort! Yes, there exists such a client. But because of opportunity cost, it hasn't caught on.There is a GPU client on Litecoin now too, CPU mining on it is pretty much pointless now Right now, comparing the LTC difficulty to the BTC difficulty, and the hashrates a particular GPU can give you on each, there's no point in using your GPU on Litecoin; you'd be getting an order of magnitude more money from mining BTC. So GPUs are not as of yet a threat to CPU mining on Litecoin, nor will they be until Litecoin becomes much more valuable or the Bitcoin difficulty increases dramatically.

Title: Re: Need help, no miner works for me Post by: marked on March 20, 2012, 09:14:47 AM ufasoft's miner does scrypt useful - I knew one or two miners did but couldn't remember which ones. However I didn''t think you could get 10+ Mhash/s out of a CPU at the moment (though I may not be following closely enough as I don't have a powerful/multi-cored enough CPU.) How does it compare against pooler's miner? marked Title: Re: Need help, no miner works for me Post by: R0MEO on March 20, 2012, 11:49:59 AM Really, no AMD GPU=no gain. You're wrong while GTX680 with 1536 SP is coming out :DTitle: Re: Need help, no miner works for me Post by: neo_rage on March 20, 2012, 12:15:12 PM Let's talk while it's come out.

You're wrong while GTX680 with 1536 SP is coming out :DI could get one of those AMD 24-core server cpu's to mine for around 100MH's (estimated), but the electric costs and the processor cost would be exorbitant. (around $4600 each) |
