Title: Re: Celeron G530 Mining Post by: 420 on July 16, 2012, 04:56:20 PM should be at least 1mh :(
Title: Re: Celeron G530 Mining Post by: John (John K.) on July 17, 2012, 01:30:28 AM should be at least 1mh :( Could be around 2000KH/s (2MH/s) but you're wasting your time. You won't even find a share with that.Title: Re: Celeron G530 Mining Post by: 420 on July 17, 2012, 05:39:39 AM should be at least 1mh :( Could be around 2000KH/s (2MH/s) but you're wasting your time.

But you are comparing a single core CPU at 2 GHz to one of the mainline GPU's used for mining, such as a radeon 5870, which is 1600 cores (!) at 850 MHz. You do the math.

Right now, no processors are worth the time and resources to mine right now, let alone a low end one.

Title: Re: Celeron G530 Mining Post by: stevegee58 on July 17, 2012, 05:15:28 PM Just buy BTC directly. It's much more cost-efficient.

Because at 2MH/s, you're talking about less than 50 shares a day. Which is quite literally 0.001BTC/day. Rather than asking why not, you should be asking why bother?

People haven't cpu mined in 1 - 1.5 years now... Title: Re: Celeron G530 Mining Post by: crazyates on July 18, 2012, 02:57:06 AM This is a low end sandybridge CPU.

It's called a cost benefit analysis. It's just not worth it for the months of life you take off of your CPU/MB/PSU... I can't believe we're even talking about this. I feel like I just got trolled.

It would actually be way more profitable than trying to mine BTC.

It would actually be way more profitable than trying to mine BTC. Have not researched it much, I don't even know the difference with bitcoin/litecoin/namecoin, I just know bitcoin But doesn't a GPU produce Litecoins at the same greater ratio over CPU that it does for bitcoin?

Actually, no, it's quite the opposite. The scaling from CPU -> GPU is MUCH lower for LTC. GPU miners are 100x faster than CPU miners for BTC, but are only 5-10x faster for LTC. It was my understanding that it was designed for such a purpose - mine BTC on your GPU, and LTC on your CPU.
