Title: Only Using 20% CPU Post by: Ambassador on June 06, 2011, 02:40:28 AM I am just getting started with this. I am using the GUIMiner -v2011-05-21. It has been saying 3.3Mhash/s for about an hour now. I am only using an AMD Phenom II X6 1055. Like I said, I am just getting started. Earlier I was using the bitcoin generate coins setting and it was using 100% CPU, but I understand that would take a long time. Do I need more workers? Currently it says 0.000 BTC confirmed. Also on the deepbit site it is showing 0.00 MH/s Average speed in last 10 minutes
I would appreciate any guidance, thank you! Title: Re: Only Using 20% CPU Post by: ocharry on June 06, 2011, 04:22:32 AM Mining using your CPU will take a very long time to get results. Do you have a decent GPU? They'll go multiples of times faster.
Title: Re: Only Using 20% CPU Post by: Ambassador on June 06, 2011, 12:38:00 PM My title is misleading because it seems like it is using the GPU. It is just not a very good one. I let it run all night and no results. Should I be seeing something? I have an AMD six core processor. I would think that would do something. I am reading that the ATI 5970 is the way to go. Is this true?

Is this true? Yeah, DONT use a cpu for generating coins (either solo or pooling), just a waste of power. Get a couple of decent GPU's (just ordered 2 5830's myself, should get about ~600mh/s from them, which is an improvement on my 30mh/s :P) |
