Title: Is everything OK with this slow old comptuer? Post by: bobbert on April 22, 2013, 08:00:33 PM I have a older core quad I decided to put guiminer to pick up a few fractions of a bitcoin here and there. Is it doing ok?
It seems slow... https://i.imgur.com/vTLIvCI.png and the client uses all if the last processor... https://i.imgur.com/IgIwVya.png It's probably cause it's old, but I want to be sure.

But yeah, you wont make a lot.

to get the max out of you computer set up 2 tabs the one youve got now as tab 1 and unselect core 3 and set up a 2nd tab for the CPU and select device as CPU and select all 4 of the cpu affinity boxes i loled when i saw the GPU my CPU puts out that per core and its and AMD Phenom II 970 Title: Re: Is everything OK with this slow old comptuer? Post by: ISAWHIM on April 22, 2013, 08:31:14 PM Best expected CPU speeds I have seen is about 2.8MH/s... My OLD GPU GTX9800 does 23.4MH/s alone... and won't kill my CPU in the process. I don't care if my GPU dies, I have three others to replace it!
(@ $125USD per BTC) 2.8MH/s = about $0.017 a day 23.4MH/s = about $0.16 a day 230MH/s = $1.64 a day 2300MH/s or 2.3GH/s = $16.45 a day 25GH/s = $168.75 a day 250GH/s = $1,687.55 a day Until the next difficulty level, then divide that result by 8... Then the next difficulty... Divide that by 16... Then the next difficulty... Divide that by 32... EG... 25MH/s = $0.17 a day = $0.005 a day, after the difficulty has increased 3x 250MH/s = $1.68 a day = $0.05 a day, after the difficulty has increased 3x 2.5GH/s = $16.87 a day = $0.53 a day, after the difficulty has increased 3x 25GH/s = $168.75 a day = $5.27 a day, after the difficulty has increased 3x 250GH/s = $1,687.55 a day = $52.73 a day, after the difficulty has increased 3x Title: Re: Is everything OK with this slow old comptuer? Post by: Thyem on April 22, 2013, 08:42:07 PM What would you recommend as the best option for someone to casually mine some Bitcoins? Buy a few AMD 7950? or something else?

Title: Re: Is everything OK with this slow old comptuer? Post by: AskMiners.com on April 22, 2013, 11:43:15 PM You should mine LiteCoins since they are more profitable and you can also mine with your CPU too...
