Title: Check my pool mining results please Post by: BitMarket Square on February 15, 2011, 05:16:08 PM So I got up and running puddinpop's RPC miner for cpu on my machine. I have created an acct at slushes pool, and registered the worker. Here is a sample of the output of the cmd prompt.
The [".........b4e31fcd......."] is a really long string I didn't feel like typing out ;) Code: ... 1. Is this the expected output? 2. Is it working properly? On my Bitcoin client window the bottom info area says this: Code: {blank no khash/s} 20 connections 108257 blocks Is the khash/s being blank supposed to be like that? Thanks for the help.....

And no, the client shouldn't say anything in terms of kh/s because it's not using the built in miner, you're using a third party one.

What you see is your client chugging along at about 2300 khash/s until it found a share in the pool. Chances are high that you didn't find a winning block that the Bitcoin network would accept, but you've obtained a tiny sliver of the pie once that block is eventually found by someone in the pool. Your client thinks it found a winning hash though, so it reports it as such.
As you have a relatively powerful CPU there, I'd look and see if your GPU supports CUDA or OpenCL. A GPU miner (like one of the 4 *.exe files you already have downloaded in the RPC package) can achieve fairly high khash/s figures with less strain on your CPU. The GPU on my laptop, for instance, supports CUDA although it required a driver update before it would work, and it's just as fast as my two CPU cores combined running at max speed. This is with a relatively weak GPU, even by laptop standards. Title: Re: Check my pool mining results plesee Post by: BitMarket Square on February 15, 2011, 10:08:39 PM Seems correct.

That after I updated to the latest driver from nVidia's website. |
