Title: a miner for me
Post by: memberzs on May 03, 2012, 05:16:27 PM
ok, i have tried most of the miners mentioned in the wiki, and in other forums. i cant get any of them to run. I dont have a dedicated graphics card as this is my work computer. cpuminer would run as it couldnt fin open cl devices. is there any other option beside sites that give away a fraction a day, and bitcoinplus?

Without a GPU, you're only going to be making fractions of cents a day

if you have windows or mac I would suggest RPCminer I had a lot of success running that on my mac as a CPU miner

Not even worth using a CPU miner IMHO

It isn't worth it but for a beginner that is just learning and getting your feet wet, it isn't too bad. I haven't made a killing with a CPU miner but it is enough. So CPUmining isn't a complete lost cause for some people.
