Title: What is best for me? bitcoin.cz or bitcoinplus?
Post by: Eduardo on May 21, 2011, 04:15:29 PM
Hi guys, I just started mining yesterday but I've been reading a lot about it.

I've come across two ways of mining, one from the browser (bitcoinplus.com) and other with a cpu miner (puddinpop cpu miner with mining.bitcoin.cz). I have 5 cpu only machines and yesterday I did a little experiment, 2 machines with bitcoinplus and 2 machines with cpu miner. I supposed that the machines with the cpu miner would mine a lot more than the ones with bitcoinplus, but, this wasn't the case, my web miners generated twice as much as the cpu miners...

I didn't get any error message from the cpu miners and they seem to work fine, but this can't be right, right? Got any advice for a noob miner?

Yes.. CPU are just to slow vs GPU.. So ether you have an AMD ATI GPU, then use PPS system or maybe you should just play with Namecoins (http://bitparking.com/pool) as it's still low difficulty you can still get a little to do. Still it's very complex to play with Namecoins as it's not very developed yet for noobs..
