Hello all,
My name is Anne from The Netherlands and I am new here. I read some articles about the Roicoin as a CPU mining coin and I like the idea therefore I decide to try to mine some coins with my old XP computer in spite of the fact that I have no experience with mining coins and if my old computer is able to do this.
The processor of my computer is a 3,00 gigahertz Intel Pentium 4 with 8 kilobyte primary memory cache and 512 kilobyte secondary memory cache, Hyper-threaded (2 total)
The O.S is: Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3.
I downloaded the file "ROIcoin-qt_x32_v1100" and start the wallet. It was working for one hour showing the message:
"Catching up...processed 25014 blocks of transaction history, last received block was generated 2 weeks ago transaction after this will not yet be visible".
After that appears the following message On the left down side of the screen "No block source available..."
On the Debug window: there is one node 153.213.96.231:3377.
This situation is staying for more than 15 hours.
Will be happy if anyone will try to help me solving this problem.
Anne
Hi Anne,
Welcome to ROI. Bad news to hear but Pentium 4 is not a very good CPU to mine with. You will be lucky to get 10 to 15 h/s and won't be very profitable at those rates. Although the Pentium 4 was a good CPU back in the day, they're not very efficient today. You can try to upgrade your cpu to a dual core if your motherboard allows it. More than likely you have a foxnett ls-36 motherboard and depending on the socket may be able to upgrade but dell made several different sockets for these motherboards unlike AMD who has kept the same two sockets for several years. Very unlikely to upgrade. I would recommend if this is your old computer to just run your newer one at night or while afk. Good luck and hope you find this information useful
