I have an older CPU with 6 cores but no AES support. I cannot afford to buy a new CPU at the moment but I am loving mining your coin so far I have massed about 300 give or take a few. I would really like to mine in the cluster but it seems that I cannot because all the optimized miners for the cluster are for AES-NI enabled CPU's only. Is there a way that you can optimize a miner without AES support (such as cpuminer 3.5.9.1) to work with the cluster as well. I would just like to say that I am enjoying actually being able to mine this coin on my aged hardware and I would like to see if i can get a few more coins under my belt.
I love reading this post! One thing that was important to us when putting this coin together was to create a coin that would give people a chance. As you know and if you look around and try to mine it's like being a minnow in a shark tank... most coins require expensive graphics cards or high dollar ASICS to mine. The problem with this is it keeps the coin away from the masses and so it's only people who can afford to make substantial investments in hardware who can successfully mine these coins.
We want people to be able to get into this coin easy. Buy it, mine it, grab a bounty whatever you can do. Then we have things set up so that once you get a few coins together you have options to increase them via POS and term deposits. Here again we tried to target the coin to the masses and so you will notice that ROI Coin will POS and term deposit with the wallet locked and completely offline. As you know nearly all coins require you to unlock your wallet and keep it running to stake. Not everybody can do this and not everybody can afford the electrical costs and wear and tear on their hardware. ROI is different and gives people who cannot leave a wallet running the exact same payout for POS and term deposits. This also opens the door to paper wallets which we are working on. In other words you can term deposit ROI coin in a paper wallet and get the full term deposit payout and never even open the wallet!
On your request for additional cluster mining support I would defer that to TheRaster who runs the cluster pool. He has done an incredible job setting this up for the community and from what I've seen he also does a fantastic job responding to and supporting any questions that arise within the community.
Welcome to the community and your enthusiasm and positive experience mining just makes my day!
Thank you for the quick response and I will be sure to contact TheRaster about this issue. And I just made my first term deposit tonight of 293.77877466. I went with 12 months as it is by far the largest gain. We will see how it fairs in that time but either way it has been fun to learn to mine and its nice to see the devs so involved in their project. Just keep up the good work and hopefully your project takes off and we can all make a few bucks off it
