Hi I went thru quite a few resources here and still unsure of the optimum -t config for my CPU.
I tried between 4, 6, 8, 16 and 33 threads but -t 4 seems to give me the highest at around 176 h/s on xmr

I'm running the Xeon Platinum 8186 (skylake) @270GHz
L2 cache 2 x 1MB 16-way
L3 cache 2 x33MB 11-way


Anyone can advise how many threads I should ideally use?


many thanks

Hello I am having trouble beginning mining, can someone assist me?

NsCpuCNMiner64.exe doesn't open and creates a logfile which says
 -f50   Missed required command line options!

 pool64.bat opens but i am given this text https://ibb.co/c7ncSQ

I have had issues with every mining software I have tried, including claymores gpu miner.

Thanks in advance.
