Any ideas?

I tried Ubuntu Server with the same results....

OK guys, I can't figure this out.

I have 2 x Xeon E5-2660's (v1) in a Dell R620 server and with Verium (the miner linked earlier cpuminer 1.4) and memory lock of pages on I am only getting around 3000 h/m total. My i5-4590 machines are now getting 1900 (after leaving them running for a while they ramped up from 1200 to 1900, guess I wasn't waiting for that before declaring a 'speed') and I can't figure out why my server is so low in comparison.

I was really expecting more from the server..... There is 4 x 8GB 2Rx4 PC3L - 10600R sticks of memory in A1, A2, B1 and B2 slots.

I have tried 4 x 8GB of 2Rx8 PC3 - 12800U, same slots, and it maybe gained 100 or so hashes, but not much difference.

Is there a setting in the BIOS or Drac maybe I'm missing? Is it a RAM issue?

Oh, I am running Windows 10 on all machines and BIOS updated on the server to latest version.

Appreciate any suggestions....

Unlock your PM’s from Newbies, I’ll send you what information I’ve been able to figure out so far.

I did try a cpu miner and a pool tonight, although not the one you listed, well same pool, different miner (I’ll look into the one you posted) and got a high of 3350 with all 32 cores. I read a document today were people were submitting their rates and the processors I have are listed way higher, which is what made me think something isn’t quite running right on mine... I tried faster ram tonight, but the hashes on the Vault miner were the same, so I guess I can rule that out.

I’m in 2 minds about pool vs Solo...I know the pool gets me a somewhat regular payout, but I like the idea of finding a block myself and getting all the reward....might try both on different machines and see... I have been mining Electroneum on all my PC’s but I’m always trying others for experience and education which is part of the fun for me....and I’m sure the Electric Company like it too :-)

I am pretty new to this too, and I only started mining Verium a few days ago but if this helps, here is what I have noticed...

I have a Dell R620 server with 2x Xeon E5-2660 8 core processors in it, and a few Dell T1700’s with i5-4590’s in them and when I started up the ‘Vault’ I get around 1000 hashes with the i5 (3 cores) and only 2000 ‘ish with the dual Xeon’s with 31 cores and 32 GB of RAM. I backed down to 16 cores and the hash rate is very similar. There may well be a way to tweak miner software to improve that, but there is obviously something that the Verium requires (more Ram, more cache, hyperthreading issue) that is not being satisfied by my hardware and the Verium Vault miner.

I know that isn’t a definitive answer, but if you know how much the odroids cost and how much they hash, and how much less power they most likely use (the dual Xeons in my server pull about 225 watts total when mining) I think the odroids sound like a good option... my 2 cents.
