OKAY, I've been able to figure out the knumps part, so I can compare the new machine, with the machine that I'm running right now. However, that's been running a whole day on a x64 miner before, so I don't really have a good overview how big the difference between x86 & x64 is (quite large as far as I understand), so that's all that remains...

Any suggestions on how I could most easily compare these?

Hey guys,

As I can't post somewhere else yet (quite frustrating, because I know exactly who can help me, but I can't reply in his topic). Maybe some of you guys know?

For technical reasons that I won't go into detail about, a large part of my machines are identical devices (Good core I5, 4 GB ram, integrated gfx card). As GPU mining is impossible I looked forward towards CPU mining and landed myself with Purecoin.

Been playing around with my personal machine and mining works reasonably well. And now I wanted to give the rest of my machines a go, the catch is that these are all x86 devices and miners are generally x64 as it's a lot faster (nothing I can do about it I'm afraid). Found myself the following miner (x86) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=340985.0

Now, this guys calculates not in PPS (like other miners seem to do) but with knumps (kilonumbers per second).
While mining I can't see the number of knumps I'm getting (perhaps I'm just blind, but I can't find it). Now suppose I can find it, I would like to know +- how many PPS I can compare this number to. So I can calculate if it's worth my time.

*I can't really get it figured myself without extra info, not a math wizard I'm afraid

Maybe 1 of you fine people have any idea how I should proceed?

Hello.

This is my first post here, and the only reason that I'm creating this post is because the forum rules force me to post here before I can send someone a PM or reply to his topic.
The reason for this I cannot comprehend as the only reason to create an account for me is to ask a question which is not explained in the topic (why the speed of his XPMminer is measured in knumps instead of PPS). I've tried looking it up online, but alas I could not find it, nor can I find any way to do the math to recalculate it... Thus I need to contact the owner of the topic to be able to figure it out.

The topic creator would also become very happy as if he can answer my question and solve the connected problem I would be very happy and thank him with some XPM

I'm sorry for the spampost here, but my knowledge of bitcoin/altcoins is quite basic so I don't understand what else I can contribute at this point...
