1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: An (even more) optimized version of cpuminer on: February 01, 2014, 12:22:21 AM
minerd.exe – url=stratum+tcp://stratum7.dogehouse.org:9090 –userpass=ikinga:x
Please make sure those options start with two hyphens (--), not with a Unicode dash, and that there is no space after the hyphens.

My GPU mining through cgminer is going fine to my pool, however CPUMiner is acting strange. It is not showing me sending any hashes. This is what it is showing almost all the time: https://i.imgur.com/eakS25T.png
What's going on?
If you send me the exact parameters you're using to connect I can give it a try.

minerd.exe -o http://127.0.0.1:8332 -u <my BTC ID> -p <anything>

I am connecting to middlecoin.com:3333 within my Mining Proxy that is listening on 8332.

Hi, I downloaded it and configured it by creating a shortcut to the "minered" and edited it with:

C:\Users\my.name.domain\Documents\mine\pooler-cpuminer-2.3.2-win64\minerd.exe – url=stratum+tcp://stratum7.dogehouse.org:9090 –userpass=ikinga:x

my.name.domain are obviously my personal info...

when I double click on it... it crashes. What did I do wrong?

Make a bat file instead of a shortcut, with the same command line information. However, after the main line in the bat, add a second line that says Pause. This will keep the command prompt window open instead of closing, showing you the error you are encountering.

Is mining on the CPU less effective than GPU, and that is why solutions aren't coming up as commonly as they do in a GPU based miner?
It depends on what you mean by "effective", but I would say it is. Mining with a "good" GPU is certainly more efficient than mining with a CPU, at least. For a more complete answer you should consult the mining hardware comparison.
The rate at which solutions get accepted depends both on your hash rate and on the share difficulty set by the pool. In general you need not care about it, especially given that share difficulty can vary dynamically.

xxxxx\pooler-cpuminer-2.3.2-win64\minerd.exe --url=stratum+tcp://de2.miningpool.co:4101 --userpass=xx:xx
Any other commands to expand on this as after 5 minutes it gets disconnected.
No. If it gets disconnected it's almost certainly either the pool's or your Internet connection's fault (most probably the pool's). I'm always happy to test mining servers for compatibility, but I cannot even connect to the one mentioned above.

I have a quad core Intel chip, and CPUMiner is doing four threads (I assume this is how it's supposed to work, 1 thread per core?) I do not have a hyper-threaded processor.

Question 1: 1 thread to per 1 non-hyperthreaded core?
Question 2: I don't always see "accepted: x/y (%) xx.xx khash/s (yay!!!)". How often is this supposed to come up? I assume it's supposed to happen after every thread computes some khashes, but it isn't. Some additional information on this process would be very appreciated.


Thanks all!
5  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: 5870 fan auto increasing speed in short bursts at 90c~ on: January 27, 2014, 08:09:58 AM
I have done exactly that Smiley

However I am really perplexed to why this fan is going nuts like it is.

Bump, this is happening at 50c as well. Pretty much it thinks it needs more fan, but only does it in bursts. So weird.
7  Bitcoin / Mining support / 5870 fan auto increasing speed in short bursts at 90c~ on: January 25, 2014, 07:15:17 AM
At around the 90c~ mark, the fan on my 5870 will do quick bursts to get to around 50% speed. Before then, it was running at around 40%. Regardless of percentage, it does this, will do quick bursts raising the speed up another 10% for half a sec increments, over and over, until temps go below 90c again.

Any idea why this might be happening?


Thanks!
