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.
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:
