Mining with E5-2650 (8 cores 16 threads)

[robboman]

Hey guys,

I've got a server which I can rent for free a month. It has a Intel E5-2650 with 8 physical cores, and 16 threads.

I'm a newbie at mining but tried to start mining quark a bit. Here's my question: When it starts mining it shows around 90ish khash for 8 threads. Should it not show 16 threads? On my laptop with 2 physical cores and 4 threads it does show 4 threads correctly? Is this normal, or should I edit some settings ore something? Using minerd64_sse4 btw.
thanks guys

Also Like I said I'm getting around 80ish khash per thread, so around 640khash in total. How much would that earn me per day at the current quark difficulty rate/price when mining in a pool? Is that a good hash rate for this CPU? it runs at 2ghz per core, with 2,8 turbo clock.

the CPU supports SSE4.1 and SSE4.2 so is it correct I'm running the minderd64_sse4 version? Does that utilize the SSE4.2?

thanks guys

CPU mining is never profitable but if you want to do it I suggest joining a pool. As far as the threads goes you might need to run two separate instances. I don't know the exact mechanics of Quark but maybe each instance limits it to 8 threads. I know similar CPU coins had this problem.

Thanks for the response. How can cpu mining not be profitable when it's a cpu only coin? 2 separate instances wouldn't work I think. Just 1 already uses 100% cpu.

Unsure then but you might get a better answer on the quark reddit. Also, as for profitability, lots of people don't mine for profit but rather the fun of it. You could just mine scrypt coins and exchange them for Quark and that will get you more of them a lot quicker, but that's just what I would do.

So if I understand u correctly it would be more profitable to just mine a other crypt coin although they are prob fasted mined with GPU, and then trade them for quark correct? I heard there is a program that checks which coin is most profitable, will search it
