How to mine with CPU for scyrpt coins?

[Joshuar]

I have a CPU and it has a maximum speed of 1.70 GHz.

I'm wondering if any of you can help me with setting up a cpuminer to mine at almost the maximum speed, 1.70 GHz.


Sorry if this is a newb question, but I've only recently starting getting into mining and found absolutely no tutorials on this subject. (cgminer only uses 1.7Khz when mining, which is hardly any)

I think there is a missunderstanding here.

While your CPU might run at 1.7 GHz (Hertz https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hertz ) cgminer gives you the speed in kh/s which usually means Kilohash/s. 1h/s would be one hashingoperation per second and needs several CPU circles.

So I would need more Cpu's to get 3kh/s, 8 kh/setc etc? Would using a gpu increase the speed dramatically?

If you are mining scrypt you should use GPU('s) yes. There are some coins however that can not yet be hashed on GPU's yet.

Ohk thanks a lot

so... you are looking for a train to hope in...
VTC , LTC ,
or get some PoW/PoS coins and just start minting
