best cpuminer algorithm for intel i7-4770 ?

[McKinley]

anyone know what's the best search algorithm on an intel i7-4770 for cpuminer ?

Hi there.

If I understand what you are asking, it is "scrypt", which is incompatible with all the others (phatk, poclbm, etc...). However it is the one that should be used for CPUs or videocards.

Select a mining pool that mines such scrypt coins, like one mining Litecoin, Feathercoin, Worldcoin or a pool like hashco.ws or multipool.us

thanks, in understand, that with this CPU its better to use a scrypt algorithm ?
As the algorithm isn't available on the Bitcoin Miner "cpuminer", i asume you tell me that its therefore better to use the CPU for mining other than Bitcoins with this algo.

i.e. with Litecoins as described here: http://cryptocur.com/litecoin/litecoin-mining/

If my asumption's right, thanks.
If i did misunderstand, please explain.

cheers,

Do not mine Bitcoins or Litecoins with CPU. ASIC (Bitcoins ) or GPU (Litecoins ) can be used for these two which is MUCH more effecient than CPU

Yes, with a CPU, you should mine at a pool that accepts the scrypt algorithm. From here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/cpuminer/, cpuminer supports scrypt (since it mentions litecoin).

You can mine whatever scrypt coin you like, trade it for bitcoins (e.g. at cryptsy.com) or not, or just point your miner to a pool that does the latter automatically. For a list of coins, look at coinchoose.com

As a starting point, register at https://hashco.ws or http://www.multipool.us. Leave the miner running for 2 or 3 days. Then evaluate if it is worthwhile the power usage, noise, heat, equipment degradation and hassle.

With CPU, mine only CPU minable coins like primecoin

Sha256d and Scrypt coins are waste of electricity to mine with CPU

The primecoin boat has left too. Just because a coin has no competition from GPUs does not mean it is easy to get or is worth something.
