[XMR] What Hardware and Software do you use to mine the MONERO XMR

[elrippo]

Hy there,

i find it rather interesting, what hardware can and actually is used to mine the XMR.
Post whatever you like, if you own a farm or if you stress your Desktop to get a buck out of it.

It would be helpful to get a dedicated list of used hardware, miningspeed, used Software, used wattage and what you are going to do with your mined XMR´s (only if you want us to know)

I am looking forward to a nice thread with lot´s of contributors!

Kind regards,
elrippo

Try moving your thread to altcoin discussion.

But from what I understand it is a CryptoNight Algo

I would assume GPU's are the best.

Wrong section, its a alt coin mined with CPU/GPU.   With GPU it's pretty much impossible to ROI at this point.

You can find info here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=583449.0  .  You will find a lot more info in altcoin forums.

It's indeed CryptoNight. As hardware you need CPU or GPU. with GPU you get good hash rates, but the power cost for GPU mining is almost bigger than the return.
For CPU, if you have newer generation CPU with AES-NI, that's the best way to mine XMR afaik.


As software, if you have indeed AES-NI, I recommend Wolf's version.
There is also Claymore miner, which includes a fee for Claymore and there are other miners too. The XMR topic has links to them.

I have no AES-NI and I use an older miner which seems to give best results for my CPU. It's a cpuminer-multi -1.0.3

I get on my CPU 60-70 H/s. I have an old i7 920.

Sorry, hit the wrong COIN!!!
