Using 0.4 on i7-950 @ 3.83 GHz

8 threads: 18.9 MHash/s
CUDA GPU mining drops dramatically (118 MHash/s down to ~30 MHash/s)

6 threads: 18.1 MHash/s
CUDA GPU mining does not drop

Hyperthreading is cool enough, but loading up all 8 threads doesn't seem to work well for me.

EDIT: Added my 8 thread results to https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison
     While the wattage may seem a little low, I must have gotten pretty lucky with my CPU because I can hit 3.83 GHz with a core voltage of only 1.24V.  I've seen higher voltages on slower Nehalem CPUs.

how to make 0.4 Ufasoft only use the CPU?

type "-g no"

On my 5870 I am only getting 90 MH/s as opposed to 312 with poclbm.

EDIT: It seem that if you are CPU mining and you don't disable GPU mining it works much slower.

So I'm confused...I thought ufasoft didn't use the GPU in the first place...did I miss something? Huh

Thanks.

OpenCL GPU support was added in the latest revision.

So if I '-g no' I may actually get faster hash, as it won't call out to the nonexistent GPU (or a GPU with no openCL support)?

I think that it makes that determination before it even starts hashing and then doesn't ever try again (for that instantiation of the exe). So, it shouldn't make any difference at all. But, just in case, I put the "-g no" onto my command line anyways. I don't have an OpenCL GPU on the machine that is running this particular miner.

I'm having a bit of trouble getting this to work on my box.

Windows 7 x64
i7 980x (Hexcore)

bitcoin-miner.exe -a 4 -g no -t 6 -v -o http://mining.bitcoin.cz:8332 -u XXX -p XXX

It doesn't seem to start hashing at all?
When I hit ctrl-c to stop one time it gave me an "Error 80070006: The handle is invalid." instead of the regular operation has been canceled so maybe that has something to do with it?

did you check you're using the worker login and password rather than the site login/password?

Try putting a forward slash at the end of the URL (after :8332), and make sure your username is in the format LoginName.WorkerName, noting that everything for the username and password is case-specific.

It may have been a syntax error but since it didn't give me a response I figured it was just hanging.  I was able to get cpuminer going so i'm using that now which I have running 12 threads @ 1400 khash/sec

Well, since you're getting 16.8 Mhash/s for the whole package, I'd suggest giving this miner another go.  As far as the forward slash at the end of the URL, I haven't needed it.  Also, the rest of the command line looks OK.  Perhaps you somehow got a bugged download.  Try getting it again.  I'm getting 18.9 Mhash/s using 8 threads on an i7-950 @ 3.83 GHz using v0.4.  A 980X should easily beat that.  Take care, however.  If you mine with a GPU at the same time as your CPU, you may or may not have to go from 12 threads down by the number of GPUs you have mining.  At least, that's how I had to set it up.  Actually, just try 12 first, then see if 6 is any appreciable amount less, and if not, just go with 6.  That way, everything in the OS should remain really snappy.

An OCed i7 980X gets 25~30. Stock should get 22~23 ish

oh and my previous problems with this and poclbm just disappeared for some reason

Ahh thanks for encouraging me to try again.  I'm getting 25.6 MHash/s now from my CPU and my GPU stayed at 85 Mhash/s.

I've been getting the same hashing speed either way.

Bitpenny probably have the easiest interface to configure for, so it's hard to understand what you might be doing wrong. What parameters are you trying to use now?

bitcoin-miner.exe -o http://bitpenny.dyndns.biz:8332/ -u 1B8M8C48PBGdKtsGSVnCAPMgnxFTVxGXUB -p xyzzy

i have played around with it a bit but invariably it just hangs, displaying 0 MHash/s.  i can use deepbit without an issue though.

WinInet firstly makes request without Login/Password. But this pool incorrectly returns "OK" HTTP code in Response Headers.

I can not get this miner to run for me. It just opens and closes.

For user it's -u and password -p correct?

What else do I need?

Performance: 2.3 MHash/s per core on 2.3 GHz CPU [1000 CPU cycles per hash]

Has anyone actually achieved 2.3 MHash/s per core? It seems like the OS would steal cycles. I'm running a 2.5 GHz dual-core CPU and I'm getting a maximum of 950 KHash/s, even when I raise the process priority.
