Is it normal for my computer to run at 100% PCU like that?
That's the whole idea. Why would you want to be less than 100% efficient? How do I set up the bitcoin-miner to use say, 80%, or my cpu at most? or 50% for that matter?
You can set priority and affinity in task manager, also as YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE from your picture, the number of threads for the miner. Such that if you have a dual-core, you can set affinity to one core, or specify -t 1 |

On a related note about CPU utilization, I am just playing around with CPU mining and would like to set the CPU utilization at around 70-80%, is that possible from command line ? at 100% CPU runs too hot I assume on a dual-core 4 thread setup like mine I could just have it run on 2 threads, but that would be 50% utilization.. Just would like to get my miliBTC first before I start on GPUs  |

Greetings! I've got a newbie question I'm hoping someone can help me with. Specifically, I'm wondering about failover. That is, what's the syntax for my bitcoin-miner.exe command line string to so that if I loose connection to one pool it fails over to an alternate? I've seen mentions of it and I've looked at the link in the OP, but I'm unclear as to how that string should look. For instance, mining on a 12-core server with onboard GPU, if I want to start with Deepbit as my primary and use Slush as my alternate, what does that look like? Mining only to deepbit the string is bitcoin-miner.exe -a 5 -g no -o http://deepbit.net:8332 -u username -p password To add Slush as a alternate pool the string becomes ...? Thanks in advance for the help! |

Thanks in advance for the help! Sorry but the tools you use have no such features. You could go with "-a 3 -f 15" and run two miners at the same time. They will fight over for the resources while they both have work to do, but if one fails, the other will use up the full power. Now if you have multiple cores, use the -t option too. |

Symantec seems to think this is a security risk - why would that be? It doesn't seem to find it straight away, only after maybe 30 mins of mining. Bloodhound.SONAR.1 means that symantec doesn't know what it is but it is suspicious - http://securityresponse.symantec.com/security_response/writeup.jsp?docid=2006-070613-2739-99---------------------------------------------- Security Risk Found!Bloodhound.SONAR.1 in File: c:\windows\system32\bcm.exe by: TruScan scan. Action: Quarantine succeeded. Action Description: The file was quarantined successfully. ---------------------------------------------- |

Hi!
Wanted to test ufasofts miner and it works great.
Intel Core i7-2600k
running 4 threads
4way-cpuminer: ~ 6 Mhashs/s
ufasofts-miner: ~ 16 Mhashs/s
Thumbs up for that!
edit:
with 6 threads (17.7 Mhashs/s) it's faster than my GT430 (17 Mhashs/s) with puddinpops cuda-miner. CPU-utilization=75%

Quoting someone from IRC #bitcoin-dev: [23:58] <rgm3> Do any of you guys know forum user ufasoft?
[23:59] <rgm3> His miner requires libcurl > 7.12, but the ./configure script only checks for >7.10, but since I'm a forum n00b, I can't post to the right thread with the details.

Hello! I have a 24-core Xeon E7450 system I've been trying to get the Ufasoft Miner working on. The issue I'm running into is that I'm getting "Error 80190197". I've searched the forums and Google to no avail. Hoping someone could help out! Thanks in advance! > bitcoin-miner.exe -o POOL -u USER.WORKER -p PASSWORD -t 24 -g no

btw, do you have absolutely sure that your xeon is 24 cores?
O.o
try it without the -g and -t and it will work

i tried without those options and it still gave the same error. ... and yes, a quad CPU E7450 (hex-core) system == 24 physical cores.  bitcoin-miner.exe -o URL -u USER.WORKER -p PASSWORD

try another pool plz...
maybe the pool your're trying doesnt support cpu mining
and let me now how much Mhash

it's not the pool. i can run rpcminer-cpu without any issues on the same pool, and rpcminer-cpu also runs on all 24-cores without issue. i can get about 23 Mhash/sec using rpcminer-cpu, and i'd like to try Ufasoft miner as it should get even better numbers due to SSE2 support. |

i use this program, and it works great, minimalistic and simple to use
but im not sure if are optimized for cuda or openCL on a nvidia, i tryed to use other miners, but in windows server 2003 standard x64 edition is the only miners that work ( fresh format with no add-on or other program installed )
