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. The laptop I have this miner running on is a 2.2Ghz Core2 Duo running Windows XP. I am getting ~5 MHash/sec total (when I'm not doing very much else) with the miner process set to Below Average priority in the task manager. If I am busy doing quite a bit of other stuff, the variance of it's rate goes through the roof, but it averages more around ~3.5 MHash/sec total.

I still can not get this miner working on Windows 7 x86 , anyone want to help me out, i can clock my Core2Quad up to 3.4Ghz and I think would get some really nice results. On all other CPU miners I only get 6 mhash/s...

Just type "btc-miner --help" and you'll get all the options you need to set up.

Can someone help me installing this? I'm pretty new, and I'm not quite sure I know what I'm doing.
So far, I get the windows installer from the site listed, and it opens my cmd, very quickly, then exits. Quick flash. Then I get the files listed, and throw them in a folder in my C:\Bitcoin folder, with the bitcoin.conf file. But the files I get have weird endings, like bitcoin-client.cpp, or bitcoin-client.h, or sha256-sse.asm.
I don't know what they are, and they open in note pad with a script.
So I go to cmd, change directories to C:\bitcoin\windows bitcoin-client.cpp --host=bitpenny.dyndns.biz --port=8332 --username=user info --password= pass info
But all it does is either open the notepad version of the file, the one with the script in it, or.... it will just say it cannot find that file.
So what do I do to fix this? Neither of my computers have OpenCL on their graphics card, but I thought this was a CPU miner?

bincoin-miner.exe is not installer, it is program itself. Just run cmd.exe, change dir to where you have downloaded the program and run: bincoin-miner.exe -o url -u user -p password

For your batch file, you should probably have something similar to this: For solo: bitcoin-miner -t 4 -v -o http://127.0.0.1:8332 -u username -p password
For pool: bitcoin-miner -t 4 -v -o http://mining.url.something:8332 -u user.worker -p password The -t 4 specifies the number of threads to run. If your CPU has 4 threads of execution on it, you can omit this and get the same result. If your batch file is in the same directory as bitcoin-miner.exe, you can leave out the directory in front of the command. Otherwise, you'll need to put the full path in.

Thanks, got solo working, but still not the pool one. Tripled my hash speed compared to other cpu miners. Went from 6 to 18 mhash/s (Q9550 oced from 2.8 to 3.4ghz). I get around 12-13mash on stock 2.8ghz

When all else fails, put double(single on *n*x) quotes around your argument values.

If you run a Unix-like system (Linux, BSD, OSX etc) put single quotes around the argument values (e.g. -o ' http://mining.bitcoin.cz:8332').

Mining solo works just fine with these arguements with no quotes Fixedstart bitcoin-miner -t 4 -v -g no -u xxx -p xxx -o http://127.0.0.1:8332
Edit: I've tried no quotes (works best), single and double quotes , changing the orders , I feel like it has something to do with the askrate (default is 15), i have tried to change it to 5,10,30 and still get 0 mhash/s Anything have an idea? I am on slushs pool BTW

start bitcoin-miner -t 4 -v -g no -u xxx-p xxx -o http://127.0.0.1:8332
Is the lack of a space between the username xxx and the -p just a typo? If not, you'll need a space there. Also, if you're running the miner from the command line or a batch file already, the use of the start command is extra.

And make sure that you are using the username of:
user.worker
not just user and not just worker.
