I have an i3-3220 processor which i am using for mining.
I know that you're supposed to use a GPU and all that. But currently i'm just trying it out before spending money.
I'm using CPUMiner, mining at middlecoin.com, 24 hours a day.
The problem is that i'm recieving very less hashrate.
This
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison points out that an i3 processor (which is actually a lower model than mine) recieves almost
8.5 MH/s and i receive about
5.5 KH/s on each thread that is about 27 KH/s in total.Why such a large difference?
What do i need to tweak? Is my program useless? Are the settings wrong? Is it problem with the pool?
