CPU mining

[Praxis]

I have a few Xeon PCs and I tried mining Memorycoin, Datacoin and Primecoin. Right now I'm getting the most from mining Primecoin.
Anything else I should try? Is Primecoin the best option?
I run jhprimeminer with the default parameters and without AVX
Any tip how to optimize this process would be greatly appreciated

Thanks.

Which Version of Miner do you use? Got Problems With One of the older ones @primeminer

[Praxis]

I'm running many Xeon PCs but getting only a ~2 Primecoins a day. Not sure if that's normal.

Good question praxis, I want to know the same thing.  Seems protoshares was the most profitable up until recently.

If I might ask, how much are you earning in dollars from mining primecoin?  I'm considering it...

About $20 daily but it's running on a lot of PCs (everything legit no botnets)

Hey, maybe you would give me an advice
I have a server that has some free power, I mean: besides the things it normally does, it can put some power in hashing. Some time ago I was testing and it was about 30kH/s. What cpu-currency would you advice?

I'm currently mining Particle. It's quite new, so there's no exchange rate you can use to calculate profitability. On the other hand it might turn out profitable to mine early and hold on to the coins for a while, that's what I'm trying my luck on!

Protoshares!

[tadakaluri]

Bernankoin (BEK) is best one.  Which have very low diff and easily get/mine large number of coins at present.

Protoshares!

Is it better than Memorycoin? Cause I'm not getting good results with MMC

+1.

If you haven't got a lot of mining power, you may profit more from speculation and investing in coins than trying to always jump ship.

What kind of hashrate are you seeing with MCC? Do you have AES-NI on your CPUs?

[nurminen1]

Dimecoin is best I think.

PRT-client for Win works fine on Wine emulator @ubuntu, wow!

Do I need to have another minerd? Newer than 2.3.2? My 2.3.2 does not recognise the parameter -a quark and returns error

Is it still worth mining Frozen? Or is it better to concentrate on Particle now?

Most machines give me 0,1h/m , some 0.2h/m and only the Xeon X series give 2h/m or more (highest 5h/m)

Not sure about AES-NI. I'll try to find that out. Do I have to run the miner with special parameters if I want to take advantage of AES-NI?

In any case, I tested Primecoin/Datacoin VS Memorycoin and at least according to my calculation, XPM/DTC pay better.

Different machines will probably give you different rates of return for different coins. The 2h/m minute machines sound like they are AESNI enabled, so you might find those are more profitable to put on MCC, with the others on XPM. 5h/m =~ $5/day on MCC atm.

Sometimes a machine has AES-NI capability but is disable in the BIOS. Other than that, the software should pick it up automatically.

I recommend Datacoin, I think it's very undervalued right now.  I am getting ~4DTC per day mining on a modest older Xeon server.
