[PROFITABLE CPU MINING] Mine from home / work! Tutorial

[FiatKiller]

According to the above the mem# is total for all threads. I did try 2 and same thing...

There are no errorcodes. Crashes immediately. I even tried to > log.txt and it was empty.

Did you try m=1024?  That parameter is per-thread, believe me, I have used it.

Yes.

Yes.

What does it say under "view problem details"?

Did you try m=1024?  That parameter is per-thread, believe me, I have used it. Whoops, it's total mem.

Also, make sure it is a multiple of 1024 . . . 2048 or 3072 or 4096 etc.

Sorry, can't think of anything here.
What OS is that?
32/64 bits?
How much ram do you have?
What CPU do you have?

Cant figure out what I'm doing wrong.

I have an i5 4670k with 16GB ram.

running yam -c yam-mmc.cfg from the prompt gives me the error 'yam' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

thanks

run it from a batchfile that is in the same directory with the yam.exe and the cfg file

[BTL]

perfect thanks.

out of curiosity, what might I do to optimize my config?

i5 4670 16GB ram

current config file:

threads = 0
mining-params = mmc:av=0&aesni=on&m=1024

[FiatKiller]

Ok, I just happened to get a used XEON delivered yesterday with Nehalem.
I did get the program to run with no aesni:

threads = 1
mining-params = mmc:av=0&aesni=off&m=1024
mine = getwork://MEUKuddxchGRtPxJyTTd2dLcCrKTmCh5FW@work.mmcpool.com:80:8880:8881:8882:8883/mmc
mine = getwork://MEUKuddxchGRtPxJyTTd2dLcCrKTmCh5FW@mmcpool.1gh.com:8080:8081:8082:8083/mmc
mine = getwork://yvg1900.mmc_1:x@mmc.gpools.com:8080/mmc
#proxy = socks4a://127.0.0.1:9150
compact-stats = 0
print-timestamps = 1

-----------------
But why am I generating no shares?

Mid power ( 4 cores instead of 8 ) which allows you to work on the PC without even feeling a miner is on, will give you half of that.

You will not lose income and the PC stays responsive if you use 7 cores and start yam in idle priority.

start /low /affinity 7f "yam -c yam-mmc.cfg"

You can also go into the processes tab on task manager and rightclick to set the priority and
numbers of cores for yam.exe

[iwantcoins]

I have been looking everywhere for which CPU coin is the MOST PROFITABLE to mine finally,
 I figure i would just test 5-6 myself and post the results.

Let me know if you have something that is Generating you more USD per day i will be happy to update my list!

Can someone please post a good step by step guide for cloud mining in a pool like http://mmc.gpools.com ?

(an example of a good guide: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=450539.0)

Thank you!

 Got a 3770k + 8gb ram, using ivy miner 64bit,
   threads = 7
mining-params = mmc:av=1&aesni=on&m=4096
mine = getwork://MUZJjMAkEvop6Daksd9GjjbnkFp5nH2Z1p@work.mmcpool.com:80:8880:8881:8882:8883/mmc
mine = getwork://MUZJjMAkEvop6Daksd9GjjbnkFp5nH2Z1p@mmcpool.1gh.com:8080:8081:8082:8083/mmc
#proxy = socks4a://127.0.0.1:9150
compact-stats = 1
print-timestamps = 0


 Copied the mmc.cfg to win64-ivy-bridge folder
 created a bat file with contents of mmc.cfg
 When I try to run it just flashes by.

 I'm running the miner with the wallet now and setting priority and affinity from task manager, I also have 2 gpu miners going and when running the wallet miner it lowers wu's.
 If I could get the other one going might get better performance, right now SPM 7.24 HPM 6.587

[itsik78]

 created a bat file with contents of mmc.cfg

The batch file content should be:
yam -c <yam config file>
For example:
yam -c yam-mmc.cfg

(and not the contents of your mmc.cfg file)

Other params look good.

As for GPU mining on the same machine. GPU mining needs the memory as well... So the more memory you give the CPU miner the more degrading you'll see for the GPU mining.
Try playing with it going from the minimum m=1024 and upwards.

 Yep that did it, have it set at threads = 4, m=1024 and it hasn't affected the gpu mining, the load on cpu is about 55-60%  SPM 8.14 HPM 6.6

Great

Im getting around 11HPM using the following config:

Threads= 0
mining-params = mmc:av=0&aesni=on&m=1024

I have a 4670k not currently overclocked, and 16GB ram.

Is there any room to improve on that configuration?

thanks

more threads & more mem like 2 and 2048, etc.

This CPU has 4 threads, so you can increase memory usage to 4096 (m=4096 instead of m=1024).
This will increase the HPM a bit.
Other than that, now that you've ran fine tuning (av=0) take a look at the printouts and see what av was chosen (gives the best HPM) and change the av=0 to this av (to avoid rerunning the fine tuning again).
