Hey you guys! ...
...I've been doing some mining with an 8 cores 2.6GHz Xeon and I'm getting really few coins. It's about 0.5 RIC per couple of days... is that normal or am I missing something big? Mining in ypool with the optimized miner found on the pool. ...
Hi how long you let it run...the whole couple of days? with an i7 930 at 3 ghz using 7 Threads i get up to 2.5 coins a day if i let him mine constantly. Modified Miner b15 version for W7 bb

how long you let it run...the whole couple of days? with an i7 930 at 3 ghz using 7 Threads i get up to 2.5 coins a day if i let him mine constantly. Q1WaR, yep, the whole couple of days! Even more to be sincere.... Maybe 1 whole week for 2 RIC?? I was on the spot doubting about the miner... I just made a couple of changes and I took it up to a more acceptable speed: - b14 is slightly faster then b15 on my pc. - I put 7 threads as you suggested. The share/h value jumped from 3.3 to 30.3!! Ten time faster?! Well, it's a welcome result... Moreover, I noticed that using all the cpu threads was choking the miner, so I left it running on only 7. I'll see how it goes and report! Thx for the help. BTW, any hint on why the GUI wallet is so slow in the sync? I think I've had that wallet open for 4 days with 8 peer connections and I'm still 8 weeks behind!

I would really like to see this POW succeed and ASICS or GPU miners made for it. Some interesting stuff (mathematically-wise) could come out of it.

Did you get it to sync? it will be slower than for example btc, because PoW verification is a little slower, but if you are using the latest client 0.9.1 it should sync much faster than previous versions: please make sure you have 0.9.1.

Ahh thats nice to hear! For me the modified b15 version from cphr out of the riecointalk forum is a little bit faster than the b14 version but runs also up to 3 degrees hotter on the cpu but who cares as long as temperature is not critical whats your sharerate on ypool with your xeon? mine is between 20 to 30 per hour different from day to day. bb

Nope... still 7 weeks behind! But this is only a GUI wallet issue... the daemon I have on my other pc is in sync (and took only one night on a slow connection). So, by now I have: GUI: v0.8.6.0-unk-beta (not in sync but slowly _SLOWLY_ catching up) riecoin-cli getinfo: "version" : 90100, (synced and the actual host for my wallet.dat containing the coins) The idea was to have a GUI which is easier to handle on a daily basis. Not that I dislike CLI but.... Do you have a link for the updated GUI?

Not that I dislike CLI but.... Do you have a link for the updated GUI? 0.8.6 is old. You should use the qt GUI version 0.9.1 as well, not only it is faster, it also has many new features like coin control. In Linux, you should find the riecoin-qt executable inside the tar.gz file here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/riecoin/files/riecoin%200.9.1/In windows, you can download the installer from here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/riecoin/files/riecoin%200.9.1/riecoin-0.9.1-win64-setup.zip/download and the setup utility will install the GUI, or you can download the zip bundle from here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/riecoin/files/riecoin%200.9.1/riecoin-0.9.1-win.zip/download and look for the riecoin-qt.exe inside the zip. You can use this one without running any installer.

gatra, thank you for the link. Which I then realized it has always been in the first post....
I finally realized why I was not able to use the GUI! It is because of the ZIP format.... at home I downloaded the ZIP, tried to run the riecoin-qt and failed. Then compiled ex-novo the cli and started using that.
Now that I'm not sleep deprived I realized that just a chmod +x would suffice... May I suggest you to upload tar.gz files for the linux version?
Thank you for all the help... I'll stick to this coin with my cpus!

Excellent! Thanks Gatra, Sorry I've been silent. Busy as heck right now. Incompetent people jumping to early conclusion...

Hi, I see difficulty drop to 1679 - seems like miners are leaving this coin ... I'm short of time unfortunately, but possibly with some help with math (montogmery reduction,rns) a GPU miner will see the light of the day soon. Any ideas or interest ? Thanks

Currently this is one of the few cryptos that is CPU-only (at least AFAICT), it could be advertised more maybe? I would love to see the diff reach new heights and break world-records!

I jumped on this coin because of the interesting algo and the CPU mining thing... so, I think it deserves more attention, yes. However, today's miners are: 1) ASIC fanatics (for profit) 2) GPU fanatics (geeks) I believe that cpu-coins should gather more attention because, in the end it would be nice to have millions of small CPUs mining around the word instead of the "farms". It is easier to spread shares over CPUs than GPUs because the average user (not the average miner!) is not into that kind of thing.
Meanwhile I spread the word (already got another guy mining) and let's hope for the best!

Thanks I think some sort of boost is definitely needed...I've been mining from launch and am a part of the Foundation but we've lost quite a bit of gusto just recently with people not able to dedicated as much time. Suggestions for advertising etc are welcome. I think we could look at doing an advertising campaign over at Reddit using some banners if we could agree to use a graphic designer to do so. Thoughts? Also Gatra I think you need to edit the title of this thread to include **CPU-ONLY**
