[FCN][MRO][QCN][BCN] GUI miner

[fr0wn3r]

@ amphibian

Hi there.
I want to try to solo mine FCN with BCN/QCN.

FCN+BCN I managed to start hashing, but hash is rather low for old Intel E5200 (2 cores, no HT) 2,6 H/s... I didn't run a daemon at background. After it, I tried to star FCN+QCN and got the message "no donor block..." again no any daemon in background. Returne to the first case which I managed to start hashing but this time, the same message...

After it I tried QCN and none with quazarcoind running in background and hashing started. Then I tried FCN+QCN and both corresponding daemons running in the background and it started.
Didn't want to start FCN+BCN cause as we all know BCN is memory killer...

So, what's the proper way?
Could you tell me do I need to place SoloMiner in specific diretctory like in donor's or acceptor's?
Do I need to run daemons of any in the background?

From what I've read here, I guess the answers are no on both questions, right?

Hey!

For QCN (and MRO) you pretty much have to start a deamon, since it doesn't have a remote node that you can connect to.

You can safely start FCN+BCN hashing with a remote node tho. There is no need for BCN daemon that eats up all the memory.

Also, you don't have to put SoloMiner in any specific place.

Let me know if you have any more questions.

Cheers.

let's hope MRO and QCN developers will provide you a remote node - that would solve a "memory" problem. (currently it's present only in bcn but who know what future holds)

You should add instructions for the linux version from the site to the main post. It's not that trivial. Like, at all.

Valid point. Fixed it - thank you.

Nice! Getting the same (+/- 5h/s) hashrate on my i7. I suppose there is not much difference between i3-7

Hi, sorry for the noob question but... how can one use this miner to mine monero? there is no ip's one can connect to...

Hey!

All you have to do is
start monero daemon -> wait until it's synced -> create a wallet -> open solominer -> enter your MRO & FCN addresses and hit start!

Now when I wrote all this it doesn't look "all_you_have_to_do"ish

Cheers.

I'm getting only 4-5 h/s merge mining QCN/FCN with solominer, whereas I get around 44 using minerc. Any ideas why? I'm using win 8.1 x64 on an A10-5700 CPU. Thanks!

Are you using latest versions of QCN daemon and SoloMiner?

Also, are you using a local FCN daemon or connecting to the remote node?

Thanks for your quick reply! I just re-downloaded the QCN deamon and SoloMiner to be sure, I'm still getting the same results. I tried both local FCN deamon and the 2 remote options.

I know it's a silly question but still... maybe you're mining on 1 thread ?

Hah worth a shot! But no, I checked that. One thread gives me about 1.5 h/s
