[XMR] Monero Mining

[serje]

20Gbps DDOS protection provided by Staminus.

WTF is that? Google cant have ddos protection and you are pretending to sell something that those not exists!

"20 Gbps DDOS protection" means that it has a filtered IP that can take an attack of up to 20 Gbps or around 10 million PPS (packets per second) before being null routed.

I'm not trying to sell anything. I'm just trying to support the network by providing a good pool because I believe in the potential of this coin (in which I have invested myself) and because I like playing with servers stuff. I have 15+ years of web development and 7 years of Linux experience, and I just thought I would give it a shot to running a pool just for the joy of it, while making my best effort to keep it running smoothly.

If you don't know what something means, then you should ask nicely before making such accusations.

Don't let moneropool.com have > 50%, support the network by supporting smaller pools!

Come and join us at mineXMR.com, with low fees of 1%, DDOS protection, mining supported on port 80, and the option of mining directly to an exchange. Any miners are welcome to join, irrespective of what size, and the payment threshold is 0.5xmr.

mineXMR.com has moneropool.com on their list of alternate pools

pointed one of my rigs at cryptonotepool.org.uk, only been mining for 2 days but it seems to work well.

Winter means free mining. Free mining means even my old computer can be of use.


Please join me in mining on http://cryptonotepool.org.uk/ (100% fees to devs) using the devs donation adress 46BeWrHpwXmHDpDEUmZBWZfoQpdc6HaERCNmx1pEYL2rAcuwufPN9rXHHtyUA4QVy66qeFQkn6sfK8a HYjA3jk3o1Bv16em


It would be really fun if we could get together could get some proper hashrates going over there. I only get 200H/sec mind you, but please join in and we all win!

we should use the donation address ?

Yes, if you want to donate. That's the donation address. Please double check on the official thread so you see I'm not fooling you.

If you CPU mining to the donation address please consider solo mining. This provides the maximum decentralization to the network and helps both the credibility and security of the coin.

To do this type "start_mining 46BeWrHpwXmHDpDEUmZBWZfoQpdc6HaERCNmx1pEYL2rAcuwufPN9rXHHtyUA4QVy66qeFQkn6sfK8a HYjA3jk3o1Bv16em threads" in your daemon window.  Replace threads with the number of threads you wish to use (usually somewhat less than your number of cores is best, but you can tune it and adjust to your needs.)

Although any one computer solo mining is unlikely to get a block on a particular day, with many people mining the donation address will get blocks regularly. It's just like a pool except that without the need to keep track of shares and payouts, the central pool server/database (and therefore a single point of failure) can be eliminated.

There is presently no way to solo mine with GPUs so this is only applicable to CPU mining. If you have a GPU rig you can CPU mine on it too though.

Do you plan to release a GPU solo miner?

[Jungian]

Do you plan to release a GPU solo miner?

There's one built in, in the deamon.

[OrientA]

There's one built in, in the deamon.

How does that compare to Claymore's GPU miner?

I'm sorry. I thought you wrote CPU miner!

[lyth0s]

What CPU could mine at or greater than 5 KH/s?

Is there a list anywhere?

[smooth]

I doubt there is a single CPU that can do that. Its more like roughly 50 H/sec per core, a bit more for high end.

To get 5 KH/sec you would need multiple CPUs.

[jwinterm]

What CPU could mine at or greater than 5 KH/s?

Is there a list anywhere?

No single cpu could mine at 5 kh/s or greater. I think if you have a badass i7 it will be around 200-300 h/s, while a 16-core cpu on AWS is around 1 kh/s.

So basically all current mining is not currently profitable?

Right now I have a mini version of i7 and I get 40 H/s which turns out to only 0.05 XMR per day aka $0.04 which cost me $0.29 to mine.

Any idea what the 16 cpu AWS virtual PC would cost per month?

I would like to mine monero at least "at cost", what setup would I need to do this?

I'm quite certain you won't be mining "at cost" on AWS. I think the most efficient way to mine monero atm is using nvidia 750 tis, where you can get ~220 h/s on 30-40 W.

[lyth0s]

I see. So is the Monero algo not very intensive on the graphics cards? When I used to run one on full load with scrypt algos they'd be chewing up a good 200-400W each card.

[smooth]

It really depends on your electricity rates. I recently calculated the break even at around 0.09 USD for a desktop CPU. Other CPUs or GPUs may be somewhat more efficient.

AWS published rates are not profitable, and usually not break even but occasionally close to break even if you know what you are doing.

Cloud computing promotions may be profitable at times.

Right now I have a mini version of i7 and I get 40 H/s

Not sure what i7 that is but most should be well above 40 H/s. Do you know the CPU model number?

Not off hand, but its a mobile (laptop) version of the i7 and is about 4 years old so I don't expect high numbers off it. I'll have to try my desktop i7 later on.

I would boot up my old scrypt miner with my 7870's, but at a rate of only 0.25 XMR per card per day I may as well just buy the monero rather than mine it. I would really be happy with something along the lines of 5-7 XMR per day, but it doesn't look like 1-2 mining rigs could achieve that.
