Need help, no miner works for me

[awigaxeh-443]

I can't get any miner to work on my basic desktop, what are my options?

[awigaxeh-443]

Intel Quad Core Q8200 2.33Ghz
4 GB ram
No GPU
64 bit operating system

Tried Diablo, CG, BTCM, etc..

Most miners just crash or ask for opencl.dll

[Gabi]

No GPU

Excuse me but with what do you want to mine?

Miners run on GPU, no GPU=you can't mine

Of course they say no OpenCL.dll, you have no GPU



Sure, you "can" mine with your CPU but it is just wasting power and time

[awigaxeh-443]

lmao, you just said one thing then the other

obviously with cpu

[Gabi]

Mining with CPU is, as i said, just wasting time and power.

You can try mining Litecoins with CPU and trade them for bitcoins, it's a much better way to use your CPU.

[awigaxeh-443]

alright, please do tell what litecoin cpu miner should I use?

[NothinG]

I'm using this on one of my dedicated servers with a single xeon proc (8x thread) and I'm pulling 13Mhash/s.

Just download the 64bit version and run it. And if you want use Pool-x as a pool.

@nothing: that is a bitcoin miner. And, indeed, 13Mhash/s using 8 core is wasting power...

[neo_rage]

Really, no AMD GPU=no gain.

[Gabi]

Abort abort!

There is a GPU client on Litecoin now too, CPU mining on it is pretty much pointless now

btcm doesn't work for me

Under no circumstances should you be using a bitcoin miner on a litecoin pool, unless it can run the scrypt algorithm

Impressive hash rate, 0 litecoins or bitcoins.

Use pooler's Litecoin miner, and point it at one of the litecoin pools listed in the alternative cryptocurrencies topic.

Yes, there exists such a client. But because of opportunity cost, it hasn't caught on.

Right now, comparing the LTC difficulty to the BTC difficulty, and the hashrates a particular GPU can give you on each, there's no point in using your GPU on Litecoin; you'd be getting an order of magnitude more money from mining BTC.

So GPUs are not as of yet a threat to CPU mining on Litecoin, nor will they be until Litecoin becomes much more valuable or the Bitcoin difficulty increases dramatically.

ufasoft's miner does scrypt

[awigaxeh-443]

Litecoin client is great, too bad LTC is undervalued

useful - I knew one or two miners did but couldn't remember which ones.

However I didn''t think you could get 10+ Mhash/s out of a CPU at the moment (though I may not be following closely enough as I don't have a powerful/multi-cored enough CPU.)

How does it compare against pooler's miner?

Really, no AMD GPU=no gain.

You're wrong while GTX680 with 1536 SP is coming out

[neo_rage]

Let's talk while it's come out.

It will come out, but on the same time the prices will make it unprofitable as compared to AMD GPU's.
I could get one of those AMD 24-core server cpu's to mine for around 100MH's (estimated), but the electric costs and the processor cost would be exorbitant. (around $4600 each)
