weird that intel cpus are so much better than amd: I've got an intel dual core mining at 12 Khs and an amd dual core same frequency which makes barely 2 Khs. Maybe there is a trick to improve hashing on amd cpus?

Join us here for some tips and discussion on mining.... says the guy who's FX-8350 smoked a Haswell i7-4790.

just got my proof of mining coins ! thanks

Ditto!  Thank you so much!  The hounds thank you too, they'll be getting treats for a while.

Spexx provided estimation of the CPU performance by looking up a specific CPU in https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_list.php; then divide "Passmark CPU Mark figure" by 1000 and multiply by 3.6, which comes to a number in hash rate. 2 kh/s is a bit strange, are they running in same conditions, no other programs hanging around?...

Thank you so much joelao95!!!
I'm still not able yo build the minerd as when I am getting this error when I try to configure:
./configure: line 6102: syntax error near unexpected token `,'
./configure: line 6102: `LIBCURL_CHECK_CONFIG(, 7.15.2, ,'
I have seen it may be related to a libcurl4-openssl-dev library. But I cannot find the way to install this library on a mac computer.?
Any help on this will be much appreciated!

How do I do to mine this coin on a mac computer? Does somebody tried to compile the miner on unix os?

Here is a guide I quickly tried in my mac os 10.7:

1. Ensure Xcode and the command line tools are installed.

2. Download and Install MacPorts: http://www.macports.org/install.php

3. Install libraries
Open up app "Terminal"

Code:

sudo port selfupdate
sudo port install git openssl gmp

4. Compile minerd

Code:

git clone https://github.com/noncepool/m7magi-cpuminer-v2
cd m7magi-cpuminer-v2
./autogen.sh
./nomacro.pl
./configure CFLAGS="-O3" CXXFLAGS="-O3"
make

5. start minerd
For example, nonce-pool:

Code:

minerd -o stratum+tcp://mine2.magi.nonce-pool.com:4090 -u <username.worker> -p <password>

Suprnova pool:

Code:

minerd -o stratum+tcp://xmg.suprnova.cc:7128 -u <username.worker> -p <password>

<username.worker> and <password> should be set up in a pool.

thx, it's an AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 5600+, so according the calculation it should make 5.2 Khs. But since it's my everyday puter it's always multitasking. Now it's making more like 3.3 Khs (multiplying by 2 what I get in the autominer, since it's two threads), so I guess that's fine.

I guess you have installed macports. curl can be found from here (many others too through ports): https://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=name&substr=curl
Simply issue:

Code:

sudo port install curl

I forgot mentioning settings in order to use port libraries, basically adding the following lines into ~/.profile (relaunch Terminal once changed)

Code:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/local/lib
export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH

Let me know any further issues.

Another try is to use minerd for a specific type of CPU compiled by MarcusDe: http://graymines.net/miners/magi/v2/

This might be the one for your CPU (I am lack of exact knowledge on this, just my guess:): http://graymines.net/miners/magi/v2/cpuminer_win64_magi_byMarcusDe-athlonfx-1104.zip

TY once again joelao95!!!
I am using home-brew and it seem curl was already installed on the comp, showing up inside /usr/bin/
I am installing windows now in order to make this run if I can't find the way to bypass this library issue.

I will be trying homebrew sometime; as long as the libraries are installed (I thought homebrew installs packages into /usr/local) and are in the path, compiling minerd should be straightforward.

Optionally macports installs the complete port system in a location (typically /opt/local) separated from the Mac os, so it's pretty safe. Simply delete /opt/local will remove macports, just in case you want a try. It now comes with many binary packages, installation is pretty fast than before.

Nonce-Pool



Suprnova



Suchpool



Fellow miners, please spread the hashrate.

we could put some hashpower up for suchpool.. continue to tell more miners to increase our reward opportunities!!!

http://suchpool.pw/xmg they need some hash power

Magi is doing great here!
More than 100 votes in 1 day.
Magi passed iocoin fast.
Next goal is Namecoin.
FYI Magi has the most unpaid votes!
The three above Magi have a lot paid votes.
Keep voting guys!

Also will be good to spread some hash on Magi Mining Pool...

Also will be good to spread some hash on Magi Mining Pool...

Already switch my most powerful miners to your pool, so i'm mining on both such pool and magipool

[lama82]

Really incredible.
Just two months old and Magi (XMG) has already achieved so many good things.
If Magi goes through, it really is the new currency of the future!
Let's go for it!

NEW SOFTWARE RELEASE
Windows 64 bit minerd
I have cast a few magic spells over my compiler and now it gives me a generic minerd.exe that is 1.3 percent faster than the previous version. You lucky people

for me is very relevant updates 32 bit version - will be a new 32-bit version?

I have been playing around with trying to improve the 32 bit miner but have not yet managed to get anything faster than the current version. I have several versions that are slower! I am sure that there are ways to get some improvement in performance, but getting 32 bit compilers to play ball is another story and has been very frustrating. I am also currently working on other stuff, but will have another go at the 32 bit miner in due course.

I'm still not able yo build the minerd as when I am getting this error when I try to configure:
./configure: line 6102: syntax error near unexpected token `,'
./configure: line 6102: `LIBCURL_CHECK_CONFIG(, 7.15.2, ,'

I have seen this message scores of times during my compilation attempts under Windows using MSYS/Mingw compiler. Eventually I became convinced that it is a bug in the configure script generated by autogen when run under MSYS/Mingw. Bypassing the libcurl check routine in the configure script allowed the build to proceed to completion. I later discovered by accident that if I ran the autogen under the Cygwin compiler it created a configure script which worked perfectly with MSYS/Mingw (facepalm).

Installing curl into the compiler is fairly easy and did not give me any problems at all. Download the source code http://curl.haxx.se/download.html then build the configure script with ./buildconf. I found with Windows that I got better performance from the miner by installing curl as a static library thus:-

./configure --enable-static --disable-shared
make
make install

However I have no idea if this makes any difference under Mac, but would be interested to find out
