OK my fork'd miner isn't cutting the mustard.
So here's the one i'm going to recommend using for my pool.
https://github.com/Encel-US/cpuminer-multi
It's not mine, but it's working fine and getting slightly better hashrate than built-in miner.
I get 8000 hps with built-in miner, 8800 with Encel's cpuminer fork.

THe airdrop lured me here i am mining since a few month is there anyone who could compile the actual trunk of this miner for windows 64 bit to see how it performs? THe lastest compiled version does not include argon...

i have Good News & Bad News...
The Bad News: the Encel-US/cpuminer-multi is Not optimized for Parallel processing...
= it works ok up tp 8-cores or Threads,
from that point performance starts to drop...
at 32-cores is useless, 50% load on each core.
but there is a trick to make it work, when i finish editing my video will show, maybe, if i win the Air Drop. LOL. Jajajajaja
Software is 50% serial, 50% parallel, or is not true 64-Bit.
or maybe has a problem with:
Been mining this coin at 200kh for about 2 weeks and made 2000 coins. It's working great so far. Hope to be part of the airdrop as well. Cool project.
mining at <100K is becoming difficult/luck.
#4.
Is it possible to mine with ARM processors?
maybe with the v8 64-Bit,
maybe with Linux could be modified to work.
CPU miner needs SSE2 or SSSE3 or AVX instructions, because the Argon2 algorithm is more complex than Bitcoin SHA256d algorithm,
complex enough, that probably cannot not be done in GPU, FPGA or ASIC, faster than CPU.
That was one of the problems of Bitcoin, the SHA256d algorithm, was very easy to do in FPGA & ASIC, faster & cheaper than CPU.
even it can be done with a pencil LOL. Jajajajaja ... or Excell.

you can type/send manually the values done in paper, to the Bitcoin Debug Console, but is very slow. LOL. Jajajajaja
Thats one of the reasons why LiteCoin was invented, the 2nd e.coin in the world, called the Silver of Bitcoin, when there was No other coin. LOL. Jajajajaja
they decided to change the SHA256d algorithm to a Scrypt algorithm that requires more memory to be done, and is harder to implement with ASIC or FPGA, that have No memory,
but sooner or later was done in ASIC.
other e.Coins decided to do the same, and create New algorithms, some algorithms use 5GB or VRAM.
problem with using large RAM is:
A) the price of RAM, is increasing.
B) Overclocked & Over heated memory can have Errors.
C) most gaming PC´s do not have ECC Memory correction, only 2x expensive Server Hardware has.
but the Main Problem is Centralization:
if 1 company makes all the miners in the world, and only does miners,
miners only do 1 thing, mining, does not have another purpose/use.
if the price of the e.coin becomes too high or too popular... for the only company in the world making miners,
becomes More profitable Not sell miners.
probably will start to happen when Bitcoin block reaches 640.001 & reward is halved.
Today is 505.430
http://www.btc.com
and Centralization occurs.
e.Coins were developed/created/invented with the idea to avoid centralization.
that was one of the reasons why Bitcoin & the Blockchain was invented, and most other mineable e.Coins.
To Avoid Centralization.
Anything that promotes Centralization is Anti-Trust.
if 1 company owns the 51% of all the miners & Nodes in the world, they can cheat.
they can take all your money away, if you don´t obey. LOL. Jajajajajaja
