can me help the best config for intelcore i5-2500 @3,3ghz x64 AES-NI CPU L2/L3 1mb/6mb my config is
"algo": "cryptonight-webchain",
"av": 0, // algorithm variation, 0 auto select
"background": false, // true to run the miner in the background
"colors": true, // false to disable colored output
"cpu-affinity": null, // set process affinity to CPU core(s), mask "0x3" for cores 0 and 1
"cpu-priority": null, // set process priority (0 idle, 2 normal to 5 highest)
"donate-level": 5, // donate level, mininum 1%
"log-file": null, // log all output to a file, example: "c:/some/path/webchain-miner.log"
"max-cpu-usage": 75, // maximum CPU usage for automatic mode, usually limiting factor is CPU cache not this option.
"print-time": 60, // print hashrate report every N seconds
"retries": 5, // number of times to retry before switch to backup server
"retry-pause": 5, // time to pause between retries
"safe": false, // true to safe adjust threads and av settings for current CPU
"syslog": false, // use system log for output messages
"threads": 2, // number of miner threads
"pools": [
{
"url": "pool2.webchain.network:2222", // URL of mining server
"user": "0xb3c19b81ee487c517f5de79aa91540db", // username for mining server
"pass": "x", // password for mining server
"worker-id": "0", // worker ID for mining server
"keepalive": false, // send keepalived for prevent timeout (need pool support)
"nicehash": false
Hello! That model has four cores, common recommendations say you could set the number of threads twice the number of cores. (it would be 8 in your case). Keep in mind that "max-cpu-usage" value limits the percent of cores you're using. In summary,
1) if your 4-core device is using 75% of the cores, it means you're using 3, the recommended value of threads would be 6.
2) If your device is to be devoted to mining (only mining) you might want to adjust the "cpu-priority" value until you find it possible.
3) Evaluate how your hashrate is affected by making some changes.
Good luck!
