1) Is there a way to output your hashrate with roiminer.exe?
2) I want to use 7 threads (So I can still do basic stuff on my pc) but if I set -t any higher than 4 it crashes, and the only alternative I can find so far is to take out -t all together so it uses all 8 threads. Does anyone else have this issue?
Hope someone can point me in the right direction
For benchmarking
Let it run for say 5 minutes. Then use a calculator or excel-like software to calculate average Khash/s. Hoping that helped
And unless you understand the difference between cluster and pool mining. And for some reason believe that clusterring is your thing. I would personally suggest that you use the pool.
The pool will give you results that are consistent with your hashrate and the network difficulty at your time of mining. Good pooling or maybe good luck
EDIT: Beware though that the pool will not show your results, or grant you any returns, before roughly 18 hours into mining.
I just have an i7 4790k. I might pool mine, havent looked at it here but I pool mine Verium and it put me off (mining fees and withdrawal fees) plus I saw a few people earlier in this thread saying they were getting much better returns cluster mining than they were in the pool. I've been cluster mining for 18 hours+ at the moment though and havent seen any returns; I'll give it another 12 hours or so and if I dont have anything I'll switch to pool mining.
Thanks for pointing me in the direction of the benchmark option, I'll run that once I stop cluster mining, but I'm scared to stop it in case I miss something
I too have an i7 4790k. I mined on a pool for a month and now I have been doing cluster mining for couple of days and I hit atleast 1 or 2 blocks per day.
