I used -gen command, but my CPU usage is like under 5-10% and temp pretty much same as idle.. I use Phenom 965BE
Note that you can increase the number of cores/threads:
I use yacoin-qt -gen -genproclimit=7 -addnode=82.211.30.212, where genproclimit is making it start using 7 of my 8 cores (actually 3.5 cores).
If you have a 2600k I7 and use the OP code (genrpoclimit=1) then it will mine only at 12.5%..
My genpoclimit is 4. And I have 4 cores.. Not sure why im not in mining mode :S
Start it like this:
- Go in your Yacoin folder
- Create a new text file (call it !start-yacoin.cmd or so, NOT !start-yacoin.cmd.txt).
- Edit it and enter: yacoin-qt -gen -genproclimit=7 -addnode=82.211.30.212
- Save, close and open it. It should start your client in mining mode, confirm in console or taskmanager.
Then, most importantly
- Donate any to YGHBQK4V8bq5e6ee8fJhjbc8m7NSBX6yPb as I am only getting Orphans
EDIT: the above is to use 7 cores/threads, change that number to anything you need/want for your CPU setup.
