Finally, if you think the coins will never be worth the electricity paid for them, you have a pretty pessimistic outlook, why bother at all if the damn things will never be worth that much?

Why pay $10 electric for 1 BTC when you can buy them for $9 on MtGox?

Going this way network will be down in matter of days - no miners, everyone want to buy, but noone to close blocks.

No, because other miners can still get 1 BTC for $8 of electricity or less Wink

Ok have two card running
5770 with;
cgminer.exe -o http://localhost:9332 -u username -p password --intensity 13 --scrypt --shaders 800 --gpu-platform 1 --thread-concurrency 4000 --worksize 256

it averages 155kh/s

6970 with;
cgminer.exe -o http://localhost:9332 -u username -p password --intensity 13 --scrypt --shaders 1536 --gpu-threads 4 --gpu-platform 1 --temp-target 66 --thread-concurrency 8000

and it averages 306kh/s

Any thoughts or tips to eeek a little more out?

Electricity might be an expensive currency to use to purchase coins with, but it is locally exchange-able without trusting anonymous or pseudonymous strangers on the net, by dealing with a big brother who already does know who you are and where you live but maybe need not know in addition that you engage in cryptocoin use.

Also, which exchanges sell pristine virgin coins, and at how much more cost than used coins?

Finally, if you think the coins will never be worth the electricity paid for them, you have a pretty pessimistic outlook, why bother at all if the damn things will never be worth that much?

-MarkM-

Is this the 2nd time you've said this to me or was it someone else last time?

If you think mining LTC or BTC on CPU is worthwhile due to the price it will be in the future, then show a bit of intelligence and ... buy a GPU for less than $100 and mine between 10x and 20x as many coins WHICH WILL ALSO BE WORTH 10x OR 20x as much in the future ...

Your argument makes me wonder if you are stealing electricity ...

People distributing CPU miners should be shot - they are used mostly by botnets

Every so often someone comes into the #cgminer IRC channel and asks about help with CPU mining.
They always fall into one of the following categories:
1) Want to run a botnet
2) Want to use other peoples computers to pay for electricity
3) Want to use work computers to pay for electricity
They always make up some story about it but in the end they are one of the 3 above
i.e. I say no support - bye bye

CPU mining is a loss - on BTC and LTC
It will cost you more in electricity to CPU mine than you will get back.

Don't do it.

Yep, you got me. My 10000 botnet gov machines just waitin for software update. 25kh*10000? ;]

Can you please complie it w/enabled CPU mining?

Please do not ...

Uh? Why? I`m using 2 miners now, I found cgminer better than diablo on this 5450

--shaders 80 --verctors 4 --worksize 64 --intesity 9 gives me almost 15kH and it is not laggy at all

I just want add 3 CPU threads to it.

I've tried to set up cgminer for ltc but i can't get it to work can you please help me? I don't know what i'm doing wrong Sad

I have a laptop Asus M50VM, Duo P8600 @ 2.4 GHz, 4 GB Ram and nvidia GeForce 9600M GS 1GB - Windows Vista 32 bits

using this command: cgminer --scrypt --lookup-gap 2 --thread-concurrency 6144 -g 4 -I 13
then: url = litecoinpool.org:9332
user:
password
here i'm using my worker user and pass.
After a few minutes i got this error: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/39/cgminererror.jpg/

and this one (the same i got when trying to get reaper to work):
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/33/reaper2c.jpg/

i've updated my graphic drivers to the latest version (296.10)
Can i have your help to set it up and if its not asking too much, what the optimization code i can use for my gpu.
Thanks

I may code a python script sometime at the end of next week that calculates profitability with both litecoin and bitcoin and then hops between mining them based on that... is anyone interested in that?

LOL AWESOME
Was just contemplating that:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/cgminer-is-nearly-the-guaranteed-end-of-the-51-vulnerability-95987

Coinotron pool have this feature.
Add worker & select Auto instead of BTC or LTC

Hopping between them would require a complete restart of cgminer at the moment.

As said before: You need to find the setting for your card means "ALL OF IT" the combination is the key, also the ratio of engine to ram clocks is important. For example I get no more than 230 KH/s if I underclock ram but above 400 KH/s with standard clocks (my card is already OCed makes me wonder what happens when I go to reference clocks).
