My hashrate is cut in half with the new simpleminer and a pool
I only get 100 kh/s at most with extremepool/poolberry + simpleminer
I get 200 kh/s solo mining the old way with boolbd
I have 4 cores, 8 threads
Tried fiddling with taskset, but I think simpleminer doesn't distinguish between multiple threads in a core.
help?
May be problem on pools, watching a single thread on my windows box, i see it spends most of its time waiting for work. The usage is 0% during those times.
Using poolberry and extremepool I do see way too much cpu fluctuation and idle time. However, using Extremehash, cpu usage is stable (i hope i'm using the right tools to analyze this)
Despite extremehash having stable cpu usage, the simpleminer hashrate is still less than half that of solomining with boolbd.
sidenote: I contacted who seemed to be a dev on extremehash, and he is getting the same feedback, and doesn't know what the exact problem is. It's the first day of pool mining, so there's going to be bugs. From others I've talked to we've come to the conclusion that ec2 mining is still profitable, and there's no reason for any of them to be using pools, especially when boolbd works just fine.
