So I started mining again and this time I was in front of the computer. It seems if you run it at a higher number of threads it will crash. If I run it at setgenerate true 14 it'll work for a little while but setgenerate true 10 seems to work but won't push my cpu to 100%. Anyone having any success pushing the miner? Was thinking of spinning up a VPS but don't want to waste cash on something that isn't mining properly.
I'm running the miner on three rigs currently. Two of those get unstable if I go above 2 threads/core, the third is stable up to 3 threads/core. All three rigs seem to fluctuate between 80-100% CPU usage. Without a command for checking your own hash rate, it's hard to say if increasing the thread count above this would be beneficial or detrimental, in any case.
Definitely still room for improvement in the miner. For now I'd just experiment and figure out the optimal thread count for your system, since it seems to vary.
Mined another block last night, so the updated miner does seem to be working properly in that regard.
