Worms,
Last block was 5753. I've got a few today so far, things seem to be speeding up. I've probably got 4 locked right now.
Right now I'm trying to figure out how the whole hashing rate works out. I was running 7 out of 8 cores for awhile and seeing 150 and I just changed it to 4 to cool down a bit and I'm seeing 165. is there a sweet spot somewhere in the number of cores running or is a based on the individual computer?
I'll be hitting you up for some stickers soon. I need to figure out how to transfer next.
Some processors throttle themselves when they reach a certain temperature for safety. Could be you actually get better performance with fewer threads because you are not running hot enough to throttle.
Make sure you put a fan on the computers while mining so they don't burn out. With laptops, prop them up with blocks so air gets under and over. With desktops I put an extra fan inside. Pix of both about 3/4 way down this page:
https://bipcoin.org/?page_id=93Did you specify a number when you started mining?
start_mining 2
for instance. If you don't specify, it puts in 1. The number should be one less than the number of cores your processor has. More is better. If you have a quad core and type 3, it will mine faster than if you have two cores and type 1.
If you didn't specify a number and you have a quad core or 8 cores, type
stop_mining
then start mining again, specifying a number.
If the number is too high, you'll get a error message in red, and can go down 1 number at a time until it works.
