Are you login with root??He shouldn't have to, using sudo should be enough.

Yam is better for CPU mining if you run it as root in linux or administrator in windows.. Since now it gives you 20% more hashing power.
does this also work running the command with sudo?
It should. Sudo is almost equivalent to being root. I think the only difference is some variables that carry over from the user account, but I doubt that would prevent Yam from running at full power.

Unlike many coins, we spend a lot of time on writing high-quality and easy to follow tech tutorials to simplify explaining things most coins don't bother explaining....
Q1: Why do you use the proprietary YAM miner in your tut? According to Atithasos it takes 2.5% of the proceeds. Atithasos says the lucas jones (wolf miner) can also be used, but it's a GPU miner not a CPU miner. .....
Good point. Thank you.
On our mining tut:
https://bipcoin.org/?p=1162
It did already say "We’re only going to cover one miner, YAM. But YAM is easy to use, and efficient. I’m only going to show the basics of YAM. But once you’ve run it, tweaking it for optimization, or running any other miners will be easy."
It now says:
"We're only going to cover one miner, YAM. But YAM is easy to use for beginners, and efficient. I'm only going to show the basics of YAM. But once you've run it, tweaking it for optimization, or running any other miners will be easy."
"YAM does use 2.5% of your mining power for the creator of the program to mine XMR. But also, that's more than made up for using out "Run As Administrator" step, which gives you 10% - 50% more hashing power. For more info and if you have a good GPU rig, read this and follow the link there: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.17238744 "

Perhaps for Windoze noobs, but there are gaps in the steps for linux users on how to mine, like how to select the correct YAM file to download off mega-dl site for the CPU being used to mine with.
Q1: Why do you use the proprietary YAM miner in your tut? According to Atithasos it takes 2.5% of the proceeds. Atithasos says the lucas jones (wolf miner) can also be used, but it's a GPU miner not a CPU miner. I'll check into it. It requires compilation but that should be no problem. I do understand why you don't get into detailed instructions for linux users, most of whom probably already know how to mine, compile and use cmd line tools. A few words might be nice for those that are new to it tho.
Q2: Can old machines be used to pool mine bipcoin? I am going to try to use an old 2Ghz system with 3GB RAM running a single core AMD 64 bit CPU. It's pretty snappy with Ubuntu 14.04 but that CPU is quite old. Tho mobo in that system has an integrated GPU, so if the wolf miner will work on that system it might produce a better hash rate than a CPU miner would.

Yam takes 2.5% of the share hashing power to mine the coin that you choose /xmr at the end of your address. This means nothing for me due to the power that you have. is the most efficient CPU miner since now.
There is also the cgminer right now but i have not tested. cgminer is CPU and GPU miner.
More info about cgminer you can find here

GPU mining is not for integrated video cards.

Don't bother. To say the result will be disappointing is an understatement. Even core 2 chips are not worth it, as is the case too with anything older than sandy bridge.
Also, cryptonight GPU mining is not that much more efficient than cpu, even for dedicated cards, which is why such coins are a favorite among cpu miners. I doubt that integrated gpu will even work for mining.
Thanks for the info. From my research Sandy Bridge came out in 2007, so that is 10 years old now. My source is wikipedia, so it could be inaccurate / wrong.
I had my doubts about mining with this old system. It might be good to put a few words on the bipcoin mining page stating mining isn't practical on systems older than X years. Sandy Bridge being 10 years old is a rather big age limit, but you'd be surprised how many people squeeze out every last drop of use from old systems.
Actually, sandy bridge was released in 2011. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandy_Bridge
And even in the page you link I could not find a 2007 reference to it.

So far I've been paid 5.1 Bip and have 3.45 Bip waiting....
Mining is fun and I'd say keep doing it to learn but that's such a low return rate, you might want to also buy some BipCoin on Cryptopia. Two tutorials for that listed her:

I don't let my computer run when I'm not around; I'm paranoid about the possibility of it overheating, but so far it doesn't seem to be a problem.
Put a fan on it that gets air flow above and below. The laptop will be cold to the touch.
Put old DVD cases or something on each side to prop the laptop up so air gets under.

Hi MWD and all and others,
Just started mining BipCoin this past weekend. I'm on a dual core laptop so have 1 thread going. I followed all the instructions on BipCoin site and am using the recommended BipCoin pool. I'm getting between 38 and 40 H/s. The website has me at 35 H/s. All of which is right in line with what the site said would happen. So far I've been paid 5.1 Bip and have 3.45 Bip waiting to be sent over from the coin pool. Michael, your website made it very easy to follow and get started.
I don't let my computer run when I'm not around; I'm paranoid about the possibility of it overheating, but so far it doesn't seem to be a problem.
I'm new to the whole thing and don't really understand what is happening. For example, what is a share? And, what are we doing when we are "mining" if we are not validating transactions?
I've been a long time listener to FTL and recently got into Freedom Feens on LRN.FM
Nice to meet you guys,
TF

Hey!
It's a little too much for me to start from scratch here and explain mining. At the most basic level, it is using your computer to solve complex problems before other computers solve those problems. And there isn't really a layman's noob guide that I know of for that for CryptoNote (we're a CryptoNote coin, different than Bitcoin in some ways, but similar in others).
But read this one on Bitcoin, it's enough the same that it will make sense:
https://www.bitcoinmining.com/
Info on "shares":
https://www.lifewire.com/what-is-accepted-share-in-coin-mining-2483063
Then read this first page on what makes CryptoNote coins different:
https://cryptonote.org/
That's a start.
Anyone else got anything more CryptoNote specific?
Thanks!
