Hi,
Whats the best way to run CPU mining on 30+ P.C (WIN7 i3 2GB RAM) which have no end users and just display terminals using only a small percentage of their current CPU.
I understand it wont be a big earner but if i got a couple of low priced alt-coins from each machine a day then i would be happy.
I want the mining to run stealthy - nothing sinister going on. I just want it to run in the background without GUI
thanks in advance

Hello everyone
i'm using -mport and -mpsw but there's no autentication when i visit the statistics. Any advice?

I have server with 2 CPU. when i run claymore in auto mode, it just run with 1 CPU only. How to config to use 2 cpu for mining?
Hello
Is version 3.9 optimized for Intel 8700 series and and Ryzen 7?
If to buy new what will be your recommendation guys?

I did say wait til april and get the ryzen 2600 cpu,
or get the ryzen 1600 now.
ryzen hashes great.
Sorry if this was already answered but if I'm using v 3.9 of the Claymore Miner am I susceptible to the following attack if I am using the default configuration with no command line switches defined for remote management or password?

Unless you use your mining computer for something other than mining i would think your OK. Its the folks with a couple of graphics cards in a gaming computer that i think would face the most risk.
I don't understand what you mean? According to that article the management port of the Claymore Windows CPU Miner (port 3333) was how this virus/hack was communicating with the mining computer and changing the configuration of the miner to mine for its own account instead of the owner of the mining computer. I use my computer for other things besides mining and have mining running in the background.
Let me ask these questions to try and get a better answer:
1. If I'm behind a router firewall and not doing any port forwarding to 3333 on my mining computer, would I be susceptible to this hack that is occuring?
2. If a virus got on a computer on my internal network that exploits this issues with the remote management port 3333 do I have to be concerned if I have not set the management port manually to -3333 or set a management password?
Thanks.
What exactly is happening with the devfee connection here? It looks like it fails to connect to xmr.suprnova.cc so it squanders away 20 seconds before trying cyptonight.usa.nicehash.com:

The "restart" command option in Claymore CPU Miner 3.9 isn't working. I've attempted to get it to work in the config file and then in the command line. According to the Readme file the restart command, -r >o, is any value greater than 0 measured in minutes. I've tried different times from 3, 7, 10, 15 minutes etc., but the miner never automatically restarts. I thought maybe Version 3.9 has a bug so I tried Version 3.8 and I get the same results, no restart. The other commands I include such as -t 4, -retrydelay 10, work great. Only the restart command doesn't work.
I use the command line as administrator to start the miner. Again, everything works great except the restart command. The BCN pool I use bogs down after about 5-7 minutes, so automatic restarts would be ideal after about seven minutes.
The following is my command line:
"C:\Users\Username\Desktop\Claymore CryptoNote CPU Miner v3.9 - POOL\Claymore CryptoNote CPU Miner v3.9 - POOL\NsCpuCNMiner64.exe" -o stratum+tcp://bytecoin.UK:3333 -u 21uxchk29Q3G46VirciRBj6qNHnMbLNi114VsKFEqtnF2AiYA9YbPgo9oMwxH59JMv9aqTqTUo5ziVk DQqA7t5tWAbYfCCn -p x -t 4 -r 7 -retrydelay 10
Any help in getting the restart command to work would be appreciated.

A brief explanation for repeating question" Why my CPU runs slow"
1. The most important value in the miner is -t n (number of threads) which is your CPU L3 cache size divided by 2.
I.e. for 8Mb the optimal is -t 4, for 4Mb it is -t 2, but for L3 3Mb cache -t 2 is also performs well (so you can round up your L3/2 formula result)
2. Of course the perfomance of miner depends on your CPU clock (if it could be overclocked)
3. Owners of the notebooks CPU's (especially ULV) - do not be shocked by low results, your CPU's are "eneregy saving" and are missing performance as they are not designed to work at full run all time. Do not expect desktop's CPU perfomance from your notebook!
4. Windows10 itself also makes a difference with total hashrate (I mean a huge number of services running in backgroud), as well as a lot of shit preinstalled bloatware processes running at newbie's computers.
5. If your computer not mines only (after clean start), but you use it for work at same time, then be ready for up to 20-30% hashrate drop
ADVICE - Run Remote Manger (which is supported by this miner now and included in the package) and look how your CPU (and threads) performs in real time.

i cant run this as administrator on ANY of my windows 10 machines. it just opens and closes immediately. Anyone else have this issue and figure out a fix for it?
thanks!
You probably made a mistake in your configuration. Can u please post your config?thanks!
Update: That is solved when one runs the shortcut of the miner.exe setup to run as administrator after we put the start.bat options in the shortcut. After the 1st time it starts correctly and reboot it works properly from the start.bat as usual for Claymore's miners.
hi amm i have a core i7 7700hq and giving me very low speeds 80-100 how do i fix?
?and this and its on fast mode and its on 8 threads
?and this and its on fast mode and its on 8 threadsSo, you will want 2mb per core/thread , hence ur cpu have 6mb cache try out -t3

It looks like the benefit from enabling large page support and "-t 8" is very modest relative to the increased CPU load (+20 points), and the hashrate varies a lot more now, swinging over a range of >100 points with an average of 405; before the swing was more like 20 points, with an average of 375. So about 8% more hash for 33% more CPU load (80% / 60% = 1.33).
Here is a representative block of hashrates from the last 45 minutes, and this is with the devfee enabled, too:

Its probably because you havent enabled large pages, there is a guide somewere how you do it.
Yeah, a minor complication is that this is machine has Windows 10 Home (I know, I know!) so I had to go through some gyrations to enable large page support: http://awesomeprojectsxyz.blogspot.com/2017/11/windows-10-home-how-to-enable-lock.html
But large pages are now enabled so I just need to stop mining and reboot.

I belive that 8 threads is the optimal number of threads for the ryzen 6 core because of the l3 cache. , yeah 400 hashes is abit little you should probably get between 470-550h/s
With version 3.8 and large pages enabled on windows i did get 485 hashes
settings were as follow: 3.8ghz overclock cpu , voltages auto , 8 threads

I don't have large pages enabled - will have to reboot to set that - but so far setting "-t 8" has resulted in more CPU usage - close to 80% - and *less* H/s - now averaging about 360!?! I even tried re-enabling the devfee and no difference (except it wasting 40 seconds trying to connect to one of the pools that couldn't be reached - not cool, Claymore).
So I don't know how you are getting >470 H/s out of this miner...

also is it a Ryzen 5 1600 cpu that you have? in that case your hashrate is abit low.
~400 H/s is a bit low for a Ryzen 5 1600? That's better than I'm getting with mine (370-390 H/s), though I did turn the devfee off because it kept failing to connect to the devfee pool and was spending way too long on the issue.
*If* I can get 400+ H/s *and* the devfee server isn't an obstacle I'll gladly re-enable paying the devfee.
Are you ussing 6 cores? or 12?
also are you using 3400 MHZ or you overclock?
You mean threads? It's a 6-core CPU, 12-thread CPU. According to HWInfo and task manager I am using all 12 threads but at around 60% of maximum. I'd be okay pushing that to maybe 80%, but this is the computer I actually use so I don't want it to get too sluggish.
Haaa ok my bad, i tougth i was ussing half becouse says "12 logical CPU cores" and then it says "Using 6 threads" om this picture, its ok then.
Yes, i think the CPU ussage migth help, i have the same in all cores, allways arround 50 more or less.
The last miner i used was allways on 100% all 12 cores. Do you know how to change that on claymore? i want to see how much the H/s goes up.
EDIT: on AMD page it says that it has 12 threads and 6 cores. im a bit confussed.
I belive that 8 threads is the optimal number of threads for the ryzen 6 core because of the l3 cache. , yeah 400 hashes is abit little you should probably get between 470-550h/s
