Topic: Deepbit and CPU mining? (Read 3156 times)
CPU mining just isn't worth it, bro.
I hope you get fired. You waste more company's electricity money than your own personal gain.
CPU mining and BTCGuild works perfectly, but I'd like Deepbit.
It might be actually better to stay at BTCGuild or use smaller pools for CPU mining...
"Why?"
Because depending on the hash-rate you get on your CPUs at the current difficulty levels, there's a very high chance on the shorter rounds that you may not even get a share in and earn anything at all.

Hey Kermee,
I have about 3000mhash/s, but I have 2 computers at my work which will get about 50mhash/s (CPU's). Thatswhy I'd like it
Care to share what CPUs these are? I have a 16core opteron 8000 server that puts out around 1.7Mhash per core. I would suggest that you be very careful running server CPUs that are capable of such mhash (I suppose they're something like X5670 or similar Sandy Bridge / Nehalem Xeons, or MagnyCours Opterons) at full 100% speed 24x7 at work. Doing so uses a LOT of electricity and if you aren't paying the bills then you can get fired for mis-appropriation of corporate computing resources. 50mhash/sec ain't worth getting fired over. Careful careful.
Anyway, to address your issues, GUI miner (and all miners) require authentication at the pool to get workloads. So I would assume you either don't have any miner accounts setup or you are failing to understand the remarkably simple UI on the mining app that has a form field for username and password along with the mining pool URL. Are you seriously not understanding the method used to login to the pools?

I have been using the Ufasoft 0.19 for CPU mining in the same scenario your describing on Deepbit.
It bugs me to see 16 CPU cores being about 2% utilized so I just pop in my USB drive and kick off my .bat file and use 14 of those cores for mining.

cpu mining isnt cost effective anymore
I have the same issue like you. No solution yet with deepbit. Other pools work well.
I heard that new version of Ufasoft's miner is fixed and can work.Also you can try jgarzik's cpuminer which didn't contained such bug.

Such short rounds do not affect user's average income.

Sounds like some server machines.

Bumps!

I've checked it but it doenst have any real reply's to my question. CPU mining and BTCGuild works perfectly, but I'd like Deepbit.

go get a gpu
Its my PC at work, no power costs.
Have you tried using the GUIminer list on the forums?
Its probably the simplest to set up..would probably help with the trouble shooting.

Could u give a link?
don't waste your time with cpu mining. electric cost far exceeds the mhash you'll get.

Hi there,
Trying to get some CPU's mining on Deepbit, but i'm having some problems.
If I try the standard CPUminer, I get:
Error 0x80190191 translates to BG_E_HTTP_ERROR_401 which means The requested resource requires user authentication.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=printpage;topic=28910.0
So I've found this link, which says I need to use "rpcminer-cpu.exe", but with this miner the performance is really bad.
Any suggestions? Thanks.
