To Hash or not to Hash, that's what the question

90H/s with i7-7700 3.6GHZ

- this is ridiculously slow speed for this cpu, my core 2 duo e8400 does that. i7 7700 is capable of doing 350hs if pproperly set. Make sure you have modified your policy (gpedit,msc - lock pages in memory for your user/admin and adjusted system settings such as page file and system performance to "performance"

If you have your old LGA775 motherboard that can work with 1333/1600 MHz bus speed - buy XEON LGA771 with 12mb cache and higher clock speed and mod it with 2$ adapter available from ebay you will get around 100hs from your old clunker.

If you have c2d extreme 3,6ghz/12/1600 - thats the way to go, but its not cheap at all, xeons are much better choice, there are even lga775 xeons available, you wont even need to mod anything.

I have a sharp pencil and a sheet of notebook paper - can I use that to mine Monero??

Update your CPU.txt to have an entry for each core.

xmr-stak now works with both cpu and gpu

Not ASICs for Monero(yet) gpu mine it while you can.

Sorry to be a stick in the mud... but Monero REALLY should be mined with Asics or a Really powerfull GPU (like the AMD Vega) due to it's difficulty.

Hmm... I do not know of any ASICs that can mine XMR. AFAIK it can only currently be mined with GPUs and CPUs.

hi guys i have 10 raspberry pi 3,
i would mining monero it's possible with raspberry pi 3?

What hash rate can have a raspberry?

Do you have some suggestions?

Mine VRM (Verium), very efficient on SBCs like rpi or odroid.

Don't waste your time on monero or any cryptonote coins

There are not Monero ASICS, yet. So GPU is your best bet. Mine it, or buy it now before there are ASICS.

I'm running on old laptops and getting, 254h/s on one and 904h/s on the other.

how do you mine monero?

I've just opened a topic asking for coinhive... Huh

I have a question too now that my rig is ready and since suprnova thread was not having good replies I am asking here. Any step by step guide how to mine with nanopool because suprnova it connects and it mines yet it shows me 0 hashrate ? I see many youtube videos but they fail to show the most important part, the configuration of Claymore 9.7 Cryptonight miner.

Monero is still good to mine, but you should really look at your power consumption on the pi vs the tiny hash rate you will be getting.

I'm running on old laptops and getting, 254h/s on one and 904h/s on the other.

Not sure how much power they consume, but using a pi is like trying to loose $$. Unless maybe these are running at your desk at work.

the pi would be great for running a few stick miners.

round about 4 H/s per Pi like the following story:
https://www.hiddenjadestone.com/2017/07/02/aeon/mining-raspberry-pi-3-model-b/

So you got 40 H/s > Even an old CPU will bring more hashrate.
