Thanks I tried to mine Primes XPM but after 3 days I had 0 luck.

What do you mean 0 luck after 3 days. I 'm mining some dust of primecoins with an old athlon. You should do fairly well with your xtreme hexacore!

I am totally new at this and I used the prime -qt wallet but I did not add a config file, do I need to add this?Huh?

Thanks

You should join a pool and download a miner like jhprimeminer in order to mine. Go to ypool.net and check  the how to section.

Try getting into a mining pool, bacause on your own you take a very long time to do a block

As others have said, get into a pool unless you have hundreds of CPUs available to you.
It's pretty downheartening when you are new to leave you computer on for weeks and get absolutely nada.

Yeah Primes are very popular, and very hard to get solo mining - I use a pool for SRC, but even that is getting lower returns as the price keeps going up.

Thanks for the tip... I might try SRC,  Is there alot of CPU coins? I read about Quarkcoin and thought about that one but the dif is high..

There are protoshares, Yacoin and primecoins that I know about aswell. not sure which is best to mine though.

A CPU will have a hard time getting DGC, unless you use a pool (would still be low)

There are CPU coins though, DGC's sister coin is one of them (SRC - Securecoin) - you'd have much more luck with them, and they're worth a bunch.

Hello all.

I have a few computers setup with free internet and electric and I have been trying to solo mine Digital coins for the past
18hours with the wallet and I am not having any luck at all.
The only thing I can do right now is CPU mine, the computers I am using have 6 core Intel extreme processors,


I ran the command setgenerate true-1 on all machines, I ran getmininginfo and it shows it is doing something, is there another setting to tweak?

I would think I would see something by now, is this to be expected does it take awhile to cpu mine?


Thanks

Maxon
