Great!
Happy mining

Hi,

Thanks for the tips, will this be faster than Minerd?

Rgds

got it to work my dumbass forgot windows only lets you use 6 out of 8 gb ram

when i try to add more it crashes strange you can see i have enough ram


how to do a screen shot

m=1024 means use 1024 in total
If you want more, put more here.
(m is not per thread, it's the total amount of memory to use)

that what i though but for some reason it only using 1 gb in total

threads = 5
mining-params = mmc:av=1&aesni=on&m=1024
mine = getwork://imdabest239.123:[email protected]:8080/mmc
compact-stats = 1
print-timestamps = 0

Depending on your needs and number of cores.
The ideal config is 1gb per thread, but it works well even with 1gb total.
The more you can spare, the merrier.

I got the miner to work but how much ram should i use i have 8 gb

Shoot your questions.
Tell me what's wrong and paste your yam-mmc.cfg

I can't get yam miner to work

Yep.
5 out of 6 is great if you mostly do "low computation" tasks.
And the new miner also lets you use the minimal 1024 ram with great performance so no problem there either.

i always mine using 5 out of 6 cores let me use my computer at the same time and stream videos etc

Great tip!
Thanks!

You will not lose income and the PC stays responsive if you use 7 cores and start yam in idle priority.

start /low /affinity 7f "yam -c yam-mmc.cfg"

So you've been told CPU mining isn't profitable? WRONG!
Depends on what coin you're mining and what miner you're using!

The most profitable coin/miner pair today is MemoryCoin/M7k yamMiner
On my i7-4770k I make around 24MMCs per day which are around $5-6 at full power.
Mid power ( 4 cores instead of 8 ) which allows you to work on the PC without even feeling a miner is on, will give you half of that.

This tutorial will explain how to setup the miner and what is the preferred computer setup for it.

There are 2 different options here:
1) Easiest - Windows users, with AES-NI supported CPUs (most newer CPUs) who want to mine at full power:
1a) Download MemoryCoin's wallet with the integrated miner (http://memorycoin.org/memorycoin-wallet-0-8-582/)
1b) Choose "Mining -> Launch Pool Miner"
1c) Sit back and let the PC work for you! You'll start getting MMCs directly to your wallet within a few hours

2) Mid-Advanced - Windows / Linux / Mac users who want more control:
2a) Download yam miner from here: https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=2609.0
2b) Choose the right file carefully! If you don't know which file to choose, check your CPU model and google for "YOUR_CPU_MODEL microarchitecture" (for example: "i7 4770k microarchitecture"). CPU-WORLD.com is a good source for that info
2c) unzip the file and play with the settings after reading the readme.txt. Too much text for you? Short version:

• Edit yam-mmc.cfg
• Put your wallet address instead of the default one in all lines you see a wallet address
• Change params if you want: av=0 means finetuning for best result (might take a few minutes but is usually worth it), m=total memory to use (1024 minimum and 1024 multiplications only), t=number of threads
• Copy yam-mmc.cfg to the folder containing the yam "executable" and run yam -c yam-mmc.cfg
  
• Watch the progress or watch for any errors and change the params if needed
  

That's it!
Easy, right?
You bought a computer (or even better - the boss bought it for you) - Don't let it sit idle. Turn it into a crypto-coin money making machine.

Enjoy.
