For your batch file, you should probably have something similar to this:

Code:

For solo:
bitcoin-miner -t 4 -v -o http://127.0.0.1:8332 -u username -p password

For pool:
bitcoin-miner -t 4 -v -o http://mining.url.something:8332 -u user.worker -p password

The -t 4 specifies the number of threads to run. If your CPU has 4 threads of execution on it, you can omit this and get the same result.

If your batch file is in the same directory as bitcoin-miner.exe, you can leave out the directory in front of the command. Otherwise, you'll need to put the full path in.

Thanks, got solo working, but still not the pool one. Tripled my hash speed compared to other cpu miners. Went from 6 to 18 mhash/s (Q9550 oced from 2.8 to 3.4ghz).
I get around 12-13mash on stock 2.8ghz

what pool are you trying to use? i think you're probably tripping on some parameter, either the url or the username and password.

slushs mining.bitcoin.cz

I just set up slush's pool:
bitcoin-miner.exe -o http://mining.bitcoin.cz:8332 -u username.worker -p workerpass -v -t 4

This will help some people

But why can't I get mine to work? I am using a Core2Quad Q9550

Driving me crazy... help much appreciated.

Edit: When I try Solo it opens and closes, when I try on a pool I get the window shown above. I open it using batch files.

So far, I get the windows installer from the site listed, and it opens my cmd, very quickly, then exits. Quick flash.

bincoin-miner.exe is not installer, it is program itself. Just run cmd.exe, change dir to where you have downloaded the program and run:

Code:

bincoin-miner.exe -o url -u user -p password

Can someone help me installing this? I'm pretty new, and I'm not quite sure I know what I'm doing.

So far, I get the windows installer from the site listed, and it opens my cmd, very quickly, then exits. Quick flash.
Then I get the files listed, and throw them in a folder in my C:\Bitcoin folder, with the bitcoin.conf file.
But the files I get have weird endings, like bitcoin-client.cpp, or bitcoin-client.h, or sha256-sse.asm.

I don't know what they are, and they open in note pad with a script.

So I go to cmd, change directories to C:\bitcoin\windows bitcoin-client.cpp --host=bitpenny.dyndns.biz --port=8332 --username=user info --password= pass info

But all it does is either open the notepad version of the file, the one with the script in it, or.... it will just say it cannot find that file.

So what do I do to fix this? Neither of my computers have OpenCL on their graphics card, but I thought this was a CPU miner?

I still can not get this miner working on Windows 7 x86 , anyone want to help me out, i can clock my Core2Quad up to 3.4Ghz and I think would get some really nice results. On all other CPU miners I only get 6 mhash/s...

Just type "btc-miner --help" and you'll get all the options you need to set up.

Performance: 2.3 MHash/s per core on 2.3 GHz CPU [1000 CPU cycles per hash]

Has anyone actually achieved 2.3 MHash/s per core? It seems like the OS would steal cycles. I'm running a 2.5 GHz dual-core CPU and I'm getting a maximum of 950 KHash/s, even when I raise the process priority.

On Core Quad Q9650 I have more than 13 MHash/s. I'm working on Windows XP

I use a core2 duo E6850 that runs at 6.8 Mhash/s on XP.

The laptop I have this miner running on is a 2.2Ghz Core2 Duo running Windows XP. I am getting ~5 MHash/sec total (when I'm not doing very much else) with the miner process set to Below Average priority in the task manager.

If I am busy doing quite a bit of other stuff, the variance of it's rate goes through the roof, but it averages more around ~3.5 MHash/sec total.

I can not get this miner to run for me. It just opens and closes.

For user it's -u and password -p correct?

What else do I need?

bitcoin-miner.exe -o http://bitpenny.dyndns.biz:8332/ -u 1B8M8C48PBGdKtsGSVnCAPMgnxFTVxGXUB -p xyzzy

i have played around with it a bit but invariably it just hangs, displaying 0 MHash/s. i can use deepbit without an issue though.

WinInet firstly makes request without Login/Password. But this pool incorrectly returns "OK" HTTP code in Response Headers.

Bitpenny probably have the easiest interface to configure for, so it's hard to understand what you might be doing wrong. What parameters are you trying to use now?

So if I '-g no' I may actually get faster hash, as it won't call out to the nonexistent GPU (or a GPU with no openCL support)?

I think that it makes that determination before it even starts hashing and then doesn't ever try again (for that instantiation of the exe). So, it shouldn't make any difference at all. But, just in case, I put the "-g no" onto my command line anyways. I don't have an OpenCL GPU on the machine that is running this particular miner.

FYI: -g no actually slowed down the hashing...so it's best to leave it out of the command line altogether.

I've been getting the same hashing speed either way.
