Hi Guys, been following this thread and mining for about a week now. I am using the wolf-multi may 29th releae and I have and i7 4700k. I beleive that I do indeed have the AES-NI on my chip and have tried using 8 threads, 7 threads, 6 threads and now 4 threads using information in this thread however the best results are still with 8 or 7 threads. SO, I am probbaly doing somehting wrong or the code isnt optimized for my machine (hardware, software config) here is a full rundown for information for others in the same boat.

Wolf-Multi CPU may 29th 2014 release
Intel i7 4770k with NO overclock on BOIS

Windows 7 64bit Ultimate
16GB RAM 1600MHZ on profile 1 (Through BOIS)

Hashrate in H/s
Hashrate at 8 threads - 145 - 160
Hashrate at 6 threads - 171 to 202
Hashrate at 4 threads - 174 to 189


IF anyone needs or wants more info I can post. I just hope i have helped the developers and others that are reading.

Thanks for your effort, but I still have doubts about this code making use of AES-NI instruction set.
I tested on my AES capable CPU these variants:

    minerd_LucasJones-static-newlinux-corei7-20140602.x86_64
    minerd_LucasJones-static-oldlinux-core2-20140602.x86_64
    minerd_LucasJones-static-oldlinux-core2-aes-20140602.x86_64

I got exactly the same results using any of the three variants: 54 H/s
The test has been done using 6 threads. So, I got 9 H/s per thread.
Does it really improves efficiency having a CPU with the AES instructions?

Hey man, I just added a build of the wolf9446 fork which has more AES-NI improvements.
Code:
minerd_wolf9466-static-newlinux-corei7-aes-20140602.x86_64
http://monerominers.net/#static_linux

Experiment with lowering the thread count, as @equipoise suggested.

CoinGekko has Monero at #11 (right behind NXT and PPC)...
Mostly based, it appears, on Dev activity and high exchange liquidity.

The Big Time, baby!!!

If you have problems compiling cpuminer, these static cpuminer binaries for old (and new) Linux distributions should save you some time:
http://monerominers.net/#static_linux
  compiled with GCC 4.8

    minerd_LucasJones-static-newlinux-AMD-piledriver-20140602.x86_64
    minerd_LucasJones-static-newlinux-core2-20140602.x86_64
    minerd_LucasJones-static-newlinux-corei7-20140602.x86_64
    minerd_LucasJones-static-newlinux-corei7-avx-20140602.x86_64


 compiled with GCC 4.4 and tested on Red Hat 5

    minerd_LucasJones-static-oldlinux-core2-20140602.x86_64
    minerd_LucasJones-static-oldlinux-core2-aes-20140602.x86_64


Please let me know how it works for you. I might add more flavors, e.g. wolf9466.

monerominers.net is also a brand new, small community pool.

Use half of the cores in AES-NI optimized processor, because AES-NI is not hyper threaded (intel, I'm not sure how many you should use on amd). Also try this faster AES-NI optimized miner: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/new-more-optimized-mro-cpuminer-updated-05282014-proof-of-2x-increase-619373 (will crash on non-aes-ni processor if you don't build it on your own).

Thank you so much for everybody who help me. I just started mining MRO now. Smiley

Sine secretum non libertas
Unless you setup and secure severs for a living I wouldn't try this. The hackers will rip you apart and steal your and everyone's coins. It has happened more than once in they year I have been here. Entire exchanges robbed..
I do not know how secure ... is and what is necesary but i am willing to learn.

There is no end to the learning of security practice.  It really is a domain for full-time dedicated professionals.  The best single measure you can take is to insure that keys to wallets which contain amounts of coins in excess of what you are willing to cover out of pocket as a risk of doing business are not stored on that machine (nor any machine accessible from it).  After you take that measure, then you can sleep soundly, and any further security practices are beneficial but of diminishing returns.

this is not the right thread most likely. But is there a walk through on how to set up a pool. I have a server and stable internet and would like to direct it to pool set up. I do not know much about severs or pools.
a valid concern would be:  these are other peoples money and must be kept safe and secure. I agree with this and would not expose someone to risk unless I felt comfortable in the end after learning about it and learning about server maintenance. if it is daunting and more like a neurosurgeon building a rocket ship then most likely I will not dabble in this.

well. it is behind a firewall in a medicl practice. the server has the hippa requirements for patient information security. I do not know if that means anything. the server itself does not have patient records, because the patient files have been cleared from the server. the server has the legacy firewals and security from when it was used a a patient database.

I do not know how secure this is and what is necesary but i am willing to learn.

http://mro.extremepool.org is up and working perfectly!  
Code:
minerd -a cryptonight -o stratum+tcp://mro.extremepool.org:5555 -u address -p x

I downloaded cpuminer-multi-wolf-05-29-2014, when I clicked minerd nothing comes in dos screen and it disappears. What should I do?
In Windows:
Make a .txt file in the same folder as minerd.exe, put the command you mention in there, and then rename it to mining.bat (not txt extension).
Click on this and the mining begins.

Thank you, I did .bat file but this time when I click it says minerd.exe has stopped working. (win7 64 bit, I downloaded correct programs) What could be the problem?

Most probably your CPU doesn't support AES-NI instruction set.Try using cpu miner 1.0.3 from Lucas which is a bit slower but supports all x64 processors.

Thanks for answer. I have core 2 duo processor, my pc is very old but I want to mine this. I tried Wolf miner, cryptonote's own wallet miner, both failed. I searched cpu miner 1.0.3 but I can't find it. Can you show me where to find it?

The hashrate was not always at a constant 2% of the network, so you can't estimate it this way.
It was reasonably close. I know how to estimate hash rate. Whatever it was, getting zero blocks during that time period without there being a problem was unlikely.
Your pool is not along in having issues with underperformance, so I not trying to single you out, just relaying my experience. There are definitely some software and/or deployment issues that need to be worked out with these pools.

True, there is always a process that crash or get stuck. The pool software really need improvement.

(We did a fix recently on our pool http://monero.crypto-pool.fr/ and it works great. Less orphan and more blocks)

Start supporting decentralization!

www.Extremehash.com is giving away another round of 10% mining bonus to support this cause and build more confidence in Monero. Keep the hashes coming this way!

Code:
minerd -a cryptonight -o stratum+tcp://mro.extremehash.com:9999 -u address -p x

Tried it. Hash rate was decent for the pool while I was testing it (roughly 2% of the entire network, i.e. >1 block per hour expected) and got no blocks for many hours. 10% of nothing is nothing. You need to do better to jumpstart it somehow, or fix whatever is wrong with it. For now can't recommend.

All code has been updated, 10% mining bonus is still on! I will respond to all payout issues.

Confirm... no payout for last two hours from moneropool.com

me too!How about the pool?

is someone have same issue at morenopool.com, its saying on the pool total paid : 4 MRO but did'nt received that amount received only .23 is payout instant or delay? how to determine any transaction in this coin?

we need some noob-guide mining on the OP to make MRO interesting!

i found about MRO in this thread a week ago: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/annxmr-one-click-monero-miner-613072

I never mined before. I even beside, installing bit coin wallet a year ago and do some captcha solving to see is not worth doing it, know almost nothing of all of this.

That tutorial got me rolling quite fast. What I dont know I ask or just try and what is most important I learn.  Cool

The noob guide is

Quote
open the wallet and type "start_mining [number-of-threads]"

Sure you can set up a pool miner and all that, but that's a tweak. For a complete noob who manages to install a wallet, the above (solo mining) is easier and better.

It's not even that hard to score coins this way. For every 20 noobs who do this on a decent computer, one will get a full block (nice!) each day.
