I want to know how you set up to mine for yourself.  I have a rig and another machine I mine with now and pull about 4 - 4.5KH/s  I've mined on pools since late August.

Does anyone have a step by step instruction of how to set this up.  Both machines are running Windows.   

I've heard people on different Monero mining forums talk about this some have suggested it but I'm not the most gifted computer person by any means.

From what I understand you might make a few more XMR because you are not paying out fees to the pool. 

Any in depth clarity on this would be very much appreciated, and please assume I'm an idiot as I said before not the most gifted computer person.

I think you need to run an instance of this pool, and connect your gpu miners to it:
https://github.com/zone117x/node-cryptonote-pool

Afaik this is only going to run on linux (I guess if you can build redis on windows it could work...mebbe), and you have to set up the database backend yourself, and if you have a shitty internet connection you might get more orphans than normal. If you want to support a nice small pool (run by hegemoOn, who is always on irc and runs one of the only open bitmonerod nodes for people who want to run a "light-weight" wallet), you should check out http://monero.coolmining.club/ ... we are stuck on a block for like a week now, could use some support Smiley

the haswell reportedly has AES-NI

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haswell_%28microarchitecture%29

can this instruction set be modified in the bios?

Yes that article is for the i3, i5 and i7.  The Pentium is a low end chip that has several things disabled.

I don't touch bios, I am the Drooling Masses ®

I guess it makes sense to try the core2 version first.  I'll try after work, yes it is Sunday.  Thanks again Smiley

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=YAM+miner

first link, goto the mega download page, and pick your CPU architecture and operating system. For instance, all my stuff is 771 xeons hacked to 775 with the sticker mod, so I use core2-linx 64.

honestly, the Yam is the first I got to work (back when I was reeaaallly new to linux), so I don't know if its even the best. It was just the easiest for me.

TY GingerAle

I have windows 64 with a new pentium chip that says it is a haswell  Grin but the haswell version didn't work as mine is non AES-NI.  I guess I need either the core2 or generic version.

Anybody have any experience with this?

guys ı have problem with this miner:claymore cpu miner
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/claymores-cryptonote-windows-cpu-miner-v40-647251

i cant start it in normal mode and cant start it as admin please helpp! thanks.

screen shot of error? Or paste the error output?  I haven't used claymore  - I've used YAM because I have non aes-NI processors.

I also have a non AES-NI processor and have been using the original LucasJones miner.  How do you find the YAM miner and which version do you use?

Right now I´m running 10 280x card over 3 rigs. Would be nice not to have ro run more then that and keep the same hash with lower watt.


Is the value of the mined XMR more than the electricity?

depends how you define "value"

if "value" = current USD value, probably not.

if value = securing a network that you believe in, than thats a definite yes.

people do things for other reasons than monetary gain. its crazy I know. Star trek future here we come.


Thank you for the hash/watt info.  Smiley

Do you know what hash you could expect from a 960?

750 ti looks like about 250-300 hash / 35 watt for $129
960 about ? hash / ? watt for $200

Looks like I have to do some more research.  Grin

i was chattin with someone with a 970, which has a spec of 145 watt, and they were pullin between 500 -> 700 hash / second or something. The 145 # is spec, so no idea what its pulling from the wall when actually hashing.

Is there anybody that knows of an Android miner for phones?  I have a few old Android phones laying around and would be curious to mess around with it see what they could hash.

I think it could probably be done, as there are litecoin miners for android/arm, but afaik there aren't any available for cryptonight.

anyone tried the gtx 960?

Thinking about upgrading my mining rig and looking at the 750 ti or gtx 960 depending on hash/watt.



i remember someone saying the has / watt ends up being about equivalent, and when comparing 750 ti to anything above, its really about how many pci slots you want to take up - 2-3 750 tis or one 960 kinda thing. And then it gets to a price / hash / watt.

You can break Google's 8 core limit on trial by using "container engine" (cluster). Sometimes when new project created the limit is 24 core, so create a cluster with 2x 8 core nodes (+1 main) = 24 core. Create several projects. On your own risk indeed.

And don't forget to point your hashrate to my pool http://hashinvest.net.

Cheers.



Thanks for the tip but I tried on three different projects and I was still limited to 8 cores max per region.

I don't know how you did it.

Use Container engine.

^^^^ thanks for that word "Apophenia"

could be a good name for a blockchain compression algorithm I dreamed up
