Topic: [XMR] Monero Mining - page 30. (Read 264880 times)
Could someone please point me to a tutorial on setting up a monero mining pool?
On DwarfPool added ports with fixed difficulty, very useful for miners via proxy

I take care of this pool all the time. Stable, Long running pool.
I am running wolf's miner without the AES-NI support. Getting 47 H/s with 7 threads and my CPU load is at 97%.
If you have a 4-year old mobile i7, try switching to 2 or possibly 3 threads.
As far as I can tell from wikipedia, all mobile i7s support AES-NI so you should be running a miner with AES-NI support, not without.
Wolf's miner with AES-NI automatically crashes when it loads the miner. I'll try 3 threads right now. 2 threads lowers me to 23 H/s
For i7-2630QM you should download the Sandy Bridge version. You should enable large pages first (http://support.sisoftware.co.uk/knowledgebase.php?article=52) and restart your laptop. The default fee for the yam miner is 2%, but you could change it to 1%. If your RAM become fragmented you can't use the large pages, so make sure NOT to see an error when you start the miner: "Error: Can not allocate hugepages memory, error=1450", because you'll get lower hashrate.
Yes this was worth mining a few months ago. But now many of the linux miners started mining XMR and its no more profitable then X11
My cpu is a i7-2630QM 2.0 Ghz. That's all the info I have on it without using something like CPU-Z

"AES New Instructions: Yes"
I have no idea why Wolf's miner isn't working. If you can get a miner with AES-NI you should increase your performance a lot. That CPU has 6 MB L3 so you would want 3 threads with AES-NI.
7-10 threads all give me 47-49 H/s.

Strange. I wonder what CPU model that is.
Without AES-NI yes it is possible more threads will help but you are even less likely to be cost efficient mining with it.

Not off hand, but its a mobile (laptop) version of the i7 and is about 4 years old so I don't expect high numbers off it. I'll have to try my desktop i7 later on.
Are you running two mining threads? According to wikipedia those should have 4 MB of L3 cache and work best with 2 threads.

I would boot up my old scrypt miner with my 7870's, but at a rate of only 0.25 XMR per card per day I may as well just buy the monero rather than mine it. I would really be happy with something along the lines of 5-7 XMR per day, but it doesn't look like 1-2 mining rigs could achieve that.
Buying rather than mining is very often a good choice.
If you want to build GPU rigs for XMR something with 6 750tis and a good CPU should mine almost 2 XMR per day, possibly a bit more if well optimized. It is possible to build AMD rigs that are much faster (700-800 H/sec per 290x) at higher cost and a tiny bit less power efficient but you will be using a closed source miner (Claymore): https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/claymores-cryptonote-amd-gpu-miner-v113-638915
I see. So is the Monero algo not very intensive on the graphics cards? When I used to run one on full load with scrypt algos they'd be chewing up a good 200-400W each card.
The nvidia 750 tis are very power resourceful. They don't even have a direct connection to the PSU, they draw all their power through the PCI-E slot, so they max out at about 50-60 W I think, but will typically draw more like 30 W with no overclocking. It might be break even to mine on AMD cards using claymore's miner, if you have low electricity rates, like < $0.10/kWh.
So basically all current mining is not currently profitable?
It really depends on your electricity rates. I recently calculated the break even at around 0.09 USD for a desktop CPU. Other CPUs or GPUs may be somewhat more efficient.
AWS published rates are not profitable, and usually not break even but occasionally close to break even if you know what you are doing.
Cloud computing promotions may be profitable at times.

Right now I have a mini version of i7 and I get 40 H/s
Not sure what i7 that is but most should be well above 40 H/s. Do you know the CPU model number?

What CPU could mine at or greater than 5 KH/s?
Is there a list anywhere?
Is there a list anywhere?
No single cpu could mine at 5 kh/s or greater. I think if you have a badass i7 it will be around 200-300 h/s, while a 16-core cpu on AWS is around 1 kh/s.
So basically all current mining is not currently profitable?
Right now I have a mini version of i7 and I get 40 H/s which turns out to only 0.05 XMR per day aka $0.04 which cost me $0.29 to mine.
Any idea what the 16 cpu AWS virtual PC would cost per month?
I would like to mine monero at least "at cost", what setup would I need to do this?
I'm quite certain you won't be mining "at cost" on AWS. I think the most efficient way to mine monero atm is using nvidia 750 tis, where you can get ~220 h/s on 30-40 W.

I doubt there is a single CPU that can do that. Its more like roughly 50 H/sec per core, a bit more for high end.
To get 5 KH/sec you would need multiple CPUs.
