Hi there!
The questions:
a) Is there any way to store the miner output to a file (i.e. text, Calc, Excel, etc.) in Windows in order to do some analysis?
b) Is there any way to run/swicth the miners with separate configurations based on the computer usage (i.e. when the computer is Idle, when the computer is beeing used by an user) to minimize user loss of performance perception in Windows?
The context: I'm having several (arround 20, from very old to 1 year old) computers in our office that I want to mine with. I'm trying to run the miners in the background without disturbing the user and trying to log the miner activity to be able to analyze it's output once per week to check serveral things:
- Is the pool rejecting my hasing power?
- Is the output from the miner close to the one repoted by the pool?
- Is the pool having connection / logouts / timeouts issues?
- Is it profiterable to mine with that PC?
Thanks in advance and sorry for my ignorance.
Southern Regards,
a) On windows (there is similar solution on linux):
minerexecutable [options] >> mineroutput.txt
You could then parse the file by a custom program of yours and get the needed statistics.
b) "If you are using Win-7 you can do that in task scheduler. Open the task scheduler, select My Task Schedules, and choose Create Task (not create basic task). Give it a name, click the Actions tab and choose the program you want to run. Choose the Conditions tab, click on "run if idle for xxx minutes", and check stop running if computer ceases to be idle." - I found it with google (not tested)
Hi!
I will buy a new PC for my office, and would like to mine XMR during non-labor time.
Assuming the PC will run Windows 7 (64 bits) Professional, and that it will have 8 Gb of RAM (DDR3), which CPU is better for XMR mining:
- Intel´s i7 3770K or
- AMD's FX 8350.
Should I need to consider anything else?
Thanks!

My 3610QM used to get 6 H/s with the original Bytecoin code, but this was fixed in the first weeks of XMR by the Monero devs to become 10 H/s, 20 H/s, 35 H/s, 80 H/s, 100+ H/s and now with the yam miner its 127 H/s).
