Well below is my 'puny' setup using windows 10 64 bit with the nicehash CPU miner direct to BTC for now.
At the below address.
https://www.nicehash.com/?p=miners&addr=1PbhCD56EE1ur45UvTca5wEUkAPpTi25oqCurrently as of just launched I'm making 13.7c per day. (Zowie!) on my
Windows 10 64 bit Satellite Pro 2010 st-6844 with 8 gig max ram (full) and Intel 4 core (8 core with virtual cores) (also currently running on 6 cores in bat file)
at a blinding I7 Q20 1.90 GHz CPU again with 8 meg ram total.
1.64/sols speed
0.0001 BTC a day.
13.7c USD a day
Living the dream I am. LOL

Here is the youtube link I used to toss this up on the Windows 10 machine. I plan on getting a Ubuntu 16.04 box up with 8 gig I have laying about up and running this
for giggles also.
Eventually I MAY figure out how to make an address and a wallet. But not that far yet
Anyway the youtube video link took 10 min to watch and 2 min to install. Just make sure you find out how many cores your CPU has via looking up the specs
the bat file is setup he uses on the youtube video (see comments) and all you put in for nicehash is your BTC address and what you have for cores.
I have my cores set at the end of the batch file at 6 IF I'm not using it for much or it dog's down. CPU performance is probably 80%. Remember on Intel I7 CPU's
from what I understand have 4 real cores and 4 virtual cores for a total of 8 cores. The author in the youtube video used 6 as did I. Also note even thou I have
an I7 that 'supposedly' could use the newer computer file he mentions in the video. Mine was too old (2000 machine) thus I used what he uses for a batch
file mentioned. So all I7 CPU's are not equal.
Also nicehash only mines to BTC directly to your address. (payouts daily). Anyway again the link below
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVNGcF37jM4He has an update to the above to mine GPU and or the above CPU to an address wallet on a pool. I have not got that far yet. So check his thread.
The other CPU version he mentions is below. Windows 64 bit also. BUT it mines to a pool and address and such. I've not figured out how to make a wallet yet. Need a Linux box setup
I'm working on first ..but here is the link if you want or know how to jump right to that.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jt4rsP5qshEHis same channel on youtube has GPU miner setup of various kinds and other stuff.
Anyway folks on here can post there results and/or rigs and we can see if this boat floats or not. Anyway the above CPU setup is quick and amusing as a way to start.
