First post! Hi there chaps.

Gained an interest in mining at a rapid pace this passed week. Feeding my brain with as much info as possible. Wink

Running some CPU miners to get all the know-how. Compiled a whole bunch of CPU & GPU miners, both release and development versions. Even went for different checkouts, merged some different tree's and idea's i had to try out some things. Last but not least, put up some monero daemons (nodes) on a couple of servers i manage, to support the cause. Grin

Will be building a 4x or 6x GPU-rig (free power) for a friend of mine and gathered all de requirements for it, except choosing the right GPU, which lead me here a couple of days back.

Thanks for setting up a proper website @herrdrone! Sick and tired of those crappy google docs! I would love to help out if the code suits me and your willing to put it on github. Which language/framework are u using if i may ask? Can cook up something else, there are some great tools available to get quick results.

Finally, here's some hashrate info for the miners i run atm;

CPU: Intel Core i5 3230M
Threads: 4
Hashrate: 51.57 H/s
Miner: Wolf's CPUMiner
OS: Win 10 64bit

CPU: Intel Core2Quad Q9450 (NO AES-NI)
Threads: 4
Hashrate: 58 H/s
Miner: Claymore CryptoNote CPU Miner v3.5 Beta
OS: Win 10 64bit

CPU: Intel Xeon D-1520
Threads: 3
Hashrate: 82.52 H/s
Miner: Wolf's CPUMiner
OS: Debian 8.6 (jessie) 64bit

CPU: Intel Core i7 2600K @ 4.5Ghz
Threads: 4
Hashrate: 195.16 H/s
Miner: Wolf's CPUMiner
OS: Win 10 64bit

CPU: Intel Xeon E5-2687W x 2
Threads: 20
Hashrate: 897.63 H/s
Miner: Wolf's CPUMiner
OS: Ubuntu 14.04 64bit

All are added as a service, background/idle process-priority and are regularly under some load. The miners itself are natively compiled on the system (except for Claymore ofc).

Interesting note though, that last one, is a server i rent @ OVH. While it is still at Ubuntu 14.04, it's packages are all up-to-date, but i suddenly noticed the kernel didn't have any updates since it's install.
Updating or manually installing a linux-image-* packages didn't work, it kept using the old kernel. Seems OVH supplies a customized kernel on install, which has to be forced 'out of the way' before a different one is selected. Personally went from '3.10.9-xxxx-std-ipv6-64' to '4.4.0-38-generic'.

It actually gave me a boost of at least +/-100-150 H/s.
Here's more info on OVH kernel updating

Hi, glad you enjoy the website  Cool.

As much as i can tell you, it is placed on a free hosting plan, So I did it as simple as possible (PHP+MYSQL), it is built in a framework-like structure as I reused some scripts I already had (around 2 years without building a website). If I get some free time (I've been really busy lately) I can upload the skeleton to github.

Also, I appreciate the time you took to submit your benchs & add configuration details, that'll be really useful to everyone. I already added them to website. 

Keep mining Smiley
