How do you guys mine?
I have 8core AMD, 8GB RAM, Windows 7 x64 and this script:
Code:
cpuminer-btver1 -a scrypt:1048576 -o stratum+tcp://poolinat0r.com:4444 -u xxx.xxx -p xxxx
In cpuminer-opt-3.4.7-windows iget this error:
Code:
[2016-09-29 01:11:39] Scrypt buffer allocation failed
[2016-09-29 01:11:39] Scrypt buffer allocation failed
[2016-09-29 01:11:39] Scrypt buffer allocation failed

You're running out of memory and will have to reduce the thread count. Add -t 4 to your command line to start at 4 threads and increase the number until it's as high as you can get it without inducing that error.
I tried that.
It only starts with 2 cores and ridiculous low hashrate (about 10h/s total).
Meanwhile mining solo with the wallet and 8 cores gives 850h/s.
