I will probably keep using p00linat0r until the payouts are fixed but I heard cpuminer-opt is way better than anything else...and I'm on windows. Does anyone know if you can use cpuminer-opt for solomining? I looked at the syntax of cpuminer-opt and couldn't find a way....would I just have to use a fork someone created to be able to do that? Isn't OCminer able to do solomining? Is anyone mining solo here and getting much better performance than using cpuminer-opt on a pool? Is there even another pool out there besides poolinat0r? I mean poolinat0r looks like a really good pool with low fees but I'm only curious as to see if there even was another pool or if solomining can be better (I heard the built in wallet is like 40% worse for hashrate) so what I'm looking for is if sometimes there are differant pools where my hashrate can either be better or worse or if someone is using a miner on windows via solomining that is possibly performing even better than cpuminer-opt whether pool or solomining.

Is Ubuntu really that much better for cpu mining? I don't mind installing it....but what do you guys think? I'm getting 69.5 Hash/Sec on intel 6950x @ 4.2 GHz stock voltage. This is mining on poolinat0r and on windows, is that bad or good? I'm @ 16 GB of DDR2400 RAM and it's at 95% utilization and I had to create a 64 GB pagefile just to cpu mine. I'm using 19 threads on this. Does that mean if I had to create a 64 GB pagefile that it is using 64 GB page + my 16 GB of RAM? I literally see my RAM usage @ 15.5GB of 16 GB but I think it reserves the last 500 MB on purpose and is using more of my page file than I'm comfortable with. Should I upgrade to 32 GB of RAM, 64? or 128? I mean I know this coin isn't worth that much, but I'm just curious what my 6950x 10 core i7 cpu should really be hashing at whether I switch to solo mining or Ubuntu or just get way more RAM than the 16 GB I have now.
