Re: BipCoin, CryptoNote with Fast, Solid Transactions + profitable to mine

hey friends
i need some help setting up yam to mine on the democats pool
the config files are quite complex
does anyone have a template for me?
i have a i7 5930k on windows 10 64 bit

Here's what I use for my i7 6700. You'll definitely want to adjust your threads and CPU binding, and also plug your address where the XXXXXXXXX's are. It also has cryptonotepool as a backup pool.

Code:

threads = 4

worker-params = 0:cpu-bind=6
worker-params = 1:cpu-bind=4
worker-params = 2:cpu-bind=2
worker-params = 3:cpu-bind=0

worker-params = 4:cpu-bind=7
worker-params = 5:cpu-bind=5
worker-params = 6:cpu-bind=3
worker-params = 7:cpu-bind=1

mining-params = xmr:av=3&donation-interval=50

mine = stratum+tcp://XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:x@pool.democats.org:45590/xmr
mine = stratum+tcp://XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:x@cryptonotepool.com:3336/xmr

#proxy = socks4a://127.0.0.1:9150
#proxy = socks5://127.0.0.1:1080
compact-stats = 1
print-timestamps = 1

thank you. i changed threads to 6 and the cpu-bind values to 6 4 2 0 10 8. im getting about 200 h/s with a cpu load around 70%.

That seems a little low, but I don't have experience with your CPU. I can get ~250 h/s out of my i7 6700. Your CPU has 15MB of cache, and mining needs 2MB per thread. Try it with 7 threads, you might get a decent boost.

im on 6 threads right now, so not 8 threads trying to use 16MB cache. 7 threads seems useless with only 6 physical cores

On my Corei5 4670 machines they have 4 cores and 6Mb of cache. According to this I should be most efficient running 3 threads. When I do I get about 82 h/s when I run 4 threads I get 93 h/s .. so what does the cache have to do with this?
