Re: Noob in Bitcoins and Mining!

Ok I installed LiteCoin on both my MacBook pro (in MacOS) and on my Server (Windows).

The LiteCoin did take forever to download and start mining, but when it started, I saw "only" 32 cores being utilized. But even the 32 cores which were being used, didn't work properly. I know, because Windows has caused only problems with pretty much any software I've used. My guess is, that the Litecoin software I used was only 32Bit. I have set to 48 of course. Also I don't believe that the numbers could be possible accurate as I saw only 40 kH. In order to see what my server can do, I would need to set it up in Linux.

 My guess is, that the Ubuntu guides I found would work fine if I wasn't using such an old Ubuntu version.
I'm using 10.10 and I'm unsure if it will make much of a difference if I update to 12.04. But I will give it a try as I'm sure it probably won't cause that many problems...

The software for Windows and MacOS is just so easy to set up, I wonder why nobody addressed the design of the Ubuntu version.

But both values of both rigs are much much lower than I ever would have thought. The MacBook Pro is at 8 - 9 kH, and the Sever at 45 kH.
I don't really see a way, how the server could possibly crack the 400 kH-mark to even cover the electricity expenses...

Edit:

Even if all 48 were running properly and I would gain another 10% due to the OC in Linux, I'd still be 75 kH in Linux. Which no were close would be worth the effort. Could anybody confirm the kH numbers I got? Or Are my numbers just smaller?
