It looks like hw sha to me?

That's very interesting. SHA is not mentioned here...

But here it is...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldmont

OK so you have a Goldmont and it is the only Intel CPU to support SHA at this time.

It looks like all the boxes are checked, CPU, compiler, build and algo. The only question seems to be
the version of openssl. Cpuminer doesn't check the version but it needs to be 1.1 to have HW SHA support.
The only way to be sure is to compare the hash rate with a non-SHA compile.

Edit: strictly speaking, when cpuminer says it's mining with SHA it means it is using the openssl version
instead of its own SW version, but it's no guarantee that openssl is using the HW SHA instructions.

Which package needs to version 1.1?
libssl-dev or libcurl4-openssl-dev?

I have Ubuntu 16.04

How do I compile without SHA?

I thought the hash rate was pretty good for a 10w CPU.

I just enjoy playing, not any profit really.
