Re: Tips for CPU-only miners? (hopefully I haven't double-posted this!)
Hi,
The most efficient CPU miner if you are using an Intel CPU is ufasoft:
http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3486.0
For ease of use, I suggest you to get the latest version of GUI Miner here:
http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3878.0
In GUI Miner, click on New -> ufasoft miner. Select your preferred pool and enter your username and passwords.
I suggest you to use the following flags for ufasoft miner:
-v -t 2 -g no
This specifies that you will use 2 threads (1 for each core), and forces no gpu usage.
You should now be getting significantly higher hash rates than using CPU/RPC miner. Although, using a CPU to mine is much more inefficient than using a GPU. I recommend getting a budget ATI card (5830/5850, which is hard to come by these days) to pull in 100x more hash rates than what you would be able to achieve.
If you found my tip useful, you could donate to the following address: 1EfUBS19MnWELQ8xKgqy1ic7A4DUzZonvg
Happy mining!
