Number of 1990 blocks reached! Seems like total hashrate slowed down, so generating speed is near to 250 coins per day, maybe a little bit more.
It has - I mined about 6 coin in the first 24 -30 hours, but the next 24 hours I only mined 1 on the same machine/config. Diff shot up and luck was down
Now it makes me wish I had sprung for the faster cpu
BTW: does the windows .exe use all available processing extensions available in today's cpus (like SSE3)? That's more a function of the compiler settings than the source code. Would a 64-bit version buy much in terms of performance? If the operations are mostly 32-bit int then probably not (I suppose I could look at the source to get a clue on that)...
