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)...
1. This is my logical mistake. Turning on the total correction blocks found in comparison with the calculated from the start of the system. So the current difficulty is too high - 2100 blocks is the estimated week+, and was a little less than four days.
2. 64-bit should be faster. At least one hash function skein, designed for 64-bit systems. Need a check, but the problem is that mingw32 - a compiler 32-bit exe.
