Hi I have a technical question, What miner settings should I use on my i7 6800k? I'm quite new in cpu mining so I don't know much yet. Also is it profitable to mine with my cpu at all?
There isn't much info about mining on this algo...

I have tried cpuminer-avx2 and I got about 540 h/s (0.5 kh/s) is this normal? I have read people getting 45kh/s with i7 6700k but thats maybe on another algo?? Its so confusing beacuse there is lyra2z lyra2z330 lyra2v2  etc. Whats the differences between these ??

Your hash rate is about right, you cannot get 45 kh/s on our algo.

Okay thanks clears a lot of questions. But what are people running to get so high hashrates then? How do you get 200kh/s ? I mean its like 400 i7 6800k's  Grin so about 160000$ how is it even profitable Huh

I haven't tried it myself, but some people posted on our discord channel that they get around 400 h/s with https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=MOTHERBOARD+UMA&_sacat=0 motherboards. It's only 35 pounds per peace, at least it was.


Okay, interesting. Anyway I did some digging and found that some of the guys use AWS to mine this coin, but it raises a question: exactly what type of aws service should I take to make some profit? Because the monthly fees are ridiculous for some higher servers that have decent computing power, while there's also the free one but thats only 1 core cpu which is probably slower than my smartphone... Have you or someone some info/experience with it?
