Since difficulty is low can we CPU mine this much like Primecoin back in the day?
I have 5 servers each with 128 cores that sit idle all day in a test environment. I cant find a CPU miner anywhere.
Any one have one that's pool capable?
Interesting... you can use this wallet
https://sourceforge.net/projects/datacoin/ to CPU mine.
It contains an embedded CPU miner (select the amount of cores) if you would just like to test it out on one server first.
Otherwise, you can do what Chicago suggested.
Again i cant install anything on these systems. We use them for testing scientific models before they are uploaded for full modeling. Normally these take 2-3 days of cpu power then they lay dormant weeks on end until the next research project. I would need a miner that i can run in a CMD prompt. Nothing is allowed to be installed or it could mess with test results.
Hi drozenski,
If you're able to execute a CPU miner as a user on the system, then you're able to execute a Datacoin-Qt or datacoind as a user.
An "installation" would be if the program became installed and was available for all users through their Start Menu.
Simply running a Datacoin-Qt or datacoind as a user without performing a full installation is just like running a CPU miner in that the user is just running a program which writes some data to the user's profile directory.
In the case of Datacoin, the files would be written into %APPDATA%\Datacoin.
Are you saying there is a difference in your environment which makes it safe to use a CPU miner which writes log files and other data but not safe to run the node software?
If so - then what do you think is the functional difference?
Best Regards,
