Re: [ANN] [QRK] Quark | Super secure hashing | CPU mining
The Atoms have no power from what I have heard. No comparison between them and AMD/Intel desktop chips. Someone correct me if I am wrong.
I am currently mining with 3 atom based computers:
Atom D510 (2 cores, 4 threads, 64 bit, 1.66GHz, 13W, running Ubuntu 13.10)
Atom N550 (2 cores, 4 threads, 64 bit, 1.5GHz, 8.5W, Scientific Linux 6.4)
Atom D525 (2 cores, 4 threads, 64 bit, 1.8GHz, 13W, Scientific Linux 6.4)
With these 3 machines I am getting about 150~200 kh/s
All of them are 3~4 year-old atom processors. These machines are performing their regular tasks ans I run the miner as a low priority process on them, so, not to interfere with their main tasks.
Mining has no effect on power consumption on these machines, so, they are perfect for CPU mining.
I am considering the option of updating the board of one of these servers to the new generation Supermicro boards including the Atom C27xx processor.
Atom C2750 (8 cores, 8 threads, 64 bit, 2.4GHz, 20W).
This processor should have 5.3x the CPU power of the D525 atom, and 1.5x the power consumption
If you sent a payment and don't see any confirmations, it might be due to having no fee. I noticed my wallet doesn't have one set!
I have set a fee of 0.003 QRK. Maybe this is too low?
If you (we
) could get ~930 kh/S (= ~175 kh/s X ~5.3) I will place an order in the next few days!That is comparable to an AMD 8350 (I think), someone correct me here.
Do you think these numbers would be accurate?
Are there boards that hold multiple CPU's?
This wiki says they are dual core, not 8 core http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Atom_%28CPU%29 but they don't list the 2750???
Re. Fee - It does sound too low, I would guess .01 or so, but am waiting for a reply to my question above.
