Some mining info:
official minerhttps://github.com/meritlabs/merit-miner/releasesA bit buggy but they are working on it
unoffical miner https://github.com/zjazz/zjazz_cuda_miner/releasesThis is the "optimized" miner allows you to leverage your CPU. I strongly recommend you use the readme and familiarize yourself with the various parameters.
Pools: http://pool.merit.mehttp://parachute.merit.mehttp://icemining.ca (I've been running here for 7+ days stable 0 downtime)
A lot of miners are using this loop:
(pool.merit.me and parachute.merit.me only)
:loop
start merit.exe --url stratum+tcp://pool.merit.me:3333 --address xxxxxx --gpu 0 --cores 0
timeout /t 1800
taskkill /f /im merit.exe
goto loop
Or for Yimp Pools you can't use the "alias" you must use the full length address. Here is an example of a bat with the optimized miner running on Yimp, with the "fastest" parameter.
zjazz.exe -a cuckoo -o stratum+tcp://eu.icemining.ca:3333 -u MUkd3GdqNCCsaHmCSAeNRnAaAGi7M4v7Xo -p c=MERIT -g 2
A few notes:
No AMD, for now. If your mining rigs have slightly upgraded CPU's such as an i3 or higher, you'll get the best bang for your buck. Big rigs 6+ card systems don't do as well as smaller ones.
