Did the CPU miner ever actually work for anyone? I've left it running with 16 cores since launch and my balance is still zero. If I'm having these results how are there coins available to list on mcxnow?
The official CPU miner doesn't work with Stratum pools, only works if you're solo-mining. But with difficulty exploding, you're not going to get any blocks solo-mining easily.
1GH fixed it and now has it on their github - this works for their pool.
