Have been mining since Thursday evening:
3 servers (2 running the windows qt app & 1 the original windows cmd.exe file posted by devs), approx. 1342 computer hours & I've mined NOTHING??
CPU has been maxed out 100% since running, yet when I do getbalance, shows all zeros.
on the 2 machines running the qt, same thing.
the debug files constantly increasing in size.
does anyone have any idea why this may be? If I'm just spinning my wheels, and throwing server rental $ down the drain, I'd rather pull the plug asap.
Thanks.
um you are mining with CPUs we are well beyond that.. (ie 1 GPU can do as much work as 100 CPUs roughly) and also if you are solo mining you have to find a block in order to get coins.. which could take a very long time.
some pools were unstable due to ddos.
some like 1GH never even registered my work when I mined with 1.6 GH for an hour ... soooooooooooo never going to use them again.
EDIT: IF PEOPLE BOTHERED TO EVEN READ THE FORUMS THEY WOULD KNOW BY NOW THAT CPU MINING IS DEAD.. SO PLS SAVE YOURSELF THE TROUBLE AND STOP TRYING.You are not very bright are you...
People are cpu mining still because the first post still says GPU mining isn't out yet and there are no links to cgminer what so ever.
Q: So is it CPU only? Will I be able to use my Butterfly Labs ASIC when it arrives (... any day now...)?
A: Using Keccak as a hashing function renders current Bitcoin ASICs and the upcoming Scrypt ASICs useless on the coin. GPU parallelization of Keccak
is possible. However we do not currently have a working GPU miner.
