Re: Best CPU Mineable Coins in 2019 and CPU Mining Guides [UPDATED!]
Jaydee, if you read this, how's about releasing a version of cpuminer which runs directly off say a usb stick,
I don't mean a linux or windows version, rather a dos/machine code executable. that would run at full speed without the overheads associated with an OS (MSDos still works even on Ryzen ssds systems
)How would you like to achieve this goal ? You forgot you need internet connection for miner to work ...and to get your LAN working ( i don't even talk about Wifi cards) you need at least simple OS with drivers...
Running miner just from usb stick without OS would be tricky.
Have a look at say Symantec (NortoN) recovery stick, or UBCD stick, there are loads of "DOS" type programs out there that can run, go to the net for the latest say virus defs then do a sweep, so it is clearly possible.
