There are a few CPU miners.  One is listed on the Ultracoin forum too.  However, there is one specific miner that is best and most up to date.
 
-Manual N parameters for multiple coins
-X86 and 64bit formats
-Stratum pool capable
-Scrypt optimizations for Scrypt-Jane

This is the absolute best CPU miner out there currently.  I believe it has all the needs being asked for.



Even though I'm not actively posting here;  I still hate to not help if I can. Grin

Thanks

good find, looks like they just recently added the min/max and starttime parameters.
+1 internets to you sir

This cpu miner works awesome.  I am thoroughly impressed.  I am a small miner anyway but have effectively doubled my hashing power putting this miner on 3 good cpu machines.  Ready for the n factor change anytime.  Thanks guys.
Can you post your config, and tell us what CPU you use, and your hash speed per core?


Running a Core-I7-4770 3.4 GHz 12.GB Ram
averaging about 9.9 Khash total across all cores

Found the I7 miner version works, but so does the Core2 version, so that is what I used.  I see no difference between the 2.

The settings are: minerd-x64-core2 -o stratum+tcp://pickaxe.pool.pm:3306 -u xxxxxxxxx -p xxxxxx -a scrypt-chacha --nfmin 4 --nfmax 30 --starttime 1388361600

The key is each setting name is different than the ultracoin miner, eg. no --sj- and --time is --starttime

Cheers.
I'm using an AMD 965 Black Edition and I am only getting 1.4 kh/s total....... 8gb system ram. Why does mine seem so underwhelming?

Are you using the AMD version?

Yes, the Athlonfx one. I have however, tried every single one and this one works best. It DOES submit shares, VERY slowly. One thing I did notice is on the workers page, the difficulty for video card is at 19.37, however my CPUs difficulty is 64?

That may adjust over time.  Higher difficulty shares are rated more than lower difficulty shares.  You may have to let it run for a while to see some averaged out figures. Are you running the video card and the CPU miner on the same machine?  If so, you may need to tell the CPU miner to use one less core (-t option) or you could see a significant drop on what your video card produces.
