Hi,
I am about to upgrade my memory on the host to 32GB. I am going to build as many virtual Ubuntu's as I can run. I have an app on my windows computer that pays about $5 a week. I need more than 1 computer to make anything significant. I am also contemplating running a CPU miner on all the Ubuntu computers.
I have played around with the Ubuntu and the lowest I can get it to boot up at is 350MB of ram. Does this have anything to do with the CPU mining. Also, please post a link to a CPU miner I could download and run through Terminal.
Thank you,
Stacey

First since you asked for a terminal miner I am going to do a shameless plug of my Raptorium miner.

Running a cpu miner in a virtual machine is really not worth it even if you spin up multiple. In all cases you will see a better hashrate from running it on the Host machine because you loose hashrate from not being able to utilize CPU optimizations and from the emulation process. As for memory having more memory does not affect the hashrate but having faster memory will give you a tiny boost on Raptorium and no increase on Monero. What most CPU mining algorithms really love is a large L3 cache size. That is the primary reason AMD processors tend to do better then Intel.
