I'm still not seeing any hashes where as the miner is pumping out at 1XXX kh/s at quad core. Any idea what I've done wrong?
Frankly, it's not worth CPU mining. Better to buy if you don't have a decent GPU. Your best bet for CPU mining would probably be X11 based coins.
Somehow, my miner is now working, seems like it goes on and off randomly... I am currently CPU mining, this is how I've set up my file:
minerd -a keccak -o stratum+tcp://365.curdozer.com:3333 -u user -p pass
How come it's not worth CPU mining when my hash rate is at 10.74 Mh/s
Work distribution and share submission consumes a lot of database (processing, storage) and network (connections, packets, bandwidth) resources.
To be efficient, pools would like to avoid tiny miners, but as you can see there are CPU workers using curdozer.com :-)
Can you describe what you mean by "goes on and off randomly"?
You can try to debug your client, it should be --debug as a param for minerd.
Just want to provide an update for everyone. I've been mining on this pool for a day and I'm really pleased with the service. Super responsive website, clean layout, and decent luck. I'd still rather have P2Pool, but with good small pools like this in service, I'll keep mining.
You should not fully trust to luck reported by MPOS, because it is based on the difficulty which varies a lot with KGW.
A better way is to check Contributor Hashrates.
