I'm thinking about mining BCN on a shitty laptop. Good idea or no?
I'm mining BCN on a couple shitty laptops myself.How do you do that? I tried to do some pool mining on bcn.extremepool.org using mining_proxy and minerd, in order to avoid high memory requirements and 64Bit requirement. But I did not succeed at all. Probably also here is 64 Bit needed? What line you are using for mining-proxy? Or are you using http-protocol? I tried this but got some "16-bit-dos" error... Laptop is "Centrino Duo", OS is WinXP.
Thanks.
Not sure, my laptops just run windows 7 home premium 32bit and I just use the 32bit GUI miner from MinerGate. Since you use WinXP you won't be able to do that. So I'm really not sure, sorry.
Thanks. As you assumed, it is in fact not running on WinXP. So I tried it on the other laptop with win8. I can install and start the MinerGate-Miner v2.0, then logging in is possible without problems. But then: How to start it? Clicking on Start-button doesn´t do anything. It only says "Hashrate: not mining, Shares Difficulty: none, Confirmed Balance: updating". Do I have to wait now for some hours, or are there some settings which I missed?
Edit: It´s solved. I closed it and opened it again, then it suddenly worked. I don´t know if it´s because I closed and then opened again, or because I really needed to wait some minutes. Now I have about 20H/s...
Thanks.
Sweet, you got it to work, you're welcome
