Re: Which Bitcoin mining pool would you consider being the best?
I'm not a serious miner, just hobby really.
Can someone suggest a pool considering that
1) I only have 33GH/sec and
2) I would prefer receiving small payments more often rather than waiting a long time for a chance at getting higher reward.
I'm currently on mmpool. My understanding is that it finds a block maybe 4-5 times per year, but when it does, all miners get at least a small bit of reward, and it's a relatively small pool?

Re: OFFICIAL CGMINER mining software thread for linux/win/osx/mips/arm/r-pi 4.10.0
I'm getting this error during make on raspbian:
CC cgminer-cgminer.o
gcc: error: -I/usr/include/curl: No such file or directory
Makefile:869: recipe for target 'cgminer-cgminer.o' failed
I have a /usr/include/curl/ folder which contain curl.h etc.
Any idea what could be wrong here?

Re: GekkoScience Compac BM1384 Stickminer Official Support Thread
I have one of the new 2xBM1384 miners.
Using cgminer (it appears there as one AMU GS-10008) I don't seem to be getting anything above 530Mh/s or so. I increased the Vsupply to something around 0.7V (no multimelter, just turned it clockwise but not all the way).
I've tried frequencies 200 - 350MHz, none seem to give much higher hashrate. My USB hub is only rated at 1A, I suppose the problem is I need higher current supply?
I'm mining at kano.is, although it seems this isn't the best to use with lower powered miners.

Re: [ANN]: cpuminer-opt v3.5.0, open source optimized multi-algo CPU miner
Is there a list of which of the algorithms use AVX and/or AVX2 on supported CPU's? The original post and readme say about 20 of the 40 support AVX2 but I can't find a list.
I'm mining XMR here, and I see the cryptonight algo doesn't support AVX. I assume it would be better if I mined a coin which has an algo which does take advantage of AVX instructions?

Re: Looking for USB hobby miner, efficiency doesn't matter
I think the whole point of a USB ASIC miner is to take the hard work away from the GPU (or CPU).
Unless there's a way of running separate mining jobs on both GPU and ASIC, I don't think a USB miner will damage your laptop at all, as the GPU won't even be used.
Whether a USB miner does a better job than a GPU for mining I don't know. It's certainly more customised for mining than a GPU is, and I'd imagine far more efficient.
But I don't have enough experience on this and welcome any corrections. Perhaps a GPU is still better in terms of raw hash rate.

I'm not looking to make a profit (but my electricity is flat rate so efficiency shouldn't matter).
I'm looking for a cheap USB ASIC miner (I'm in Europe so maybe 50 or so), that I can leave running connected to an old laptop or RPi as a hobby / out of interest. I don't mind what currency it mines. And yeah I know the boat is long gone in terms of making any kind of return on such a small investment.
What's a good one to pick up? Preferably as high hash rate as possible, but efficiency in terms of power consumption doesn't matter to me.
I see some on ebay for 40 - 50 euro or so, that have hashrates in the 100's of khash/sec, I get the feeling these are sellers trying to offload older ones. Any faster newer ones in a similar price range?
