![]() The pool is trying to guess your hashrate on every previous workjob, keep it stable and both sides will be happy. A laggy connection and unstable hashrate will produce more boo's. ![]() There's a lot of factors, but if you have awesome network connection and an epicly stable GPU, you probably will never see a 'boo' unless the pool itself f'd up. 'boo' means you mined the wrong block and/or sidestepped the pool itself (workjob slipped a block#), both are uncommon but do happen because of the block's target time of 40 seconds per block. Q: I'm in a pool, wtf does 'yes!' and 'booo' mean?Ī: In ccminer (pretty common for most because it was in the tutorial), 'yes!' means you worked hard enough to be accepted for a shared payout of a mined block which you probably didn't discover yourself but another has. This would be an awesome learning experience for pi mining if you can afford a simple $40 kit. Any less, and a rasp pi 3B will beat it at $40 a pop for a kit or ~$26 per cluster unit. If you can get 0.5 kH/ws or more then you're doing just fine in my opinion. Yet if I used my 4 rasp Pis they would sip a fraction of the power and mine much slower, but with kH/ws comparable to a GT 740. The good risers do not carry the power lines from the slot and are powered via 4-pin molex (non-sata) with both on-board capacitors and voltage regulators, basically a mini DC-DC PSU.Ī: Depends on the CPU, I'm mining with a 1950X and it's horribly inefficient but has a massive hashrate of a potato video card. Line-extension-only risers are usually rated under the 75W to save money, the same with some USB-like ones, fires occurred for both. connect them directly to the slot, or get a power rated/regulated riser. Make sure your card does not use full loaded (75W) power from the slot when using line-extension-only risers, it's both a dangerous hazard and a performance killer. PCIe risers, flex cables in particular, have some latency (barely noticeable on small scale) and power regulation issues (very noticeable), even if your card gets power from the 6/8 pin connector, it still in some cases get partial (or max) power from the slot itself. Make sure your GPU has adequate cooling so it doesn't throttle itself. Windows & Mac both have a lot of CPU overhead, I recommend running a headless (no GUI, only SSH/shell) Linux if you don't have a decent CPU. ![]() If your CPU is 100% when GPU mining, get a better CPU. I recommend anything that's in the range of having decent 4 cores (and/or threads) i3-6300, i5-4000, or i7-800 (1st gen). Scrypt-n (the algorithm used by Garlicoin) is partially CPU dependent, a good CPU is needed for the GPU to not be choked. Q: I'm GPU mining with a high-end card (780, 970/980, 1060-1080) but my hashrate is garbage compared to others.Ī: This may be many factors. ![]() Anything over 1 kH/Ws and you're doing fine this early on. Divide your kH/s by that wattage, and you'll get the kH/ws (technically kH/joule, but not important). Easy math is to take your graphics card's TDP (in wattage) to get near its real power consumption at 100% load, or get the actual power consumption measured by a tester or charted by a reputable reviewer. There's no session state to take care of.Many people are newbies to mining in general, and when they have everything up and running, there's some misunderstandings.Ī: Difficult question, but do not pick the most popular one, we want a diversified hash power to prevent a 51% majority, so pick the second popular one or use a guide.Ī: Right now high-range cards from 2013, mid-range cards from 2014, high-range on-board graphics from 2015, and integrated graphics from this year are not crappy at all, go nuts. Nice -n $/yam -c x -M stratum+tcp://$ that you can simply stop YAM or your wrapper script with Control+ C. That could look like this (using pool for example): #!/bin/sh You can then either start the yam utility directly from a Terminal, or make a wrapper script. Transfer this directory to /opt or another location of your choice. Then, the yam utility is in a subdirectory macos64-haswell. Then unzip the appropriate archive concerning your platform, e.g.: yam-yvg1900-M8a-macos64-haswell.tgz. tgz files in the browser with a ★ and click Download as ZIP. Lookup your Apple computer, the architecture should be noted in the Processor Details section. If you don't know what CPU architecture your specific Apple computer has, check out the website. MacBook Pro (late 2013) is Haswell architecture, so select yam-yvg1900-M8a-macos64-haswell.tgz.Mac mini (late 2009) is Core2 architecture, so select yam-yvg1900-M8a-macos64-core2.tgz.Either use Chrome or Firefox (or Tor Browser) instead.īinaries are OS and CPU architecture specific. Note that that website doesn't support Safari properly. I have been using YAM CPU miner for some time.
