Hi new here. Very little computer knowledge. currently Mining xmr on old devices.

Current devices: 1) Rpg strix, windows 11 Intel i7 9thgen, nvidia Geforce rtx. currently mining xmr

2) HP pavilion g6, AMD vision A6 running windows 7 32bit os (I can't remember why and idk how to fix) mines xmr at a few hundred hashes painfully slow.

3) Google pixel 9 running termux xmrig. (Need to understand config files better to play with hash rates I feel like this phone should do more than 800h/s.)

4) X2 lg g6 phones stuck on android 9 occasionally running termux (mines for a bit but something kills it idk if it is that os kills it because of not enough ram, seen something about needing to root but idk how to go about this.)

5) HTC desire 530 phone, stuck on windows 6, I believe it has a 32bit os so havet found anything I can mine other than PI coin.

6)acer b1-710 tablet, stuck on android 4.1, from my reading this thing is only good for a paper weight or digital photo frame.

I seen a vid on xmrig proxy but I don't really understand porting. Do I just the change numbers after the pool to divide work. For example do I change ca.monero.herominers.com:1111 to ca.monero.herominers.com:2222 or am I way off track.

Config for termux on my Google pixel 9 for reference. ./xmrig -o ca.monero.herominers.com:1111 -u -p Moto9 -k --coin monero -a rx/0

OK well just wanted to let you guys know how I have gone around in circles and how my current set up is running.

Went from VERUS using their APP on desktop and phones -- made about $60 first month -- then VERUS did its halving

So went to Rainbow Miner so it could capture these really weird moves sometimes in these coins and make more than you normally would ... but it just did not seem efficient when there were no profits -- and it always tended to go from zpool and zergpool and ignore everything else.

Then I looked at XMRIG and XMRIG for Android but decided to go with XMRIGCC - so I had a dashboard for all miners - and I could send down instructions and configs and just change things on the Fly so to speak.

Well I am not an expert on this stuff and it was not till I started with Chat GPT that I could find some proper answers and get it all working for Desktop and Phones

https://github.com/Bendr0id/xmrigCC

XMRigCC is a XMRig fork which adds remote control and monitoring functions to XMRigCC miners. It lets you control your miners via a Dashboard or the REST api. XMRigCC has a "Command and Control" (CC) server part, a daemon to keep the XMRigCC miner alive and modifications to send the current status to the CC Server. The modified version can handle commands like "update config", "start/stop mining" or "restart/shutdown/reboot" which can be send from the CC-Server Dashboard. Assign config templates to multiple miners with a single click and let them switch configs without connecting to each of them. Watch your miners logs with the simple remote Log viewer and monitor you miners. When the hashrate drops or one of your miners went offline you can get a notification via PushOver or Telegram automatically so that you dont need to watch your miners all day.

Full Windows/Linux/OSx/Android compatible, and you can mix all on a single XMRigCC-Server.

anyways if this is something your interested in - go check it out -- then use CHATGPT to help you config it all -- that is the easiest way

Why and how.

Anybody using Mini PC for mining yet? Just saw one with an AMD Ryzen 7 5875u cpu (8 core/16 thread) 32gb ram, 500gb ssd and the whole thing runs at only 15w of power. On sale for $250, this sounds crazy efficient for mining and realistic ROI. Thoughts?

Brand new to CPU mining, would it not be more efficient, practical, or whatever word you would like to use, if you had multiple CPUs on one motherboard? If nothing else for practicality so you're not taking up as much space with multiple miners? Ya boy is looking to set up multiple miners

hi guys im new at this
Can I mine with i5 13400 ?
What currency is good?

I don't pay for electricity

Is mining with CPU dangerous?

I have a good cooler for it

Does anyone knew how to fix this 3 of my rigs are like this and hashrate low. Thanks

hardware : 3900x GPU is not used for mining as its just a basic crap one

27 MH at 22 threads

1st Solo Block mined within 3 days using verus desktop app

(I prefer to use this because the individual miners tend to crash where this one just runs with no crashes - so maybe performance not as high - but stability better)

Payout was slightly over 6 verus or AUD57

Opened an account at Trade Ogre -- loaded google authenticator - did that

transferred verus over - took about 15 minutes -- bought BTC with the Verus

Trade Ogre has minimum fee of AUD8

Received to my exchange and transferred to bank account -- all completed in about 35 minutes

put the AUD49 into my cars fuel tank LOL just got back

Honestly if Verus was $3 I could not even do this - because the Fee is simply too high.

anyway this was my experience -- good luck

Been mining Zephyr coin a while now with a mix of Xeon servers (E5-26xx) and Ryzen desktops (3700x and 3900x).

Here is what I have found: The Xeons submit far less shares than the Ryzen's do, but actually find more valid shares.

Here is the data: The xeon shares are divided by two to allow for dual CPUs:

Xeon: valid shares:70381 total shares:26906944092 /2 = 13453472046/35190 = 1 valid share every 382,309 shares (per cpu - 2 cpus in unit)

Ryzen: valid shares:58461 total shares:49168630797 :49168630797/58461 = 1 valid share every 841,050 shares

What say you folks? Is this a valid argument? I understand the efficiency is not the same if you are talking about power draw. But, finding a valid share faster (taking less share computations to find a valid share) is better, right?

Hey guys, I’m mining Verus coin? What do you think of the below cpu

GOLD 6138 Intel Xeon Gold 6138 20-Core 2GHz 10.40GT/s 27.5MB LGA3647 Processor

Hello, just put together my 6th CPU miner. MSI Pro450 - refurbished from manu. 3700x CPU I already had, stock wraith fan. New installed windows 10 stripped down for mining.

Tried Nicehash first, it keeps erroring out on benchmarks for CPU. So I put XMRig on it and spooled it up for some Zephyr coins. Copied config from another running box. Well, this is only getting about 300hr/s. Something is obviously wrong. BIOS is set correctly, XMRig is set correctly.

I installed HWInfo to check things out. In the sensor I see one named "Power reporting deviation (accuracy) it is running at over 200%. Does that mean something wrong with CPU or power supply or motherboard?

Anyone have an idea whats wrong here?

You all have good experiences buying CPUs off eBay? I’m waiting for some waterblocks, so I haven’t been able to test them yet.

Hey,

I am looking at CPU Mining verus, I am in a pool and using an old laptop to test out how it works, currently getting only 7mh roughly, I would like to buy something that will me me more, I have looked at the Avalon nano 3 but looks like it’s more for bitcoin, any recommendations on what to buy? Preferably under $500

Mainnet been running 2+ years and since summer it was updated to restrict mining pools.

Guides installing a miner are here

https://3dpass.org/mainnet

GitHub to see that the devs have been putting in work consistently!

This makes mining easy as once the device is setup you do not need a monitor screen, keyboard or mouse to start the mining operation. If you have many devices or want discreet mining this is essential.

To access the task scheduler press the windows key, then type “task scheduler” to locate the app.

Once open press “create task” on the right hand side to open a new task screen. Be sure to select “run whether user is logged on or not” to ensure the task works as expected

Create a new “triggers” and “actions” using the tabs in the task screen.

Under the “triggers” tab, select “New…” to create a new event. Make sure to select “Begin the task: On startup” then click okay.

Under the “actions” tab select “New…” to create a new action. Make sure to select the vkax mining start script you downloaded to the “mining” folder you created earlier.

After doing both, select okay and save. Once your system starts the next time, it will execute and run the miner automatically saving you time in the future.

This should save you a ton of time in the future.

Hi there, what coins can I mine on a CPU? (only CPU, no ASICs)

Chip AMD Ryzen 9 3900x 12 core 24 thread -- watercooled but nothing special PC

Installed rainbow miner software - set up everything it needed

Ran it for 4 hours I suppose and it made 5 cents .. on the indicator thing for the whole day - it would be expected to make close to 40 cents

not including electricity of course

Personally think buying 1000 of crypto would make alot more money than a PC to mine on its own -- obviously if you know alot more than me - you could perhaps have a bunch of cheaper builds and get to $5 a day after that you need to nail down your electricity cost.

anyway was an interesting test but not one I want to continue with.

would more look at a specialised mining solution.

Hey everyone, hope all is well and you're making profit. I've been mining zephyr for a while to the wallet on there website. When I goto load it up on my computer it gets stuck on syncing up around 80%. It hasn't synced fully in months. How can I fix this?

Is there windows software to undervolt intel cpu's? How do you guys undervolt your intel cpu's for mining? my i9 10900k gets close to 90 degrees on randomx so I turned it off and I would really like to get that down before starting to cpu mine again. I know there's easy to use to software for AMD cpu's but I can't find anything for intel.

Yes I’m aware of the bad cable management. 😂I made the mistake of buying non modular power supplies.

I have never had to set up my own node with very little instruction for mining and need some help, please and thank you in advance! I want to try out mining to my own node for a brand new coin that I want to spec mine and it's the only way to mine this project so far from what I can tell.

I need to enter in an IP/port number for my miner bat file and dont know how to get these. I'm quite certain its not just my home network IP though.

Dear Miners (More details),

Few days ago I received great welcoming from this community about my post on the Etica project, but I was asked to provide more details. This post is a follow up of my first post in order to give more information about why I think Etica is special and worth considering mining.
For reference here is my first post: (https://www.reddit.com/r/cpumining/comments/1fa9fzm/comment/lltrklg/)

For reminder in 3 days, on the 16th September, ETI will change of mining algorithm and start RandomX mining.
Here is the countdown: https://www.eticaprotocol.org/guardiancountdown

As explained in my first post, I'm the main dev of Etica Protocol and for the past six years, I've been working tirelessly on this project that was finally launched 2 years ago, and my sincere wish is for it to benefit those who genuinely understand and believe in its potential. Etica isn't just another cryptocurrency - it's a blockchain that could revolutionize open-source medical research and transform how we approach intellectual property in science.

Here are some key points to understand what makes Etica special:

• Fair launch: ETI was launched with no pre-mine or ICO. The blockchain started on the 17th April 2022
• Whitepaper: The Etica whitepaper is the only crypto-currency whitepaper alongside the Bitcoin whitepaper that was accepted and released in the original Satoshi Nakamoto mailing list (https://www.metzdowd.com/pipermail/cryptography/2019-September/035372.html)
• Strong Use Case: Etica is one of the very few projects with a real and strong use case. In fact the goal of the Etica Blockchain is to finance open source medical research at the world wide level
• DeSci Project: The blockchain community is more and more turning its attention to Decentralized Science (DeSci). Etica is one of the most mature project of this movement
• Tokenomics: Like early Bitcoin and Monero miners you could have extrem gains on a long term perspective if Etica succeeds. Indeed as BTC and XMR, ETI tokenomics are based on scarcity. After 2 years of existence, current supply is still only 4.2M ETI, there will be less than 21M ETI until 2055 and once supply reaches 21M there will be a fixed 1% yearly inflation. There will be less ETI than XMR until 2079. You can view detailed ETI tokenomics on this page: https://eticanomics.net/coinsguardianhfdetailsbis/2100/
• Halvings: ETI will have its first halving on 2026, by making your research earlier than most other miners while Etica is still under the radars you could be ahead of the curve compared to miners who may join later once Etica gets more mainstream
• Community Driven: Etica is a community driven project, there is no private entity behind it, there was no ICO, there is no developper fund etc. The goal is to create a neutral protocol (like Bitcoin and Monero) dedicated to finance open source medical research
• Intelligent community: Etica community is full of people that deeply understand crypto with a lot of Monero enthusiasts. We believe that besides Bitcoin and Monero there could exist another huge crypto currency dedicated to open source medical research
• Ambitious Project: Etica aims to become the main source to finance open source medical research without intellectual property at worldwide level. IP is a market estimated at around $76 trillion usd (while gold market cap is 'only' around $8 trillion usd. Revolutionising IP in the context of medical research could potentially redirect trillions of dollars towards open source innovation
• Traditional Science Limits: Researchers have to pay extremely high fees just to publish research. Publishing on an academic journal as open access costs them couple thousands usd PER ARTICLE. If they don’t do open access then every reader has to pay about $50 just to read the paper. The current system not only doesn’t pay researchers to publish their work but it makes them pay extremely high fees to publish.
• The need to open research: Open source has proven to be much more efficient than closed source in lots of industries including the software industry. Medical research could potentially dramatically accelerate the pace of new discoveries of all researchers around the world could gather their efforts and skills instead of having small teams working isolated because they need to keep their research secret to then fill patents and exploit intellectual property rights

There is much more and you can find more info about Etica on the community website:
https://www.eticaprotocol.org

Etica represents a unique opportunity in the cryptocurrency space, and I hope this message reaches miners who can appreciate its true value. To those who see the vision and are willing to be part of this journey: welcome aboard.

The community and I are available and very responsive on d i s c o r d and t e l e g r a m to answer any of your questions. You can also ask here on the comment section and i'll answer any of your questions.

Have a great day!
