Hey guys,
glad to be hear. GPU mining FTC now. would like to start CPU mining too… have some extra threads i can germinate. can’t seem to find info to do it, but i did find 1 newb who asked if it could be done and the answer was yes. so if anyone could point me in the right direction… that’d be awesome.
thanks and happy mining u’all

It’s doable but isn’t really a good thing. I tried it on ryzen 7 1700, got only 50khs :P waste of power.

Thanks siriusb. i have a core i7 7700k. would like to try anyway. can u point me? tried using the same for my GPU miner, but it won’t take the port # i’m using.btw, using
cpuminer-aes-avx2 -q -a neoscrypt -o stratum+tcp://us-east.hub.miningpoolhub.com:20510 -u xxxx.xxxx -p x -t 3
x’x r my worker name
thanks

Did you try a different CPU miner? I just tested ghostlander’s NeoScrypt CPU Miner v2.4.3 on my I7 4790K on coinotron.com and I am getting about 4 KH/s per core, lol. Bat file is very simple too,minerd -a neoscrypt -o stratum+tcp://coinotron.com:3337 -O username.workername:workerpassword

thanks jjohnson. looks like the ‘miner’ isn’t so much the prob as the address and port. tyvm, will try today. appreciate

hey jj,
tried it this afternoon just like u printed above. it just blinks out. put a pause in and all it asks me for is to see ‘minerd --help’. but thanks for the try. any other suggestions? (yep i had the old minerd command in the folder where the .bat file was running)
thx

No, it’s a long story, basicallyan acc name from some friend who’s reading too much about some asdf galaxies and such… -

Sorry it took so long, rough at work these days. I went in and noticed that mining pool hub doesn’t specify stratum in the getting started section. I added stratum, made sure my worker was setup.Here is the actually bat I am using on that pool with the 2.4.3 x64 minerd:
minerd -a neoscrypt -o stratum+tcp://hub.miningpoolhub.com:20510 -O jjohnson031982.1:x

Not exactly speeds that would allow any of us an early retirement, but fun never the less testing the different builds and pushing our computers to their limits!
