Ah I see

Ok then. So CPU mining is utterly pointless. Disappointing, but at least I'm not gonna waste my tim. Thanks for all your feedback.

Going better

I get the "yay!" message sometimes. One one example line, I have "accepted: 84/84 (100.00%), 4.99 khash/s (yay!!!)." I want to know what that means, but don't want to just ask you all these mundane questions. So instead, is there a glossary on this site (or another) you would rec...

Re: There's something wrong with my mining

Quick update... I'm getting between six and seven khashes per sec. Exciting! However, I do realize that I'm not lending much in the way of hashrate. So my question(s) to you is do you CPU mine? And if so, do you find it profitable?

Re: There's something wrong with my mining

Awesome. Thanks. I didn't know of that page. So I do the litecoinpool one separately from the prohashing one?

Re: There's something wrong with my mining

Wonderful. Thanks. OK, I tried that. The output doesn't seem any different. Still 0 khash/s. Will it improve after several minutes or something like that?

There's something wrong with my mining

Hi. I'm CPU mining because of system limitations, and finally got something going on. I'm using minerd, and in the subsequent window, I see activity. There's some activity anyway. Here's an example of that happens: [2017-08-21 21:35:33] 3 miner threads started, using 'scrypt' algorithm. [2017-08-21 ...

I finally got an error!

I've been too busy to get to my mining for several days. I definitely still need your help though. Nothing at all happens when I double click my bat file. When I right click, and run as admin, I get user acct control verification and click Yes. Then I see the command prompt open and fade away very q...

We're getting somewhere now.

Thank you. I obviously missed your last post. Not sure how I did, but it might bave been my fault. I did as you recommended, and successfully saved the file as a batch file. It is saved in the same folder to which I unzipped cpuminer-multi (from your dl link). When I click the new bat file, I do see...

batch file

I followed your directions, and have a file whose contents look like this: minerd -a scrypt -o stratum+tcp://prohashing.com:3333 CNPurvis -p "n=test a=scrypt" I saved the file, and when I double click, it just reopens the text doc. Does my pw need to be in there? I believe I already opened...

Re: New miner getting started!

Looking back over your instructions, I might have missed something. I didn't put 'https://github.com/lucasjones/cpuminer- ... -multi.zip' anywhere. Should that be at the beginning of the batch file?
