BTC algo #426

What algo to select for BTC? Is "-a sha256d" correct?

JayDDee commented 1 month ago

Yes, but it's a waste of time to mine BTC with a CPU. It's dominated by high power ASIC miners, a CPU can't compete with that.

thank you. if I use cpuminer on multiple VMs will they add up?

I am using cpuminer-multi with binance. I see the miner is running but I do not get any errors – is there any log file? Binance does not show any active workers – even though I looks like everything is running.

Any idea what could be wrong?

/opt/cpuminer/cpuminer-multi/cpuminer -a sha256d -o stratum+tcp://bs.poolbinance.com:3333 -u worker.001 -B -p 123456

Thank you!

Do you recommend switching algo to another currency?
