Idle #154

idle mining works for both cpu and gpu?

UnamSanctam commented 3 years ago

Yes, although GPU mining isn't very profitable (but still possible) for Monero anymore since the algorithm switch, things like Ethereum are much more profitable to mine with GPU, https://github.com/UnamSanctam/SilentETHMiner.

thanks, but do not tell me what is more profitable to mine? eth or xmr. I understand that since the percentage of the load can be adjusted on the cpu, in theory a person can mine for more than a year. the gpu load is under 100% and this is a problem. Have you tested both options? can you advise. As I understand it, xmr is a more reliable option for the future? (sorry for english)

UnamSanctam commented 3 years ago

ETH is more profitable per computer but requires a GPU with over 4GB VRAM and new enough drivers to support CUDA 11 while XMR is less profitable per computer but has nearly no requirements to run so it's easier to spread to more computers.

GPU mining relies on the memory and memory clock to run so no core clock (GPU Usage) should be used. When it's mining at full speed it should be using around 0% GPU load but at full memory clock.

Since both my miners are compatible with each other you can run both the XMR and ETH miners at the same time without any issues.

Yes, you can use it together, but then you need a person to run 2 exe instead of 1, if only they could be combined into one file) I like how SilentETHMiner mines, but if a person conditionally plays games with a miner, he will have terrible lag? And he will most likely do something about it.

UnamSanctam commented 3 years ago

Well you can use a file binder to combine them (there are many here on GitHub). And the miner will decrease its memory clock usage while something else is using it, the only thing which could clash is if they play a game which tries to allocate the whole VRAM.

are the detection rates of different antiviruses the same on XMRminer and ETHminer?

UnamSanctam commented 3 years ago

Should be since the injectors are mostly the same code wise. The actual miners don't really get detected.
