(Noob inside ) Help to set it up #280

Open quentin6633 opened 7 years ago

quentin6633 commented 7 years ago

Hi everyone! I'm totally new to the mining world, so can you just help me to set it up nicely.

I'm running it on my Surface Pro 4 , I know i will not be rich with this setup lol I have the i5-6300U config

So for the moment only change i made; except adding my adress; is to set it like that "cpu_threads_conf" : [ { "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : false, "affine_to_cpu" : 0 }, { "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : false, "affine_to_cpu" : 2 },],/*

I'm not sure it's the correct setting, to be honest I don't understand how to set it up correctly. For the moment I have a 69.1 H/s hashrate

Thanks!

Do you started with the auto suggestion of the miner? If not please set "cpu_threads_conf" : null, and start the miner. The miner will show you a config for you system. Remove "cpu_threads_conf" : null, with the provided config.

Hi! Yes I done the config with the suggestion at first launch :-) But i'm willing to configure it better, so that's why i'm wanting to understand better how to config it correctly ;-)

I think that's the best configuration you can get from that confg, but you can actually do other configurations too(not with this mining software).
