This is the build of the optimer/hodlminer-wolf source tree. It is compiled with the optimizations for AVX2 processors, that starts from Intel Core i7 Haswell.

This means you can run it only on Windows x64 machine with the processor that supports SSE2 and AVX2. Otherwise, you can try one of the binaries from nicehash. It has some options.

Could you compile an AVX version? Nicehash binaries have AVX support but those binaries are quite slow. There is no speed difference between AVX/AVX2 and non-AVX version.

Old Xeon processors are very fast but only supports AVX. Same with older i7s.
