I’ve been running zcash for over a day now and my cpu load is less than 10% when I’m not doing anything else.
zcash displays: “You are mining with the tromp solver on 0 threads” “You have contributed 0.0000 Sol/s on average to the network solution rate.”
Could I have messed up my config some how? I installed zcash from the .deb file.
my hardware: Xeon E5430 Quad core 2.66ghz 12mb ram GeForce GT630 -dan
Make sure you have gen=1 rpcusername=username rpcpassword=password addnode=mainnet.z.cash equihashsolver=tromp genproclimit=8 set in your zcash.conf file. You can change the genproclimit to however many threads you want to run (for CPU mining)
gen=1 rpcusername=username rpcpassword=password addnode=mainnet.z.cash equihashsolver=tromp genproclimit=8
For some stupid reason I had it listed twice. genproclimit= genproclimit=4
I removed the first one and now all four cores are at 99%. Thanks. -dan
