Mining

WoW.

Can somone explain how to get this installed?

522

it s just algo implementation, not miner

523

I highly doubt an amd gpu miner will be ready for launch

524

I see, well I guess im waiting then.

525

if you have rx480s or r9 nanos lying around, then of course pile it on. but if you dont, those cards are overpriced at the moment. i would wait to see what the cost benefit is after genesis to see if worthwhile.

526

Itā€™s for linux unfortunatelyā€¦ I donā€™t wont my eyes to be red again with Linux because of strange problems, broken dependencies, reading the manuals and soonā€¦ Iā€™m too old for such anā€¦ adventuresā€¦

Someone will hack it together for windows aswell is my guess.

528

Agree with you man, going to mine from a pc and hang back the first few days to see whats happening.

529

trolloniex, can I damage my cpu if its constantly using 100%?

530

If your temps are in check and you arenā€™t overclocking life expectancy is roughly the same as what it would be not doing much.

DO NOT mine on a laptop.

531

Thanks man.

Any program to view temp and what would be a safe temp please?

Yes only on a pc, not a laptop.

532

What CPU ? (20 char limit)

533

i7 4770 (hehe good idea)

534

TjMax (Tjunction Max) is 100c for the i7 4770

Anything under 65-70c is fine (depending on ambient temperature ofcourse)

535

Thanks for the info man.

536

Check HWMonitor for a temperature control.

537

Thanks man, will check that out now. :slight_smile:

538

can we install it through debian?

539

Iā€™m getting up to 90c.

Is there a way where I can use fewer threads to bring it down a touch?

540

If your using the Nicehash miner use -t 3 and if your using Rc2 use genproclimit=3

90c is scary I would get a better cooler :stuck_out_tongue:
