CPU mining - 32bit- minerd closes immediately
-
hi guys
Thanks for your help so far, there are so many informative questions answers in the forums so finally i think this plumber will finally be able to mine coins today.
Bit stuck here:
I am using my laptop to mine.
made an account in givemecoins and wallet in bittrex.
downloaded cpuminer-neoscrypt-win-2.4.3, but whenever in open 32bit minerd, it closes straight away?
Before this by mistake i downloaded the gpu version, maybe that conflicted somewhere?
Thanks

copied the file on desktop and tried cmd, this is what it says
neoscrypt cpuminerv2.4.3
engines int sse2 4 way (enabled: sse2 - 4 way)
desktop\minerd.exe: no url supplied
try minerd - help for more info -
i am reading about it, i think i need to create a bat file with url which i think is : ftc-neo.give-me-coins.com:3336, wallet - which i have from bittrex and a worker -which i made in give me coins, need to find a way to put them together now.
-
i think i need to write this in cmd?
cpuminer -a neoscrypt -o stratum+tcp://ftc-neo.give-me-coins.com:3336 -u username.worker -p worker_password
but it says system cannot find the path specified?
HELP!

Are you in the directory containing the cpuminer.exe?
Otherwise your OS may not find he executable, unless you add the path to the executable to the %PATH% variable.You can try "c:<full path to cpuminer.exe> -a neoscrypt … ’ and other paramerters

You seem to be pretty close, cpu mining on a laptop is only an exercise. It’s hard to spot anything especially wrong, keep us formed and someone might be able to help.
Sometimes the pools can help, or it is their instructions you need to follow.

I agree with wrapper, mining on a Laptop for longer times is a bad idea.
I did it with my laptop for 2 -3 hours per day and ended up with a worn out fan, which is incredible noisy now ;) -

Say I created a worker on the give-me-coins site named cpu with password x in my give-me-coins account bluebox, the command in the bat file would be:
cpuminer.exe -a neoscrypt -o stratum+tcp://ftc-neo.give-me-coins.com:3336 -u bluebox.cpu -p x
Then put the bat file in the same directory as cpuminer and launch it.
I would also not consider mining long term on a laptop, whether cpu or gpu; mobile systems just aren’t designed for the extended torture that hashing algo’s can inflict.
That said, something like Phoenixcoin (PXC) is also neoscrypt and has a much lower relative difficulty than FTC or ORB these days, and the coin payout per block is higher. If you’d like to see “coins in a bag” sooner than later, try that. Mine on https://pxc.theblocksfactory.com or http://atlas.phoenixcoin.org:10554/static/ (they both require much different bat file commands than give-me-coins!). The Phoenixcoin wallet will take quite a while to sync, perhaps a couple days, so patience is required.

Thanks for all your help, I will try this on a better machine, see how it goes. Thanks for your replies.
