hello community,
newbi questions regarding mining:
(running: Windows 10, Intel core i5-4460s @ 2.90GHz, 8 GB ram)
1. got cpuminer-multi-rel1.1
2. changed config:
{
"_comment1" : "Any long-format command line argument ",
"_comment2" : "may be used in this JSON configuration file",
"api-bind" : "127.0.0.1:22447",
"url" : "127.0.0.1:22440",
"user" : "UserIsSameAsEspersConfig",
"pass" : "PassIsSameAsEspersConfig",
"algo" : "quark",
"threads" : 0,
"cpu-priority" : 0,
"cpu-affinity" : -1,
"benchmark" : false,
"debug" : false,
"protocol": false,
"quiet" : false
}
3.cpuminer-multi-rel1.1 runs without errors and shows something like:
quark block 178668, diff 91.06
CPU #3: 95.81 kH/s
CPU #2: 93.75 kH/s
CPU #0: 91.83 kH/s
CPU #1: 91.87 kH/s
Q1: is cpuminer-multi-rel1.1 really mining or just running without errors? I got zero blocks running it all night.
Q2: is kH/s in miner the same as kHash/s in Espers Wallet?
Q3: i get like 45 kHash/s in Wallet. Does cpuminer-multi-rel1.1 mine ~8x as fast? am i understanding this correctly?
Q4: Do you mine with the Espers Wallet at the same time as running the miner? Or does that produce conflicts, with the result that neither are mining?
any help would be appreciated

Hi. First off the algo is based on quark but its hmq1725. So replace quark with hmq1725 in lowercase.
And to solo mine its getting harder because of difficulty rising.
Maybe you should enable debug as a test drive to see if everything is running ok.
I was running it from a batch file. This is the command line i used cpuminer-amd -a hmq1725 -o 127.0.0.1:22440 -u username -p password -D
You can't use both miners. Wallet + miner. Only use cpuminer-multi-rel1.1 since its faster.
Good luck
