Hello,
I wanto to start mining XMR for a couple of weeks and see how it goes. Did some research and stumbled across so many miners (sgminer-gm, wolf miner, xmr-stack xx, claymore, ...) and pools, I got so confused that I almost gave up. I don't know which tool is deprecated, which new, which is performing better with "modern" or not-so-old hardware.
So I realized it would be better to ask someone expert to avoid wasting days of unprofitable or not optimized mining.
Could anyone suggest me the optimal miner and/or the configuration very briefly for the devices below?
I'm not completely new to mining so I need just some heads up for november 2017 tools.
(a) 1 linux servers with "
Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2690 v2 @ 3.00GHz"
there is currently
cpuminer-opt (
https://github.com/JayDDee/cpuminer-opt) at work pointing at pool "
http://minexmr.com/"
(b) 1 linux servers with "
Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1245 v5 @ 3.50GHz"
here too, there is currently
cpuminer-opt (
https://github.com/JayDDee/cpuminer-opt) at work pointing at pool "
http://minexmr.com/"
(c) 1 pc with "
Intel i5-4690" and Windows 10 64 (no GPU)
(d) 1 pc with "
Intel i5-4670" and Windows 10 64 (no GPU)
(e) 1 pc with (CPU) "
Intel i5-750 2.66GHz oc 3.20GHz" and (GPU) "
AMD R9 270X". Which miner? Are Catalyst 15.12 still a must?
Thank you.
