How to mine?
Posted: Fri Jun 10, 2011 9:20 pm
Hello,
I spent the evening trying to explore everything myself and using search. And still there are questions.
1. My computer
ATI Radeon HD 3300 Graphics
AMD Phenom II X4 3.00 GHz
Windows 7
What miner is best for me? Is it better to mine using CPU or GPU?
2. I've already tried this: http://ufasoft.com/open/bitcoin/
First, do I need to click bitcoin-miner.exe? It just blinks and disappears.
I entered this:
bitcoin-miner.exe -o http://bitparking.com:9098 -u {{my address}} -p {{pass as in bitcoin.conf}} -t 8 -a 5
It says 8 threads Using SSE 2
0 MHash/s
And I see or hear nothing more.
What is "-o","-t" and "-a"?
Maybe there's smth else I need to do?
Can someone give step-by-step instructions for people, who are brave enough to use command line and try to understand commands, but not the geeks who would say: "-o -t 8 -a 5 threadsMHash/s? ОК, piece of cake!"
Maybe some good link, I couldn't find myself.
Thank you!
