I do realize that the energy cost will be more than the payout. I'm just doing it more out of curiosity than anything else. I have it running with niceness of 19 with SCHED_IDLEPRIO. With the ck patch, I don't even notice that it is running with the exception that my CPU is a little warmer and being utilized at 100%. I think I might try to also get it running on my pfSense router.<br /><br />I also sometimes use a computer to warm a room. I sometimes even clean all the dust out of it just so it'll heat the room more efficiently.tux9656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6469704299235308349.post-52685861471003737472011-06-08T13:32:30.005+10:002011-06-08T13:32:30.005+10:00Indeed CPU mining is not going to be earning you a...Indeed CPU mining is not going to be earning you any significant money.

You need a high end AMD card to really make it worthwhile.<br /><br />Also, it's untrue that their value "slowly" increases.. Their value has increased from pennies to $18 in a matter of months.<br /><br />Only 7200 bitcoins are generated globally per day, so the more people mining the fewer each person will get.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6469704299235308349.post-1616880476345609542011-06-08T08:16:50.570+10:002011-06-08T08:16:50.570+10:00Thanks!

So join a pool to generate small amounts regularly instead like deepbit. GPU mining is the only thing that generates coins at any meaningful rate these days.ckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02904761195451530213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6469704299235308349.post-12775379716876041522011-06-08T04:36:49.835+10:002011-06-08T04:36:49.835+10:00The concept behind Bitcoin is very interesting.

Thank you for posting about this. I don't think I would have found out about this for some time if you had not posted it. So far I have contributed 24 hours of CPU time on a AMD Phenom X3 8450. If this yields a payout, I'll gladly give you a bit of a donation.tux9656noreply@blogger.com
