There's something wrong with my mining

Hi. I'm CPU mining because of system limitations, and finally got something going on. I'm using minerd, and in the subsequent window, I see activity. There's some activity anyway. Here's an example of that happens:

[2017-08-21 21:35:33] 3 miner threads started, using 'scrypt' algorithm.
[2017-08-21 21:35:33] Binding thread 2 to cpu 2
[2017-08-21 21:35:33] Binding thread 0 to cpu 0
[2017-08-21 21:35:33] Binding thread 1 to cpu 1
[2017-08-21 21:35:35] Stratum detected new block
[2017-08-21 21:35:36] Stratum detected new block
[2017-08-21 21:35:38] thread 1: 4104 hashes, 0.00 khash/s
[2017-08-21 21:35:38] thread 0: 4104 hashes, 0.00 khash/s
[2017-08-21 21:35:39] thread 2: 4104 hashes, 0.00 khash/s

I think that the '0 khash/s' is bad, no? I'm thinking I'm kind of mining, but not actually doing anything here.

The content of the bat file is as follows:

"minerd --url stratum+tcp://prohashing.com:3333 --userpass CNPurvis:<password>

pause "

I'm a very experienced user, but this is my first foray into batch files. What's wrong with the code above?

Thank you very much.

my startline looks like this (6 cores):
minerd.exe -o stratum+tcp://prohashing.com:3333 --userpass=[user:pass] --threads=5
pause

Wonderful. Thanks.

OK, I tried that. The output doesn't seem any different. Still 0 khash/s. Will it improve after several minutes or something like that?

[2017-08-22 11:45:46] thread 1: 4104 hashes, 0.00 khash/s
[2017-08-22 11:45:46] thread 2: 4104 hashes, 0.00 khash/s
[2017-08-22 11:45:46] thread 0: 4104 hashes, 0.00 khash/s

no i inmediately had 6/7 KH/s

I think the current minimum difficulty is to high at prohashing. Try litecoinpool for a sec with your CPU.

use the same line as above but use: stratum+tcp://litecoinpool.org:3333 (userpass you have to create at signing up on litecoinpool)

Awesome. Thanks. I didn't know of that page. So I do the litecoinpool one separately from the prohashing one?

Quick update... I'm getting between six and seven khashes per sec. Exciting! However, I do realize that I'm not lending much in the way of hashrate. So my question(s) to you is do you CPU mine? And if so, do you find it profitable?

I get the "yay!" message sometimes. One one example line, I have "accepted: 84/84 (100.00%), 4.99 khash/s (yay!!!)." I want to know what that means, but don't want to just ask you all these mundane questions. So instead, is there a glossary on this site (or another) you would recommend?

"yay!!!" means only, that your share was accepted and not rejected...

Forgot CPU Mining... Little example:

If you have 10000 CPUs of your kind and let it mining , than you will earn 3-5$ a day. This mean, if you let your one CPU 24h run, you will earn 0,0003usd-0,0005usd EACH DAY.

After one year, you will earn whole stack of 11cents.



You can mining with CPU... But you have to look at github, compiling the wallet&deamon as one of the first peoples and run it solo and have muuuuuch faith, that this coin will grow... Soooo, forgot it and buy an ASIC. Or with many work an research you can earn a little with GPUs

Ok then. So CPU mining is utterly pointless. Disappointing, but at least I'm not gonna waste my tim. Thanks for all your feedback.

At CPU Mining, yes.

But mostly of early (early i mean 2013-2016, before 2013/14 i would speak about native miner ) miner started the same way, because they started with own PC, also CPU and/or GPU, and earn more experience then coins
Next step is buying an used cheap very unprofitable ASIC. Getting it working, disassembling it, assembling, modify, research for this work an learn the risks of anonymity and abstract crypto currencies, scams and frauds with then... And if you want to support the idea of cryptos, believe in it and with faith making some money, you invest as last step in an new profitable asic/fpga miner.

False way:
SWIM read in facebook, twitter, reddit something about money with cryptos, SWIM invest in an L3+ and crying in all crypto forums, that SWIM cant start the miner.


So you do it right, you have research about mining, tested it without any money investing, troubleshoted a little self and asked for your problem and you got it working. You only will waste time if you dont research more, because you are now infected by mining and it will be for ever in your mind
