[GUIDE] Mining with CPUMiner-multi

[thepitster]

CPUMiner-Multi by Wolf and Lucas Jones is one of the versions I am going to guide you through, the other is CPUMiner-Multi-Wolf-AES (the one I prefer).
Both of these are set up the same way so there is nothing you can not do for one that you can not do for the other just in my experience the CPUMiner-Multi by Wolf and Lucas Jones does not perform as good as the CPUMiner-Multi-Wolf-AES (even compared to xmr-stak which on my two 8 core CPUs only give me 234 H/s on each CPU, where the wolf-AES miner gets me 308 H/s on each CPU ... but you never know so moving along.

Once you got your copy of the CPUMiner-Multi extracted and ready to go you need to right click the start bat and edit it to fit your needs the contents are:

Code: [Select]

color 02
minerd.exe -a cryptonight --url=stratum+tcp://xmr.pool.minergate.com:45560 -u user@email.com -p x -t 2
pause
the color 02 turns the font color green instead of just plain old white you can pick a color you like, also you need to change the pool url depending on which pool you will be mining, email if you are gonna use a wallet address, pass if you have to use a real password to use specific pools (like the private ones), and threads to match your PC's core numbers.


color legend:

Code: [Select]

Sets the default console foreground and background colors.

COLOR [attr]

  attr        Specifies color attribute of console output

Color attributes are specified by TWO hex digits -- the first
corresponds to the background; the second the foreground.  Each digit
can be any of the following values:

    0 = Black       8 = Gray
    1 = Blue        9 = Light Blue
    2 = Green       A = Light Green
    3 = Aqua        B = Light Aqua
    4 = Red         C = Light Red
    5 = Purple      D = Light Purple
    6 = Yellow      E = Light Yellow
    7 = White       F = Bright White

If no argument is given, this command restores the color to what it was
when CMD.EXE started.  This value either comes from the current console
window, the /T command line switch or from the DefaultColor registry
value.@HyperionX you would probably prefer color 0A it's got that #000000 background and that #00FF00 font

and you should be ready to go Enjoy and Good Luck Mining!
