The GPU miner costs about 100W to run, or about $0.33 cents a day.

It appears to work, yields about 150khash/second.īfgminer -S opencl:auto -o :3002 -u workername -p password I was able to run the MacMiner’s version of bgfminer by hand from the command line.I had about 4 hanging around before I figured out why my Mac was so slow even though I’d shut off all the doges. When the MacMiner GPU client crashes, the whole applications crashes but it manages to leave behind a running bfgminer process that is consuming resources somehow.In MacMiner I tried using these command line flags I found on the 6970M stats page and it still crashes.(it’s an EXC_BAD_ACCESS, KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS, on the main thread). There are some flags to tune the GPU usage settings but I have them all set to defaults. The MacMiner GPU client crashes on my iMac soon after starting to run.I wonder how the pool average is 1400? Surely no one is building Dogecoin mining rigs. According to that list very few GPUs push 1000 khash/second.

That’s about 5x what my CPUs can do a significant improvement, but not ridiculously so.

According to this litecoin site my AMD 6970M GPU should get about 210khash / second.

Temperature isn’t so bad, the fans aren’t making noise.

My Mac is using about 140W running the CPU miner, or about $1 / day at PG&Es outrageously high price for electricity.

I’m not sure, but I suspect “worker” means “single computer” in the pool, so this is a fair comparison. So my worker is about 3% of the average worker.

The pool as a whole is doing 8.2G Hash/sec with 5891 worker, or an average of 1400 khash/second for a worker.

I have 8 CPUs, so I’m doing about 45 khash/second. Each CPU (i7 at 3.4GHz) is giving me about 5.7 khash/second. It’s basically a GUI wrapper for command line tools, including bfgminer. cgminer recommends Asteroid, which hung for 1+ minutes with no UI feedback.

I tried several miners. fast-pool recommends cgminer, which is an awkward command line program and lacks the –scrypt flag they try.

The mining pool I picked is fast-coin.

(Or do: is it encrypted adequately in the backup?) Have to exclude both the “blocks” and “chainstate” directories but then don’t exclude wallet.dat from the backup! That’d be dumb. Or use an alternate client that doesn’t require the whole blockchain: maybe MultiBit maybe something from Crashplan will try to back up the Dogecoin state, including gigabytes of blockchain data.

Apparently the initial sync can be made faster by download a file separately. That is still very big, gigabytes I think. The official Dogecoin client starts by downloading the blockchain.I toyed around with running Dogecoin on my iMac.
