Title: How long does it take to find a block for CPU mining
Post by: zzzzzzzz on November 05, 2013, 10:39:21 AM

I looked into several GLD pool but they are currently suspended. So I decided to try my luck on solo mining.
I downloaded the latest client and currently mining with my cpu at about 19 kHash/s
How long will it take for me to find my first block?

Well if you don't get any rejects about 45 GLD every two hours (Thats just from my mining rate calculation :D)

But I got 8 out of 11 blocks rejected so far, so I guess realistically around 45 GLD per day?

Actually I take back my stats. Out of 20 blocks only 2 were accepted. I'm mining at 330khash/s.

agreeed. compared to cgminer/bfminer , cudaminer gives me about double the kh/s

Hehe I wouldnt say double. But I had a 50-80kh/s improvement over the other miners.

Maybe joining a pool is an option now http://gld.cryptocoinmine.com or http://gld.cryptocoinmine.com

Both pools are working and more pools will open soon.

I am suprised to see so many new miners/buyers joining Goldcoin.
