Is anyone else mining? I'm a noob.

Am i able to mine with my CPU as well? If so is it worth it and am i able to mine with both at the same time? Last question :)

Questions are fine, we all have them.

You can, but it'll probably be hardly worth it considering the additional power draw.
 
I get this often is this normal? Stratum connection interrupted, now i have loop of retry in 30 seconds. Tried reinstall no luck. Edit: Started working now but still getting Stratum interrupted

Looks about right

Ah hell, sorry, though you were using NHM. Are you mining to the Nicehash pool though?

ok, so I'm probably clueless here. but this is what i've done.

i have created a suprnova account. and created a worker with a username password. ccminer didn't want to authenticate properly, and kept giving me this error:

[2017-06-25 21:31:37] 1 miner thread started, using 'auto' algorithm.

so i decided to try 'silentarmy' miner, getting this:

so which is better, what to look for when deciding on one?

very little Beginner's guide to Mining in a n00b thread :D

Hi,

Sorry, life was happening :)

Well, I think it's a lot easier, but I don't think better or worse.

If you're mining to another pool, have a look at that pool's website. Most, if not all, of the pools I've ever used have a space where you can check a specific miner's stats, including hash rate and estimated earnings.

What pool are you mining to, ie what URL are you using? Sorry if you've mentioned this before, responding from my phone atm but will go back and check too.
