I can neither deny or confirm this which could be because ...


  • Our servers are running AMD CPUs
  • The pool server has so much spare computing power that its basically twiddling thumbs all the time ...

we need to push it to see . where I live I don't anyone who mines , in fact everyone I talk to looks at me like I'm speaking a foreign language when I talk about it . most think it's some kind of a scam, lol , if they only knew  




 

I got the same looks when I talk to other people... it's sad =(
