creepMiner - C++ Burst Miner (based on Uray's Miner)

@scprv55 I will add it soon (Ubuntu 64 bit).

Thank you Creepsky!
Can I ask another question, I'm CPU mining with an i7 and 3 drives (2 internal) 1 external (usb2).
I have forged 2 blocks in just over 2 weeks but most of my deadlines are being found at 20+ days or longer.
Would faster drives help or am I going to need a GPU?
Does CreepMiner use the GPU automatically? or is there a setting I missed?
Cheers!

@scprv55 To forge more blocks you need more capacity - ie more drives.
-
Thanks Haitch, I'm going to buy a new drive (maybe today), but I'm trying to figure out if it is just drive capacity that I'm lacking or if its also a speed thing.
Should I get a USB 3 port upgrade or is USB2 enough?
Should I not bother with external drive (USB2 is all my PC has) and instead hook them up using Sata 2
Is it worth upgrading my motherboard to one that has SATA 3?
Appreciate everyone's help!

@scprv55 How long does it take you to mine all the drives? USB3 is more desirable than USB2, but if it's what you have - it's what you have.
My latest rig has SATA2, for 20 drives. it's not as fast as I'd like, but it's fast enough.

@scprv55 You're reading them all in less than 5 seconds, mine take around 60 seconds. You cpu/gpu is not your bottleneck, just continue to add capacity.
-
Thanks Haitch, that clears things up.
Basically I didn't want to spend on drives if there was something else I could do to speed things up first.
Better go out this afternoon and buy myself at least 4TB of extra space.

@scprv55 When you mining time goes over 60 seconds, consider looking at better mining processing power.
