I'm only getting 13 kh/s using minerd with intel i5 and the lowfeemining.org pool. Shouldn't I be getting a better hashrate?
Isracoin: What hashrate should I be getting with intel core i5?

Assuming that IsraCoin uses the Scrypt-Hashing algorithm as suggested in the comments on the question, I found this hardware overview table on Litecoin (which also uses Scrypt).
The table lists a number of Intel Core i5 processors ranging in hashrate from 12 to 55 kHash/s.
I.e. depending on what processor you have exactly and whether IsraCoin uses the same hashing scheme as LiteCoin, it is within the expected performance.
2That's another good point you've raised - "Intel core i5" is not a processor model, it's a brand that spans 4 generations and several performance brackets in each. It's impossible to answer the original question without knowing the particular model. – Meni Rosenfeld – 2014-05-19T13:16:21.183

Hash Rate for any coin depends on these parameters like
- Coin Algorithm (Scrypt/SHA256d/x11)
- Fork Coin ( Like forked from
- litecoin/bitcoin) Coin is CPU/GPU based mining
- Better Stratum Connection b/w your hardware(system) and Mining Pool
- Network Bandwidth.

SHA-256 and scrypt mining are completely different. Isracoin is based on scrypt. What are you comparing your hashrate to? – Greg Hewgill – 2014-05-19T01:39:57.713
I tried quark first and was getting closer to 200 kh/s. – Benjamin – 2014-05-19T01:54:58.400
1You can't compare numbers like that. – user13413 – 2014-05-19T05:14:03.770
That's what I figured. I don't really have anything to compare to. That's why I asked here. – Benjamin – 2014-05-19T07:16:22.950
1This number seems right to me based on my limited knowledge. However, you should know that Isracoin is a fork of the more popular Dogecoin and AFAIK uses the same hash function, so you might have better luck asking about that. (And, I also believe Dogecoinn uses the same hash function as the even more popular Litecoin). – Meni Rosenfeld – 2014-05-19T09:40:02.703
1"i5" is a very big family. Exactly what processor, speed, and number of cores are you using? – Tim S. – 2014-05-19T13:49:17.300
