Hello and welcome :).

If you need any help getting started, check out the guide in my signature.

Welcome.

GUIminer works fine with Feathercoin, I personality don’t think there is any point in CPU mining Feathercoin anymore.
A list of pools can be found here,
[url=http://forum.feathercoin.com/index.php/topic,2902.0.html]http://forum.feathercoin.com/index.php/topic,2902.0.html[/url]
they are all easy to start with.

Welcome to the forums. ;)

i did try…but before posting here :S

I’m like you. I use windows, but I can’t get cgminer to work to save my life! Hopefully you’re able to resolve it, or someone else knows what the issue is.

This site has me wanting to build and operate a bar… just so I can accept feathercoin. lol

Hello ohioman507
Welcome to the Feathercoin community. Make yourself at home here. Even the lurkers that are not committed right at this moment will see your posts and maybe join in.
I think what we have here is a wave of the future. Anyone that knows anything about the US budget and the debt that is spiraling out of control knows that something must be done to be able to sidestep the coming carnage in the financial world as we know it.
I just read a somewhat trusted source that the pension accounts here in the US are coming under scrutiny for nationalization. Not for certain yet, but even the thought is frightening.
So, grab a few Feathercoin, start mining if you want, and get a sense of comfort knowing that something other than gold and silver should have some value. It is more difficult for someone to grab your Feathercoins than it will be for tangible assets that can easily be seen in transportation or even land, etc. Providing we make the coins secure of course.
Welcome again

Welcome. There seems to be quite a few users from Holland now. I hope to be in Amsterdam sometime next year so I hope there will be many places that accept BTC/cryptos by then.

Sweet. A lot of new users seems to share your sentiment. Remember to only invest what you can afford to lose and enjoy the cryptoride!

Glad to hear that the community keeps growing with people that have the “right spirit” so to speak :)

Invested in 2x r9 280x and a PSU for mining to start with, hopefully I’ll have a ROI mid january or so. If all feels good I’ll probably add 4 more cards just for the fun in building and administrating a complex VPN-solution (rig will be standing in my parents garage) to monitor and run the miners from basically anywhere :)

Welcome! :)

Thanks for the warm welcome!

I’ve tweaked some settings and am getting a higher hash on my mining, have traded some more BTC for FTC, and am selling off some LTC to fund an additional mining card. Maybe one day FTC will rise so much I can pay off all my student loans and have money left over! ;D ;D

Hi!
I’m just a fellow newbie like you. Thought I’d drop a welcome reply. I can’t advise you on mining. Cgminer is thwarting me everywhich way. I do know that I’ve heard its hard to mine bitcoins without ASICS (which I could not tell you what that is) these days, though litecoins and feathercoins are still options for mining. I hope you find what you need!

I’ve hear other things such as mining in pools is superior to solomining in general, but you must be careful and read up on pools. I’ve heard you need to run profitability calculators, because mining costs electricity, and that GUI cards (graphics cards) are superior to CP mining, and ASICS (where they can be used) are superior to GUI cards.

Thats about all I can offer, but I wish you the best!

Here is a link to the newbie mining guide:

Welcome make yourself at home

Welcome make yourself at home, I have. Good bunch of people here.

Sure. Is that what you were looking for?

I’m having a problem with the CPU mining program. It’s most likey an end user error. I could use a little help.

I’ve downloaded and unzipped the CPU miner "pooler-cpuminer-2.2.3 for windows 64-bit systems.
I have a feathercoin wallet. It is active and set up, I think. It’s synched.

When I click on the mining program ([i]shortcut on my desktop[/i]), the C: prompt window opens up and I see 3 lines of text

4 miner threads started, using ‘scrypt’ algorithm
HTTP request failed: couldn’t connect to host
json_rcp_call failed: retry after 30 seconds

And then it continues to retry every 30 seconds. Never connects.

Can anyone help me fix that?

Thanks in advance for any help.

:)
I have my miner running.

It is very slow so I will need to do some tweaking but at least it is working.
;)
