Hi goldbit and welcome.
I’ve noticed that you posted your current mining rig in contest forum (https://forum.feathercoin.com/index.php?topic=1392.new;topicseen#new). As expected - your mining power is quite low because of older nVidia card. We appreciate the enthusiasm, and in order to help you, I recommend that you use cudaminer (for nVidia GPUs) - it should give you some extra hashes! Also, there seems to be some difference depending on the OS you are using:
[quote]XP with a 9600 GT: 20-24khps
Win7 64 on exactly the same system with the same launch configuration: 11khps - Aero or not. Autotune makes it worse - 8khps.[/quote]
You can get more information and download links here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=167229.0.
Since you are mining on a pool with stratum - you will need to install stratum proxy aswell. This is explained quite well here: https://mining.bitcoin.cz/mining-proxy-howto. You can download the proxy files there, but be warned - their client is preconfigured for their pool - meaning, you will have to run it with some extra options. Just open the command prompt in folder where you have put the files and start mining proxy with something like this (just change server, port and other information…):
[i]mining_proxy.exe -o coinotron.com -p 3337[/i]
Then, you need to open another command prompt, go to folder where you put the cudaminer.exe and start it with something like this (again, use your own user information):
[i]cudaminer.exe -o http://localhost:8332 -O YourWorkerName:YourWorkerPassword[/i]
I know I haven’t explained everything in best possible way, but I trust that you will figure out some things by yourself :) These are just basic options, others are explained in the links I gave you above. You just need to play around and see what gives you the best results.
If you need any other assistance for configuration, feel free to ask.

Thank you very much. I will give it a try again. My first go around with cudaminer gave some error messages i was unable to figure out. But i have a better understanding now of how the miners work so maybe i can get it to work. I am still in tweaking mode on cgminer, i just get tons of shares below target and tons of discarded work from new blocks, so i could in theory raise those numbers up alittle more. Thanks again for your help and information.
