Hi, ASIC USBblock erupter is good?

Speeder

Hi,

I’m new on this forum. I want to know if a Block erupter like this one is good for mining Feather coin:

This one is a little bit expensive, i read on another forum there is same block erupter for lower price, is it right?

I’m mining with Cgminer with my 6950 2 Go.
This is not very quick :D only 320kh/s

Thanks you

Currently, ASIC boards are only compatible with SHA-256 hashes, whereas Feathercoin uses Scrypt. So, no.

Thanks,
Is there something like the block erupter?

Wellenreiter

No, there are no working block erupter available for scrypt based coins.

regarding your 6950, you should follow the readme.scrypt document on cgminer/bfgminer on Github to the letter.

My 6950 is running at stable 450 Khash/s and consumes ~ 210W.

I started like you with around 300 KHash/s, then followed the steps described in the readme and undervolted the card to 1.05V to save some power.

Thanks you !

Hi Speeder, welcome to Feathercoin.

This is the introduction area. Can you post in the correct area, in this case off topic or mining.
