Need help with mining. Am I doing it wrong?

mattdevelop

Hi, I am trying to mine feathercoins on my lenovo laptop(I know it is weird to mine on laptop but I just want to test before setting up a expensive rig), my OS is Windows 10, and I use nsgminer v0.9.2.
here is my feathercoin.conf file

server=1
rpcuser=MYUSERNAME
rpcpassword=MYPASSWORD
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcallowip=192.168.0.2
rpcallowip=192.168.0.9
rpcallowip=192.168.0.14
rpcallowip=192.168.0.21
rpcallowip=192.168.0.17
rpcport=9337

my nsgminer.conf file looks like this

{
"disable-adl" : true,
"gpu-platform":"1"
}

I set the gpu-platform to one because I was getting errors regarding to openCL and ADL.

I run the following command in cmd

nsgminer --neoscrypt -g 1 -w 128 -I 16 --gpu-engine 1000 --gpu-memclock 1500 -o 127.0.0.1:9337 -O MYUSERNAME:MYPASSWORD

And here is what I get

Am I doing something wrong, or is this ok?

What GPU do you have in the laptop? Not all cards will mine.

Hi @AmDD , thank you for reply.
There are 2 display adapters (if I’m not mistaken they are called GPU) in laptop:

AMD Radeon R7 M265,
Intel® HD Graphics 4600

AmDD

@mattdevelop I think thats where your issue is, I dont think you can mine with either of those.

Since you are just learning here, try the CPU miner here: https://github.com/ghostlander/cpuminer-neoscrypt

The CPU will hash a lot slower but the idea is the same.

mattdevelop

@AmDD ok, I will give it a try, but I would like to know what GPU is the best for mining feathercoins, or is there any website that compares mining hardwares for neoscrypt?

AmDD

@mattdevelop We should probably get a list of hardware going for neoscrypt but at the moment I dont know of any.

I know a 7950 will hash at about 380 KH/s and a 380 might do about 400KH/s. Other than that Im not sure but would assume the 480’s would be very good and efficient. Maybe others can chime in and give their results. Might even try to form a solid list somewhere.

@AmDD Thanks a lot
