Need help setting up to mine! Would like to start tonight asap!

shadow1117

so you have your wallet recieving address

you need the coinotron stratum address (can be found in their help section)
–deleted–

stratum+tcp://coinotron.com:3337

–deleted–

and a worker

and thats all so your .bat/.cmd file should look like this:
ccminer.exe -a neoscrypt -i 15 -o stratum+tcp://coinotron.com:3337 -u Shadow1117.1 -p 1

oh and you need to setup auto payout in your settings:
–deleted–

put in something over 20 to avoid payout fees

oh lol now everyone knows my name :face_palm:

@shadow1117 opens but the windows closes fast… did I download theccminer wrong???

shadow1117

@miningdude22 write pause in the next line in the .bat file than you can see the error message

miningdude22

@shadow1117 ccminer is not recognized as an internal or external batch file

miningdude22

‘ccminer.exe’ is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file. that’s what its saying

shadow1117

@miningdude22 the .bat file is in the same folder as the miner?

miningdude22

yeah it is

shadow1117

@miningdude22 the .exe file of the miner is named ccminer?
not something like “ccminer_nosync_cuda75”

miningdude22

@shadow1117 “ccminer-neoscrypt-win-1.5.80” is the file name

shadow1117

@miningdude22 rename it or put it in the bat file as is

miningdude22

nothing. but I am close… I redownloaded the ccminer and extracted it this time and loaded the miner and started mining… but I cannot get it to mine on my stuff…

shadow1117

@miningdude22 so what is your current state? what is the command line you used to start the miner?

I can’t tell anything about cointron, but if you are using the p2pool on 46.4.0.101 point your browser to http://46.4.0.101:19327, scroll down and check the list of connected miners for the wallet address you are using for ccminer. If you can’t find it, check for a similar address and check for typos in your ccminer call.

Also you may start ccminer in debug mode and check for error messages.

I made a new file from the other “ccminer” went into the folder and went into edit mode for “neoscrypt-65”. copied that. made a new text file saved it as a batch file and loaded it then worked. so it has to be something with that. so I might try and switch to p2pool…

where did you get the “neoscrypt-65” seems weird should be more like just “neoscrypt”

miningdude22

@shadow1117 no idea. can you give me a link to a website to redownload it?

shadow1117

@miningdude22 you dont need to redownload it you seem to have the right ting but you just need to start it with the right arguments:

ccminer.exe -a neoscrypt -i 15 -o stratum+tcp://46.4.0.101:19327 -u YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS -p x

thats it

https://github.com/ghostlander/ccminer-neoscrypt/releases/download/v1.5.80-neo/ccminer-neoscrypt-win-1.5.80.zip

1 - inside here there is 1 folder
ccminer-neoscrypt-win-1.5.80

2 - inside that folder there are 4 exes…which appear to be different versions of ccminer…I dont run nVidia so I’m not 100% sure. …I assume you can run each one.

3 - copy ccminer-neoscrypt-win-1.5.80 folder to desktop

4 - open CMD

5 - navigate to (you can copy and past the below into CMD)
cd C:\Users\%Username%\Desktop\ccminer-neoscrypt-win-1.5.80\
6 - Test ccminer by running something like this (you can copy and paste the below into CMD …AFTER you change the payout address)

ccminer64_75.exe  -a neoscrypt -i 15 -o stratum+tcp://46.4.0.101:19327 -u YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS -p x

Edit:
Further to this - the 4 exes are named …the 32 and 64 at the begining is for the OS and the 75 or 65 is for the cuda version

so if you had a 64 bit version of windows with a newer graphics card that supported cuda 7.5 you’d run ccminer64_75.exe

You also have to make sure you’ve install the nVidia drivers and any other drivers needed…possibly things related to OpenCL.

I dont mine with nVidia so I cant say much more.

I hope this helps.

miningdude22

samething. ‘ccminer.exe’ is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

shadow1117

@miningdude22 you have to unpack the .zip file and rename one of the .exe files into ccminer.exe for your modern grapics card you should use one with 75
