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

‘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

miningdude22

@shadow1117 could you show me this on team viewer?

miningdude22

@shadow1117 I think I started to mine… problem is now I’m mining with nsgminer and not ccminer. also its saying stratum from pool 0 requested work restart. what does that mean?

shadow1117

@miningdude22 im back home now, the restart is normal just means that a block was found and your miner shall start searching for the next one

if you want i could take a look with teamviewer

kinda off topic, but I love the way @shadow1117 is handling support ;-)
