@Wellenreiter I opened the command prompt, I changed the directory to where the miner is installed and copied the line. It says The system cannot find the file specified.
I also dir the folder and it shows mine.bat. Now when I open the miner, copy the pool address, hit enter in the username and password, it displays a blank black screen. If i press any key, the program turns off.
UPDATE: I managed to make it do the same as before. Same screenshots as before. Cant start GPU it says and cant find diablo.cl
Something relevant is this, but I can’t understand it.

Hi and welcome to alternative currency, see you are straight in the deep end.
-
Can you post your mine.bat file ?

There is an error/mitake with your line.
Please read each part or even each character or symbol and make sure it’s identical
nsgminer --neoscrypt -I 14 --worksize 16 -g 1 -o http://p2pool.neoscrypt.de:19327 -O 6tXAeBZzRrtXXv7WBypn29VMRTci5egbSw:xxSee below.
I hope this helps.

Alright. Done that and things changed. However, now it says "No login credentials supplied for pool 0 http://p2pool…
Should I make an account somewhere? -
@AcidD said in New kid on the block here:
Can you post what you have? What have you done and what things changed to what?
the FTC address is the password? There is no other login for p2pool.

Are you 100% it’s all identical
You need to look at this switch:
-OThe above switch is specifying a username and password. for p2pool your “username” is your wallet address that you want the mined coins to go to…and for p2pool you don’t need a password so it’s just “xx”
So section by section in the bat file, I’m going to explain each part and hopefully you’ll be able to start. If you look at my screenshot it should make sense to you…
Here is the line we are discussing:
nsgminer --neoscrypt -I 14 --worksize 16 -g 1 -o http://p2pool.neoscrypt.de:19327 -O 6tXAeBZzRrtXXv7WBypn29VMRTci5egbSw:xxFirst you start the nsgminer program by calling “nsgminer”
You then specify that you want to mine the neoscrypt algorithm with “–neoscrypt”
You then specify “intensity” with “-I 14” this is intensity 14
You then specify a “work size” with “–worksize 16”
You then specify your GPU threads with “-g 1” This means you’re going to use 1 GPU thread
You then specify your pool address with “-o URL”
You then specify your mining address and a random password that’s not needed with “-O MiningAddress:xx”
1- look at my sceenshot…look at the folder I have extracted the NSGminer software to.
2 - look at the mine.bat file I opened in notepad
3 - read bit and follow with my explanations above -
@AcidD
Alright, it seems that I had the second -O with lower case rather than capital. Now it seems connected, but still, it shows this:
-
That looks ok.
Does it report a hashrate ?
If you look at this page http://p2pool.neoscrypt.de:19327/static/ and scroll down.
You should see your wallet address and your hashrate as well as your expected PayOut.
-
I cant see my wallet in the website.
And for some reason, Khs started at about 180 and keeps decreasing. Currently at 50. Why is that?UPDATE: I just saw my wallet at the website, But hash rate is unacceptable. 20khs
-
Well the HD7770 is an old card…I dont expect a very high hashrate…altho 20 KH/s seems a bit low
if you use CMD and navigate to your Nsgminer folder and then run this:
nsgminer --helpit will give you a load of options, read each one and see if you can tweak your setup.
-
Ok thanks a lot. Hash rate moving between 80 and 100 now.
So what happens now? Will I see the mined feathercoins in the feather program? When will they show up? I want to calculate my rate of mining, as it seems that website calclutators were terribly wrong. -
So yay! you’re mining now.
Keep checking this link, look for your wallet address…it should show you your “expected payout”
http://p2pool.neoscrypt.de:19327/static/Then you just have to wait till the pool pays out and your expected payout will be transferred to your wallet address.
@Wellenreiter might be able to confirm how often the pool pays out.
Glad you got it sorted :slight_smile:

The hashrate will go up if you mine a bit longer, as the pool needs more data to calculate your hash rate. IT will be the same or minimal less, than the hash rate your miner reports… if it reports… ;)

One last step is to make sure your Feathercoin desktop wallet is fully synced.
If you look at the screenshot below of my test wallet.
You can see the big green bar at the bottom that says “5 weeks behind”
What this means is that my copy of Feathercoin is 5 weeks behind with the transaction ledger /blockchain
So if this was your machine, you’d need to let it sync untill it’s 100% upto date, then when your mined coins get sent…you’ll see them. Why?! Because your wallet is fully upto date with the blockchain :-)

The pool pays immediately when a block is found by the pool. You can see the expected time to find a block on the pools Page. It’s labled ‘time to block’
But as finding a block is a kind of luck, the real time to find a block can vary.Glad you got it sorted :slight_smile:

Thanks a lot guys.
What I noticed is that after 5 minutes of mining, the estimated coin was 0.079. However, now, 45 minutes later the estimated coin is 0.085. Which is the real rate? Is there a lag in the website?
Do you know any trustworthy profit calculator for ftc?BTW, my wallet is synching very very VERY slowly. Started from 4 years 50 weeks and after 6 hours I got 2 years 49 weeks left. And I think that the rate is decreasing.
