I’m just getting started with mining FTC because it seems to be the best choice for CPU mining (I’ve heard LTC difficulty makes CPU mining not as profitable).Hopefully I can make something out of this. :)
[/quote]You’ve come to the right place to discuss mining, these guys blow me away with what they know in the forums.

Hi and welcome to the Feathercoin.com forums Krypto;
As a rough idea could you tell us what sort of Khash you’re getting at the moment and which client/miner you’re using to mine with? ^^ -
Well I might as well contribute as I’m mining FTC with CPU and GPU at the same time. I get around 8kh/s from CPU using 2/4 cores and only 6kh/s from GPU (I think I configured it wrong) Graphics card is nVidia GeForce GT9600 and CPU is Intel Core 2 Quad Q6700 @ 2.66GHz. Also use another laptop which gets me 5kh/s from CPU haha going to buy a new graphics card soon :)

[/quote]I’ve never used it, but are you using cudaMiner for your nVidia? I’ve heard it improves your hashrate a lot

[/quote]No I am not :/ just GUIMiner (scrypt), but might have to search that up then :D Thank you!

No problem hopefully it helps a bit with your hashrate!

[url=https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=167229.0]Cudaminer[/url] works great with scrypt mining (LTC is also scrypt). Currently running it fine on my end with a GTX 560 SE. -
Thanks for the welcome guys! :)
I’m only averaging between 1-2 kh/s (this computer’s super old) :-[
I use scryptminer GUI. It’s worked fairly well for me so far.

Maybe just how it is running. As it’s not really something you’d see on most miners. But just experiment a little.
Run a batch file. Mine looks like this
[code]cudaminer -o http://pool:port -u user.worker -p password -l 48x1[/code]
But just try your way around optimizing it in what suits your GPU the best. -

[/quote]Dude, I love you! I found a .bat for executing it (somewhere on my pc and before you posted your .bat) and I have to tell you getting a solid 23kh/s rate (previously had 6ish) and finding shares like crazy and at the same time can use my pc for like this forum without major lag! Thank you!!! And also a thank you to aysyr :)
Edit: 13kh/s as of now (after restart) I think I need to play with the setting a little ^^
-
What’s the average has rate on FTC?
-
Depends on your GPU, I’m getting 13.5kh/s with the 9600GT :D
