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

@miningdude22 - there’s nothing to be sorry for, everyone starts somewhere :-)
if you can get cgminer.exe or ccminer.exe working by running it from CMD then you’re half way there.
Once you have the correct commands working inside CMD.
1 - go to your folder that contains cgminer.exe
2 - make a new .bat file (make sure the .bat file is in the same location as cgminer/ccminer.exe)eg. cgminer.exe is in c:\windows\miningdude\Desktop\cgminer\cgminer.exe
so you would put the .bat file in: c:\windows\miningdude\Desktop\cgminer\mybatfile.bat
You can name it whatever you like, in my example the .Bat file is called “mybatfile.bat”3 - open the new .bat file with notepad or another text editor and paste your commands from CMD in there.
4- save it
5 - run it.
Simples :-)
-
okay. cgminer runs. lemme just send you an image of what I’m getting…
-
Sorry I ment nsgminer
-
or use my gui ;-) if you know your pool addres, your wallet addres, the place where you extracted ccminer and just put 15 for intensity everyting is fine
-
@AcidD all cgminer is giving me “Strautum from pool 0 dectected new block”. Then “accepted a4cb89 diff 6.16k/512 GPU 0” then “network diff set to 3.01m”
And it just keep repeating that

Ok so that sounds like it’s mining. Are you mining against p2pool or a mining pool like give-me-coins ? You should be able to check the hashrate for your “worker” there as well.
-
Give me coins pool
-
Ok so you have to check your settings there, if you’re mining against Feathercoin you can sign into give-me-coins feathercoin pool and the home page should show you some stats.
can you confirm the graphics card you’re using ?
-
What do you mean against? And if it’s against, what do I do?
I have a GTX 1070 and have 3 R9 290’s coming in
-
Re: against :: It just means mining “with”
-
Can you put up some screen shots? on bucket host or something –
you can use MarkDown to display what it says (no spaces). ! [ name ] ( file url )
-
Okay will do. I can’t do it now but in 8hrs from now when I get off of work I can.
-
@miningdude22 just for curiosity what did you expect to see in the command line window?
-
@shadow1117 @AcidD @wrapper i think i am mining now… looking at “givemecoins” it shows balance stats 1.08876042 FTC. Now i set my auto pay to 500. Theres another thing on the dashboard that says “0.00 coins already paid to you” does that mean when it cashes out my 500FTC that it’ll go under and say “500 Coins already paid to you”?
-
@miningdude22 now the only thing is… How do I up the hashes? I downloaded the MSI Afterburner and saw a few over clocks but the hash rate is still the same…

Mining is about efficiency, not just total hash rate…
-
@wrapper yeah I know. Let me rephrase. My hashtags doesn’t stay steady. Goes from 700kh/s to 380kh/s and flukshuates from that high to that low. Not steady. How do I get it to be steady?
-
that is normal just look at the hashrate your miner says that should be more consistant see the blue chart in the middle
-
@shadow1117 i see that your geforce is steady in hash rate. thats what I’m referring to… mine is up and down… not steady. from 700kh/s to 350kh/s
-
@miningdude22 where are you looking in your miner or on give me coins? your miner reports the actual speed your card is mining at, give me coins on the other hand dosnt know how fast your card is they only guess by calculatig the number of shares your miner sends and the difficulty of the current round (as you see on the darker line they are almost always way off of the actual speed of the graphics card)
