      ccminer.exe -a neoscrypt -q -o stratum+tcp://ftc-neo.give-me-coins.com:3336 -u <username.worker> -p <password>

        Hi @mr_oli

        Welcome to the forums and the community

        your “start.bat” file has to be in the same folder CCMiner.exe is in.

        make sure you also download CCminer for NeoScrypt (neoScrypt is the FTC mining algo)
        https://github.com/ghostlander/ccminer-neoscrypt/releases
        https://github.com/ghostlander/ccminer-neoscrypt/releases/download/v1.5.80-neo/ccminer-neoscrypt-win-1.5.80.zip

        inside that zip file you’ll find 4x files, 2 for 32 bit windows and 2 for 64 bit windows

        File names are like this
        ccminer32_65.exe

        the 32 is your OS (32 or 64 bit)
        the 65 or 75 is your cuda version (either 6.5 or 7.5)

        So once you extract the above zipfile to a folder on your desktop or whatever.

        place the start.bat file inside the folder you extracted the CCminer exes to

        your bat file should look like the below

        ccminer32_65.exe -a neoscrypt -q -o stratum+tcp://ftc-neo.give-me-coins.com:3336 -u <username.worker> -p <password>

        I hope this helps.

              Anyway - I tried with 6.5 and 7.5
              I clicked start.bat, some windows appear and they suddenly diappear

              My folder looks like this:

              ccminer32_65
              ccminer32_75
              ccminer64_65
              ccminer64_75
              start

              I copy your bat file, just changed username for mine and password for mine

                Hey there! - For NVIDIA I suggest this miner https://github.com/tpruvot/ccminer/releases

                And use this .bat: ccminer.exe -a neoscrypt -o POOLIP -u username -p password

                if you got any questions left, feel free to ask

                    @mr_oli did you manage to get the issues sorted out? Worth checking to see if the .exe is definitely ccminer.exe and not a cuda revision. For example, my batch file starts with something like ccminer-cuda9.exe

                        Meh…its really not that hard. I’d be willing to help with teamviewer or something along those lines…

                        I’ve done it before for other members…

                          @mr_oli I’m using 1070s, and I use the CUDA 9 x64 revision of ccminer. What have you currently got in your batch file? The string below should be good for you if you use the ccminer that I mentioned above:

                          ccminer-x64.exe -a neoscrypt -d 0,1,2,3,4,5,6 -o <pool info> -u <wallet address> -p x

                          You can replace “-d 0,1,2,3,4,5,6” with “-t 7” but doesn’t make much difference. Hopefully that helps you.

                                  Ok, I got it :)

                                  One question - whattomine shows that on 7 x 1070 8b I should have 7200-7300 kh/s but max I got 6200 kh/s
                                  Am I using correct version of ccminer or I should change my settings?

                                    @mr_oli glad to hear!
                                    I’m mining on a p2pool myself, however you’re free to use what ever you wish! Whattomine assumes a slight overclock to your cards, so you won’t get the exact hash rate without overclocking a bit

                                      @mr_oli never mind, just looked at the imgur links. Might be worth playing around with the overclocks a little more to see if you can push a better hash rate while keeping your power the same. To be fair, 900kH/s is what the majority of 1070 users get per card

                                        Is it possible to see stats online from p2pool?
                                        Is it correct bat for p2pool? ccminer-x64.exe -a neoscrypt -d 0,1,2,3,4,5,6 -o <pool info> -u <wallet address> -p x

                                        I am sorry, I am completely newbie here, how much and what should I overclock?

                                          @mr_oli you can see the expected share of the block you’ll receive, hash is a little estimated though. Check out p2pool.neoscrypt.de and click on one of the IPs in the list if you want to see how it’s broken down.
                                          But that’s exactly the right batch file for it, just replacing the pool address appropriately! No worries, we all started somewhere :)
