How To Mine For Beginners??
-
Does this mean I’m mining?
-
@lcr11 yes. You are mining! You are probably well aware of that at this point! It sure feels good when you finally get it going…
-
@jimmy24651 Yes, it took awhile for the givemecoins pool to update so I was scared I didn’t get it right. The big problem was I had downloaded a completely different CCminer that didn’t have an exe file so none of the things I was reading made sense.
I managed to run some tests on the 4 cards and I can get up to about 900khs on each card overclocking at 100% power. I saw your post showing over 1,000khs on your 1070 so I’m interested to know your settings. The most stable I could get was +150clock and +800 mem on MSI Afterburner. I undervolted it down to -20% and could manage just over 6 hashes/watt as measured total system from the wall.

It highly depends on which 1070 card you have, I get 1.1mh/s with my Gigabyte GTX g1 Gaming

I’m starting to find out some of this; I’ve got different cards on the rig, the EVGA ACX 3.0 can’t handle overclocking as well as the Zotac minis and the Founders card runs about 10 degrees hotter than the others. Lesson learned, although you can just get a bad card here and there I’ll be building rigs with like cards to reduce variables. I’m thinking about going all in and building a 13 GPU split miner AMD/Nvidia

Well done.

I must be too old for this stuff!
I am trying to mine with nsgminer

Hi and welcome to the forum.
Sorry can’t check that without registering, with GMC, what are the instructions? (cut and paste the demo line) and what happens when you run the bat file?
-
stratum from pool 0 requested work restart
stratum from pool 0 requested work restart
stratum from pool 0 requested work restart
The Network difficuly has been set to 681483
stratum from pool 0 requested work restart
Accepted “long number” diff 773.423/256,004 olc 0
stratum from pool 0 requested work restart
stratum from pool 0 requested work restart
stratum from pool 0 requested work restarthiding 0 pool from us
-
Looks like you are attaching, now I need the instructions you copied / the generic example on the pool site instructions … , to check your user name format is correct etc
-
As it is longpolling you could just try removing the stratum as a first test. The pools can autoset that after connection. Try a lower intensity first as well, then build up.
nsgminer -k neoscrypt -g 1 -w 64 -I 8 -o ftc-neo.give-me-coins.com:3336 -O tfeller.GPU:1960
-
do you mean my bat file?
nsgminer -k neoscrypt -g 1 -w 64 -I 15 -o stratum+tcp://ftc-neo.give-me-coins.com:3336 -O tfeller.GPU:1960
I have a GTX 1080 gamer x card 8gigs
-
No, I mean, the instructions you are following, like here :
http://give-me-coins.com/support/neoscrypt-guide/
where it says attach to ftc-neo.give-me-coins.com:3336 not stratum
-
I am think they are on this site
I tried your suggestion with Bat file
it is connecting with this
Pool 0 is hiding block contents from us
then starts over -
yes I am following neoscrypt guide
-
You need to contact support at give me coins
-
Thank you for helping me and your time in this matter.
-
It all looks ok, you might have the name and worker format wrong. I can’t tell unless I see an example you are trying to follow.
-
Another new miner here, I think I’ve managed to get ccminer running correctly sending to an address that was generated by the wallet software that I downloaded from the feathercoin website.
Do I need to use the address generated by feathercoin software or can I use a different wallet? That said, if I can use a different FTC wallet else where, do I still need to download the wallet software from feathercoin’s website?
-
On p2pool you mine to a feathercoin address, it can be created on any wallet. It is empty untill FTC is sent to it.
With most central pools you have to register and mine to you user name and worker name, you add the address to the site as a payout address and the site pays to that address at certain amounts, or when you choose to extract.
