Mining with 5xGTX1080
-
Hi, can you send me link for this actual miner?
Or beter, step by step setup, how to start it on Windows 10? Thanks. -
-
There is a guide on how to start mining already. https://forum.feathercoin.com/topic/9345/newbie-quick-start-mining-guide
The link to the ccminer is there too.
And you are right. 5 GTX 1080 should give you around 5Mh/s.
-
I dont understand this:
“Make sure you download the correct version of either one for your Operating System, as well as the correct CUDA revision if using ccminer.”Where I can choose my version of system?
Sorry for stupid question, but Im on total beginer with mining…

Hi Branox, on the start guide it links to the github site for feathercoin, but you can find the releases, which might be easier to install here: https://github.com/FeatherCoin/Feathercoin/releases
The correct version will be the one that corrisponds to your operating system, for isntance, if you have Windows you’ll want either the feathercoin-0.9.6.2-win64-setup.exe or feathercoin-0.9.6.2-win32-setup.exe depending on if your computer is 32 or 64 bit.
A bit further down the start guide says “Next, you need to download your mining program. For AMD based miners, nsgminer is recommended; and for NVidia systems, ccminer is recommended.”
This is whether or not you have an AMD or NVidia video card. The 5 GTX 1080 is NVidia so you’ll want the ccminer, which is linked in the guide.
CUDA has something to do with the NVidia drivers that I don’t totally understand, I’m a newbie to xD.
I hope this was helpful!

As for your original question, are you sure you’re not actually getting 5MH/s? In my command prompt it also says a hash rate much lower than what I’d expect, but when I check the hash rate that the node is estimating I have it’s around what I was expecting.
-
Hi, thank you for your answer but feathercoin-0.9.6.2… is not miner, it is wallet for FTC…
I need to setup ccminer on win10 x64… -
Have you tried these miners? It’s a new release https://github.com/tpruvot/ccminer/releases
You might get better results with them. You can also look into tweaking the performance of your card
-
@branox Exactly and the new ccminer is linked in that post. But Branox already posted the link. Just open it and download this version.
-
Great, that’s what I’m looking for :) . I am going to download “ccminer-x64-2.2.3-cuda9.7z”
Now one things. The pool I chose is “p2pool.neoscrypt.de” and on his site “http://46.4.0.101:19327/static/” is that:
Usage:
Cudaminer: ccminer -N 60 -i 19.5 -a neoscrypt -o stratum+tcp://46.4.0.101:19327 -u YOUR_FTC_PAYOUT_ADDRESS -p xso i have to create bat file with:
ccminer-x64.exe -N 60 -i 19.5 -a neoscrypt -o stratum+tcp://46.4.0.101:19327 -u YOUR_FTC_PAYOUT_ADDRESS -p x???
Thanks for patience with me :)
-
So I try to create bat with “ccminer-x64.exe -N 60 -i 19.5 -a neoscrypt -o stratum+tcp://46.4.0.101:19327 -u YOUR_FTC_PAYOUT_ADDRESS -p x”
and it looks like it works :). Hashpower is 4600 kH/s…
But when i look to the pool site there is that “Payout Expected” is only 0.1 FTC. So i hope that is not daily payout but only partial… :)
-
Thanks for keeping us updated. Your info will assist others. You need to run for a few days to build up stratum to get an idea what the payout is. That will vary with difficulty (number /power of other miners on network).
The P2Pool can vary, but at least the distributed pool can’t be hacked, like centralised Nicehash was …
-
@wrapper Does the p2p pool allow for you to set -d so that you can start out at a reasonable stratum?
-
many or the p2pool nodes provide adaptive difficulty to enable lower hashing miners to supply shares before the next block is found, while provide sufficient difficulty to hith hashrate miners, so these don’t need to transfer results too often.
Nevertheless you either can add a +0.xxx or +YYY at the end of your miner’s address to provide a factor the diff for that miner is multiplied with.
No spaces between miners address, the ‘+’ and the factor…You also can try to set a fixed minimum difficulty by adding a /<difficulty> at the end of the miner’s address.
I didn’t try that myself as I was mining with ~150kHash and the adaptive diff was sufficient for me. I stopped mining about a year ago, as my card is outdated and electricity here in Germany is 0.30 € per kWh, so mining can’t be profitable for me anymore

Is there Asic miner that might be able to mine FTC?
I am using s9 to mine BTC, would like to mine FTC too, but I can’t bother with GPU. -
@monkeysign said in Mining with 5xGTX1080:

-
And there lies the beauty of the FTC…
“but I can’t bother with GPU.”
You have to actually want to mine FTC. You can’t just buy a machine, and plug it in the wall. Once again, you have to actually want to mine it.
It really is a wonderful thing!

Most of your conversation on this thread is well above my level of understanding, but thank you for having it. I’m sure I have picked up a few bits of understanding from it. Hopefully it will make it easier once I start to look into the mining aspect of feathercoin.
regards

I don’t understand how my 1070’s are so much faster than most other cards I see on these forums…
