Title: [BOUNTY] Start To Finish Mining Setup Guide For Litecoins Or IMG
Post by: jasinlee on November 03, 2012, 10:46:01 PM
Like many other people here, I have been looking for a guide that will successfully allow me to use multiple GPUs on LTC, but ended up moving back to btc once I banged my head on my desk long enough. SO, looking for others to pledge for a bounty on a IMG with a good working copy that can be used universally. Something like cgeasy that will auto populate a batch to open and run the program with a click after you input your parameters, but for multiple gpus if you choose more than one (this should also take into account cards with 2 gpus or more). If you can get an img working on a usb even better, but not required. The IMG can be using BAMT, Linuxcoin, Ubuntu, or windows or whatever your comfortable as long as it just works. There are plenty of these floating around for bitcoins, but no one has sat down to make a good one for litecoin yet so that is my goal here. As an example, I have been trying to get 4 5970s moved over to litecoins instead, but run into all sorts of problems. If you can give the minimum system requirements to run LTC per card, IE I have seen plenty of mentions of a ratio of virtual memorty to physical required which is different than on btc. Please add feedback here as to what should be added to this and I will update the OP.

Yes that is cgeasy, which only will generate a working batch for 1 card.

Have you tried running two of the 5970's with a lot of system ram? 4+gb ?

I think you'll be fine.


Just run it stock with the shaders added and nothing else.... Just to get it running.. Once you get it running stock then start tweaking the settings.


It's definetly not turnkey easy like bitcoin mining.....
