Title: GUIMiner Scrypt and stratum (LTC)
Post by: Luyso on April 06, 2013, 02:16:41 PM
Hi, I´m trying to configure GUIMiner Scrypt to mine LTC in coinotron, but I can make it work.

I have the next error log. I´m using a geforce 8600m GT. I dont know what parameters (thread concurrency, worksize, etc.)I must to use for this graphics card.

And another doubt is how to configure stratum. I read the faq of guiminer scrypt but I dont underestand it. Maybe someone can explain it step by step, like:

1- I dowload the stratum miner proxy .exe
2- I open it.
3- I put in Guiminer: Host: 127.0.0.1 and port:3334
4- Next step?


Thanks!

Doesn't look like an issue with Stratum itself. All Stratum does is create a connection to the remote server, and present an interface for your older client to connect to. If you're pointing your miner to the correct port (and it looks like you are), then that's most likely not the issue.

From a quick Google, there's a reliant thread on GitHub with similar errors. Something to do with the way OSX handles Endianness and OpenCL.

I'd caution you against mining on a MacBook anyway, those 8600M GPUs are extremely heat sensitive. I went through piles of them during Apple's free replacement program.

Ok, enough information for today  :P

Thank you for the answer, I was just experimenting with cryptocurrents... but I think I´m going to move away.  :-\ I wouldn´t want to have a one thousand dollars brick on my desktop.

Greetings.
