Title: cgminer says I have 270 Mh/s is this accurate? Post by: jae480 on April 10, 2013, 05:45:39 AM Hey guys I was hoping you could help me. So I have cgminer 2.11.4 and I'm mining litecoins right. The thing is that cgminer says I have 270 Mh/s and my Sapphire Radeon HD 6870 was only supposed to get about 320 Kh/s.
Is there something wrong with cgminer or am I really getting 270 Mh/s. Also how many litecoins does this translate too? Title: Re: cgminer says I have 270 Mh/s is this accurate?

If you want to compare this page is pretty good: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison Title: Re: cgminer says I have 270 Mh/s is this accurate?

If its Kilohashes I only get about 40 LTC or $200 and if its Megahashes I get a heck of a lot more litecoins. So I don't know which one it is.

Bitcions can mine in Mhash/s this is due to enscryption difficulty Title: Re: cgminer says I have 270 Mh/s is this accurate?

You might break even mining bitcoins with the cost of electricity, at USD:BTC exchange rate of ~$200:1. Sorry, it's just the math. Title: Re: cgminer says I have 270 Mh/s is this accurate?

Post by: Covux on April 10, 2013, 06:51:09 AM if you want to know what is most profitable you need to look at how much bit coins you can mine in time X and how much litecions in time X
multiply that by the worth of the coin and you have a good indication which coin earns the most. if you have free electricity then you could skip the cost side of the balance Title: Re: cgminer says I have 270 Mh/s is this accurate?

You need to tell cgminer the --scrypt options You are now mining BTC on the LTC shares. Not gonna work. Title: Re: cgminer says I have 270 Mh/s is this accurate?

I'm sorry I'm a complete noob. I have CGMiner2.11.4 and I open up cgminer by Clicking on the cgminer application. Title: Re: cgminer says I have 270 Mh/s is this accurate?
