Title: Only averaging 10 Mh/s Post by: rabbit127 on June 07, 2013, 02:38:54 PM Hello! Newbie here. I started with GUIminer and noticed that after several days I'm only averaging 10Mh/s.
After some reading switched to cgminer but am still averaging roughly the same. I'm using one worker right now to test things out and connecting to: http://stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 I have an NV GT 520, supports OpenCL, etc. From what I've seen in the forums, 10 Mh/s is uber slow...so what am I doing wrong? This is my gaming computer so it's rarely used and I'd like to make it a dedicated miner. Can anyone point me in the right direction to improve my speed? In particular, the questions I have are: * What address should I be connecting to for mining? * Should I be running more than one worker? * Are there any flags I should use with CGMiner? Thanks!!

Even though, Bitcoin mining now is terribly hard to benefit from on a tight budget.
Title: Re: Only averaging 10 Mh/s Post by: ovideozn on June 07, 2013, 03:08:28 PM it's normal for an Nvidia GPU... just give up unless you plan to switch to an ATI GPU, otherwise it's just not worth it (heck, it's barely worth it with an ATI GPU..)
Title: Re: Only averaging 10 Mh/s Post by: rabbit127 on June 07, 2013, 03:19:13 PM Thanks for the honesty / links folks! I suspected it was something like that when I couldn't even find my GPU on a bit list (different from what was posted here).
I normally go ATI but let the guy at the shop where I got the parts for the build talk me into an NVidia. Also, if you guys want a real laugh, after a couple of weeks of nearly 24/7 mining I have ... wait for it ... 0.0055 BTC!! A few more hundred years of this and I can take a few days off of work! Anyhow, thanks again and I'll see about getting a "real" card.
