Title: Megacoin mining
Post by: petesays on June 12, 2013, 07:04:20 AM
I can only post here, so here is where I will post.

I know everyone will say what a POS all the new alt coins are, but I try to grab a few of them just in case one might actually take off.

On to megacoin. I downloaded the file from github and installed it. Started up and synced quickly. There is no pool that is working, that I can find.

My question is, how do I GPU mine this Megacoin with CGminer. What do I connect to? What settings? Is there a tutorial for another coin that would apply to this one?

Thank you in advance.

Hi, I think you need an ATI video card for cgminer to work.

Try solo mining

what is a good hash rate and difficulty for solo mining?
I have around 10KH/s but generally i find nothing when solo mining and while pooling, payments stops after initial period.

I don't think 10 KH/s is good enough for solo mining. A single 7950 puts out 600 KH/s and people have farms of it.

Try solo mining

This is what I want to do, thus the reason I am asking for what to do to GPU mine Megacoin.

You just need a little luck and you can solo mine and come up with some blocks.

If I can get a couple blocks, I will be happy. Like I said originally, I just want to grab some of these in case they become worth something in the future.

HI,

I'm trying to mine Megacoin and downloaded the latest updated  version of the client.

I tried the older version but both also CANNOT sync to the network.

Anyone can help maybe to add extra ( addnodes ) IP address?

I try to do solo mining but the Megacoin client doesn't have mining button like Litecoin client. Any idea?

Thanks in advance.

I cannot post in the official thread, hence this is my last place to ask for help.
