Title: How to mine solo scrypt based coin using nvidia gpu in CGMINER
Post by: Dash09 on December 10, 2017, 04:05:31 PM
I have a Gtx 970 and following various tutorials i was able to configure the cgminer but now i get this error"started cgminer 3.7.2 started cgminer 3.7.2 probing for an alive pool pool 0 diff changed to 120 maximum buffer memory device 0 supports says 536870912 your script settings come to 1605632000 error -61: clCreateBuffer (padbuffer8), decrease TC or increase LG failed to init gpu thread 0, disabling device 0 restarting the gpu from the main menu will not fix this try restarting cgminer press enter to continue"
And i dont know how to solve this.Lowering thread concurrency doesnt help.I am noob to crypto mining so can any one help me with this??
Btw coin in called bearcoin and i want to solo mine.

The first question is *WHY* are you wasting a GTX 970 mining Scrypt, when Scrypt has been ASIC dominated for mining for years?

 You will NOT make any money at it, even with FREE electric the income isn't going to be enough to matter.

Cgminer is for AMD only. You can use ccminer for Scrypt with Nvidia, but like said above, Scrypt is ASIC only.
