Title: How to mine scypt currencies with cgminer ?
Post by: Kazhamania on November 16, 2013, 05:09:03 PM
Hi everyone,

I would like to mine in a pool some scrypt currencies (LTC for exemple).

But when I set a bat file cgminer ever close after 0.0005 sec,  I d'ont understand why.

This is my bat file :

Code:
cgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://stratum2.wemineltc.com:3334 -u Kazhamania.1 -p x

Any help ?

stratum+tcp://stratum2.wemineltc.com:3335

If it closes right away, still, try a different version of cgminer. Auto close usually means an error in .bat or cgminer.conf

Tried previous version, doesn't work too.

I haven't any cgminer.conf file !

Have you tried to make a .bat file? It makes it much easier. Ah, you did.

You should have filled in the correct path if you do. For example, mine to mine DGC:

Code:
[u]E:\Programs\CGminer\cgminer-2.11.4-windows\[/u]cgminer --scrypt --url http://cryptopools.com:3333 -u Don007.1 -p x --thread-concurrency 21712 -I 18 -g 1 -w 256 --temp-target 76 --gpu-fan 25-80,65 --auto-fan --temp-overheat 82


The underlined part is probably different. See where your CGminer map is.


EDIT: I see you forgot the "--url"

Still closing when clickin on.

I think I'll give up, I try since 2 days to configure a miner for scrypt currencys.

GUI Miner script Alpha is the only on that I can launch but he is freezing and never generated 1 share ...

Crazy ...

Locked on SHA so ...

Try mine.

The only thing you have to change is the path you have your CGminer installed in.

It's working 100% correct with this commandline.  Otherwise, there might be some problem with your graphics card. What are you using?

Scrypt support for cgminer was deprecated a few versions ago. There is no ongoing support for old versions that supported it either.
