Title: CUDA NeoScrypt Issue
Post by: karelman on April 23, 2018, 06:50:01 PM
I have tried a few different miners for NeoScrypt just to find out I have low CUDA version. Its 5 and I have not find any miner, which supports it. I own NVIDIA GeForce 930M. It is not even available to find it in the profitability calculators, but I used this one https://www.nicehash.com/profitability-calculator#nvidia-geforce-930mx;CZK;0;1;17;0;a8=0.103;a14=2.509;a21=0.216;a22=0.0858;a23=0.0219;a24=27.364;a25=0.083;a26=1.15 (https://www.nicehash.com/profitability-calculator#nvidia-geforce-930mx;CZK;0;1;17;0;a8=0.103;a14=2.509;a21=0.216;a22=0.0858;a23=0.0219;a24=27.364;a25=0.083;a26=1.15) with GeForce 930MX and it resolved NeoScrypt to be most profitable for me. I started to like Nyx coins.

What do you suggest to me to do now? Do you know an appropriate miner? Would CPU mining be good taking into consideration I have only laptop? Shall I look for other scrypts and coins? Is there a way to up CUDA?

Thank you for any answers,
Karel

1. This is the bitcoin section, you should post this in the proper altcoin section.

2. You should never mine anything with a laptop. It is not designed to handle the heat of 24/7 100% usage and you will drastically shorten its lifespan for almost no profit.

If I remember correctly, you need to find appropriate version of miner software which supports your CUDA version (in your case that means older versions of mining software I guess). If you don't have newest CUDA version for your GPU, than I suggest you download newest. Also download newest drivers for your GPU.
Know that Laptops are not made for mining, so I guess you could expect some temperature problems (never mined with Laptop tho). Also, as far as I know no one supports laptop mining, simply because they are not made for that. Also, I doubt it will be profitable, but I guess you can try and see for your self.
