Title: Cant seem to get any of the good miners to work NOOB PLS help :)
Post by: bigfoot6696 on December 12, 2013, 08:02:42 PM
welp I mined a few coins a while back and stopped since i had a lot going on and forgot about btc  i have an ati radeon 4650 which used to be semi decent but now i guess its almost worthless i average 32.5mhs and use gui miner solo (i know hoping for a block)i want to use a miner that will at least show whats its doing as im not even sure this thing is working right  i have tried others like cgminer but i cannot get it to work as i dont think my video card can even be supported by it? i have subjected myself to now cpu mining quarks at the rate of 20 a day :P i have tried every printed up batchfile or cmd prompt that i can find but nothing but guiminer works for my btc solo mining ltc i cant get anything to work for the quarks i am using minerd. I know i don't have good equipment but its what i have and i need to make the best of it for now there is no chance of putting a penny into a miner (rl us economy drama + winter I am a carpenter:P)  but if i can make some kind of income off of this it will help. Trying to pull a good holiday out of my A-- Thanks and have a great day!  ???

Normally cgminer and every miner would work with your gpu. It isn't like your gpu is not supported or anything but even for litecoins your hashing power is to low. In any case try bfgminer if you want to mine btc/ltc anyway  :P

I can build your house from the ground up or rip your car into tiny pieces i am not a programmer lol so would i just have to amke a batch file for each cointype or would i have to install the miner multiple times?

Try an older version of cgminer.  GPU support has been removed from cgminer with the newer versions. Mining alternate coins using scrypt is a pain is the butt anyway. Good luck!

i was cpu minig with poolers program and i stumbled across a modified version called bulldozer its cgminerbased  doubled the cpu hashrate i was getting on the cpu mining can i use this with another coin or is it confined to only quark? the page i found it on is this one http://quark.freeforums.net/thread/487/quark-optimized-win64-miners-bulldozer?page=1&scrollTo=4886 it truly doubled my hashrate from 50/60 to 110/115 kh a sec, i guess what im looking for is can i use this cpu miner on other coins that have cpu mining enabled just by changing conf files or will it only work for quark  i have yet been able to get any script based gpu miner to work... so i am stuck with cpu mining. :(
