Title: Which mining software works for pools? Post by: TheSmo on December 17, 2013, 12:05:40 PM Hi all,
I run some Windows 8 and 7 machines where I want to run some mining software. I want to test several pools and several coins. My questions: I don't understand why i get some results on some settings and sometimes it doesn't work: Example that's not running: the pool site says: Quote If you use a command-line miner, type: I try to run cgminer-3.8.4-windows./cgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://doge.cryptovalley.com:3333 -u Weblogin.Worker -p Worker password with Quote cgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://doge.cryptovalley.com:3333 -u MyNick.1 -p MyWorkerPW miner stops because it doesn't understand "--scrypt"With old mining software, I got it running: CGMiner 2.10.4 Quote cgminer -o stratum+tcp://nl1.ghash.io:3334 -u MyNick.1 -p MyWorkerPW I have access to Windows 7 and 8 machines, i5 CPUs, NVidia graphic cards (yes, i know they are slower than AMD), but I will not buy hardware before I understand how to get it running. Anyone can help me understand what miner software I should use? Title: Re: Which mining software works for pools?

Moving forward CGMiner only supports ASIC's and Bitcoin. Title: Re: Which mining software works for pools? Post by: TheSmo on December 17, 2013, 12:37:39 PM Ah, ok, that explains a lot :).
What other mining software should I sue? Or should I stick with the cgminer you mentioned? Title: Re: Which mining software works for pools?

I've only used Ufasoft, 3 years ago when I first started, and CGminer. I have only mined Bitcoin, so I know nothing about alt's. So I would probably use CGMiner 3.7.2 or earlier. Also the scrypt/GPU development has been taken over by others, from what I understand. |
