Title: Cudaminer difficulties, please help
Post by: dantezero on December 18, 2013, 10:03:49 PM
I have been learning up on cryptocurrencies these past few days, and wanted to try out mining. I tried shortly with Litecoin using cudaminer and couldn't figure it out. Then I was trying to mine Dogecoin and got further (joined a pool, etc) but I can't get cudaminer to work. It keeps saying "http request failed" and "json_rpc_call failed"

I have altered the batch file a few different ways, and found other examples of working files and changed them with my pool address and worker info, but I keep getting this error. Is it something else possibly?

here is my batch file info, I can't find any issues, but I'm very new to all of this.

cudaminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://miner.cryptovalley.com:3333 -O workername:password

I have also tried

cudaminer.exe -i 0 -C 2 -l 32x4 -m 1 -o stratum+tcp://miner.cryptovalley.com:3333 -O user:password  (I kept the extra stuff that was there when I opened the file, and changed the other parts)

I have updated my video card drivers and that has not helped, I am using an nvidia gtx 460m.

Screw the aurguments for now

cudaminer.exe -o "stratum+tcp://miner.cryptovalley.com:3333 -u user.worker -p password

i.e.

cudaminer.exe --algo=scrypt -o stratum+tcp://daurlyo:port -u memememe.slave -p datsright

I got it figured out now I think. I used basically what I had already posted for my batch file. I'm not really sure of the reasoning behind all of the different parts of the batch file and how to better configure it, but thanks for responding and helping with examples
