Title: Solo Mining Scrypt based coin is running as Mh/s?
Post by: CrimsonGT on January 05, 2014, 01:53:57 AM
To avoid having to constantly open new wallets as I change the altcoins that I am mining, I setup a Linux VPS to run the servers.
I downloaded and built HoboNickels, which seems to be running fine. However, when I connect my miner to it now, my CGMiner is running in MH/s instead of KH/s and has 100% Failure rate.

My HoboNickels.conf file on the VPS Server:

rpcuser=MyUserName
rpcpassword=MyPassword
rpcallowip=*
rpcport=9332
daemon=1
server=1
gen=0

I am very confused by this and hoping someone can chime in and provide some insight as to what is going on?

sounds like you need to add --scrypt to the startup command as cgminer defaults to the sha256d algo. also make sure you are using a version of cgminer before 3.6.6 or else it will not start

Come to think of it I probably forgot to include "--scrypt" in the command line as I have about 50 different batch files, but made that one by hand for some reason. I will double check when I get home to make sure but that is very likely the mistake, thanks so much!

Yeah simple thing. I had a similar issue. I was using config files though but very similar. :P
