Title: Scrypt mining Post by: BTC-TK on January 17, 2014, 04:39:58 PM I am curious are there any guides on setting up scrypt mining without using pools on rented GPU servers?
Title: Re: Scrypt mining Post by: Amph on January 17, 2014, 04:42:46 PM you mean for solo mining?
Title: Re: Scrypt mining Post by: BTC-TK on January 17, 2014, 04:49:53 PM you mean for solo mining? Yes, pools really don't make sense if you're investing in some crypto in its early days.

config rpcuser= what you want rpcpassword=what you want rpcallowip=127.0.0.1 rpcport= coin port(search in the official thread) server=1 save and reload the client of your coin cgminer string -o 127.0.0.1:rpcport -u rpcuser -p rpcpassword and your vga config (example for 7950 -g2 --thread-concurrency 8192 -I 13) that's it Title: Re: Scrypt mining Post by: BTC-TK on January 17, 2014, 05:15:31 PM then, just match your config with cgminer string(desktop shortcut) config rpcuser= what you want rpcpassword=what you want rpcallowip=127.0.0.1 rpcport= coin port(search in the official thread) server=1 save and reload the client of your coin cgminer string -o 127.0.0.1:rpcport -u rpcuser -p rpcpassword and your vga config that's it Ah thanks, I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to actual mining, makes me curious how (un)effecient is -gen in comparison to cgminer?

I mean the standard (what-have-you)-qt with the -gen option running. Title: Re: Scrypt mining Post by: Amph on January 17, 2014, 05:22:16 PM don't bother, because the default qt miner use the cpu, unless you want to mine a cpu coin..

Didn't Satoshi mine like tens of millions worth of BTC using the -gen option? Title: Re: Scrypt mining Post by: Amph on January 17, 2014, 05:28:09 PM yeah, but it was at the start, now the difficulty is like 2 peta :D
Title: Re: Scrypt mining Post by: BTC-TK on January 17, 2014, 05:32:05 PM yeah, but it was at the start, now the difficulty is like 2 peta :D I will be mining altcoins from the start, no one was talking about BTC. |
