Title: CGminer doesn't work, rapidly repeats my code line and doesnt go anywhere
Post by: MartinMiner on January 31, 2014, 06:37:50 AM
Hi, I've been mining with an nvidia gtx 770 using cudaminer, and then I replaced that card with an Amd 6950. I followed the instructions all correctly (i think...), put in the correct line of code in the .txt file, and when I run it the command line window spazzes out, only printing what I had written in the .txt file many times over and over again. It doesn't do anything else.

Here is what I wrote in the txt file:

cgminer --scrypt -o http://fast-pool.com:3333 -u [my username] -p [my password]


I don't know if this matters, but the version of CGminer that I downloaded was 3.7.2.


Help please?
Thanks

The file looks fine. You didn't name it 'cgminer.bat' did you because that could explain it, it's running the batchfile instead of cgminer.exe

I did name it CGminer.bat... does it matter that the CG is capitalized? (instead of cgminer)

Actually I just tried ^ that out, no difference. Still spazzes out.
