Title: [PLEASE HELP] Mining scrypt - BFGminer - xubuntu
Post by: manav1112 on February 05, 2014, 06:50:28 AM
Hello,
I have gotten bfgminer to run, however it does not detect my gpu and I think it still thinks it is in SHA-256 mode. I used -S opencl:auto in my script however before running it and the 3 export commands as well. Please please help asap

If you say I should just use cgminer, then here is the problem with cgminer that I am getting: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=449696.0

you are missing one parameter --scrypt
 
so it should be like this

...
./bfgminer --scrypt -S opencl:auto -o stratum+tcp://pool.d2.cc:3335 -u ....

bfgminer by default wants to mine bitcoins, by --scrypt you will turn on scrypt mining and by -S opencl:auto you will say he should notice also GPUs (by default he ignores them).

Hope it helped  ;)
