Title: Can I Mine Scrypt coins? Post by: Gary1973 on May 21, 2014, 10:19:36 AM Hello everyone,
I have just started setting up cgminer to see what kind of results I could generate for SCRYPT based coins but I'm not entirely sure I can even mine then without purchasing additional computer components.. I am hoping by posting these pictures (below) someone may be able to help solve my first question - Can I even mine scrypt coins? http://i.snag.gy/94kDY.jpg http://gpuz.techpowerup.com/14/05/21/7va.png Thank you!

Thank you! You don't have a dedicated graphics card; you're trying to mine on integrated motherboard graphics, which is a bad idea. If you have a high-end CPU, and if you're not looking to spend anything, try mining CPU-only coins like Bytecoin [BCN] with your CPU. Title: Re: Can I Mine Scrypt coins?

I see, thank you for clearing it up for me, I doubt my CPU is anything 'high-end' but may invest in a GFX card at somepoint Title: Re: Can I Mine Scrypt coins?

I would advise buying a NVIDIA 750Ti and mining X11 coins like DarkCoin [DRK] Title: Re: Can I Mine Scrypt coins?

He has G41, so this is 775 socket and he couldn't have high-end cpu, just old "quad" cores. As other says, buy 750ti, scrypt is not profitable anymore >:( |
