Title: novice needs advice, weak pc, low hashrate
Post by: Alan Ford on September 13, 2014, 07:24:37 PM
PC : C2D 2,7GHz, 2GB RAM, GF210 512G ; cgminer v4.5.0 ; multipool.us (Share Diff = 64) ; router i firewall set ;

mp.bat:
cgminer --config mp.conf -o stratum+tcp://eu.multipool.us:8888 -u user.id -p password

mp.conf :
{
"pools" : [
{
"url" : "stratum+tcp://eu.multipool.us:8888",
"user" : "user.id",
"pass" : "password"
}
],
"scrypt" : true,
"kernel-path" : "/usr/local/bin"
}

User and pass are the same as ones you for multipool.us.
cgminer run bat file, pick up the configuration of mp.conf, display : No devices detected network diff set to 27,4G

With cudaminer I have 4,5 khash/s, but never happend on main page multipool.us, worker id list is empty, and after couple days i did not get anything for "work".

I now interested in the proper setting and what hashrate I may expected, actually what amount of btc. Price of electricity and hardware is zero.
Thanks in advance!

With 4.5KH/s your not going to make much,

according to coinwarz.com youll get 1 satoshi an hour.

I've just got started and in a week I've almost hit 0.001BTC.

I'll give you some tips, sign up to cex.io (https://cex.io/r/0/Luxray/0/) 0% pool fee

Go into multi pool on ghash.io (associated with cex.io) and convert it to LTC

I cpu mine this with minerD my hash rate is 1-20KH/s use that LTC to buy GH/s on cex.io and that will mine BTC,NMC,DVC and IXE without you even doing anything.

I have a U1 antminer which does 1.6gh/s-2.2Gh/s to improve my Cloud/BTC hash rate. im currently at 4.2GH/s

Also make use of faucets and use land of bit coin here >landofbitcoin (https://www.landofbitcoin.com/?r=bGyg50jmWqsG6U3L) i got 50k satoshi in around 3 hours

it says no devices found as its looking for ASIC miners

for a .bat file i never used the ''--config'' command, just erase it and see what's happening.

With the setup you have, you're better to get a better GPU or you can get some ASICs or hashlets from Gawminers (http://gawminers.go2cloud.org/SHKc).

The other option is to buy BTC directly. With the hashrate it will give you, it won't be profitable.

CGMiner doesn't use GPU's nor does it mine altcoins.  Your trying to use the wrong software and your in the Bitcoin forum not the alt coin forum.

if he try to run cgminer 3.7.1 he's supposed to be able to mine with his GPU.

Im guessing your referring to me about alt coins?, I only brought it up as its a way to get cloud GH/s used for Bitcoin mining which the category is about.

But he's using 4.50 which does not support GPU's nor altcoins.  Still the wrong forum too.

No, the OP is mining alt coins hence the ""scrypt" : true," flag in his conf file.

Uh, no bad on you.  Your suggestion is of course correct and helpful. :)
