Title: MINING SETUP ASSISTANCE Post by: wealthy$ on November 20, 2014, 11:56:24 AM I am using window 8 64 bits and my hard ware is HD 7950 but my guiminer scrypt fails to run and i do not understand any other miner apart from guiminer, please assist me.
I need either scrypt guiminer that can work on my system or how to configure any other miner. Thank you all in advance.

Unless you are mining an X11 algo coin. I don't really see any profitable X11 coins either. I had a lot of faith in DRK but looks like it keeps tanking when there is good news, no less!! To summarize, you may spend a lot more on mining than what you would eventually make of it! Not worth it imo, but if you still want to then don't use GUI miner, use cgminer... may not look all that pretty but is functional and works. All you need to do is download the software install it and create a batch file or conf file with one line. Browse this forum or google "mining in cgminer" and you will find instructions on how to do this. Most mining pools also contain instructions for various mining conf files. Good luck!

I don't understand how someone can say it's not worth mining with when all the big farms use them!! So you are just one user instead of a big farm, whatever. What you will need to do though is learn how to use all the other algorithms. Forget scrypt, forget x11, but DO look for x13, x15, nist5, and all the others. Take a look at the coins being mined on Suprnova right now and you will see lots of alternative algos. http://www.suprnova.cc/ You are going to have to learn to use a new miner. It is an all-in-one in that it will do all the algos, but you WILL have to learn how to use it. It will take some reading, some time, and asking questions. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=632503.0 Come to think of it, the easiest place to get started would be NiceHash. They have the latest software versions updated frequently. https://www.nicehash.com/software/#sgminer Download sgminer, and follow the "getting started" links there. That's all I can do for you now but feel free to message me once you've done what you can there, ok? |
