my CGminer repeats "stratum from pool 0 detected new block",what does it mean?or what should I do now?http://

Perfectly normal, there are new blocks being generated in bitcoin world all the time. Do nothing.

But it already takes about 90 minutes, just "stratum from pool 0 detected new block"
...

It's an information thing, it's not a warning, it's not an error.  It's just telling you that the pool you're connected to has finished one block and moving to the next block.

AND it show nothing in pool's dashboard, can anybody tell me what's the  problem?

It sounds like you don't actually have any bitcoin mining hardware. A computer by itself does not mine bitcoin.

What type of hardware do you have? Fill in the blanks.




Cpu:
Gpu (Graphics Card):
Ram:
Operating System:
Storage:

If you tell us that, we can tell you where the mistake is, and chances are that the above post is correct as it seems that you are maybe only cpu mining, if that.

Same issues, here is my setup

AMD Phenom II
Radeon HD 5570
8GB
Windows 7
500 GB free

Let me translate CK's thought: you need an ASIC miner for Bitcoin mining with the current version of cgminer.

If you want to GPU mine scrypt coins, you'll need an older version up to 3.7.x and to turn a few pages back and read this thread ;)

Probably wrong thread anyway, but found an issue with my script... thanks! ;)

Hello,

Here are my specs:

Cpu: Phenom II X965 BE
Gpu (Graphics Card): Radeon HD 7870
Ram: 8 GB DDR II
Operating System: Win7 ultimate x64
Storage: 265 SSD + 1 TB HDD

Thanks for your help so far!!

No it doesn't look right. What commands are you using to start cgminer?

I have a .bat file wich starts cgminer.

take a look:

I didnt do any other configs.

You are trying to mine scrypt, you need to add --scrypt to make it work

okay, thank you. Where do I need to add >>--scrypt<< ? Just at the end?

After the password entry, all the parameters and options are in the cgminer readme if you get stuck.

I added it at the end. Now in my dashboard I have the Hash's shown.

But its very slow, isnt it?

You put scrypt after cgminer

You got a 7870, that might be normal.

Increase your intensity to 16

Press 'G' 'I' and follow the rest of the prompts

Yeah, that helped pretty good.
I changed the intensity in the cgminer.conf to 16 instead of "d" and the Hashrate raise up to 300 khs.
After changing, the computer was very laggy, but it worked.

Are there other options too raise the hashrate and maybe stabilize the system?

thanks so far

If you increase the intensity, it will just make your computer lag, despite having a higher hashrate.
By the way, SHA-256 hashrate is not the same as scrypt hashrate, so even if you had 350M on SHA-256, that does not mean you will get the same on scrypt.

There are only three cgminer parameters that really affect scrypt performance --thread-concurrency --gpu-memclock and --gpu-engine have a read through the Overclocking section in the GPU-README that is in the download of CGMINER because there are plenty of other things to think about such as cooling.

my miner keeps trying to mine bitcoin, even though ive added --scrypt- can anyone help?!?!?!?!?!

It is not "--scrypt-", it is "--scrypt".
