Bitcoin / Mining support / using cgminer behind a proxy network.

on: November 18, 2013, 09:54:02 AM

Hi, My internet uses a proxy provided by ISA Server. it also uses a login and password to connect to proxy, to connec to the internet. proxy is 192.168.3.1 and port 8080. problem is it cannot connect to http proxy without a username and password. but cgminer doesnt have any option to enter proxy username password hence it cannot connect to internet. Any help is much appreciated

Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: which coin should I mine on a low-end gpu?

Quote from: JL0z on November 18, 2013, 07:54:19 AM awais3344, If you are able to hash with a gpu on scrypt at 300kH/s - this is medium performance GPU much like a 5850 - I have one of these working at about 321kH/s. Have a look at the network hash rate for the scrypt coins - choose one that has a low network hash rate, then you will probably join a pool to try mining for a coin. It really doesn't matter which coin, but basically with mining, your electricity costs are likely to outweigh the mining returns. Alternatively you can choose a new coin and get started at the early stages before a lot of people start mining. If you are looking for a coin that you could solo mine - you could look at PeopleCoin - the only problem is selling them - they are not worth much, and are only listed on the BtcLtc exchange where you can sell them for Chinese Yuan - I did this for a while to get the fun of actually doing pool mining and solo mining. The current network hash rate for PPL varies from 2MH/s to about 10MH/s. Just an hour ago, the network hash rate was 2.5MH/s so my 7850 was doing about 314kH/s at intensity 12 while I am browsing the internet. If you join a pool, don't forget that your proportional returns are lower, but you get more consistent returns. Something you can also do, is to get additional cards if your motherboard supports them and increase your hashing rate. Anyway, good luck. my electricity is more or less free. just like $20 a month, not much cost for me to run mining. I am buying another gpu as well. and a motherboard with 2 pci slots. but I cannot figure out how to run 2 gpus on one pc. lol. I will get about 600khash/s combined. I was thinking about mining feathercoin or infinitecoin(which seems so pointless, even ifc's wallet won't sync anymore). Still cannot decide which one I should mine. too many different, and here everyone suggests a different coin!

I think you're mistaken. 300mhash is for bitcoin or other sha256 currencies. Not for scrypt e.g feathercoin, litecoin etc. Wait, I am new to this. Could you explain the dfference? well, i am a newbie too. But things that I have read has made me understand it this way: since bitcoin has a higher difficulty, network has faster speed of hashing, that's why a bitcoin sha-256 is read with the speed of mhash/s, 1mhash is equal to 1000khash/s. But all the other altcoins like feathercoin, litecoin, worldcoin, gldcoin etc are mined with khash/s speed. so let's say, a ati radeon 5870 mines bitcoin at 300mhash(which is a example, and not an actual speed), its mining speed for feathercoin, and litecoin will be different, you need to look online. there are 2 wiki pages online. 1=bitcoin hardware comparison 2=scrypt hardware comparison, which will show you a litecoin hardware comparison, which can be used for any scrypt coin. That's all I know.

well, keeping in mind the difficulty of feathercoin, It'll be difficult to get 300ftc a month with 300khash/s right?

so I have a gpu that can mine --scrypt at 300khash/s. I looked at coins and I believe that I dont have much luck with litecoin. Should I be mining feathercoin or gldcoin, if I look at it as a longterm price growth benefit. Which one do you think would be good to mine at 300khash/s. I will be able to add another 300khash/s in next month. thank you

so I figured I was stupid. i wasn't using --scrypt to mine scrypt algo. and it has speed in khash.. Makes sense now

Hi, first off I am sorry if this isn't the correct section to post this topic. So I started to use minerd cpuminer for some fun and learning. I see that it gives me about 10khash/s. And it looks fine to me. So I decided to try my old gpu to mine as for learning purpose. I know its not worth it. its an nvidia geforce 8400 gs. I used cgminer client for windows32 bit running on windows 8. It starts fine, entered server p2pool.org. my ltc address (i hope its allowed to talk about litecoins here, as bitcoin mining seems pointless to me on my current gpu) as username and abc as password. I left it there for like 2 hours. And i came back. it was working, it would display nothing else other than 2.332Mh/s / 2.xxxxMh/s. And best share =1. rest of things were just saying 0. I saw no change at all in 2 hours. I am not sure what's wrong. It just displayed Thread 1 disabled stratum from pool 0 requested work restart stratum from pool 0 requested work restart then sometimes it would show found new block diff changed to #xxxxxx I cant figure out what could be wrong. I tried feathercoin, tried different pools, still it wont get a single share out of it after hour. I mean 2Mh/s is pretty good speed to get like 2ftc/hour. Help me out, thank you
