ok i'm trying ccminer but how do I set it up to use skein? I'm checking the help
https://github.com/sp-hash/ccminer/blob/windows/README.txt

And not much help, looks foreigner to me.

I've tried this
ccminer -a skein -o stratum+tcp://skein.mine.zpool.ca:4933 -u 1PmA6g1TyYdCFEM252PTy84droymFeshsJ

but then I get error:
[2017-06-05 20:37:22] Starting Stratum on stratum+tcp://skein.mine.zpool.ca:4933

Cuda error in func 'skein512_cpu_setBlock_80' at line 2762 : all CUDA-capable devices are busy or unavailable.

And that when it gives me an error. Sometimes it gives no error and it just exit without running anything.

It's my first time trying to do this so I'm not sure if I need more parameters to ccminer or i'm giving something wrong. You guys are the experts, how do you run this thing?

Thanks

Yhanks. And how do you find the exchange rate? Which one has the highest value for mining using gtx 1080?

Silly question but what's Skein? I googled and nothing useful came up. Is it a currency? what's the exchange rate? I can't find any info, no wallet for it or anything.
