1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] cudaMiner & ccMiner CUDA based mining applications [Windows/Linux/MacOSX] on: September 12, 2017, 08:28:29 PM
Hi!

I have a hard time figuring out how to configure ccminer to only use one of my GPU:s instead of all, how do I do that? Thanks in advance!:)

I'm sure someone else may know more about this than me, but here's what I found in the readme file:

  -d, --devices         gives a comma separated list of CUDA device IDs
                        to operate on. Device IDs start counting from 0!
                        Alternatively give string names of your card like
                        gtx780ti or gt640#2 (matching 2nd gt640 in the PC).

Give it up with cudaminer, it's over 3 years out of date. The only algos it supports are either dead or taken
over by ASICs. The code won't compile with new tools and won't run on new hardware when compiled with
old tools.

Use one of the many forks of ccminer that are actively developped.


... not actually helpful.

I'm using an NVIDIA GPU, and I'm given to understand that cudaminer is optimized for that. It was suggested to me that I use it because of my GPU and because I couldn't get CGMiner to work since it doesn't support GPUs anymore.

I just want to know how to fix the file paths so it will look in the right location. If it still doesn't work after that, then I might try another miner.

Try this one:

Well, I'm not getting any errors anymore, but it also doesn't look like it's actually mining. I let it run all night, and all it keeps saying is "auto block (#), diff (#.#), with the first number incrementing by 1 with each new line (about once every minute to a minute and a half), and the second number seems random.

Ok, I seem to have gotten it working. I had to put in --algo=scrpyt into my batch file and now it's actually mining, although I'm only getting about 295 kH/s for LINDA coins, where I was getting about 12 MH/s for Ethereum. I'm assuming the difference is due to the algorithm?

Can anyone help? I downloaded the most recent from where checked 256 all good but I cannot get cudaminer to work because of this error.

The location D:/Christian/X is not something I put in anywhere and is not on my rig.
It doesn't matter, it's just the location of the source code when cudaminer has been compiled.
The "error 30" could be a driver issue, I think. Or maybe cuda 5.5 doesn't work with pascal cards.


So... how do we fix the path name? It's obviously looking for these files in the wrong location.

This is my start.bat
Code:
cudaminer --url=stratum+tcp://us.litecoinpool.org:3333 --userpass=USER:PASS



Came here to say this. I'm having this exact problem as well. Is there a config file somewhere that can be changed to use relative path names?

I can't seem to get cgminer to work with hash-to-coins. On their getting started page, they list 3 URLs. I've tried all three, but it doesn't matter what I put in, it just says "URL stratum+tcp://hash-to-coins.com:3333 failed alive testing, reinput details".

So then I tried creating a .BAT file using "cgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://hash-to-coins.com:3333 -u worker.name -p worker.password" but it said that --scrypt was an unrecognized option, so I took one of the dashes out. After that it just says:

Started cgminer 4.10.0
No devices detected!
Waiting for USB hotplug devices or press q to quit

Other people seem to be able to use hash-to-coins just fine, so I'm not sure what the issue is. If cgminer is just broken, is there another miner that supports LINDA coin?

What device do you use with cgminer? Versions higher than 2.7.3 don't support GPU
Can you please send me your cgminer output via PM?

I'm using an NVIDIA GTX 1050 Ti, and I heard back from hash-to-coins about the cgminer version and they suggested I used CudaMiner. I was able to successfully connect to the pool, but then it crashed because it failed to call various files located in D:/Christian/Documents/Visual Studio 2010/Projects/CudaMiner/salsa_kernel.cu

So there seems to be  problem with CudaMiner, and it's not using relative path names. I just don't know where I need to go to change the path of the files it's looking for.
