BitCoin (Legitimate SHA256)
LiteCoin (Legitimate Scrypt)
NameCoin (at least tries to do something completely different than "mine then sell")

Hard to say without any information about anything at all other than "cgminer".
If you're mining SHA256 on a Scrypt server, you'll get all rejects. Or expired.

Just make a shortcut to the client with the flag -datadir=[client directory].
If you put BitCoin-QT on say.. your E: drive, shortcut would be:
E:\bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe -datadir=E:\bitcoin
To keep your current settings, just cut and paste everything in %appdata%\Roaming\Bitcoin (just type that in the address bar) into the new folder.

Oh, yeah, good deal. 5 LTC is 58x 1 CNC, but sure, sounds legit.
|

|
|
In the CHNCoin folder, just make a shortcut pointing to the CHNCoin exe, but add this flag: -datadir=[your CHNCoin folder]

I withdrew BTC earlier today. Deposits took a while to get confirmations, but withdrawals were quick for me.

6970 and 7870 are similar for BTC (sha256), 6970 has a slight edge (+/- 40 Khash) for LTC (scrypt).

Strangely, I get my best hashing done on Intensity 12. Toy around with the intensity levels, even if they seem too low on paper, there's usually a sweet spot.

It's best to try a bunch of settings/clients out first. I've seen slightly higher numbers with Reaper, but I could never get it working 100% (connection issues), so I'm using CGMiner by default with a pair of 7850's. You might as well make a dummy plug as you can get a 50 pack of resistors from eBay for $0.99, just in case ( for context) EDIT: GUIMiner is just a frontend for Reaper/CGMiner, it's not needed, it does help with trying different settings quickly and not resorting to .bat files. I like just using .bat files, but GUIMiner is great for trial and error before nailing down final stable settings in bat format. |

I can't see what I'm doing wtrong here - I've successfully mined both BTC and LTC in the past using cgminer, my config is as below. From my .bat file; cgminer --scrypt -o http://fhc.ub3rl3[Suspicious link removed]m:9344 -u worker.worker -p xxxxxxxx What am I doing wrong here? Thanks, Mark Looks alright, should try the Stratum server just in case that's the issue. stratum+tcp://fhc.ub3rl33t .com:3334 If it's not that, would have to be a problem with the worker name/pass |

Everything can be funneled into one worker. Easy way to test: Run CGMiner on one card, another CGMiner on another card. You'll see the sum of both on the single worker.

Easiest way would be the following: Download CGMiner (or Reaper, I haven't had luck with it, though): http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/Sign up for a Feathercoin pool and make a "worker" in your account there, there's many pools to choose from... Quick List: Make a text file with a .bat extension (name whatever you want) in the CGMiner folder. In, put something like this: cgminer --scrypt -o PoolAddress -u workerName -p workerPassword Then just run the .bat file, it should work. You can fine tune it if you'd like. Example, I'm on the fhc. ub3rl33t .com/ pool, so I'd use this command: cgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://fhc.ub3rl3[Suspicious link removed]m:3334 -u TheSpiral.1 -p x The URL should be on the pool page itself. |

Technically, Scrypt-based coins tend to do better on CPU's (though still not great). Comparatively: Phenom II X4 965 gets about 11 MHashes for BTC (SHA256) mining, a 7870 card gets about 400 MHash. In this, the video card gets 36x what the CPU does. Same thing on Scrypt (LTC and such): Phenom II X4 965 gets about 25 KHashes for LTC (Scrypt) mining, a 7870 card gets about 385 KHash. In this, the video card gets 15x what the CPU does. Choosing a coin: http://dustcoin.com/mining and http://www.coinchoose.com/ both will say if they're either SHA256 or Scrypt. |

Yes, it supports stratum, I've been using GUIMiner-Scrypt for LTC mining, it is just a frontend for miners. If CGMiner supports Stratum (which it does), so does GUIMiner-Scrypt. I prefer just using CGMiner from command-line, but GUIMiner-Scrypt is great for testing out different flags, options, settings, etc. |

That's the correct URL for WeMineLTC.
stratum+tcp://eu.wemineltc.com:3333 or stratum+tcp://us.wemineltc.com:80
Both work. Was probably just a timing thing or the servers were down for a second.

Best solution is probably find what keeps it stable, it is different on every computer, depends on the motherboard, the cooling, etc....
I have a mining profile for when I'm sleeping or at work, and I have a different one for when I am using the computer. The only difference is the intensity (-I) value, same as the guy in the second post.
It also depends on if you're using it for Bitcoin (SHA256) mining, or Litecoin (Scrypt) mining to pick which flags.
