Hello,

I'm new to mining Dogecoins so please bare with me. I'm using cgminer with a GTX 570 GPU. When I first started mining about two weeks ago, I saw cgminer give speeds of about 3 Mh/s. Now, my speed has decreased to about 150 Kh/s in cgminer and Fast-pool (the Dogecoin pool I use) is showing even slower speeds like 5-10 Kh/s as my hashrate. I know I can be doing better because I have a great Internet connection (75 down, 35 up) and my GPU has mining power. I've tried using other programs like cudaMiner but for some reason, I can't get it working. So I've been using cgminer for the time being. Can you please help me?

- Brett

back then you probably mined some sha-256 coin and speed was in Mh/s.
now by mining doge or any other scrypt coin speed is in Kh/s.
first of all, nvidia suck at mining.
150-200kh/s is top hashing speed for that gpu and internet connection has nothing to do with hashrate. even if you have poor adsl speed you would still mine without any problems.

so, try to mine with cudaminer, you'll get some better hashing.
about the difference in hashing speed on cgminer and pool, well pools usually don't show correct speed but screenshot of your cgminer would be helpful to determine where is the problem.
