hello, I have two 1660 Graphic cards, a friend is developing a coin, he created a mining pool and I want to help him mine the coin a little faster, because people outside the project are under mining before launching  Cry, what program should I use and how would the configuration be?

wallets: https://github.com/escudonavacense/Wallets

mining pool: http://45.147.228.122/

algo: scrypt

block explorer: http://45.147.230.110/

I would really appreciate the help, the currency was planned to be announcet on February 14, but a group of people download, the qt from the repositorie and began mining alone, leaving the pool unusable (it was mining with cpu), i think maybe my cards can help a little.

i try with cudaminer, but I didn't really know how to configure it, to the point that it present errors.

I appreciate any help provided  Grin

Mining scrypt with a GPU is obsolete, it's all ASICs. I hope your friend realizes that.

Cudaminer is also obsolete, replaced by ccminer (open source) and a few fee based
closed source miners.

As far as pool mining, you get the instructions from the pool, the're all different.

There are a lot of tutorials around, even videos to help you get started.

If you want to help your friend, mining scrypt with a GPU is like filling a swimming pool
with a spoon.

If you want to do some real mining with your 1660s, you need to do some research
to find which algos are suitable for GPU mining. Again there's lot's of info around if you look.

so, the people that are mining the coin are using ASICs miners?  Shocked, i'll try to use ccminer, i tru and now ccminer open the .bat file a close immediately

1660 GPU is a good card for mining because of its new architecture, lower power consumption but why scrypt algorithm? that card is very good for Monero and cryptonight coins and presently its the most profitable algorithm after Ethhash

This is not the right way to do this my friend, it seems like ASIC thing not GPU. I think you need to read more about the things first before actually trying this.

You shouldn't be using Graphics card to mine scrypt algorithm coins because scrypt is only good for Asic miners now, those 1660 graphics card will be good for other algorithm like cryptonight or cryptonight lite coins instead
