Software: CUDA Miner
OS: Windovs 7
Graphics card: GeForce GT 560 Ti

For the moment I am only mining litecoins. This works fine. But if I want to try my luck with mining bitcoins how do I do it?

I understandthat CUDA Miner supports mining bitcoins by selecting another algorithm somehow. I have looked at the help and readme file but I dont fully understand it.

Can someone please help me with this?

BR,

if you look at the --help, the first item on the list is -a algorithm, you want the 256sha one (can't remember exactly how it's worded off the top of my head but if you look at the help it spells it out for you)

Alright, thanks!

I have looked at it and there is two choices to make here. Either sha256 or SHA-256d. Do you know what the difference is?
