I think the most productive way to respond to a post like this is to both:
1. actually answer his question and help him with exactly what he says he wants
2. also share that it may not be in his best interest to gpu mine btc for all the reasons posted in this thread
Now this is a professional approach, i agree,
I also hate people wasting my time giving me a song with a drum beat and no beautiful synths and strings, and not helping me.
I also want to learn and giveback what i know to others.
Again, hate being pushed to urls all the time with insufficient information, if i didnt bother with google then i would not have come here either.
I took the effort to register here in the first place.
Anyways i was also looking around for ways to mine Bitcoin or even the algo SHA256/d - unsure if they are the same, but i have managed to get my CPU miner going on my i7 2600 but it obviously seems like it it going to be the Kalahari here and no water for the animals for kilometers to come.
I tried the same pool in my case which was a nicehash lotto pool apparently .... but my SGminer gives me no failed status and or --debug doesnt help me at all since the screen clears , God knows why - so i.e. pause in a batch files doesnt help since i dont see the cleared error if there is one...
Unsure how to use Sgminer in most cases even if i refer to --help.
It doesnt help me solve issues i have previously had where the mining seems to begin for a certain coin and then i get many HW errors.
And of course my most recent one where it just bombs out and goes back to a prompt.
I do not understand how you know what SGminer algos are supported, unlike cpuminer.exe or minderd.exe which actually tell you which algorithms are supported when you type --help.
Though i have noticed u get certain hacked versions of those file where the guys completely strip out the algos and only leave a few in the code, unsure why also.
Enough waffling, sorry.
