mining dogecoin using linux

[marbu1022]

Hey guys and gals,


I want to know if it is possible to mine dogecoin using my gpu on my linux box? FYI, I run Fedora with an Intel Haswell Mobile GPU. I have been searching the net, but so far I have found cudaminer, which requires an nvidia card, and cgminer, but from what I understand, the latest version does not support GPUs. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

Its true that CUDA requires a nvidia graphics card. Is the graphics card you are using an intel or is it an intel CPU

Don't use any cgminer builds newer than 3.7.2

The newer versions of CGMiner don't support GPU mining.

 You can do it - but you will lose money FAST on any Scrypt coin trying to mine it with a GPU.
 ASIC devices took over ALL Scrypt coins about 2 years ago as far as profitable mining goes.


 Don't even THINK about trying to mine anything with INTEL joke graphics - their performance has always been 3+ generations behind AMD or NVidia at best.
 For perspective, the lowest-end AMD A-series GPU blows away the TOP Haswell piece of junk across the board - and A-series GPUs are VERY LOW END by AMD standards.

 Very bad idea to do ANYTHING with a laptop 24/7 - they're NOT designed for continuous operation as a general rule.

Thanks for replying guys, I have decided it was not worth for me to mine dogecoin. I may just buy a few coins instead.
