Well thanks to both of you for living up to all of my expectations.
I would have been very easy to suggest using another miner like cudaminer, which worked by the way.
But i guess some people just can't resist shitting on other peoples threads.
There are doctors and medications for obsessive disorders like that.
I suggest you look into those options before making any more posts.
Thanks.
its just that most people dont even bother to read the full op
it was intended to get familiar with mining, not for profit
suggesting to buy a decent card just to get familiar with mining is like suggesting to buy a new car to get familiar with driving, even though you have a crappy old car for free in your garage to learn about stuff
i personally dont know any specific miner for sm 1.X, but im sure a very old version of ccminer or cudaminer will work, as you stated above it did apparently
additionally i suggest using cpu mining to get familar too, its very similar to gpu mining but got a better support in recent miners
