I have a single nVidia GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 on Windows 8
I understand GUI miner supports only OpenCL so I am using cudaminer (which I got working after overcoming a few hurdles since nVidia somehow ignores old cards in newer driver files available for downloads]
Anwyays,
cudaminer.exe says :

Code:
[2113-05-14 2:35:18] 1 miner threads started, using 'sha256d' algorithm.
[2113-05-14 2:35:19] Long-polling activated for http://xx.xx.xx:nnnn
[2113-05-14 2:35:22] GPU #0: (null), 2097152 hashes, 769.05 khash/s
[2113-05-14 2:36:19] GPU #0: (null), 43835616 hashes, 765.13 khash/s
[2113-05-14 2:37:19] GPU #0: (null), 45907897 hashes, 762.05 khash/s
[2113-05-14 2:37:23] LONGPOLL detected new block
[2113-05-14 2:37:23] GPU #0: (null), 2655882 hashes, 764.19 khash/s
[2113-05-14 2:38:23] GPU #0: (null), 45851414 hashes, 766.47 khash/s
[2113-05-14 2:39:23] GPU #0: (null), 45988291 hashes, 764.66 khash/s
[2113-05-14 2:40:25] GPU #0: (null), 45879469 hashes, 753.74 khash/s
[2113-05-14 2:41:24] GPU #0: (null), 45224485 hashes, 759.87 khash/s
[2113-05-14 2:41:39] LONGPOLL detected new block
[2113-05-14 2:41:39] GPU #0: (null), 10750290 hashes, 762.23 khash/s

But GPUShark says:
Code:
GPU and memory usage
- GPU: 0.0%, max: 0.0%
- GPU memory: 66.5%
- GPU memory controller: 0.0%

So I have 2 questions:

1. Am I making cudaminer.exe use CUDA or atleast the GPU's single GPU cycle or no??
2. Frankly I have never seen 3-digit khash/sec in my life until now! Can I use CUDA with some tool supporting scrypt for mining Litecoins ?

Thanks.

Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

i think it's not correct, too much hash

I know! Right?

Found blocks   Current shares   Score   Last share at   Mhash/s*

It's all showing - and 0. It's already been an hour !!

I'll keep it running for 4 - 5 hours and check with the Pool Dashboard if my workers have generated anything.
Hope checking after 4 - 5 hours is a normal thing and generally does generate some cracked hash value.
My system is seriously slow coz of cgminer on one worker and cudaminer on another.

I had something similar happen, its where the miner connects, and its hashing, but its not actually working.

I have had it happen with cpu and gpu.

Anywya, hope its real numbers for you.

How did you sort the issue chowderman?
What are you using currently (which tool) to mine?

I am getting 8 digit-hashes and GPU #0: (null)
Others see a Graphics card name.
I also don't see a "yay" :-(

It came when I was messing around with stuff, trying to adapt other miners to other things. But my current tool is BAMT, i use a special LTC-scrypt designed version. https://forum.litecoin.net/index.php/topic,2924.0.html which is also updated for 7000 series gpus. its pretty powerful.
