BitMinter cgminer config help please

[qiuness]

Hi,

Since LTC became way less profitable then BTC, i figured i switch for a while.
Looking at different threads i setup my script like this:

cgminer -o stratum+tcp://mint.bitminter.com:3333 -u User_Worker -p xxx --thread-concurrency 8192,8000 --gpu-fan 85,50 -I 18,18 -w 256 -g 1

This yields some weird result:


Not accepting any shares. Any hints on what i could be doing wrong? (using cgminer 2.11.4)

Thanks

i figured out that i need to use intensity 9.
Is there anything else i can tweak? Does BTC use --Thread-concurrency?

Hi buddy,
first thing, try another pool.

Your startup looks fine, however this is what you should get pretty much straight away:

Code:

 [2013-05-17 11:22:38] Started cgminer 3.1.0
 [2013-05-17 11:22:38] Loaded configuration file cgminer.conf
 [2013-05-17 11:22:40] Probing for an alive pool
 [2013-05-17 11:22:41] Network diff set to 11.2M

Notice the time stamps.

I'd also recommend updating cgminer.

I persoanlly use ozcoin and stratum serversas my primary, and in the above example.

ps - one more thing - check your firewall

Alright...i got it working... sorry for not posting the answer...

1. sha256 does not use thread concurrency, so you can leave that out
2. Intensity over 13 will give you this behavior. So 13 is the sweet spot

thanks!

Give me a reason to not use original client. Why you prefer to make it hard with cgminer?

[qiuness]

i can use cgwatcher with cgminer.. that's why

CGminer is very hard to beat if you know it a bit.

The best miner is bitminter. Or maybe other not free soft...
