hey guys, I'm trying to figure out how to mine scrypt coins like Litecoin, got CGMiner, got the bat file setup and everything is as it should be but I just get "Started CGMiner" and then it crashes.
color 0A
cgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://pool1.eu.multipool.in:3334 -u miner -p password --shaders 1408 --intensity 10 --worksize 128 -g 1
Let me know what you think, I'm using Multipool. |

Let me know what you think, I'm using Multipool. Have you installed OpenCL? You haven't listed that. If you have, then things to do: 1> Change worksize (to 256) and check 2> Roll back to an earlier cgminer (3.0.1 is my fav) and check 3> Roll back OpenCL to an earlier build (I use 2.5) and check. |

Ahhh OpenCL? I haven't that'll be why it's crashing then.
Edit: I remember installing an earlier version of OpenCL so I'll install the latest and see if that makes a difference.

Earlier version should work too. Just make sure you install the AMD one (and NOT Intel; though I have both and it doesn't affect). |

Aha! Found the OpenCL MSI in Packages > Apps > OpenCL64, going to re-install my graphics card drivers now too to see if that will do anything now.
Edit: nope, still crashes

Aha! This looks like a classic URL problem I think it's because I've copypasted the whole thing, will need to tweak with it to make it work. Edit 1: It'd be great if you guys could help me on this, I think cgminer must be hating on the stratum+tcp part of my URL. Edit 2: After tweaking the URL I managed to stop the crashing but now I get errors
Starting CGMiner 3.3.0
Probing for alive pool
Pool 0 slow/down or URL or credentials invalid

How the fuck? I just entered a normal http:/ URL with one of the Argentum pools and now all of a sudden it's working and showing statistics just fine, it must be something to do with multipool itself. Here's what my working settings look like now: So far everythings working normal and CGminer is actually quite nice because of the way you can tweak the graphics card, now I need to see if it confirms shares properly and it seems to be doing fine. Edit: Okay my mistake, I've figured out that there's something in my ATI settings that's causing the crash, if I do anything higher than a quite low K hash rate it crashes, this is the cause  |

Can you please explain that in complete noob terms?
Edit: WAIT! IT WORKED! And I'm getting good hashrates now! All I did was remove the shaders tag, I've got everything just right now because I can even surf the net and stuff without any lag and I'm operating at quite comforting temperatures, I can see why people like CGMiner so much now.
