SHA256 hashrate VS Scrypt Hashrate

[Zhukov0]

Hi people!
I want to make you a question about mining Bitcoins and Litecoins, i mean, cryptocurrencies bases on SHA256 and on Scrypt...


So, the best miner for me (the miner that gives me a best hashrate) is Ufasoft's Bitcoin Miner (i mine all under GNU/Linux), with a maximum of 15MH/s... Not a lot, but... it works   
The problem is that, at the moment, i can't be able to mine on Scrypt algorithm, and with this program i only can mine on SHA256. So i can mine at 15MH/s Bitcoins, Terracoins & Freicoins... but i want to mine some litecoins and feathercoins

So for that i can use CPUMiner and CGMiner. The problem is: on Cpuminer, i just get a max of 45KH/s. On CGMiner i get more, 2,8MH/s, but all that i do on CGMiner is not shown on the Pool, because i can't add --scrypt option at the command... if i add it, program takes a lot of time to start and doesn't mine. BFGMiner case is worst: it desont' mine, it doesn't show any hashrate and lags my computer.

I gonna try another mining soft... but its normal the hashrate difference between SHA256 mining and SCRYPT mining?

Its cause you're doing it wrong. In Scrypt mining, hash rates are x1000 times low than SHA-256, so, with a ATI 7970 you can get +- 700 mhs in SHA-256 and only 700 Khs on scrypt algorythms.
You need to read the, Scrypt readme file from CGminer.
Also, in CPU miner you get 3 times your maximun speed, normally you should get 15mhs and 15khs. So i think you may use that 45khs

Okay, i guess so it's normal thing   
Don't worry my english is bad too :B i'm from Spain

Hi,

Mining BTC at 15Mh/s is very slow and I don't know too much about your power requirement and power costs but I guess you will loose money mining so slow (it's like "throwing money through the window") check profit calculation like dustcoin.com

Yeah, i thinked that, but i don't have the PC turned on just for mine BTC... i mine BTC while i'm working with the PC or i download. I don't know if it's a lot of difference between having the PC turned on with CPU at 10/20% and having it with CPU at 100%... i should know how much Wattage difference is it between 20% and 100%.

Cpu mining is a losing game.  Get a decent ATI GPU
