Scrypt mining

[BTC-TK]

I am curious are there any guides on setting up scrypt mining without using pools on rented GPU servers?

[Amph]

you mean for solo mining?

Yes, pools really don't make sense if you're investing in some crypto in its early days.

then, just match your config with cgminer string(desktop shortcut)

config

rpcuser= what you want
rpcpassword=what you want
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport= coin port(search in the official thread)
server=1

save and reload the client of your coin

cgminer string

-o 127.0.0.1:rpcport -u rpcuser -p rpcpassword and your vga config (example for 7950  -g2 --thread-concurrency 8192 -I 13)

that's it

Ah thanks, I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to actual mining, makes me curious how (un)effecient is -gen in comparison to cgminer?

dunno i only know about cgminer/bfgminer, and reaper, but this one is not user friendly

I mean the standard (what-have-you)-qt with the -gen option running.

[Amph]

don't bother, because the default qt miner use the cpu, unless you want to mine a cpu coin..

Didn't Satoshi mine like tens of millions worth of BTC using the -gen option?

[Amph]

yeah, but it was at the start, now the difficulty is like 2 peta

I will be mining altcoins from the start, no one was talking about BTC.
