How do I get Ethereum miner to recognize 2 cards on the same computer ?... it only mines one of 2 cards .nvidia 980ti at 22 mh/s.
It should have  -d 0,1 but doesn't work..like cuda should.
Thx

EDIT: This my bat file that doesn't work      

ethminer.exe  --farm-recheck 3000  -o http://eth-us.suprnova.cc:3001/razorsedge.eth1/22

On the donation bat file I get 1 card 980ti that gives 22 mh/s...but this bat file above doesn't work.
My main thing is to get one card working.
Please help.
thx
EDIT:I have
ethminer.exe --farm-recheck 3000 -U -F http://eth-us.suprnova.cc:3001/razorsedge.eth1/22  --opencl-platform 1
Working now with only 1 card.
I have 2 750ti too on the rig.

Still won't mine with the other 980ti card......

get the latest driver package from nvidia and the latest ethminer https://github.com/Genoil/cpp-ethereum/blob/stratum/releases/ethminer-0.9.41-genoil-1.0.4b3.zip?raw=true.  Then what i did on the computer that i had some trouble with is use this little program..  http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html
http://www.guru3d.com/files-get/display-driver-uninstaller-download,20.html  let it run in safe mode then click the drop down and select nvidia.. Delete all drivers and restart is the button i selected.> upon restart load the new drivers.  then reboot again..  go to ethminer directory.. ethminer --list-devices  if it shows you all your cards then your are good.. fingers crossed restart the ethminer batch you have. ethminer.exe --farm-recheck 3000 -U -F http://eth-us.suprnova.cc:3001/razorsedge.eth1/22  --opencl-platform 1   if that still doesnt work.. try add -t 3 switch after the -U  not sure that will do anything but ive seen some say yes and some no.. Idk..  sorry i could be of more help.   If you do figure it out.. Please let us know what you did to get it working.

Best Regards

Have you tried web wallets like https://holytransaction.com/

new wallet keeps getting stuck downloading blocks 

Try closing it and then reopening it.

I downloaded the latest wallet from Github yesterday. It fully synced in what seemed like a couple of hours. It might have been three, but very quick compared to other altcoin wallets I've had. It synced fast until the last few blocks and then it stuck. About 10 minutes passed with no progress so I closed the wallet and opened it again and it was fully synced in seconds.

Stalling when syncing is normal with all the altcoin wallets I've had when first installing. Closing and opening a QT wallet is the standard known cure for sync stalling. I suppose it is the same for ethereum.

Here's a question I have about Ethereum wallets. Up to now I've been storing all my Ethereum on exchanges.

How should I store it in my Ethereum wallet?

I'm confused. Do I just send it to the Ethereum Main Account (Etherbase) wallet, or should I create my own personal wallet within the Etherbase base Main Account and use that as my main storage wallet. How should I go about it?

My confusion is coming from the notice in the wallet that Accounts can't display incoming transactions and to see them I have to create a wallet contract. I don't want to send my Ethereum to my new wallet in case I foul things up.

Apologies if this is a regular question that has been answered before, but I tried looking and couldn't find a definitive answer. Guidance on this might also be of interest to the increased influx of Ethereum wallet newbies because of the publicity given to Devcon last year and to the gamechanging advances made recently.

From website:

Generating wallet address:
– Open the geth folder and run geth-console.bat to start Ethereum in console mode
– The software will need to download the blockchain data, it can take some time
– In the console type: personal.newAccount("password")
– Instead of password in the quotes above write your own password and remember it well
– In the console type: eth.accounts
– This will list your Ethereum wallet address
– To check your account balance you can type:web3.fromWei(eth.getBalance(eth.coinbase), "ether")
Sending Ether to another wallet:
– First you need to unlock your account by typing in the console the following (replace password with your password): personal.unlockAccount(eth.accounts[0], "password")
– In the console type: eth.sendTransaction({from: 'your_address', to: 'recipient_address', value: web3.toWei(1, "ether")})
– In the above code replace your_address and recipient_address with the respective addresses, the example is for sending 1 Ether, but you can change the value depending on your needs

If you're on Windoze you'll need a 3^rd party time synchronization application.

whether ethereum?

Yes I'm on Windows7 64-bit. I'll try to create a new wallet later when I come home from work. Thanks.

Thanks also to Variantand for your detailed information about wallet creation.

NetTime works for me, you may have to try several different NTP servers.

For the command line challenged, the wallet GUI is called Mist and it connects to the geth node via RPC.

A working bat file for windows 8.1 with 2 cards.

ethminer.exe --farm-recheck 3000 -U -F http://eth-us.suprnova.cc:3001/razorsedge.eth1/22  --cuda-devices 0 1

I missed out on buying ETH early on and am wondering if it is still viable for me to enter the ETH market at this time and just buy a few to hold long term? Or is it mainly just for daytraders now? I am looking into it as a medium to longer term play.

--farm-recheck 3000 is too long. It is better for it to be below 300. It will not send many shares out due to the farm recheck time.
