Hi, good work on the guide! CGMiner under the latest drivers for windows throws alot of hardware errors unless you run CMD and type setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100Took me a while to figure that one out when i first started maybe you can add? :)
[/quote]I heard that before indeed!
Added it, thank you :). -
Great detailed guide! Especially useful for us newbies to mining. Appreciate your effort in writing this!

i found this and it seems awsome almost like GUIminer i use for NVIDIA 9500 gt card now i have not seen it do anything though. Since i am using the GPU i have it as worker .1 will i need to have the CPU be worker .2 ? ALso on the tab " Mining Pool Status “” it has 4 things listed on there but i think they are for litecoin, can this be used for Feathercoin mining? Im just getting worried it is still showing 0, this screen shots taken like 10 minutes after i started it

Thankyou for the tutorial!
It seems very clear on what to do.
so I did it step by step but I can’t seem to make it work.
I’m trying the cgminer for GPU mining. (ATI 6770) made an account on d2, made the .bat file with my data in it. but when I click on it. it opens a command prompt for like half a sec and closes again. I can’t figure out where it goes wrong… as I did every step of the tutorial. any suggestions!? :-[Update:
Downloaded AMD APP SDK. as it said in another tread that this is probably the solve for the crash.
But unfortunately it still does. I managed to make a screenshot of the quick CMD promt and it stated:: cgminer.exe: --scrypt: unrecognized option
tried different versions of cgminer that didn’t work eighter…Update:
Got it! it seemed to be a problem with the cgminer version and the .batfile that was giving the “unrecognized” message -
Maybe Pin/Sticky this.
Looks a good point of reference.

[/quote]Thanks for you feedback, the latest version of CGMiner does not support scrypt anymore, i’ll update my post.

well I tried this just to see if I can get CPU mining along with gpu miner did not think it would be problem. I did download, extracted and typed in the 4 pieces of info it asked for. Clicked start and has been at " 0 " for like 10 minutes or longer. I only keep getting [2013-12-31 17:06:16] json_rpc_call failed, retry after 30 seconds

I have a few questions,
what do you put into the .BAT file you make. the tutorial doesn’t mention.
Also what do you name the file “???.BAT” -
It mentions it but could be clearer,
the cgminer.bat file is just to run the GPU setting 100%, so you can use full power. then cgminer.exe
e.g.
cd\cgminer
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
cgminer.exe -

[/quote]It seems that, with the latest forum issue the post got a bit messed up…
Will edit now :) -
This is a brilliant guide. I’m gonna sticky it if that’s ok?
If it’s not, un-sticky it.

There is some good information in @Sheepson 's guide, which is now out of date, but could be used in a new guide with updated links.
Sheepson contributed a lot to early FTC mining.
