Stupid question time...
-
Hi all, new to mining and to feathercoin.
Set everything up and decided to start mining last night in wemineftc.
After 12 hours, nothing on the site that I had mined. Help?!
Im testing this out with some older gear, card is 9800GT so its at 10hash
am I doing something wrong here or is this card just too slow?
thank you in advance for any help or advice.

This is not a stupid question but incomplete.
Please let us know your miner soft and the setting / cmd line you use.

it is not that hard to answer your question. I’ll try without making you jump through hoops, bark like a dog, etc.
Your card is running right about right ,maybe a little slow, but, as like you said, it is an older card.
Radeon cards seem to be the best right now with a few exceptions.
although it is a litecoin comparisoin chart, feathercoin applies as well.
look here, find your card, compare it to the others.

yours is close to the bottom , under NVIDIA.
hope this answers your question.

Not a stupid question. And not your GPU fault (but yes, it is tooooooo slow).
Take a look here:
https://www.feathercoin.com/calc/
Put your share rate in the “hash rate” box and you will see that with the current diff you should expect 0.2 FTC per day. This means that on WemineFTC, after 12 hours you should have around 0.1 FTC in your “Account Balance”.
If you see zero there, then you definitely have problems with the mining (misconfiguration probably). Keep posting and we will help you.
If you don’t receive coins in the wallet, well, that’s a different question. Have you properly set-up your wemineFTC account with your wallet address?
cheers!

I, personally, use coinotron. They have been the only ones on the ball, since I began mining ftc, mid year last year.
Every time I go to another site, whether to mine another coin or not (even wemineftc) They are slow, or not up to date, or it stops, or gives me error messages.
Coinotron is the only one I trust to work all the time, every time.
However, it really doesn’t matter which one you use, and I am not going to argue one over the other. I know what works for me.
Once your hash rate settles down on coinotron, or wemineftc, or whatever site you decide to use, it will show you your hash rate and how many coins you should expect on a daily basis. The same is true for many other sites.
No, I don’t work for them, I only mine several coins there.
Please look at the chart I mentioned and set your cuda-miner to the setting(s) for your card.
I took me weeks of working the settings to gwet a high hash rate, so it may take you a while, too.
However, you are not going to get a very high hash rate with that card anyway, even if you have multiples of that card.
Apparently your card will not work under cgminer, but uses cuda-miner.
Look at the settings for your card and put them in a batch file you can launch from your desktop.
I am not, unfortunately, up on cudaminer settings or I would leave you a sample batch file and configuration file.
Also, I am not aware if it has a configuration file (like cgminer.conf), you can use to set your card settings.
I would suggest you save your pennies and get a radeon card, or if you like the cudeminer stuff, a GTX 780 card (nvidia).
radeon and cgminer is much easier to use, set and maintain, if you ask me. But I am no expert.
Don’t get me wrong about your card, it is most likely a really fast graphics card, but it’s GPU is not heavy duty enough to hash coins very well.
I run an nvidia card in my personal computer, and it is smaller, uses WAY less current (power), is very fast and very high resolution (as high as my radeon 7950’s, which draw 50 times the power it does to get the same resolution (and it is probably as fast, too).
They are just not set up for mining very well, due to the different gpu they use.
your 10kh is only going to mine about .00005 coins per day or less.
go to this website
enter your hash rate and see what you should be mining
according to 10kh your rate is 0.00005 coins per day, which is a negative income per day using a 450 watt power supply.
even at the high rate(for your card) of 41.5kh you are only going to make .0002 coins/day. Still a negative income situation.
