      @wrapper thank you for your welcome.
      I may solo mine yet, how big is the app data file for the wallet. If i have hhd space i will solo, if not i will pool. What is the block solve reward? and how frequent is the block time?
      I think that tonight i will read, and tommorow i will mine.
      Nice forum BTW,

      Best wishes
      Paula

        It is possible to solo mine, I’d advise 200 kHash/s at current difficulties, minimum hash rate.

        At a rough estimate it might take 2 week to 4 weeks to get a block, currently. You may be more lucky…

        If the difficulty goes up more I’d switch to a pool. P2pool is easy to get started and decentralized.

              Re : Time to Solo Mine a block.

              I have set up solo mining on p2pool, and can read some extra statistics as they go passed. P2pool will eventually join with other compatible nodes and pay out to all on the pool.

              700 KHash/s estimated time to block ~ 14 Hrs
              350 KHash/s ~ 28 Hrs
              400 KHash/s ~ 32 Hrs
              100 KHash = ~ 128 Hrs

              Saying that - It’s 20 Hrs without a block so far.

                I have now got a block “solo mining” on p2pool. I got half the payment 35 FTC. So it took 31 hours to get ~0.5 of a block.

                @greenuser, I then got 2 * 0.5 blocks in an hour. So …

                This means it will take ~32 Hours Solo mining at 700 KHash/s to get one block.

                  Hi, i am trying to get a rig mining FTC.
                  Up until recently it mined ethereum with this setup.

                  I use windows 7 -64bit, HP ProLiant DL380 G5 Server with four Sapphire AMD Radeon HD 7870 Dual-X 2GB GDDR5 (11199-16-20G) GPU cards and AMD Catalyst 15.12 drivers.

                  I have an old account at Give-me-Coin from BTC mining so i got the URL from them and set up a worker and added a LTC address.
                  i got nsgminer from https://github.com/ghostlander/nsgminer/releases
                  and unziped it.
                  I put a bat file in the same folder like this,

                  nsgminer --neoscrypt -g 1 -w 128 -I 16 --gpu-engine 1000 --gpu-memclock 1500 -o stratum+tcp://ftc-neo.give-me-coins.com:3336 -o greenuser.1:12345

                  where…
                  ftc-neo.give-me-coins.com = url
                  3336 = port
                  greenuser.1 = workername
                  12345 = password

                  When i run the bat the system crashes and blue screens me a message saying,

                  *** HARDWARE MALFUCTION***
                  CALL YOUR HARDWARE VERDOR FOR SUPPORT
                  NMI: PARTY CHECK / MEMORY PARTY ERROR
                  *** THE SYSTEM HAS FAILD ***

                  LOL :smirk:

                  Now waiting on a system restore!
                  Any ideas?

                    You need to post on the nsgminer thread or in mining to get the best responce.

                    I would firstly suggest starting with a lower Intensity.

                    Maybe try p2pool first, (you don’t have sign on issues and has some good charts) I know these pools sometimes have there own multi pool client. Also the port might be 9333 .

                          I’ll watch in the Shoutbox, let me know when it reboots :) Just a min I’ll set you up a start command to try

                          nsgminer --neoscrypt - -I 13 -o http://p2pool.neoscrypt.de:19327 -O FTC address

                          NSGminer sets it’self up fine, you can try adjusting once your in.

                          Shoutbox is only on front page so I’ll wait here
