Need help setting up to mine! Would like to start tonight asap!

[miningdude22]

Okay, so here is the break down…

I have received all my mining equipment.

now i downloaded nsgminer and tried to start it but nothing happens. i remember awhile ago that i needed to create some file then save it as a .bat file i believe…

I would just like a little help to start mining. What else do i need to download and do?

Is there a video out there that is up to date with the mining setup?

I also have a GTX 1070 gpu that i just bought today. so can someone please explain to me in depth on how to get it running? running as in the mining? please?

with nvidia gpus ccminer runs a lot better

you just have to make the bat file to start the rest runs automaticly…

look for a pool there are always the parameter you need

something like this
ccminer.exe -i 15 -a neoscrypt -o stratum+tcp://46.4.0.101:19327 -u YOUR_FTC_PAYOUT_ADDRESS -p x

or try my programm it makes it a bit easier

[miningdude22]

@shadow1117 okay. Now when I try to get the address from my wallet, it just shows to receive money from…

[shadow1117]

@miningdude22 is it synced?

Hello.

Yep so copy one of your “receiving addresses” and then run your miner like so

Pretend this addresses is MyFirstWallet
6r4het1EmgYeHQa3stHUtVgB63CkpMXG47

ccminer.exe -i 15 -a neoscrypt -o stratum+tcp://46.4.0.101:19327 -u 6r4het1EmgYeHQa3stHUtVgB63CkpMXG47 -p x

the above command says:

You’re running CCMiner.EXE with intensity at 15, you’ve chosen the neoScrypt Algo which feathercoin uses, you’ve pointed it to the p2pool running on 46.4.0.101 using the stratum protocol on port 19327, your miner worker username/pass is your Feathercoin payout address and the password “x” is just there to complete the command. the p2pool software recognises your payoutaddress/username and pays that.

edit: you have to run CCminer from CMD or create a .bat file to run ccminer

[miningdude22]

@AcidD Ok. Still kind of confused. I have a give me coins account. Now I do the same thing you just told me but nothing comes up…

[miningdude22]

@shadow1117 Okay got it!

[shadow1117]

@miningdude22 so you are mining now?

if you need more help just ask we give our best to help annyone ;-)

[miningdude22]

@shadow1117 no not mining now. still stuck man. I’m trying to look up tutorials but cant find anything anywhere… so I downloaded ccminer created an account at coin-o-tron and that’s all. then also downloaded the wallet ofcourse. but other then that I’m stuck…

[shadow1117]

so you have your wallet recieving address

you need the coinotron stratum address (can be found in their help section)
–deleted–

stratum+tcp://coinotron.com:3337

–deleted–

and a worker

and thats all so your .bat/.cmd file should look like this:
ccminer.exe -a neoscrypt -i 15 -o stratum+tcp://coinotron.com:3337 -u Shadow1117.1 -p 1

oh and you need to setup auto payout in your settings:

put in something over 20 to avoid payout fees

oh lol now everyone knows my name :face_palm:

[miningdude22]

@shadow1117 opens but the windows closes fast… did I download theccminer wrong???

[shadow1117]

@miningdude22 write pause in the next line in the .bat file than you can see the error message

[miningdude22]

@shadow1117 ccminer is not recognized as an internal or external batch file

[miningdude22]

‘ccminer.exe’ is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file. that’s what its saying

[shadow1117]

@miningdude22 the .bat file is in the same folder as the miner?

[miningdude22]

yeah it is

[shadow1117]

@miningdude22 the .exe file of the miner is named ccminer?
not something like “ccminer_nosync_cuda75”

[miningdude22]

@shadow1117 “ccminer-neoscrypt-win-1.5.80” is the file name

[shadow1117]

@miningdude22 rename it or put it in the bat file as is

[miningdude22]

nothing. but I am close… I redownloaded the ccminer and extracted it this time and loaded the miner and started mining… but I cannot get it to mine on my stuff…
