      Sorry about the spam protection inconvenience, probably due to external links, your comment was noted.

        No worries - I can understand how it looks like spam, edited it like 5 times in a matter of 2 minutes.

        Quick question, the settings that I am using in the BAT file for the miner are the following

        nsgminer.exe
        –neoscrypt
        -g 1
        -w 128
        -I 8
        –gpu-engine 1000
        –gpu-memclock 1500
        -o stratum+tcp://examplescrypt.examplepool.com:exampleport
        -O exampleusername.exampleworker:examplepassword

        How do I tell if it’s not working??

        Right now it’s opening the command line and it runs a few lines and then goes blank. Not sure if I should be giving it more time or if it’s crapping out because I’m pushing the settings too much??

        If it’s not working would it crash the computer, i.e. blue screen of death?

          Hey, welcome to FTC :)

          So far all looks good… only thing i look at is the gpu engine and mem clock… i found when i did this it created drama and stopped things from working!!!

          Also at this early stage i would recommend the change to ccminer… i have found it to give a better kh/s than NSG… don’t know why!!! (anyone help with that?)

          For reference… i used to mine with a gtx780 using NSG. the following is my launch.bat file text

          setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
          setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
          setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
          setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
          setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
          nsgminer.exe --neoscrypt -w 128 -g 1 -I 18 -o stratum+tcp://ftc-neo.give-me-coins.com:3336 -O Gooders.1:x
          pause

          Could change the -W - I setting to something a little lower (see url below) and see if it runs, if it does then its your config file :)

          For the right -W and -I setting for your card, have a look on here for your gpu and then add it into your file.

          http://forum.feathercoin.com/topic/8659/nsgminer-config-collection

          I’m heading home for the evening but if you want that lot breaking down let me know… the first 5 lines of my bat file i have no idea what that was for, i was advised to add it.

          Happy mining :)

              I’m a noob too, but i spent 4 days sorting/syncing the wallet (i would start there because of Give me coins-will need wallet address for settings) and at least a day sorting the miner out so all i can do is post what i found and how i did it! If it saves you the days of drama i had its got to be a win! I’m sure if i am wrong or there is a better way someone will jump and say something!

              EDIT: everyone is friendly here… forums are fairly active and there is some REALLY knowledgeable members in here… if you get stuck with the GMC pool, ask here or the pool slack chat system is really good… guy “khaos” in there is awesome… any drama and its sorted quickly with no fuss… he’s answered my stupid/noob questions and helped me!

                Morning!

                I’m looking for CC Miner - but the only thing I could find was this GitHub

                https://github.com/ghostlander/ccminer-neoscrypt

                I download it - unzip it - but then the install file is asking for a default program to open with?

                Unsure whether this is the right GitHub to download - from everything I’ve read, it is specifically for Neo algo and doesn’t support any other algo’s.

                I’m gonna look around and see if I can find a different download section.

                  https://github.com/ghostlander/ccminer-neoscrypt/releases

                  download the zipfile ccminer-neoscrypt-win-1.5.80.zip
                  extract it

                  run one of the versions of CCminer depending on your config and cards…there should be 4 EXE.s in there.

                    Thank you for that - I downloaded it, but stuck at this point.

                    I took a screenshot of what I’m seeing

                    Left side is NSGMiner - I can see the .exe files there - however i can’t see the same on the right. All the files on the right require a default program to open with.

                    Just a heads up - will update the top posts on this thread tonight - gotta switch priorities for a few hours.

                      Making me question what version i have now! i’m not using that one!

                      my .exe file is ccminer-x64-75

                      ^if that means anything?

                          These settings are for VANILLA PERFORMANCE

                          nsgminer

                          –neoscrypt
                          -g 1
                          -w 128

                          Hello all. Mining newbie here, apologizes for the dull questions.

                          If I’m mining VIA the give-me-coins pool, then I’d have to replace:
                          -o stratum+tcp://examplescrypt.examplepool.com:exampleport
                          with:
                          -o stratum+tcp://ftc-neo.give-me-coins.com:3336
                          Right?

                          I would have to put my give-me-coins username in the place of exampleusername?

                          Thank you all in advance. :)
