[GUIDE] Mining on a Nvidia card (Win 64)

[ironwill]

For anyone looking for nvidia results from this miner, I will show mine along with specs. I will list an IMGUR screenshot for you to see everything(wallet address edited out)
--I am running an I-7 6800k 3.4 Ghz with an EVGA GTX 1080 FTW ACX 3.0 8gb GDDR5X
--I adjusted my MSI afterburner to boost hashrate similar to my Eth and Zec miners
--I Also edited in a photo of my power wattage draw on the entire system with modem while all this is running. I also have a 80 plus gold certified PSU for any wondering.
--I am also listing the CPU miner. I'm using 8 threads of 12
--I'll also include the miner batch file for anyone to see the settings.

One quick note.... My system lags with this miner. I cannot watch youtube or movies while it's running, which is strange due to the fact that I can when mining other coins.
Another quick note concerning POWER DRAW...  I stopped everything and and just had the desktop sitting idle with a draw of 130 watts with full peripherals.  So, 273 - 130 is a mining power draw of 143 watts roughly for 900+ h/s.  Not bad

If you have any questions feel free to ask, but keep in mind I'm not a computer nerd. So I don't know really technical things like Sedin does. Shoutout to Sedin, thank you for all the help you gave people in here. It helped me get mine up and running.

You add --donate to .bat and then ? how to decrease turn it off?
And can someone please tell me what option to add for 980M ?
It has 1536cuda core x 12 stream processors. 8 GB VRAM.

Just started using this on my rig of 1060’s

Much better hashrate than ccminer

I entered:

set poolUrl=pool.electroneum.space:5555

As I just saw this is only a 1% fee pool but when i run the .bat file it just keeps saying:

" json_rpc_call failed, retry after 30 seconds"

Try:
set poolUrl=stratum+tcp://pool.electroneum.space:5555

protocol are important in an URI

stratum+tcp://eupool.electroneum.com:3333

I’m now using xmrMiner though. Slight better hashrates

[mrnewguy]

most people need to use the 3333 port. don't use 5555 unless you have more than 2 GPUs

I will adjust my specs to your recommendation thanks

Hi, i am having difficulty figuring out how to edit the the miner to input the proper wallet, pool ect...

[joecat1108]

I know you normally would use the config.txt file but there is no such file that came with the download.....

Not bad, I'm using my desktop to play with the GPU miner and with a quick and dirty OC the Hash looks good. I don't know much about this currency, but can it be dual mined like ETH/SIA? Added 2 Screen Captures with port 7777 is similar but port 3333 has a higher rate of accepted shares. Much higher rate actually, can still do basic web surfing for the most part as well.

why are you using port 7777? Use 3333

HOLY COW!!! I jsut changed my settings from 5555 to 3333 and it's mining succuessfully every 3 - 4 seconds

Shares on at lower diff are worth way less, you should mine on 5555 at least with a GPU...

Why do you think so? As long as you can have share on every block, 5555 is better.
