Some video cards, such as HD 7970s, would likely prefer intensity of 13 along with gpu-threads of 2. Tweaking the thread-concurrency flag will help you tune the maximum scrypt hashrate-the flag isn't used in SHA-256d mining. These slightly more advanced options will help you tweak the maximum hashrate from your video card.Īdd the following lines above or below the 'scrypt' line in the main config: For more information on what settings other people have used, see the mining hardware comparison on this wiki and also on the official Litecoin wiki. The following settings are generally tailored to the HD 7950 GPU, and can easily be adjusted for any other GPU. When one goes down, it'll switch to the next, in the preferred order from top to bottom.įor mining SHA-256d coins, such as Bitcoin, you could just remove the scrypt flag-it should automatically select the default kernel for SHA-256 mining. The above configuration uses failover servers and pools. With the above settings, cgminer will usually select the best safe configuration. The above config is the absolute minimum for mining scrypt. The following config is for scrypt based cryptocoin mining, such as Litecoin or MinCoin. Running cgminer while using a config file allows you to run the binary (cgminer, cgminer.exe) without a batch file or any flags appended to the command line.īefore you start mining cryptocoins with your video card, make sure your version of cgminer is 3.7.2 or earlier. The config file allows you to intelligently set all of your settings with ease. The first section below is the minimum needed to get running with a config file. If the file doesn't already exist in the cgminer folder, create it and add settings as needed. bfgminer -o stratum+tcp://.conf is the default configuration file for the cryptocoin miner cgminer. cgminer -o stratum+tcp://:3334 -u 1BURGERAXHH6Yi6LRybRJK7ybEm5m5HwTr -compac-freq 150 GekkoScience cgminer: To build use -enable-gekko flag. cgminer -o stratum+tcp://:3334 -u 1BURGERAXHH6Yi6LRybRJK7ybEm5m5HwTr -au3-freq 150 Old cgminer: To build use -enable-icarus flag.

YouĬan set the frequency under manual options as: -compac-freq 150. I have not yet tested it but edonkey was nice enough to upload aĬustom minera image with cgminer-gekko enabled as a custom miner. The case of windows) compiled with icarus support. Version supports bitshopper compacs as well, and can be (and is, in misc/cgminer-gekko-win32.zip EDIT: The current I (novak) have written a cgminer driver which enumerates the compacsĪs expected, removes the error, and ramps up the clock slowly to Luke Jr added bfgminer support in bfgminer 5.3.0, so you may use that This is pretty good for most people as that's moderately high power but in theory the chips will run up to 500MHz.

These older version of cgminer do not allow a clock rate over 250MHz. If your hardware errors are low you're fine. It may give warnings about 'no valid hashes within 3 seconds' but this is fine, as the U3 has a higher hashrate, confusing cgminer but not noticeably affecting performance. The stickminer will enumerate as an antminer U3 on cgminer (if the version of cgminer you're using supports the U3), and should run fine. You can use bfgminer, which from 5.3.0 supports your miner out of the box. I believe you have to get the driver for it. CGMiner doesn't come with support for that particular miner by default.
