SOLVED TEACH AN IDIOT MINING

[xsuperbgx]

cgminer -opencl

 

[Luke1978]

I use the same clocks I use in windows when mining, hence the 0's. Anything you leave with a zero, cgminer will do it's own thing.

open-cl is not an option, a,s,j and a are the cg miner options.

 

[xsuperbgx]

click the bottom left, then go to cryptomining, then configure at the bottom, then cgminer -s. Edit your conf file and save.

Sorry fixed in my CS walkthrough. I had done it by (bad) memory.

 

[caddi daddi]

going to configure miner-s

 

[caddi daddi]

ok, got that in and saved, but when i open cgminer-s from the menu it opens and quickly closes a terminal, how do I start it mining?

 

[xsuperbgx]

Probably there is an error in spelling or punctuation in the conf file. Extra commas are usually a problem. Look at mine in the cryptoslax thread or the one posted above.

Post it up if you want me to look at it.

 

[Luke1978]

Without a config file, CryptoSLAX should autconfig shouldn't it? I'm not 100% sure, and a windows config file might not work without some tweaking in a Linux based environment..


My experience with anything Linux is very limited, Last time i tried doing something I ended up in an endless cycle of googling... (how to do a, then how to do some of the stuff in a, then had to Google what they meant in the Google about the problem i had in the first place...

 

[caddi daddi]

it will not upload it, any ideas?

here it is

sooooooo, how do you copy and paste in kate?

Try a screen shot or a copy/paste with code or quote tags around it.

 

[caddi daddi]

third times a charm!!!!

 

[Luke1978]

Copying and Pasting Text

To copy text, select it and use the Edit->Copy menu item. Additionally, selecting text with the mouse will cause selected text to be copied to the X selection.

To paste the text currently in the clipboard, use the Edit->Paste menu item.

Additionally, text selected with the mouse may be pasted by clicking the middle mouse button at the desired position.

Tip

If you are using the KDE desktop, you can retrieve earlier copied text from any application using the Klipper icon in the system tray.

 

[caddi daddi]

ok, got a copy up!!!!

Config looks okay, but I don't use configs, so I don't know them well.


I know your new and all, and it's a bit overwhelming at times, but I recommend against mining at middlecoin. We have noticed that the pool operator doesn't exchange the coins fast, so it take days sometimes longer to get paid.

That's why most use wafflepool for those types of pools.


You of course are free to miner wherever you want, but that's my suggestion.

 

[caddi daddi]

oh, I can change that, but right now it's just learning to get the thing going, and what fun it is.
I have had to put together two rigs just to get this far!!!!!

You can host your wallet on one of the 3 rigs in your sig....

Your .conf file does work, attached below running.
add

"intensity" : "18",

to it though (defaults to 8 with no other parameters set)

Second pic is same config with intensity set to 18

 

[xsuperbgx]

ok try clicking the little terminal box. 2nd box in at bottom left.

type into terminal

cd /
cd /opt/miners/cgminer-opencl
./cgminer -c /opt/miners/cgminer/mining.conf -T

are you running 2 gpu's ? If so add this instead.

"intensity" : "18,18",

me? no, 270X is at RMA, using my mining box 5850 in the meantime. I just figured the easiest way to verify his .conf was to run it
