Problem with mining Fastcoin
« on: December 19, 2013, 10:19:44 PM »
Hello!

I tried to mine Fastcoin with CGminer and I created a .bat file with line:

cgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://de1.miningpool.co:3334 -u Vito240.Vincent -p x

All I get after clicking that .bat file is this window:


After one minute the window goes full black and then nothing happens.

Does anyone here have an idea how to solve this problem?

I tried to mine another coin in another pool yet still I have exactly the same problem. I think command line in .bat file is correct in both cases.

maybe a cgminer.conf issue,  did you set anything in the *.conf ?

I didn't and to be honest I have no idea what should I set there.

U should read a bit mr fast, it'as all there:

Sample fastcoin.conf file

listen=1
daemon=1
server=1
rpcuser=**Yourusername**
rpcpassword=**Yourpassword**
rpcallowip=10.1.1.*
rpcport=9527
rpcconnect=127.0.0.1
addnode=190.191.141.145
addnode=75.135.81.210
addnode=69.57.165.193
addnode=168.61.25.9

And for the cgminer *.conf you try to match this sample with your settings (specs from your card)

http://forum.feathercoin.com/index.php?topic=2989.0

You can also tweak the sample.conf provided in the cgminer directory with replacing your values.

Nice diggin'

RCPALLOWIP should be 127.0.0.1 if you plan to mine solo.
Good diggin'.

ASICs can not mine FST, because it uses scrypt algoritm.   With ASICs you can mine coins with SHA256 algoritm.

   OMG  I'm so stupid sorry for wasting your time, I have a GeForce GT520 1GB DDR3, would that be worth mining with?  If so can you point me to a thread that covers this?  Also do have any suggestions as to which type of SHA I should try?

Geforce has little performance to hashing...

Here you has a hardware comparison:

The ATIs are better to hash...
