Also you can access most of the settings from your config from inside of cgminer while its running. Press Q to quit you dont want to X out and lose work. Somewhat self explanatory but I thought I would mention.

Ool management / pu management / Settings / isplay options uit This can vary though and has a little to do with luck and again will take a long time to even out. so for every 100/khs you should have at least 90wu/m. Sometimes you will see wu referred to on a ratio vs kh/s. This is wildly random at first and goes up and down significantly. Ive seen some high kh/s on my card that produced horrible wu/m. kh/s is nothing without work being submitted. Otherwise you may end up with a headache. Generally you want to do your tweaking on a single coin dedicated pool to avoid loss of kh/s during coin switch. Generally this is what people watch as they tweak there gpu. Kh/s: This is how hard your gpu is running. bat file and you are up and mining! Heres some of the info you will want to focus on and information about each: That's it you now have set-up your miner. txt just remove the txt from the end and make sure its a. Same as with the conf if you accidently save as. Save the file as anything you want but add '.bat' to the end.

Also if you set the miner to auto-start with PC you can increase the timeout to give your PC time to start-up. Use the timeout to give yourself time to re-size the miner as it will be locked in once it starts mining.

If using sgminer it WILL NOT WORK with -scrypt included. Sgminer.exeVery similar but if using cgminer make sure you include -scrypt. Then go back and make a new text file and insert this: If you end up accidently saving as a text file make sure you delete '.txt' from the end so it becomes a config file (should say nf or nf) Make sure you name it nf (or nf for sgminer). but when that first pool is available again it will switch back automatically.Īfter you have it all setup you then save your file into the cgminer folder. Always have one pool from a completely different website as you never know what could happen! Failover-only will make sure that when a pool fails it goes to the backup. If they have there own backup pool you will want to add a 3rd pool and make sure its seperate from the originals. Make sure you setup a back-up pool SEPERATE from the one you are on. (referred to on the wiki as -w -I -g and -thread-concurrency) Make sure you change everything you need changed including worksize, intensity, gpu-threads and thread-concurrency. Although recent reports show that the 270x settings seem to be working for multiple people at around 500kh/s Results may vary and you will likely need adjustments even if using the same cards. The second config is for sgminer and is pre-setup for regular intensity on a 280x with 2 threads. The first config is pre-setup for my 7870 and my 270x at 2 gpu threads using xintensity. You will end up adjusting later to get the most out of your card but for now get a good starting point. Find what others used and insert the information accordingly. Please check me out from there if your part of that community aswell: Because of this I have created an account on reddit and posted links to my guide there. They are taking tips for this and upvotes. Will do my best to get back here and get some work done!Īlso I have noticed many people on reddit trying to make smaller guides and take credit for the effort put in here.
