I made a new file from the other “ccminer” went into the folder and went into edit mode for “neoscrypt-65”. copied that. made a new text file saved it as a batch file and loaded it then worked. so it has to be something with that. so I might try and switch to p2pool…
where did you get the “neoscrypt-65” seems weird should be more like just “neoscrypt”
-
@shadow1117 no idea. can you give me a link to a website to redownload it?
-
@miningdude22 you dont need to redownload it you seem to have the right ting but you just need to start it with the right arguments:
ccminer.exe -a neoscrypt -i 15 -o stratum+tcp://46.4.0.101:19327 -u YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS -p x
thats it
-
1 - inside here there is 1 folder
ccminer-neoscrypt-win-1.5.802 - inside that folder there are 4 exes…which appear to be different versions of ccminer…I dont run nVidia so I’m not 100% sure. …I assume you can run each one.
3 - copy ccminer-neoscrypt-win-1.5.80 folder to desktop
4 - open CMD
5 - navigate to (you can copy and past the below into CMD)
cd C:\Users\%Username%\Desktop\ccminer-neoscrypt-win-1.5.80\
6 - Test ccminer by running something like this (you can copy and paste the below into CMD …AFTER you change the payout address)ccminer64_75.exe -a neoscrypt -i 15 -o stratum+tcp://46.4.0.101:19327 -u YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS -p x
Edit:
Further to this - the 4 exes are named …the 32 and 64 at the begining is for the OS and the 75 or 65 is for the cuda versionso if you had a 64 bit version of windows with a newer graphics card that supported cuda 7.5 you’d run ccminer64_75.exe
You also have to make sure you’ve install the nVidia drivers and any other drivers needed…possibly things related to OpenCL.
I dont mine with nVidia so I cant say much more.
I hope this helps.
-
samething. ‘ccminer.exe’ is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file. -
@miningdude22 you have to unpack the .zip file and rename one of the .exe files into ccminer.exe for your modern grapics card you should use one with 75
-
@shadow1117 could you show me this on team viewer?
-
@shadow1117 I think I started to mine… problem is now I’m mining with nsgminer and not ccminer. also its saying stratum from pool 0 requested work restart. what does that mean?
-
@miningdude22 im back home now, the restart is normal just means that a block was found and your miner shall start searching for the next one
if you want i could take a look with teamviewer
-
kinda off topic, but I love the way @shadow1117 is handling support ;-)
-
@AcidD im trying my very best im pretty new to this all too so its just a noob helping a noob i think
-
@shadow1117 yeah sorry @AcidD. i know i am a bit of a hassle maybe a little more but i got cgminer to work and mine just not ccminer. i have found a few different .bat lines to try and see. if it doesn’t then I’m going to re download it again and try to see if that work… ummmm but thank you both and sorry for being annoying. i just need help making the .bat file to run.
-
@miningdude22 - there’s nothing to be sorry for, everyone starts somewhere :-)
if you can get cgminer.exe or ccminer.exe working by running it from CMD then you’re half way there.
Once you have the correct commands working inside CMD.
1 - go to your folder that contains cgminer.exe
2 - make a new .bat file (make sure the .bat file is in the same location as cgminer/ccminer.exe)eg. cgminer.exe is in c:\windows\miningdude\Desktop\cgminer\cgminer.exe
so you would put the .bat file in: c:\windows\miningdude\Desktop\cgminer\mybatfile.bat
You can name it whatever you like, in my example the .Bat file is called “mybatfile.bat”3 - open the new .bat file with notepad or another text editor and paste your commands from CMD in there.
4- save it
5 - run it.
Simples :-)
-
okay. cgminer runs. lemme just send you an image of what I’m getting…
-
Sorry I ment nsgminer
-
or use my gui ;-) if you know your pool addres, your wallet addres, the place where you extracted ccminer and just put 15 for intensity everyting is fine
-
@AcidD all cgminer is giving me “Strautum from pool 0 dectected new block”. Then “accepted a4cb89 diff 6.16k/512 GPU 0” then “network diff set to 3.01m”
And it just keep repeating that

Ok so that sounds like it’s mining. Are you mining against p2pool or a mining pool like give-me-coins ? You should be able to check the hashrate for your “worker” there as well.
-
Give me coins pool
-
Ok so you have to check your settings there, if you’re mining against Feathercoin you can sign into give-me-coins feathercoin pool and the home page should show you some stats.
can you confirm the graphics card you’re using ?
