C:-) :P :))
For what? If someone mined for him, would that be a bad thing? :P
whats up fellas, Happy New Years to you all.
Sorry i never wrote back to you guys, been going through a rough time. I lost my job 3 weeks before Christmas and its been a little hectic. Anyways i wanted to say Thank you for all the help you guys have given me, it was much appreciated :)
Are you still getting hardware errors?
If so, see if you can get just one of your cards connected to the pool and mining without errors.
Double check that your worker is registered correctly with the pool and that you’re using the same user name and pass in your bat/config.
OK so i finally got around to adjust the setting’s on CGMiner. I’m Finally Mining 8) … Thank you guys so much for all the help, i really appreciate it :))
This is my .conf file

I’m still playing with the settings to try and get the most KH’s possible. I’m Currently pulling around 2.5kh on one card and about 1.8kh on my other card.
I have 2 HD6770’s, is there any way to get more KH’s out of them?
If you’re still having HW / start up problems it might be best to create a .bat file as your first step.
Create a new text document, paste the following into it, add your own worker name and password, save it as a .bat file and place it in your cgminer folder. Use your new .bat file to start cgminer.
color 0A
GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100
GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1
GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE=100
cgminer.exe --algo=neoscrypt -o stratum+tcp://ftceu.nut2pools.com:5567 -u xxxxx.1 -p xxxxxx***color and max heap size are optional btw.
Once you get the miner running and mining with no hw errors copy and paste the following into a new text doc
**{
“pools” : [
{
“url” : “stratum+tcp://ftceu.nut2pools.com:5567”,
“user” : “xxxxx.1”,
“pass” : “xxxxxxxxx”
**}

“scan-time” : “1”,
“tcp-keepalive” : “30”,
“temp-hysteresis” : “3”,
“shares” : “0”,
“kernel-path” : “/usr/local/bin”
}Save the new file as cgminer.conf and place it inside your cgminer folder.
enter in your own engine, clock speeds, temp settings, shaders etc and change the intensity to suit.
Hope it helps.
Ok, i got around to trying you’re method as well, and i inputted the settings that i thought were correct (all i really changed was the thread concurrency to 3200)
It was still trying to hash in MH instead of KH.
Basically the way to create a .conf file is very easy
- step 1: start cgminer with just the pool and user options in the command line
- step 2: increase/decrease the mining intensity by pressing ‘G’ (for GPU) and then ‘I’ for intensity to find the highest setting without or with a small percentage of HW errors
- step3: from main screen of the miner press ‘S’ for settings and ‘W’ for write config. This will create the .conf file in .cgminer directory (Linux) and I think in %appdata%/cgminer for windows.
If that is done, start further tuning by setting the clock rates of your card under the GPU menu or by editing the .conf file.
Sorry for the late reply, been a little busy…
I was finally able to write the .conf file, but when i tried to mine, it’s still hashing in MH instead of KH. Still getting errors.
Not to sure what you mean by – Did you specify the -algo=neoscrypt option?
Check cgmi er for the exact syntax–
I’m really trying to understand this and find my way around it, sorry if I’m becoming a bother.
This is the .conf file that i created, i haven’t changed anything yet.

Thank you so much, I’m currently at work right now, but as soon as I get home I’ll give it a try.
I had another question, notice my hash speed in the screenshot I posted, it’s reading in MH’s instead of KH… Is this happening because I have yet to configure or creat the .conf file?
-----PC Specs-----
GPU (including manufacture): AMD HD6770 (i have two of these installed)
Mining program(s): cgminer-3.7.7b Neoscrypt
Mining Pool: stratum+tcp://ftceu.nut2pools.com:5567
GPU Core Clock: 850
GPU Memory Clock: 1200
Thread Concurrency: I think it’s 3200
Average KH/s: 131
The rest of your miner settings: Don’t have any settings yet
Any thing else you deem important:
The nature of your problem: I need help creating a .conf file for cgminer, i’m new to this and I’ve been
researching on how it’s done but i just can’t figure out what to use for my settings.
Are you getting HW(hardware) errors when mining: Yes
I’m not sure how to set up a .conf file but I’ve seen examples, but I’m not to sure how to do it. If anyone could help me out, i would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in Advance :)
Thanks for the warm welcome guys, really looking forward to being part off this community
If your questions are related to mining, place it in the mining section of the forum, if you have identified a but in the software -miner or wallet- place them intotechnical developement.This gives you the right audience. :D
Thank you for the information, I really appreciate it. I was actually trying to post in the mining section of the forum, but it says I’m still to much of a noob to post there lol
Hello everyone, n00b here from South,Florida :D Just heard about crypto’s about two months ago, been doing research non-stop and managed to start mining LTC with my rig. But I’ve leaned towards FTC. Looking forward to start mining FTC
Just jumped on the Mining Train ;D Currently trying to mine with CGMiner
