Visual Guide to Pool Mining using Sgminer

#1
#2

Nice step by step guide. People like visual guides. It’s much easier to figure out what the next step is. :+1:

#3

Its funny because after posting it @ccodam reminded me that i didnt need to define a worker step, it happens automatically if you create it via the .bat file instead of the create in the pool then use it in the .bat file etc.

So i followed your guide but i get this error when i start up.

sgminer-x64’ is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Any ideas??

#5

@themmahippie are you using a 64 bit operating system ? and can you take a screenshot of the directory you are launching the bat file from ?

#6

#7

And your launching by running the eth.cmd file ?

#8

different versions of sgminer can have different config setups.

#9

yes,am i supposed to create a seperate bat file for the command as well?

#10

i downloaded from the poolpage

No, all you need to do is edit the “eth.cmd” file, delete everything in it, then, replace it with the bellow, making sure to update it with your user/pass.

@echo off
echo “starting up sgminer”

@setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
@setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
@setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
@setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

Call :start

pause
GOTO ENDE

:start

@set GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT = 100

sgminer-x64 -k keccak -o stratum+tcp://pool.smartcash.cc:3333 -u youruser -p yourpassword

EXIT /B 0

:ENDE

#12

Which pool are you registered with, the eu-pool or the us-pool ?

#13

imregistered with the us pool

#14

then in the line with the stratum+tcp://pool edit so its pool-us.smartcash.cc:3333 etc

#15

when finished save the file, exit notepad, then run the file, all should work then.

#16

theuser and passwrd are fromthe pool correct? u- hollywood.rig1 -p x

#17
