FYI, if you look at blocksuckernation website, it says you need to specify the stratum as:

-o stratum+tcp://old.blocksuckernation.com:

So your file needs to be:

ccminer -a nist5 -o stratum+tcp://old.blocksuckernation.com:3833 -u WALLET ADDRESS -p c=BWK
pause

(give that a try in case you get errors)

too bad you don't pay in btc :p

I don't run a pool. I'm just trying to help.

I apologize as I made a major screw up. I thought I had extracted the bulwark ccminer but it was the monero ccminer. Now that I fixed that, the command works BUT I am unable to connect to the pool. Always get an error stratum connection failed and it retries every 30 seconds to no avail. No antivirus. Could it be the Windows Firewall?

Yeah I created a .txt file and then changed the extension to a .bat file.

Oh alright, I think the first part is what I'm missing. Thanks.

Give it a try and let me know, I can still help before I go sleep.

Better paste the contents of your batch file here so we can take a look.

Alright, so first of, I downloaded the ccminer. Then I downloaded bulwark 1.2.0 which has an exe that is seemingly my Bulwark wallet. I copied the address from there.

I extracted the ccminer content and created a .txt file with the following command -o stratum+tcp://blocksuckernation.com:3833 -u WALLET ADDRESS -p c=BWK.

I saved it as a .bat file. and simply named it "mining".

I then launched cmd prompt and changed the directory to where my mining.bat is located and simply entered the file name "mining" in order to run it but it says the command is not recognized.

I figured I must be doing something wrong so I launched the ccminer exe I downloaded from the Bulwark instruction page and it does launch but then appears to connect to a monero mining pool.

Needless to say I'm a complete noob at this but I did read several guides online to try and understand what I'm doing and the intricacies.

Ah ok, all clear now. Just as zorachus99 said, you're not understanding the instructions.

1. You need to create a .bat file, not a .txt file. Rename your .txt to .bat

2. The line you pasted are just the arguments, you still need to add the ccminer command and the algo in front. So it would be:

ccminer -a nist5 -o stratum+tcp://blocksuckernation.com:3833 -u WALLET ADDRESS -p c=BWK
pause

(yes, add pause on another line right after the command)

3. Now you should have a mining.bat file ready to be executed.

Edit: Tried adding ccminer -anist5 at the beginning of the script and same issue.

I followed all the insturctions to mine Bulwark but for some odd reason, when I launch the exe file, it connects to an xmr mining pool which I believe is Supernova.

There is a difference between following instructions and understanding them. Learn what your wallet address and your stratum address are, and then modify your config.

I understand the script that was given. I entered my Bulwark addressed in the appropriate area along with the pool address and port number and everything else. I saved it as a .bat file in the same directory as the exe and launched it but the command line always starts up connecting to a monero pool. No idea why.

I also launched the .bat file but it closes down right away as soon as I opened it. Instead I launched the ccminer exe which does work but connects to something I don't want.

This is what I followed:

Dude. Do you know Windows at all?

Open a command prompt first, then navigate to the directory with your batch file and execute it there. Do not just double click it from Windows Explorer.

If you don't provide details, you can't be helped. What instructions did you follow? And if you followed them right you should be running a batch file, not an exe file. This already shows you didn't follow instructions...

hi, how much i need to run good 12gpu of GIGABYTE GEFORCE GTX1070 8GB? How much good to go?

1. This thread is SPECIFICALLY TITLED: " 1080Ti Specific ". NOT 1070.

2. How much what? Space? Money? Power? Skill? Unicorns?

Im very sorry.
Power.
How much power (W) i need to run all these gpu
Again sorry.

Simple math. A 5 second google search shows that a 1070 TDP is about 150w. So, at 100% TDP it's 150w x12 as a minimum. You will want to add 30% as a buffer for efficiency.

This is why miners who set up a GPU farm use multiple PSUs.

My computer suddenly started to power off after about two hours of mining. Start back up it works ok for a couple hours then same thing.

I've dialed back the core to zero and memory is at -400. TDP is at 60 on one card 80 on the other. Temps are fine. Ccminer mining zcoin.

Power supply or motherboard most likely? Seasonic platinum 850w. Motherboard is a msi tomahawk b350. The two 1080ti are not in sli.

I got the exact same issue and my power supply is also 850W and I also have two 1080 Ti's. I was sure it was the motherboard but it also might be the PSU.

bsod.pw is the best pool for BWK now.
Umine steals users coins.

I tried it for a while, but I think due to a combination of Nist5 high solution rate + high latency the pool is to unstable to get a constant hashrate.
Had to switch to another pool "poolofd32th.club" (somwhere in Germany), hoping that others will join me.

Where are you from?

I heard that poolofd32th didn't pay coins for NeoDash(new neoscrypt coin) mining.

do u have wattmeter? 2 1080tis with such TDP will use about 400-500W max. +100-150W motherboard+CPU. Power supply looks nice too, but to test - remove 1 card and start mining without another changes.

I'm mining lyra2z and killawatt said around 450w power draw for the whole system with both GPU running.

One of the two GPU tested fine and ran yesterday afternoon and all night. I have removed it and put the other back in. Testing that one now. If it tests OK then I may have to try a power supply. I can get a evga 850w gold for 149$ off amazon to try.
