I LOOKED UP THE CARD MODEL--

With that generation of card, any model lesser than a GTX 750 was designated with only a "GT" prefix.  If there is a problem with the mining code in the Windows version, the problem is beyond me.

The GT 730 is a low-profile, low-energy, and low-cost card.  Conceivably, it could be utilized in a rack-mount system.  Still, it is an older card.  I have a PNY GT9800+ (top of  the model line) that will mine scrypt at 14kh/s, but the CPU on my mobile phone will do it faster, and at the risk of catching fire in my pocket.

A rack of 36 GT 730 cards may cost less than $3000, and run on household current.  Would it be worth it?  I don't know.  I wasn't able to find a hashrate/reward calculator after a quick search.       --scryptr

thats how it looks when an GT730 works on Linux with CUDA 8.0 , Driver :375.39
Power Consumtion around 40Watts
arch 3.5
GK208
isnt that old  but more for office use  but you can mine too on them , sure another cards are more powerfull compared to them

THE GTX 730 IS AN OLD CARD--

There are older CudaMiner softwares that may work on the GTX 730 card.  But, as previously posted on this page, a GTX 750ti would be a better choice.  The Maxwell series chips (750ti) brought in a new era.  I believe that the 730 is a Kepler chip.  You will need an older software, and it will be less efficient.  Likely, it will cost more in electricity than any income generated by the older, smaller card.

A new, or new-old-stock, or used 750ti is still a good investment.  I haven't purchased a GTX 1050ti, but it is likely a good starter card.  I earned a LiteCoin with a GTX 550ti using CBuchner's CudaMiner.  it took several weeks, and was worth $20 or so at the time (2014).       --scryptr

Trying to get this to work on Nvidia GT730 Cuda 8.0 information below... Any help would be greatly appreciated.. No matter which pool i choose i can't get any of them to work. Please help...

btw nist5 isn't working, getting invalid argument...

yep sorry, but even a 750Ti do 2x better with 10x less watts... So please.. save a panda and stop trying to mine with that

:-)

"im in the regret to inform you that your cards are from another century"

I am new to mining with Linux.  I am using Ubuntu 16.04  with a GTX 570 and I am getting the following error.  Does anyone have any idea what I did wrong?  Thanks in advance for your help.

:::::Update:::::
 I read posts above and using the compatability guide, I was able to get it working. 

https://github.com/tpruvot/ccminer/wiki/Compatibility
says for GeForce GTX 560 Ti   2.1   
nvcc_ARCH += -gencode=arch=compute_20,code=\"sm_21,compute_20\"
should be added?
Or only
nvcc_ARCH = -gencode=arch=compute_20,code=\"sm_21,compute_20\"
should be added and uncommented?

==========================================

compiled with only one line uncommented:

no more errors.

thanks!

Pile of Shit, not Proof of Stake. ~_~

While the calculators are wrong, I'm going to reiterate that I still don't know if this is being caused by there not being any good pools available or the coin just being really bad. That's why it would've been nice if Epsylon put up a Zcoin pool as I assume the pool would be good.

Monacoin is another one that has similiar issues, all the pools suck or the coin itself really sucks and it's hard to get a consistent payout and earnings from it.

@joblo - I have never had it explained to me like that before.  That makes a world of sense now.  Thank you so much for the insight! - pokeytex

zcoin mining calculator is just wrong, you just get 50% less, so its not profitable to mine, its being ruled by huge AWS farms still

ZCoin is not PoS.

Zcoin is a PoS. If you're talking about Suprnova, you'll never get normal speed there and it'll payout half of what it says it should. Not sure if it's the pool or the coin. I don't mine on Suprnova if I can all but help it. Zpool is in the same boat, only worse. Really wish Epsylon would put up a ZXC pool.

Mismatched hashrates can result from wrong target/difficulty/bits calculation by the miner or the pool.
Then there are duplicate shares, stale shares, etc.
Can't even count all the possible causes.
