seems like a good idea if we all stick with mining drk coin on pool666.com
Configuring SGMINER
Extract the downloaded zip-file wherever you want on your computer. Once you have a sgminer folder,
you can start preparing your BATCH file. This will start the miner along with your desired configuration
proper to the mining hardware you are using.
Open NOTEPAD, and start creating your batch executable. Some fields will require modifications; we will
cover that after this step.
Start by pasting the following
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
sgminer.exe --kernel darkcoin -o stratum+tcp://stratum1.suchpool.pw:3344 -u
USERNAME.WORKERNAME -p WORKERPASSWORD --thread-concurrency 8192 -I 13 --lookup-gap 2 --
worksize 256 -g 1 --gpu-engine 1160 --gpu-memclock 1450
for some reason it works better for me when i removed the x11 part
You will need to replace USERNAME.WORKERNAME with the username and worker you have setup
earlier on the pool. Returning to our example, we would be entering “-u joeblow.123 -p pass1”
The thread-concurrency, I, lookup-gap, workersize, g, gpu-engine and gpu-memclock settings will differ
depending on the model of video card you are using for mining. Use the table below to find basic
settings for different types of cards.
Save the .txt file as ”sgstart.bat” and make sure to save it in your SGMINER’s folder. You can create a
shortcut from there to your desktop, but the BATCH file has to be in sgminer’s folder. Now that you are
all set, you can start mining! Simply double click your sgstart.bat file and enjoy mining X11!
Compared to scrypt, x11 has increased hashrate so what you want to aim for is;
R9 290x ~ 2.7Mh/s
R9 290 ~ 2.5Mh/s
R9 280x/ HD7970 ~ 2.3Mh/s
R9 270x/HD7950 ~ 1.4Mh/s
Mining software
In order to mine X11 coins, you will need to use a compatible mining software. They recommend using
sph-sgminer 4.1.0 and up, as it supports the darkcoin (x11) kernel.
Here is a couple of links where you can grab SPH-SGMINER and download it to your PC:
