What issue? You seem to think there is one, when the issue is you are using crap hardware.

You are mining a multipool, which uses a payout pattern that will not favor your gnats fart of a hashrate. I'm sorry, but that is just the way it is.

Don't know why I get involved in these threads. I'd make more a day wandering around looking for pennies on the ground Roll Eyes

lol I understand this but I plan on using my current laptop as the "Controller" for my USB Farm I plan on setting up but thats neither here nor there even if i can get 20 KH/s from this card it'll double my current output of about 7-10 KH/s with my shitty CPU lmao now remember this will not be my main method of mining it is just a rather annoying issue that I ran into doing proof of concept testing and it's quickly becoming an obsession to solve this issue lol

Sounds about right to me, that GPU is worse than many CPUs.

"pure profit" on a few pennies is still a few pennies, and I'm talking $0.10/24hr from 20kh. I can guarantee, without a doubt, that you could make more selling the laptop than it will ever generate.

Yes it is a laptop shortening its lifespan isn't too bad cause it is already three years old and I am looking to buy a new one and electricity is currently (get it? current?) free so whatever it produces for now will be pure profit difficulty on multipool is set to 64 but in cgminer it says network difficulty is 1.23k and I already experimented with leaving it running all night and it never produced anything like I said it isn't accepting any blocks to work on just scrolling (and heres the updated cause it has since changed what it is repeating) New Block detected on network before longpoll; stratum from pool 0 requested work restart; network diff set to 1.23k; and then starts scrolling stratum from pool 0 detected new block and it just continues displaying these messages over and over and over ad infinitum never actually aceppting any work or getting any valid share

That sounds as if it working correctly. What do you have your share diff set to on multipool for that worker? I would set it at 32 as that is the minimum.

Let it run for a while and check multipool and see if there is progress listed under round shares or hashrate under active workers. That card is so slow it will take time to see any progress at all.

Here is your disclaimer:
Since you said 6300M I am assuming this is a laptop. This will user more electricity than it can possibly profit, and will create a lot of heat and stress on the laptop shortening it's lifespan.

Other than that have fun learning!

Ok I know my GPU isn't anywhere near good enough to do serious mining but I figured it's better than CPU mining, I'm new to the whole mining thing and while I'm just starting I am trying to use what I have available. anyway I have a ATI HD 6300M and I have tried using cgminer 3.6.0, 3.6.6 and 3.7.2 with multiple Driver versions 12.4, 12.6 12.8 and 13.11 and my batch file is cgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://us-east.multipool.us:7777 -u XXXX.XXXX -p XXXX.

When cgminer starts it cranks up connects and tells me that my GPU is running at anywhere from 20KH/s to ~15 MH/s depending on what I tweak the intensity to within cgminer. cgminer just continuously scrolls "Stratum from Pool 0 detected new block" without accepting any work or contributing any Work Units. can anyone please help me?
