Topic: Help with BFGMiner and getting started mining on my PC? (Read 274 times)

Hi,

I'm rather new to crypto mining in general. I'm currently working on setting up GPU mining, from my Radeon R9 290X for Creamcoin from the following pool:

stratum+tcp://stratum.chainworksindustries.com:5205

It's just not working. It's repeatedly outputting:

OCL 0: Using work with lower difficulty than device supports
OCL 0: Using work with lower difficulty than device supports
Coinbase check: multiple inputs in coinbase: 0x87
OCL 0: Using work with lower difficulty than device supports
OCL 0: Using work with lower difficulty than device supports
Coinbase check: multiple inputs in coinbase: 0xbc

Etc. At the top of the window, beneath version and manage devices and all that, (all pools are dead)

Beneath that:

 ST:3  F:0  NB:13  AS:0  BW:[ 36/  3 B/s]  E:0.00  BS:8
 1      39.0C | 13.23/ 9.50/ 0.00Mh/s | A:0 R:5+0(100%) HW:0/none
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 OCL 0: 39.0C | 13.20/ 9.50/ 0.00Mh/s | A:0 R:5+0(100%) HW:0/none


My batch file to run the miner consists of exactly the following, of course with personal details redacted:

bfgminer -S opencl:auto -o stratum+tcp://stratum.chainworksindustries.com:5205 -u myusername.minername -p minerpassword

That's it. Am I doing something wrong? Is there an issue with my system? Also, if anyone has a link to a "For dummies" guide on crypto mining in general I would highly appreciate it. Wink
