To the best of my knowledge, BFGMiner does NOT support the X11 Algo, which is what this coin is.  BFGMiner supports SHA256 & Scrypt only, unless you have a modified version.  You need a copy of SGMiner v5 or better.

Think for yourself
Out of curiosity are people not replying because they don't know? Don't care? Is this a dumb question?

Probably because your not posting in the support thread for the software your using.

And asking altcoin questions in the Bitcoin section.

I've posted this in the support group for the software, as well as in the altcoin section. No replies in either of those locations.

Well, it sounds like you got most of your bases covered.  Does this pool have a support thread in the altcoin section?  It may be a pool issue as well.

Hi,

I'm rather new to crypto mining in general. I'm currently working on setting up GPU mining from my Radeon R9 290X. I'll be mining 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
