How did you sort the issue chowderman?
What are you using currently (which tool) to mine?

I am getting 8 digit-hashes and GPU #0: (null)
Others see a Graphics card name.
I also don't see a "yay" :-(

I agree

It came when I was messing around with stuff, trying to adapt other miners to other things. But my current tool is BAMT, i use a special LTC-scrypt designed version. https://forum.litecoin.net/index.php/topic,2924.0.html which is also updated for 7000 series gpus. its pretty powerful.

I had something similar happen, its where the miner connects, and its hashing, but its not actually working.

I have had it happen with cpu and gpu.

Anywya, hope its real numbers for you.

I know! Right?

Found blocks Current shares Score Last share at Mhash/s*

It's all showing - and 0. It's already been an hour !!

I'll keep it running for 4 - 5 hours and check with the Pool Dashboard if my workers have generated anything.
Hope checking after 4 - 5 hours is a normal thing and generally does generate some cracked hash value.
My system is seriously slow coz of cgminer on one worker and cudaminer on another.

i think it's not correct, too much hash

I have a single nVidia GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 on Windows 8
I understand GUI miner supports only OpenCL so I am using cudaminer (which I got working after overcoming a few hurdles since nVidia somehow ignores old cards in newer driver files available for downloads]
Anwyays,
cudaminer.exe says :

Code:

[2113-05-14 2:35:18] 1 miner threads started, using 'sha256d' algorithm.
[2113-05-14 2:35:19] Long-polling activated for http://xx.xx.xx:nnnn

[2113-05-14 2:41:39] GPU #0: (null), 10750290 hashes, 762.23 khash/s

But GPUShark says:

Code:

GPU and memory usage
- GPU: 0.0%, max: 0.0%
- GPU memory: 66.5%
- GPU memory controller: 0.0%

So I have 2 questions:

1. Am I making cudaminer.exe use CUDA or atleast the GPU's single GPU cycle or no??
2. Frankly I have never seen 3-digit khash/sec in my life until now! Can I use CUDA with some tool supporting scrypt for mining Litecoins ?

Thanks.
