Thanks for the answers. Is SHA256D mined exactly like SHA256 or is there some difference in the mining process ?

Sha256d is typically known as double sha256 hash algorithm.

SHA-256d hash is achieved by applying the regular SHA-256 hash twice, by first applying SHA-256 hash to the data and then once again to the resulting hash. But does not use the hard memory schemes, such as ethereum does for example.

The cryptocurrencies that use the SHA-256d algorithm are Freicoin, Namecoin and Peercoin.

Hope this answers your question.

My advice is to go to their threads and ask. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-cudaminer-ccminer-cuda-based-mining-applications-windowslinuxmacosx-167229
From what I've read it may be CUDAminer the one with sha256 support, but that's the nvidia community, they can give you better advices.

Aa others said, sha256 mining is not worth to be done on GPU. Power consumption is too big and you compete with ASICs.

More precisely. You can't compete with ASICs, so you're wasting your GPU for no gain.

AFAIK ccminer should be able to do sha256d. So put sha as algorithm, change pool url, username and password and it should work

unknown parameter sha
is what it says when I start

And with what config are you trying to mine DEM? Also I recommend mining a different algo and selling it to buy DEM since mining sha with GPU is basically useless.

It is not about making money, it is to get it running for someone.

From what I remeber, ccminer may not know sha256d.
The list of algos for ccminer is here https://github.com/tpruvot/ccminer/blob/windows/README.txt

Maybe you need another miner software?

Vanilla (Blake256 8-rounds - double sha256)
Is this Vanilla a combination between (Blake256 8-rounds - double sha256) if yes than I need another software any idea what is working ?

Hi I am running a Geforce GTX 780 ti , installed the latest driver and cuda. I am using ccminer which seems to work well if I mine with the ccminer conf. data. I tried to mine DEM deutsche emark and signed up with Suprnova. Somehow I am not able to configure the config file properly. Is there anyone who can help.
Thanks
