@Minerjoe thank you i will take a look at your link

@grouper fish i've never used cpu for minning we need other different type of configuration, and about electricity it's ok we have solar panel system in the building where i live

You can try cpu mining on monero, seems like the most profitable for cpu currently.

thanks i will try

thanks for the links

is there anything i can change in the cgminer setup i posted earlier to improve it ?

Try googling for the right settings that go with your card. Because I have no idea.
Ow and look for a miner that is specific for nvidea cards.

Consider coins that don't have much of a gpu advantage like Quarazcoin: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-qcn-quazarcoin-full-privacydata-protection-egalitarian-pow-600658 or monero: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/xmr-monero-a-secure-private-untraceable-cryptocurrency-583449

I don't mine any of them for I have an Scrypt asic.

You can always let a few CPU cores mine while you do other things, but for pure mining it might be hard to get the cost for electricity back.

Setting the config file is for solo mining only. Works the same for all coin wallets, only the port settings might be different.
I don't recommend mining solo unless you have a rediclious amount of hashing power on hand.

The cgminer setup you post is basic and correct, but does depent on algorithm and on what type of CPU/GPU/ASIC you are using to mine a specific coin.

thank you emdje for your answer
im using gpu
my computer is asus Intel Core i7 microprocessor / graphic card nividia geforce GTX760

Sorry to tell u this but your machine is junk for mining. You will not be able to cover pay for the electricity spend with coins you mine. GPU mining was profitable about a year ago it is not anymore.
Nowdays you can either go for cloud mining, take a look at my signature for more info, or buy yourself an ASIC miner. You just cant make money unless you invest a lot of money. This is true for BTC as any other real business. Let me know if you need more help and good luck.

hey guys please i want to learn how to mine i found this on BCT
does this tut work for all coins ?
thank you

TUT

1.Download the wallet

2.Set config file in .../appdata/roaming/coin like

coin.conf

rpcuser=user
rpcpassword=pw
rpcport=12345
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
server=1
daemon=1
listen=1
addnode=.............
addnode=.............

3.set config of cgminer(blake)

{
"pools" : [
   {
   "url" : "http:......",
   "user" : "user",
   "pass" : "pw"
   }
],

"intensity" : "11",
"auto-gpu" : true,
"expiry" : "10",
"failover-only" : true,
"gpu-threads" : "1",
"log" : "5",
"no-restart" : true,
"queue" : "5",
"scan-time" : "1",
"worksize" : "128",
"temp-hysteresis" : "4",
"blake256" : true,
"vectors" : "1",
"kernel-path" : "/"
}
