Topic: --scrypt slowing my hash rate (Read 834 times)
so i guess its no use i even try mining with that khz rate
im sorry but since im a newbie i dont know what you mean by #
When you reply there are some icons above the text box. It's the one with # = Insert Code
It's so you can type stuff, like programming code, without it being it being effected by the forum format like strikethrough.
I typed
Code:
I typed [S] = strikethrough
There are two types of crypto currencies. sha256 and scrypt based.
Bitcoin supports sha256 which is calculated in mh/s
litecoin supports scrypt which is calculated in kh/s
If you are mining currency that supports sha256, then don't add scrypt to cgminer.
If you are mining scrypt based currency, you would definitely add scrypt to cgminer.
There is nothing difference between mh/s and kh/s while mining two currencies of different paradigm.

Sorry about the lines through the text, don't know why it did that
Because you didn't use the # Insert Code marker around the text.
--scrypt is for making litecoins it's a different algorithm it's normal that you get a lower hash speed with it.

Hi There,
I have been playing around with cgminer for the last week, and i notice as soon as i add --scrypt to my cgminer command line my hash rate goes from mhz to khz.
Without --scrypt
command line C:\miner\cgminer-3.7.2-windows\cgminer -o http://cryptopools.com:3334 -u username -p password --gpu-platform 0 -d 0 -w 256 -v 1 -I 8 -g 1 -l 1 --thread-concurrency 1600
This is what i get:

The hash rate just went down to khz but output is not staying on 0 which results in "rejected share is above target" which i believe means the hash rate is to slow.
