Been trying to mine feathercoin with no luck whatsoever. Downloaded the cgminer_neo from the getting started page. After figuring out that the included cgminer.conf file points to ifc instead of ftc and getting that fixed I get nothing for several minutes then cgminer has stopped responding. It does try to mine with a hasrate of around 650k just never gets a share (accepted, rejected or anything) just messages about new blocks. I tried the cgminer version lucazane linked to a few posts up but that one is even worse. Either the gpu's fail to initialize with a -5x (something like -52 or -56) error or it starts and slows my entire pc down to a crawl. Imagine your desktop as a video game at < 1fps. I have no issues mining other scrypt or keccak coins using either bfgminer or the appropriate cgminer for the keccak. Is there a different version of cgminer that might work?
You may find better version and config here :
https://forum.feathercoin.com/index.php?/topic/7780-neoscrypt-gpu-miner-public-beta-test/Just wanted to get some clarification on the new CGB pool. Might want to check your "Getting Started" links because it's pointing to instructions for Neoscrypt.
Um, yeah, gonna need a port for that, assuming it's stratum.cgb.theblocksfactory.com
stratum.dgb.theblocksfactory.com:3337
I will update that.
I hopped on here for awhile to try and mine some feathercoin, but I routinely see messages:
[2014-11-01 21:42:17] Waiting for work to be available from pools.
[2014-11-01 21:42:17] Work available from pools, resuming.
This is using cgminer 3.7.7.b., everything else seems to work great; not a lot of rejects, hw errors, or anything else that seems to indicate a problem.
Anyone know where this server is located? Not sure if it is just latency to the server or some setting I have wrong. Seems to work fine otherwise, just these message every few minutes.
Server is in France.
I don't think it's a settings problem.
Maybe a connection problem.
