Hi Kartoffel,

Scrypt isn't a good algorithm for GPU mining. The algorithm was taken over by ASICs, and you can earn less than a tenth of a cent per day by mining scrypt, if you ever find a share on that algorithm.

Instead, I suggest that you mine an algorithm where GPUs can be profitable. Ethash is an example of an algorithm where both GPUs and ASICs can both be competitive.

Hello,

I am using ASIC miners (Moonlander2) and was doing fine with BFG miner, but I'm also not getting "Need more shares".
