Prohashing Mining Pool Forums

Hi,
I'm using pooler-cpuminer-2.5.0-win64 with config I just started to play around crypto. Miner seems to be working, it's visible on site, but for a few hours I had no valid shares. I tried some other pools with minersgate and some monero miners and they submit a lot of valid shares even with my weak ~100H/s. Maybe I just don't understand something, but reading help and FAQ gets me nowhere.
Any ideas?

not enough details... what algo are you trying to mine, what username/ password arguments are you using

Username is my prohashing.com login, password is just empty "", so scrypt should be my algoryth by default. I just went with basic setup from "Get Started". Also tried using password "a=" (same result) and "a=scrypt" (can't even connect).

what build of minerd are you using, because i see you are not specifying a algorythm to use in the miner software config

I'm not sure if I understand you correctly, but trying my best. I went here: https://github.com/pooler/cpuminer then downloaded pooler-cpuminer-2.5.0-win64.zip from Downloads link (readme). That was the first page when i googled "scrypt cpu miner". Hope that helps

try adding --algo=scrypt to your config

Nothing changes, miner visible on website, no valid shares. edit: 1 valid share after 4h of mining with ~200Kh/s? Thats just weird. Everything seems fine according to many guides. Help section is very good but lacks very basic info for beginners. What miners should we use (maybe with github links), how to set them up and some examples of working configs.

If you have 4 miner threads, and each is making less than 20 khash/s.
How are you getting ~200KH/s?

isn't that 80 khash/s?

sounds right for 200kh/s as you submit more shares ph will adjust difficulty and it will get sooner.. cpu mining isnt worth the eletricity

Greg am I not counting the khash correctly?

Is that really only 60-80 khash/s or is it 200?
If so how do you add it up or what factor do i have to multiply to figure out the real hashrate from what shows on the output?
