Prohashing Mining Pool Forums

I've had this running for like 10 hours but it hasn't shown any updates or anything on the website. Just that im connected and calc hashrate. That's about it.

I kind of feel like my gpu is going full speed for nothing

Hi. Unfortunately, your gpu is going full speed for nothing. We are a scrypt mining pool, and your GPU is mining X13, so you are not submitting any valid shares to show on the website. You will need to join an X13 pool to earn money with your GPU.

okay.. so I downloaded cgminer 4.9
{
"pools" : [
{
"url" : "stratum+tcp://prohashing.com:3333",
"user" : "tcrackerx",
"pass" : "d=4096 h=2"
}
],

"failover-only" : true,
"scrypt" : true,
"no-submit-stale" : true,
"api-listen" : true,
"api-port" : "4028",
"api-allow" : "W:192.168.1.0/24,W:127.0.0.1"
}


I got scrypt= true on there but I'm not sure. I can't seem to get this to work no matter what I try lol

Hi tcrackerx,
you have to chose another software to mine script coins. cgminer 4.9 doesn't support gpu/script mining since version 3.7.2.
Please have a look at the wiki https://litecoin.info/Mining_software. Not sure if this site is still up to date.
Cheers,

hmm. I tried a few of them using the Scrypt algorithm it seems to be doing the same thing. http://imgur.com/a/PsYTP

I think it's working properly, but I'm not entirely sure. Your hashrate is very low, lower than we have used to test our own server. I think you aren't getting any shares because the pool's default difficulty is too high for such a low hashrate, but given enough mining time, you will get a few per day.

Scrypt mining has moved away from GPUs for a few years now as specialized, very efficient, very powerful ASICs have taken over the mining market. I doubt you will make enough money with a GPU mining scrypt to even cover the cost of electricity. My suggestion if you are trying to make money is to use your GPU to mine Ethereum on another pool. There is still lots of money to be made mining Ethereum with a GPU, which I can't say about scrypt.

Cool man, thanks I'll look into it. I'm just glad I figured something out for once. Lol
https://m.newegg.com/Product/index?item ... lsrc=aw.ds would something like this be worth it or is it to cheap?

Unfortunately, that miner is SHA-256, and therefore can only be used to mine bitcoins and other SHA-256 coins. You'll need to specifically search for a "scrypt miner."

Everywhere I read it seems like Scrypt Mining isn't worth it anymore is that true?
