Need help with .conf file

[bobhays]

So I am trying to get into mining dogecoins and finally set everything up and joined the doge.hashfaster pool. The problem I am facing is when I try to actually start mining, I can't get cgminer to start. I had a no gpu found error but fixed that by using 3.7.2 cgminer. Now I get errors saying couldn't run configuration file or I get fata json error depending on what I change. I have no idea what to do because i'm a noob in the mining scence. Does anybody have any idea's what to do?

P.S i have a 7870 and am running windows 8.

cgminer -I 18 -g 1 -w 256 --thread-concurrency 15232 -o stratum+tcp://stratumserver.com:port -u Username.worker -p Password

Put that in a .bat (make a TXT file, then rename it Something.bat) in the cgminer folder, fill in the stratum server, port, and your login.

IM SO DUMB!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe it..... what I was doing before also works (so does yours) but I just forgot to change to .bat after every edit....

Ok now I'm getting a thing that said fatal json error when I added your code, but when I put the code from the pool's getting started guide, it said failed to join a pool

I found out that if I double click the .bat file (not the .exe file) then something happens but it seems wrong, this is what I get

The hash rating is in Megahashes and I only have a single 7870. Using GPU-Z I can see that my GPU utilization goes up to around 65% so I know that it is doing something, but on the pool website it says I am doing 0 hashes.

Not sure if you seen this yet but..

This is how I started and I'm doing great. Not running into any problems... (:

cgminer -I 18 -g 1 -w 256 --thread-concurrency 15232 -o stratum+tcp://stratumserver.com:port -u Username.worker -p Password

Put that in a .bat (make a TXT file, then rename it Something.bat) in the cgminer folder, fill in the stratum server, port, and your login.

 

 

I looked at that and the bat file doesn't work with that. It only works with what rankupgamer told me to put in. The problem is I'm getting results that are triple what it should be, and my pool isn't recognizing it.

When I use the .exe file I get this message

Can you tell me the code for the .bat file you are using? 

[bobhays]

cgminer -I 18 -g 1 -w 256 --thread-concurrency 15232 -o stratum+tcp://stratum-us.doge.hashfaster.com:3339 -u username.username -p password

 

(with my worker info in place)

idk, maybe try 

 

cgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://stratum-us.doge.hashfaster.com:3339 -u username.username -p password -I 18 -g 1 -w 256 --thread-concurrency 15232

 

Mostly the same but give it a try. Just a reminder. This is for the .bat.

I tried using GUI Miner since it had presets, and it's working, but it only shows 283 kh/s even though I have a 7870 which according to others should be closer to 400. And the pool only sees about 180-230kh/s

 

EDIT:  I just tried what you posted and it's working too, but it shows 300 kh/s but now about 260 are recognized out of the 400 i should be getting. Any idea why this is?

Try this:

cgminer -I 18 -g 1 -w 256 --thread-concurrency 12000 -o stratum+tcp://stratumserver.com:port -u Username.worker -p Password

And to start you will need to doubleclick the bat. Also, what pool you at? you need to fix the stratum server and port to the right ones first.

im using doge.hashfaster.com, and the bat is working fine, but it's just at 300kh/s

 

EDIT: and the code you just posted didn't work but the one before this did.
