What are these options?(LTC mining)

[technovore]

Hi, I've recently gotten into LTC mining and it seems to work, but I was wondering what these options were.

• Extra flags
• thread Concurrency
• Vectors
• GPU threads
• Stratum
• Worksize
• Intensity
• GPU defaults
  
  
   

Many thanks!

(btw sorry i cant provide an explanation for the questions, im kinda new at this too)

 

Dont use GUIMiner when u start mining. cgminer is much better and shows more stuff, like HW errors. Super important. HW means Hardware.

 

If u have alot of hardware errors, that means u are pushing ur GPU to the point where it gets incorrect calculations, which will degrade your GPU overtime. 

So with cgminer, if it tells u u have HW errors, u can easily change settings to make your HW count stay at 0.

if you look closely, it's actually a GUI version of CGminer.

but it indeed doesn't show any HW errors.

so if I were to start using a CLI version(I think you're referring to that), how do I start using a CLI CGMINER?

edit: is this what you mean?

here's some basic CLI settings might be better to do some googleing though

 

cgminer -o url -u user -p pass --gpu-engine XXX --gpu-fan 55 etc

save it as a cgminer.bat then you can just run that file and you will have all your commands input.

I personally prefer using fan settings from MSI Afterburner

Answers to what all those settings do can be found in the CGminer Readme. GUI miner is just a miner running on top of CGminer, it also includes a couple other miners. You're better off using CGminer directly in my opinion.

If you choose to mine using CGminer you will need to do so using a batch file. You can create them in notepad then changing it to a .bat file.

This quick guide should help you get started
