Step-by-Step: Windows+Nvidia GPU for mining

[Oceanus 7]

1.Download XAYA Electron Wallet and install it.

https://xaya.io/downloads/XAYA-Electron-1.0.0.exe

Type any Address Label and click INSERT  to create a address.

2.Back up wallets

The XAYA electron wallet creates 2 wallets (VAULT + GAME), and after you have encrypted your VAULT you should backup both wallets.

Copy  "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Xaya\wallets"  to a safe place, and don't forget your ENCRYPTED PASSWORD.

2.Download ccminer and unpack it.

https://github.com/tpruvot/ccminer

Click "releases", and download "ccminer-2.3-cuda9.7z" and unpack it.

3.Create "Run-XAYA.cmd" file

Open "README.txt", delete all the text, paste text below and save it as "Run-XAYA.cmd"  in the same dir.

ccminer-x64 -a neoscrypt -o http://127.0.0.1:8396/wallet/game.dat -O __cookie__:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Note: 1. If the name of file ccminer.exe is not ccminer-x64, you need to change it to the other.
           2. You need to change  "__cookie__:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" to yourself. You can find it in the file  "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Xaya\.cookie", open it and copy the text.

4.Click "Run-XAYA.cmd"

Have fun...

Hi thanks for this post,  i'm new to this and have gotten every thing to work up until launching ccminer can any one tell me what i'm missing??? 

[dukemc 1]

How look your .bat file for starting ccminer?  

[snailbrain 83]

if you look it c:\users\<user>\appdata\roaming\xaya\debug.log

when you get that error it will tell you what is wrong

i think ccminer says this if the username and password is incorrect

[casp0or 47]

Maybe I´m wrong ...? but did you took a picture of your screen and painted your password black with a real pen?

if so ... EPIC ? 

 

I use this to start ccMiner on my work PC with wallet online and synced

Quote

./ccminer -a neoscrypt -o http://127.0.0.1:8396/wallet/game.dat -O __cookie__:ULTRA-SECRET-COOKIE

 

EDIT:

Cookie changes every time you restart your wallet!

Got this, when tried to download ccminer-2.3-cuda9.7z

Mining software often triggers malware warnings. You may need to set an exception for it in your anti-virus software. 

It's nothing unusual. If you see that in other software though, then that software may include a miner in it, which you probably don't want.

I think you missed this part (highlighted in yellow above) : 

C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Xaya\.cookie

You need to copy the contents of that file to the xxxxxx part. 

Save it as described above (to a *.cmd file) and then run it, e.g. double-click on it.

Hello! Whenever I launch the "Run-XAYA.cmd" file, I get an error message, I attached a screenshot. I'm new to mining, sorry if this is something simple.

Make sure xaya is running.

When I have Xaya running I get a different error, here's the screenshot:

[DarkClaw 69]

Your user, pass, or something else is wrong. See my earlier post. You should be running something like:

Ccminer-x64.exe -a neoscrypt -o http://127.0.0.1:8396/wallet/game.dat -d gtx1060 -i 21 -u __cookie__ -p xxx

https://forum.xaya.io/topic/65-done-32-bit-running-wallet-qt/?do=findComment&amp;comment=575

I explain the flags, etc in that thread. Note that if you are using the .cookie file for your password it will be reset each time you restart xaya, so you will have to replace it. You can override this user/pass in the electron client under settings -> advanced (although I haven't yet tested if that works myself).

After filling in all the flags, etc I still get the previous error. Here is the code I trying to run:

The device name is probably wrong. I don't know what type of string matching it does but would bet it doesn't like spaces (although not certain). The user name is incorrect unless you've changed some settings. If using the .cookie file then the username is actually "__cookie__", so unless you changed this to be "Andrey __cookie__" in the rpc settings it is wrong. Try this (replace xxx with whatever it says in the cookie file after the colon):

Ccminer-x64.exe -a neoscrypt -o http://127.0.0.1:8396/wallet/game.dat -d gtx1070 -i 21 -u __cookie__ -p xxx

Left it running for  hours a while, balance is still 0. How long does it take to refresh?

What is your hashrate? There is a mining calculator here that lets you estimate how many coins per day you should expect: https://www.xaya-gaming.net/

Any Idea as to why my miner shows null as the block?

This is cgminer, which I havent used, sorry. You can try ccminer if you have an nVidia card (it requires CUDA).  What gpus are those?

I see it says 150.6 kh/s, which would currently get you ~3 coins/day,  but it also says diff 65.5k... I don't know what that refers to since the neoscrypt difficulty is ~ 1.0 and sha256d is ~25,000,000,000. You can check the stats and estimated mining reward here: https://www.xaya-gaming.net/

Im just wondering what the block saying null means

Sorry, nope. Maybe its not finding the blockchain since its only looking at 127.0.0.1? Do you need to add the port? I think the default would be 127.0.0.1:8396. I assume you've got xaya running.

But like I said, no experience with cgminer and dont have an AMD card to test on.
