Hi all !

i'm new ( and french so sorry for my bad english ).

I start with cpu and gpu mining program MinerGate. They use cryptonight .

I bought GekkoScience Compac BM1384.
I download cgminer-gekko-win32
working very well at pool BitcoinCZ

At minerGate
They said we can use alternative program like ccminer

ex: ccminer -a cryptonight -o stratum+tcp://mro.pool.minergate.com:45560 -u YOUR_EMAIL -p x

It (cgminer-gekko-win32) dont know -a cryptonight and i think it's important ( lol )

My question is here .

Can i use cgminer-gekko-win32 for cryptonight at MinerGate.

Tank you for your help ! Huh

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/CryptoNight its a different computational cryptography for mining, so it is unsuitable for the SHA256 processing cores in the ASIC. looks like cryptonight is designed for CPUs with 2MB of L2 cache and random number generator.

ccminer is a different program to cgminer, also the "-a" switch is for algorithm change.

So basically, No, you cannot use the BM1384 ASIC for other algorithms.
