Any idea what might be going wrong here? I'm a newbie and just trying this on my existing Windows 10 PC with 16 GB RAM and 1GB Nvidia Geforce 610. I'll eventually get this onto a different platform but just playing around at the moment. I already allocated 16GB virtual storage as was recommended when other's had this basic same error message:

CUDA error - cannot allocate big bugger for DAS, Check readme.txt for possible solutions.
I'm not sure if this card is supported but I didn't see any mention of the minimum video memory size required to run.


It's mentioned A LOT.

You need a 2GB card to mine Ethereum and even then 2GB doesn't work for most cards. The DAG (not DAS) file is too big.

You "might" be able to mine an alternative Dagger/Hashimoto coin like EXP.  See the first post to learn how to change Claymore to mine EXP.

I know you're a new guy but if you want to mine you're going to want to look into newer equipment.
