Wanted to put in my 2 cents worth mining UTC with nvidia 740m card using cudaminer.
Backround: Im a total newbie mining coins and was unable to mine UTC using cgminer (though Ive used it for other coins).
Cuda seems to have added scrypt-jane support with the 2-2-14 version, which I am using. Using the 64-bit model, with parameters:
cudaminer --algo=scrypt-jane:UTC -L 2 -o stratum+tcp://ultra.leetpools.com:3333 -O u.u:p
At (obviously leetpools mining pool) I was able to achieve about 55kh/sec. Without the L parameter I was only getting 40-47kh/sec. GPU temp running at about 75 degrees.
Mainly Im posting this to (hopefully) help other newbies who were having no luck at all with cgminer. All I could get were erroneous numbers that I was mining at 11mh/sec, and it only was accessing the intel-integrated video drive (or whatever you call it), instead of accessing my actual video card (the nvidia 740m). All of my shares were rejected and it just didnt work at all plus it was using 20 watts of power.
Using Cuda miner, Im getting 99% accepted shares UTC, its using 5 watts of power, and while Ive only gotten a coin or two so far, at least its working.

Question: does anyone know if the "block erupter" usb chips on amazon might be good for UTC being its scrypt-jane? I heard they were good for feathercoins using normal scrypt. Thanks!
