Re: [ANN] cudaMiner - a new litecoin mining application [Windows/Linux]
Would the author consider talking to Luke-Jr about adding CUDA support to bfgminer?

At the moment it seems more likely that I will be pushing forward with new features to cudaminer, and leave it to someone else to merge CUDA code into cgminer or bfgminer.
NOTE: OC support for Linux is somewhat likely to come, so serious miners won't be stuck having to run Windows
for very long.
Failover and monitoring is on my agenda. Does anyone have links to documentation of the established hardware monitoring APIs?

Fair enough, I understand the want to make your own mining program.
To me, a non-programmer, it would make sense to merge your code in to something that's already a solid, stable, well supported program that already has all that groundwork done. To me, you're reinventing the wheel.
Christian's code is open source, if anyone wants to fold it into their project, there is nothing stopping them. As it stands, cudaminer is already solid, stable and well supported that has a ton of great groundwork and a massive following of appreciative users.
Like Christian, I code at my day job and work on open source stuff at home for fun. I've been doing it for well over a decade now and the operative word is fun. I make a little cash on donations but if I didn't enjoy it, I wouldn't do it.

I don't think you have all the NVidia drivers installed. You're probably either running the stock windows drivers or you didn't install PhysX. Hit up their site, download the GeForce experience thing under drivers and do a full install, that should sort you out. I wouldn't expect too much out of a mobile card though. Also, you can just do -d 0 or -d 1 but I'd be shocked if it picked up on the onboard graphics.
I am new to this world of virtual coins, but I am a Software Engineer.
I am having trouble launching the program, the x64 binary provided. I use the following command line:
cudaminer -d gt555m -C 2 -i 0 -o stratum+tcp://coinotron.com:3334 -O user.worker:password
and I get this:

[2014-02-19 17:01:32] Unable to query CUDA driver version! Is an nVidia driver installed?
I believe this is due to the Laptop specs, it has both a NVidia GT55M 2GB and a Intel card. I have set the NVidia card to be the default card but it does not seem to be enough. I can't disable the Intel Card. I have a Lenovo ideapad Y570, is a fairly good and powerful laptop, I would like to get some juice out of it.
Any ideas? I am ready to donate my first Litecoin to the right answer
thanks!

I've found that I can go from 65 MH to 102 MH mining Maxcoins if I just open an avi in VLC player and put it on repeat. It doesn't need to be fullscreen or anything, I usually just minimize it.
Re: [ANN] cudaMiner - a new litecoin mining application [Windows/Linux]
On my GeForce GTX 660 Ti, I used to get around 245 or so and now I'm pushing around 270.
My config is cudaminer.exe -H 1 -m 1 -i 0 -l K7x32
I tried H2 but it shaved off about 10 k/h
I also tried C 1 and though it added about 9 kh it felt like it was pushing the card too hard. I can already hear the fans spinning up where before they were inaudible which makes sense but might be something I'll have to ease into and get more detailed temp reading about.
Thanks much bud, you're doing great work.
