CudaMiner for Nvidia

[jimbo]

i got a nvidia gpu, so im interested in cudaminer. but im not getting how to config it i guess. does anyone know how or what to use to mine gldcoin better than cgminer for nvidia cards. also found a "reaper" miner but not sure if you can use it for gldcoin,or the cudaminer for that matter..  anyone know about this could help on this I'm sure this would help other noobies out on the subject as well.
thanks

MinerD goes into the C:\(blah)\GoldCoin (GLD) directory with the goldcoin-qt.exe (and goldcoind.exe) program

It is not necessary to have the minerd (cpuminer) or any other mining software in the Program Files folder of GoldCoin (GLD).  What is necessary is that you know what's in your gldcoin.conf file:

Code: [Select]

rpcuser=user_name
rpcpassword=password
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=8122
port=8121
daemon=1
server=1
...

If you want to use minerd, cudaminer or cgminer, first start the client then start your mining software like this:

Code: [Select]

minerd -a scrypt -o 127.0.0.1:8122 -u user_name -p password [other flags]

i realize that part so i can mine though the wallet (goldcoin-qt.exe) i got cgminer(GPU) (which gives me rejects after it says it found a block) and i mine through the wallet (cpu). but how's the cudaminer work, where do i input this scrypt at is it a conf file or a bat file i would try again but i cant be sure its working how it is setup with a pool that wont connect anymore . boy this is rough..

Hopefully I answered this question above.  The miner included in the wallet is very slow.  It is a CPU miner that is not optimized.  minerd is much faster (especially in 64 bit).

another thing is my nvidia... now dont laugh... gt240 doesnt support cuda 5 i think its like 3 or something. and i can only go up to driver ver. 304.79 so far that i have found,even though nvidia site say different and windows update say different. problem with high drivers is no games will even start up. windows chat help to trouble shoot this issue last year sometime and gave me 304.79 and it worked but try anything higher and nothing. so i dont think updateing graphics cards a good idea for me. dunno if its the vista32 or what on that issue.

I have found with some of the Nvidia cards (I had a GT 210), that the CPU mines faster than cudaminer can.
