   You're using Multiminer, is that correct? Which BFG miner are you using, the built-in one from Multiminer? When I get stuck on mining configuration, sometimes it's best to start from the beginning & fixes the problem. Another option is to just run the bfg.exe without a .conf or .bat & input the scripts one at a time. Hope you get it working,

yes, i used BFG Miner with the built-on Multi-Miner and this seems to work, but i dont know where the GoldCoins end up that i mine, i cant see them in my Wallet.
Today i used BFGMinter solo with Version 5.20 for Win32 and got the above mentioned error messages.



According to my research, you should be able to achieve around 750 KH/s with that GPU card. Luckily, Cryptosolar lives only 30 minutes away from you by train.

I can ask him to perform a service call and get you up and running. You would only need to pay his train fare in one direction (10 EUR) and I will gladly pay for the return trip. This could be a great way for you to interact with a member of the Goldcoin Team and learn the ropes from a mining expert.

I'm not sure if he can make the trip or will have the time, but this could be one possible way of finding a solution for your problem.

Let me know what you think! :)

if i have the time this evening, i will try it with another Mining pool.
if i cant start the mining myself, i dont know if i should go on... kind of anoying for somebody how studied Business Administration & IT...

btw: what i still dont understand: the Pool nor any mining client has any relation to my Wallet and GD Adress. How will the coldcoins be deposited in my wallet ?

   If you can get the basic software running, without a config or bat file & manually add the input for the Pool, Name, Pass, Algo (then press "S" for settings & "W" to write a basic configuration file).. You should be Golden, just don't give up & keep trying (been building for well over a decade & still have trouble from time to time). The pool will send the payments out with what you entered in your settings (on the pool / site), it's an API script that will be automated or manual (depends on what you have set in your account settings on the pool).

Hi, the pool withdrawal settings are located at http://gld.cryptcoins.net/accountdetails when you are logged in.

I used the following bfgminer configuration on an R9 280/7950 and it worked.

Code: [Select]
bfgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://gld.cryptcoins.net:5533 -u testerjohn.1 -p x -I 12 -v 2 --verbose -g 2 --worksize 256 --no-submit-stale

Note the "stratum+tcp" not "stratum+http"

Please also try to make sure that port 5533 is in fact open/port forwarded, as that may be the culprit. With regards to multi-miner working, again It's a software we do not support. We don't know what is happening with it.

Again the checklist for you is(REBOOT IS MANDATORY, you need proper driver cycle):

Done that, now getting the message: unexpected extra commandline arguments.

It works fine for me *shrugs*.

Please take screenshot for me of the error screen you are getting..
