nsgminer.exe command box with blinking cursor

[jjziets]

I am trying to run nsgminer.exe with this command

nsgminer.exe --api-listen -k neoscrypt -o stratum+ssl://hub.miningpoolhub.com:17012 -u Etherion.ws10 -p x --gpu-threads 1 --worksize 64 --intensity 13 --thread-concurrency 64

I only get a cmd window with the title nsgminer.exe and a blinking cursor

running on windows 10 64 bit
amd driver 16.11.3
7 RX480 4GB

what can I do to get nsgminer to run?

If i run nsgminer.exe --benchmark --neoscrypt it does start but not results.

The binaries were compiled without OpenSSL. Use stratum+tcp or recompile. --thread-concurrency is obsolete.

Any why does the benchmark not work?

I have try so far on Rx 480 cards, furyx, R9 390 and hd7990

Different drivers also.

Nothing.

Pity that one can't edit comments to correct spelling mistakes. Met to say and why. Not any why

I don't use the integrated benchmarks. I test kernels in live environments. Although the reference NeoScrypt code has a set of CPU only benchmarks.

I have tried nsgminer.exe --api-listen -k neoscrypt -o stratum+tcp://hub.miningpoolhub.com:17012 -u Etherion.ws10 -p x --gpu-threads 1 --worksize 64 --intensity 13 --thread-concurrency 64

Still the same black screen on all my rigs.

Is there something that I need to instal to get it work on windows 7 and 10? clearly this is not an AMD driver or windows problem as I have tried numerous configurations.

[jjziets]

is there anouther pool i can try to test if the problem is not with pool?

[jjziets]

I got it to work. not sure what is the difference between the two

nsgminer.exe --api-listen -k neoscrypt -o stratum+tcp//hub.miningpoolhub.com:17012 -u Etherion.ws10 -p x --gpu-threads 1 --worksize 64 --intensity 13 --thread-concurrency 64

vs
nsgminer.exe --api-listen --neoscrypt -o stratum+tcp://hub.miningpoolhub.com:17012 -u Etherion.ws10 -p x --gpu-threads 1 --worksize 64 --intensity 13 --thread-concurrency 64

bottom one works top one does not.

"-k neoscrypt" is no such option yet. "--neoscrypt" should be used instead.
