ethash-lowmemory not working

Post by kerstballon » Tue Mar 30, 2021 9:22 am

Hello,

I'm trying to mine callisto with gminer but I can't seem to get it to work. I get the following error: "invalid algorithm: Ethash-LowMemory".
Any ideas? Sorry if this is a dumb question, I'm new to mining.

This sounds like something that is specific to your setup that is probably best handled in a support ticket, but from the limited information you've provided, it sounds like you might be confused with gminer's algorithm and the Prohashing "a=" password argument.

The gminer algorithm is "ethash," but if you want to use "a=," you should use "ethash-lowmemory" for that.

Thank you! I indeed thought both the algorithm and "a=" had to be etash-lowmemory.
