How to start bitcoin mining windows 7
Spending a stupid amount of plan optimizing is ridiculous. Don't be silly and spend all your time planning. The ultimate goal is to get your rig up and running as FAST as possible. If you're a professional miner, yes it may matter. Please add suggestions and I'll update this post. My advice to everyone is and take it with a grain of salt: You have a chance, a small chance, if you play your cards right, to get filthy rich.
What you do now with your ether is up to you. You can horde it and hope it will.. You can sell it right away or use the extra capital for trading crypto.. This is the biggest thing to happen on the internet in the longest time.
How much you believe in Ethereum versus how much time you can afford to wait will determine what you do. I'm not rich by any means. I don't have thousands of dollars to spend on rigs or thousands of dollars to horde as much ether as I can. But what I do have is faith. Lots of it in Ethereum. I'm willing to take a huge risk to wait and sit on this ether. What will or ether mine years from now? If you don't know, check out the history of popular coins like bitcoin and litecoin, etc.
Check out how much they skyrocketted in price. Read forums about people who sold them really early and didn't wait. When something this rare comes along Can you see where I'm going? Tell the world about it! Post edited by philakone on March Please make suggestions to this guide! Wouldn't be awesome to have an easy guide to understand with all the FAQ in it? March edited March There's a new version of the ethminer from genoil - 1. I dont know why it isnt referenced more on here!
Reorder the guide man I think - If you want to fast mine - go for 1 exchange address took 15 sec to create 1 acc Poloniex , later we transfert funds back from exchange to local wallet after get it synced. Don't listen to what anyone says. I put my memory clock on msi afterburner slided way to the left, down to the minimum, and it does not affect anything in the lease. Those who claim it does are looking at minute samples, not weekly averages like me.
Your MSI Afterburner does not have "unofficial overclocking limitations" enabled thats why when you "slided way to the left, down to the minimum " it does nothing - it just stays at default memory clock - default is popular ,so your speed at that time NOT AFFECT by memory overclocking because it already stock lol. VuQuocHai1 My memory speed reports on msi after burner and every other program I use too, including sgminer or ethminer. Proof is in the pudding my friend: That's me when I first benched it.
See that MHz memory clock? I speak from REAL experience here, not theory. Despite how some or most haha may be wrong, I'm just speaking from my personal experience and what I've read online. Lots were trial and error. It's impossible for me to believe that memory clock has any bearing on gpu mining when I've tried both extremes with no difference. I was using the "slide to the left" as an analogy, not literally. I use many other programs to confirm that it is indeed the memory clock I set it at.
Use GpuZ for realtime reading Memory clock brother. Wondering it if depends on the GPU if memory clock effects anything. VuQuocHai1 I've rewritten my that section on memory! I'm doubting myself but still believing in myself too! I've read so many things about it not affecting anyone and quite the opposite and extreme too. Haha thanks man too. You did great work on that page. Lower mem clk mean you saved more electric and get more incoming.
My english bad i acctually used Gg translator ,lol. You really made me remember the good old day spent hours on to find khs speed on ltc. The Latest Ethminer 0. Hey man Thanks a lot for the guide it really helps. I have a problem though, I am running on Windows 7 64x and I can't open the "Ethereum-Wallet-win". After extracting the folder I click on "Ethereum-Wallet" Application I click "run" but I doesn't open.
Gite Sometmes antivirus prevents it from opening. Double check to ensure firewall settings are allowed on ethereum wallet. Try to right click on it and run as administrator.
Try to redownload the file just incase it was corrupt. Sometimes ethereum wallet takes a very long time to open due to sychronization. If opening ethereum wallet does not work to sync, i wrote about how to create a "geth --rpc. Let me know how this works out. While this is simplified, it is basically how the system works. You work for shares in a block and when complete you get a percentage of the block based on the number of workers alongside you, less fees. The astute among you will note that I probably used twice that amount of electricity.
My buddy Tom explained how to set up a pooled mining account so I thought it would be interesting to share the instructions. You can either store your wallet locally or store it online. Wallets require you to use or download a fairly large blockchain file — about 6GB — so downloading and updating a local wallet may be a non-starter. There is no preferred wallet type and there are obvious trade-offs to both.
Privacy advocates would probably say a local wallet is best. You can download a local wallet here but make sure you keep a copy of your data backed up. This, without the period, is a direct way to send bitcoins to your wallet. Make a note of your address. In Coinbase, the wallet address found under linked accounts. To mine in a pool you have to work with a group of other miners on available blocks. You can also try guilds like BTC Guild as well as a number of other options.
Pools with fewer users could also have a slower discovery time but pools with many users usually result in smaller payments. However, as one pool owner, Slush, notes:. First, create a pool login.
The workers are sub-accounts with their own passwords and are usually identified by [yourlogin]. I have three workers running, currently — one on my iMac and two on my old PC. You must create workers to mine.
Like any online club, you can dig deeply into the subculture surround bitcoin as you gain experience. Also be sure to enter your wallet address into the pool information. This will ensure you get your bitcoins. There are a number of mining options for multiple platforms although OSX users may find themselves in a bit of a pickle. Miners, on the other hand, use these cycles to help handle peer-to-peer processes associated with bitcoins.
