About Graft:
Graft is a global, open-sourced, blockchain-based, decentralized payment gateway and processing platform that anyone can use. Any buyer and merchant can use Graft in a completely decentralized and inexpensive way. Graft ecosystem is open, so anyone can participate by maintaining Graft blockchain and implementing network services.

Graft employs payment processing protocols and flows similar to traditional electronic payment systems such as credit, debit, and prepaid cards, which are already familiar to and trusted by millions of users and merchants around the world. This approach enables easier and faster adoption of Graft as a mainstream payment platform, while eliminating the need in centralized intermediaries (payment gateways and processors) currently required to facilitate transactions between buyers and merchants.

How Graft works:

Step 1
Download the Graft Windows Miner We'll use XMR-STAK for both easy CPU and GPU mining.

Windows Binaries : https://github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak/releases

Step 2
Download your mobile wallet.

Step 3
Write down your restore seed and take note of your wallets address you'll need it later.

Step 4
Pick your mining pool.
Complete list here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/3f08lgk3zn6gm0w/AACcgZybW_EEoRUQxMutm_UTa?dl=0&preview=Graft+Pools.xlsx
As a rule you shouldn't mine at a pool with the highest network hashrate to help the decentralized nature of this crypto.
with that said we'll use: https://www.graftmine.net/ or http://graftpool.net/ both currently has about 10% of network's hash rate. Information about port and which one you should use for you hardware can be found here:
https://www.graftmine.net/#downloads

Step 5
Now that you have your miner software , your wallets address and you have picked your mining pooland port. Lets put it all together and setup your miner.

Unzip XMR-STAK and then run as admin (right click select run as admin) xmr-stak.exe.

XMR-STAK will ask if monero or aeon
Type monero and hit enter

Next it will ask you for your Pool URL input:
usw1.graftmine.net:2222 (or whatever pool pr port you picked for your hardware type) and hit enter .

Next it will ask you for you Wallet address:
Input your wallet address and hit enter double check it!!

it will ask you for a password some pools allow worker ID's you can put one here:
example: MYRIG and hit enter

everything else it ask just type "N" for no and hit enter.

Step 6 Your miner should configure itself and start running you can check your mining stats by inputting your wallets address on the main page of your pool :
https://www.graftmine.net/ or http://graftpool.net/ you can also estimate mining rewards based on your hash. Pools Minimum Payment Threshold: 20.000 GRF

Be sure to give me a follow. I will be doing more mining guides soon thank you .

hey bro every time I run xmr stak miner it ends up with nvidia nvcc code dll error.... what should I do ???

do you have nvidia ? if not try removing the Nvidia ddl before running XMR STAK. If you do have nvidia update your drivers .

I have nvidia Geforce 920m... and latest cuda 9.1.85.... what should I do now ???

locate your nvidia config file inside you XMR STACK folder and open it . You'll see something like this
"gpu_threads_conf" :
[
// gpu: GeForce GT 750M architecture: 30
// memory: 1694/2048 MiB
// smx: 2
{ "index" : 0,
"threads" : 64, "blocks" : 6,
"bfactor" : 6, "bsleep" : 25,
"affine_to_cpu" : false, "sync_mode" : 3,
},

],

Reduce the # of threads by 50% for example 128 = 64, increase your bfactor to 8 if it isn't already. Save and restart the miner, let me know if you still have issues.

If that didn't help you and you keep having issues, increase "bfactor" to 8, "bsleep" can be increased to help as well.
Also, you need to adjust the "threads" and "blocks" to get optimum performance from your card. (Adjust, settings, save, run miner and check hashrate after a minute, then shut it down and adjust again, etc.)
You can also right click on the Start button and open a command prompt (shell?), cd <path to your mining software>, then xmr-stak --help. This will give you all the commands you can use to start xmr-stak in a .bat file.

Thank you, @guidedcrypto bro and @ghostferret bro problem solved...

Happy to hear you got it resolved.
Keep on mining brother!

hey, how much is 1graft is in satoshi ? is it better to mine ETN or Graft ?

its pre exchange as far as I know so nothing. what better depends on a lot graft could moon one day ETN probably never ever will , graft and ETN could both be scams , who knows .

Nice article. Have you come across a miner for Ubuntu? Thanks

thank you, https://github.com/nanopool/Claymore-XMR-Miner/releases
or

Mining on Ubuntu 14 and above
Remember to replace WALLET_ADDRESS_HERE with your own wallet's public address. The "-t 3" option determines how many of your CPU threads will be used for mining.
sudo apt-get install git libcurl4-openssl-dev build-essential libjansson-dev autotools-dev automake
git clone https://github.com/hyc/cpuminer-multi
cd cpuminer-multi
./autogen.sh
CFLAGS="-march=native" ./configure
make
sudo ./minerd -a cryptonight -o stratum+tcp://pool.minexmr.com:4444 -u WALLET_ADDRESS_HERE -p x -t 3

If I have an AMD card, do I still need to install CUDA?

no just follow the guide it auto setups for you

graftmine and graftpool is died. Can you add my graft pool?
https://graft.herominers.com

This is fast xmrig mining setting

@echo off
xmrig.exe --donate-level 1 -o graft.herominers.com:10101 -u YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS -p YOUR_WORKER_NAME --variant 2 -k
pause
