How to Mine Ethereum Using Claymore for Windows PC (With Pictures)
I made this for some friends a while back. Figured it could help some others out, so here you go!
1 - Go here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1433925.0
2 - Click a link (google sometimes marks it as a virus and wont let you download, so use mega mirror)
3 - Choose and download the most updated file.
4 - Extract to Desktop
5 - If you dont have a wallet yet, i reccomend https://jaxx.io/
follow all instructions, it is VERY IMPORTANT. this is basically your private Crypto bank account. you lost this info, you lose your money.
address should be a long series of digits like above/below
0x1611da9f382145c9961c93a0920ade53c14a25de
this is my personal address, feel free to donate Eth!
6 - Open folder, go to bottom, right click and edit the "start" file.
6.1 - Remove everything and change it to this:
setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool [7.1 insert pool address] -ewal [7.2 insert wallet address*].[7.3Pc Name/Rig name] -epsw x
7 - Edit the code:
remove the [brackets] when editing the code.
7.1 - change the Pool to be one of these:
North America (East): us1.ethermine.org:4444 or us1.ethermine.org:14444
North America (West): us2.ethermine.org:4444 or us2.ethermine.org:14444
Europe (France): eu1.ethermine.org:4444 or eu1.ethermine.org:14444
Asia: asia1.ethermine.org:4444 or asia1.ethermine.org:14444
choose the closest to your current location.
7.2 - Add Address, just copy and paste.
*make sure you copy your Eth Wallet Adress! not Eth Classic, not Bitcoin, just ETH
7.3 - Make a name for your rig/pc. can be whatever you want.
This is how mine looks:
EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool us2.ethermine.org:4444 -ewal 0x1611da9f382145c9961c93a0920ade53c14a25de.Letiv -epsw x -di 0 -r 60
I added the "-di 0" to not run my second graphics card (not enough ram)
I added the "-r 60" to rerun the program every 60 minutes or if it reaches an error
There are other codes to be found in the READ ME!!! File.
8 - Save and run the program.
9 - To check mining statistics visit the site:
but copy and paste your Eth Wallet Address at the end of the link
Important: Don't let you GPU's reach above 75 degrees Celsius.
Cool I started using Nicehash but looking for something else. I will try this.
I use both tbh. I'll switch between them every payout (about once week). Even if it's just .01Eth a week, it helps with my EtherStocks pumps and day trade addiction. Lol
