Crypto mining for newbie how to mine Ethereum using nanopool

in #mining7 years ago (edited)

Hey...whats up guys...

This guide may be outdated for those experienced miner...The Pro Miner
But that doesn't mean I can't share it here...

So lets begin..
First, what you need to do is to have the right set up for your mining rig..
and I'm using the AMD graphic cards which have 4gb or higher memory or if you are using Nvidia make sure it has the higher memory capacity too..because there is something to do with the thing called dag... its a file that will make your gpus memory ran out of memory....and thats is the negative thing about Ethereum mining but of course it will take time to make your gpus ran out of memory like a year or more and thats depend on your graphic cards.
Correct me if I'm wrong about it.

Here is the link to nanopool...https://eth.nanopool.org

and thats how it looks like.

Next step is to find the right software for you mining rig.
Just click on the 'help' section on the top of the website of the nanopool.

There are two mining software available in it and try to read the instruction on how to set up the mining software.

I recommend you to use The claymore dual miner....I don't have any problem with it so far.
If you want to use this software just click on the download button and it will automatically download the software into your pc then extract the file onto your desktop where it will be easier for you to manage it later on

After you have downloaded the software, now you need to generate your config and download the file.
The set up...

complete the configuration based on the mining hardware you have and the other details such as email, your pc operating system, worker name or just leave it that way...the most important thing is your Ethereum wallet address.
Just set the to 'none' for the second algorithm because we want to mine the Ethereum only.
Click generate and download then copy the file and paste it in your Claymore dual miner file on your desktop.

Now go to the claymore dual miner file on your desktop click to open the file...
After that try to find this file do not click and open it yet because we need to edit it.Capture.PNG

Right click on the 'start' file to edit the content...make sure it only with the 'start' word bat file.

For the moment of truth....Lets click on the start file see if it run well...and no error means its good to go...

For more details you can visit this link https://forum.ethereum.org/discussion/14669/howto-efficient-mining-ether-with-nvidia-gpu-windows-10-uptodate-drivers

The good thing about Ethereum mining is that it has less power consumption...
Check on any youtube that relate to the gpu OC for the best hash rate for Ethereum mining.

So...thats it... happy mining guys...
