How To Get Started Mining - Nicehash
How To Get Started Mining
In this post I will show you the easiest way to start mining and get paid in Bitcoin every day.
First of all - Register
You need to go to nicehash.com and register a new user.
Download a miner software
Nicehash supports all kinds of different miner softwares, but they also make their own softwares, in this tutorial we will be using nicehash's legacy miner.
Click here to download Nicehash Miner Legacy 1.8.1.8 (download will start automatically when you click the link)
Extracting the software
Find the nicehash zip file in you download folder, right click on it and choose "Exctract to NHML-1.8.1.8"
You can move this folder to where ever you want on your computer.
Locate the NicehashMinerLegacy application in the folder and start it.
Running the miner software
First time it starts up it will start downloading different miners its going to use later, nothing you need to worry about.
While waiting
While you wait until the miner have downloaded what it needs you need to go to nicehash.com , sign in and copy your nicehash wallet address.
Paste you wallet address into the nicehash miner software and choose a name for you worker.
Start the benchmarking.
Make sure you choose every algorithm in the list.
No need to choose CPU mining, that will not give you anything.
Click "Start"
If this message appears, click "Allow access"
Coffee brake
The benchmarking will take some time, so this is a good time to go get some coffee.
When the benchmark finishes it will probably tell you that it failed on some algorithms, don't worry to much about this, not every graphics card will be able to do all algorithms.
Start mining
Click the Start button in the main window and a black scary screen wil show up, don't worry about this, this is just the miner software showing you what its doing.
My laptop is a shitty laptop, so i only get about 5 cents/day.
Well done!
You are now mining, and will get paid once a day into your nicehash wallet, i recommend you to move those bitcoins away from nicehash and into your hardware wallet or exchange.
Now you can sit back, enjoy life and watch the money being made, or go outside and play.
Any questions?
Do you have any questions?
Please ask in the comments and I will help you get your mining started.
