RE: The easiest way to start mining crypto with your PC - tutorial for newbies

in #mining7 years ago

I started using this after trying MinerGate for a few days. I will not be going back to MinerGate on my PC! NiceHash can make me around $2 USD a day paid in BTC. My PC is running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit SP1, AMD FX-8320 8-Core processor, 16 GB RAM, Nvidia 4gig Geforce GTX 760. Only problem is the GPU temp is up to 79 degrees C for most of the time NiceHash is running.

Hi, I tried downloading and opening the exe file and got nothing. I'm on Win 7 64bit with Nvidia Geforce GTX 710. I think it didn't unzip the entire file folder, so I'm stumped. On another pc I'm mining two other crypto's. I'm not sure where to go from here, any suggestions

I had to disable antivirus while I installed it and every once in a while I find a miner application file in my antivirus' quarantine and have to restore and add an exception to them. Unzipping the file with the bins it downloads when you first run NiceHash also hangs in the last 99% sometimes because it tries to overwrite a restored file or something that you don't have permission to for some unknown reason. You can try to install it again in a different place or delete the bin folder in safe mode and unzip the bins.zip yourself without nicehash running.

Still running NiceHash Legacy. The GPU temp has never been a problem. I wish I would have found this a lot sooner.
