5 Steem Bounty: How to mine with a 1080 GPU
So I have a PC with a 1080 GPU and would like to mine crypto with it again. I used to do this about 1 year ago and it took me about two days to figure it out.
I am looking for:
- instruction on how to download software and get started
- idea of a good pool, that supports several coins and ideally does not require sign up
- general idea on what coins to mine with a standard 1080 (not TI)
To make it worth your while I am putting a 5 Steem bounty on this post.
i'm assuming windows.... if you want to do linux i can help there as well..
go to https://www.myetherwallet.com/
create a wallet
download the JSON file
click the i understand button
save your private key. select it and control-c
click save your address
clcik private key
enter the private key or control-v
click unlock
select your address and SAVE IT. it will be something like 0x4d8A2F977d928D4dCA279be3D46206ECfd213e7B
go to https://mega.nz/#F!O4YA2JgD!n2b4iSHQDruEsYUvTQP5_w
(select this file and right click for download) download Claymore's Dual Ethereum+Decred_Siacoin_Lbry_Pascal_Blake2s_Keccak AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner v11.6 - Catalyst 15.12-18.x - CUDA 8.0_9.1_7.5_6.5.zip
unzip it (you might have to shorten the name)
go into the unziped folder
edit start.bat and replace the 0xD69af2A796A737A103F12d2f0BCC563a13900E6F with your address (from step "select your address and SAVE IT.")
save and close file
double click start.bat
congrats, you are now mining!
Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
now you want to save the JSON file and private somewhere offline so you can access your wallet in the future.
So this all worked.
Now this thing is also mining decret. I have an address. Any idea which pool to use, preferably without needing to signup?
