This guide is to show you how to mine Ethereum in 5 minutes, easily, from start to finish! Trust me, its not that hard! https://thebtcpool.com/how-to-mine-ethereum-extremely-easy/

Thank you for the tutorial , I was really interested on doing that however i didn't knew how to start .
I have one question , what are the estimated earning that you are getting for now ? daily , weekly or monthly and are you losing from electricity , I assume it's not hard as bitcoin since it's a new alternative cryptoo currency

I am using a R9 390X at about 26 MH/s. I am earning about 1 ETH a day, now, my card uses about 250 Watts, so for me its almost all profit, heck, maybe $20 a month for me in electricity, but I don't plan to run mine 24x7. Maybe see how many ETH I can get, and hope they rise up. And I updated the article to support multi-GPU's which not many people know how to do.

I'am not sure what R9 390X  & 26 MH per second means honestly , what's that Graphic card or something ?
I have nVidia , I'am not sure if that can be used for mining , nothing powerful though it's not the latest generation or anything

The R9 390X came out in July, so last month. It is the best of the best for AMD, and AMD is the best for mining. Nvidia is not that good, I own a 560ti and a GTX 770 (Titan style cooler).

I tried using this guide, but when i input the command into CMD nothing happens, im running it with administrator rights, so idk. I even tried running it directly on powershell without luck. I'm using Win 10 x64, maybe that's the problem?

Thanks for the tutorial! I think it worth a try )

My R9 390X gives me 30Mhz on Eth with no over clock, just stock settings. Not windows though.. 15.15 Drivers

This has worked for many people, the biggest issue is on Windows 10, where Chocolatey is not officially supported.

This tutorial is aimed for Windows 7/8/8.1

did you remove the quotation marks?

How do you get on of these "wallets". The only thing on Reddit was way over my head.

I always appreciate a good tutorial... And this one for sure is a good one. I say this because I am probabl the biggest noob when it comes to mining  ??? ??? ???, especially for all the years I have doing crypto.  :-\ :-\ :-\

Hey..Nice tutorial & easy to understand ...thanks

Yeah, of course, lol. Aparently the choco framework stills doesn't offer compatibility with Win 10.

Thank you very much for the tutorial are provided. i am interested to implement it today

i have used choco on windows 10 and was able to mine eth too.
a friend of mine made a tutorial too on how to mine eth on windows 10. i hope it may help you too

all the best

Anyone know what hashrate 280x and 750Ti gives when mining ETH ?

I think i need to give this another try tomorrow after some sleep.

the 280x would give 20-24mhs but not sure on the nvidia

Ok, thanks

I downloaded the client from the link mellorbo provided, right now is syncing the eth blockchain, will provide hashrate of my R9 270 when it finishes downloading. Quick question, does the miner use the CPU too?

I get 26 mh/s or so on my 280x 's best bang for the buck

Indeed very useful and easy to understand tutorial

Is it possible to mine this coin with 960 MH instead of 2 GH? I know that's what the guide said, but I was just wondering if it was possible to do it with less memory... I'm new to mining in general so I'm not sure what to do.

Specs of my computer:
Windows XP
AMD Athlon 64
NVIDIA GeForce 6150 LE
~960 MH of RAM

Guys,
I just started Solo Mining on ethpool and could use some help...


My hashing seems to be constant at 20mh.

I see the Get work happening every new block...

But I sometimes, I see some shares with the message SOLUTION FOUND! then Getting Submitted AND ACCEPTED to ethpool.org.

Is that a block?
Or just a Valid share but 'maybe' not 'worthy' of the difficulty? How can I know i've really hit a block?? Could you please enlight me?

Site's down :(

Can anyone find the tutorial?  Or would this guide  (https://forum.ethereum.org/discussion/2860/quick-set-up-guide-for-gpu-mining-on-windows-10)essentially be the same if I'm running Win7?

I can't seem to find it, either, tried yesterday, too, link/page seems dead ... nothing at that site,

I'm looking for Ubuntu walkthrough, and also some info about storing the resulting mined ETH in a wallet, or how that works. It appears it is somehow stored online, was looking to see if it can be kept in a wallet like BTC or LTC to keep it securely away from the mining rig, once a good amount is accumulated. Any suggestions?

I use this ubuntu guide: https://github.com/ethereum/webthree-umbrella/wiki/Building-on-Ubuntu

And I use this manual: https://ethereum.gitbooks.io/frontier-guide/content/

Please let us now how much you earn.I got my R9 270 mining monero, but it is making not enough to cover electricity.

BTW when I open this page i get an error https://thebtcpool.com/how-to-mine-ethereum-extremely-easy/

I use chrome?

Thanks again Tanoury, really helpful and easy to understand guides you shared, it's very much appreciated.

Bitcoinhopper, something is definitely wrong with that link, I am not sure if it is trustworthy, I do hope I'm wrong about that...

The original link posted by Beast is dead, tried it a few times and got a blank white screen and loading icon continuously spinning for a while  it looked like it had stopped loading after 2 seconds leaving me looking at a white screen, but something was definitely loading or going on behind the scenes, as it never timed out... next thing I know, my browser was hijacked.

I am not sure if it came through clicking that link, Has anyone else had a similar problem with that link? The only other sites I visited outside of my normal pages that day were the link at the begining of this thread, coinbase.com and poliniex. I know the latter 2 are safe. Can anyone check the link to the btcpool.com for malware, and is it a legit site? I spent 2 days trying to get rid of the trojan on my laptop, even had to get into the registry to get my computer back to normal.

Anyhow, I hope it didnt come from there, I just cant think of any other foreign or new sites I had visited in that week, except the 3 I listed. Thanks

According to this calculator (http://badmofo.github.io/ethereum-mining-calculator/) You should be earning around 20$ a month with one card, so same situation. No profit, but fun. So mine what You believe in, for support, for fun...  ;)

Here's another tutorial (http://cryptomining-blog.com/5323-quick-guide-on-how-to-mine-ethereum-on-windows/).  The article is pretty outdated now, but all the links work & it should help you get on your feet pretty easily :)

No. The Ethereum mining needs at least 4GB of memory.  I do not think Windows XP will work. You need at least 64 bit operating system. Your graphics card is too old.

That is not a block. It is just the "block" for the small task sent to you by the pool. It is valid share. Some times, the display will show something like mined a block.

Is it possible to mine Ethereum in 1 core xeon vps?

If yes, how many hash i can get from 1 core?

You COULD.  You wouldn't earn much.

I have two older CPUs mining away because why not (and because I'm waiting on replacement GPUs).

I earn in 30 days right now approximately less than .5 ETH (yes 1/2 of one) as I'm pool mining.  I'd never find a block solo that way.

It is basically not worth it.  I just keep them going for the sake of it until I can get a little hash going.

If you're running windows you can pick up some real simple clients here:

https://github.com/ethereum/webthree-umbrella/releases

It'll install quite a few items but really if you're mining to a pool all you need to run is the ethminer client (which is packaged in here too).

Do some reading here:

https://forum.ethereum.org

Look at the mining subforum and you'll find a number of solid pools and each pool generally has instructions that will help you mine to that pool.

Do you pay for the electricity? I think it is not very efficient to mine with CPU for ethereum. GPU is much better.

Hey guys, so i would like to start mining ethereum. Actually i did, but i cant find how to setup my miners better.
I was mining x11 before and it was all in the conf file, so my question is - how do you do the fine tuning in the ethereum miner?

I am talking about windows  and my cards are 280x and 7950

There are quite a few setting tutorial in this forum. For Ethereum, there is no intensity to set. It is quite standard.
