Hi to all, is there any LEGITIMATE Bitcoin Mining Software for Windows that can earn faster?


P.S. Admin please remove this thread if it is not allowed here.

Mine faster not gonna happen unless you have the hash power in fact the new hard ware miners  will get slower as the Difficulty Factor increases so that means you will need faster hardware over time the old ones will get slower and make less.

Software really has nothing to do with how fast they mine unless it is poorly written for the hardware it is written for . tweaking the software makes it run better, use resources better,which in turn might appear to make it faster but not mine faster or faster, you can only go as fast as the hard ware allows.  so that said : there is no such software yet :). you need fast hard ware for the software to do it's job right .

forgot don't be alarmed even if your fast hard ware seems slow, it's never fast enough.

This may be the wrong place to post this but don't feel bad they put it in the right place if it is moved.

I've been using bfgminer for sha and cgminer for script for a while now and they work quite good without stopping and they're quite easy to use too

 

cgminer no longer supports script miners unless your using one of the forks or odder version they stopped support for script miners  some time ago . bfg still supports both script and sha256 miners or bitcoin miners , but that all depends which one , CGminer only supports sha256 miners beyond cgnminer version 3.9 or so .

yeah i'm using a old version of cgminer

is gui miner is profitable??

 There is no WIndows-based system that is even in the same ballpark as current or even 1-2 generations old ASIC miners for Bitcoin.

 The only question on using CPU or GPU hardware to mine Bitcoin is "how much do you want to LOSE" - even with free electric, your system will DIE before it pays for itself.

AFAIK, gui miner is a tool made to mine bitcoins with certain brands/types of GPU. There is no profit to be made with GPU or CPU mining bitcoins (sometimes you can cPU or GPU mine certain altcoins for a while and make a profit).

As a small recap of this topic:

• CPU mining BTC with any type of hardware (be it your laptop, raspberry pi or a 256 core XEON server) will cost you more in power and hardware than you'll ever make in bitcoin (in most, if not all, cases you won't make enough coins to ask for a withdrawal from a mining pool... maybe if you have a bunch of 256 core XEON servers mining 24/7 you can withdraw your coins, i didn't do the math)
• GPU mining BTC won't make you anything either (look here https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Non-specialized_hardware_comparison). The best graphic cards will have a much lower hashrate than a $25 geckoscience usb stick.
• the only way to make bitcoins, is by using an ASIC. The diff rose pretty high lately, so even older ASIC's will not be good enough... you need a lot of hashrate, preferably with low power consumtion in order to mine bitcoins (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison)
• it does not matter which piece of software you use to manage your ASIC (a lot of asics have a web interface where you just enter your mining pool, and that's it... you don't even need software to manage them). It might be a good idear to compare the management software tough, since an updated version might give slightly better results
• sometimes, somebody finds a way to improve the asic's firmware... This might (or might not) be a good idear, it's a case-by-case scenario

But ASIC is pretty expensive and with the bitcoin halving coming soon... ::)

its getting harder and more expensive to even make roi on asics

Its very difficult to mine Bitcoins for a individual dear

bitcoin mining at home and with simple pc or notebook is very hard, you can't get anything. It's boring without special hardware, but if you are searching software, than write here are you mining with cpu or gpu. Some softwares are good for cpu and some for gpu

How about Minera.

I Use Minera, it's the best thing that i have ever use! Stable and powerful

my laptop gets hotter when using minergate (window 8)

im using minergate its good software for mining,but im affraid my laptop get oveheated  ??? ??? ??? ??? ???

Guys, any other Miner besides Minera and MinerGate?
And what if i run miners in like 10 pc's, it will be nice profits but i don't know if i get banned or no..

you need to lessen the cores you mine with leave one open for windows it will run cooler

with 3 laptops and 2 tablets you can make some money but its a slow go
they sent me the info to actually mine on the servers using my s5 but i had mixed results using it

I used miner gate in the past and you get coins really slow.. also you can add a GPU and mine with it and it would be a bit better

Individual mining is challenging
