Title: Mining Software compatible to Windows XP 32bit?
Post by: Harlot on June 27, 2016, 10:59:05 PM
Anyone know a mining software compatible to Windows Xp? Or anyone here who knows how to mine with Windows Xp? I can't seem to run MinerGate or NiceHash

Update your pc to win 7. I think you probably could, anything with pentium 4 and up can go to win 7. Then get minergate.

CGMIner works with WinXP.  But XP has a limit to 12 or 13 USB ASIC mining devices.

It's about running a 64 bit OS in many cases - Ethereum in particular REQUIRES a 64 bit OS to mine on.

 XP works for ASIC USB-based miners, but those aren't very efficient and the miner software tends to crash out a lot, IME.

 You CAN "mine" FoldCoin with XP - via running FAH.
