Title: XMR BCN monero or bytecoin minig HELP :c Post by: Bexes on August 30, 2016, 04:18:37 AM Hello guys,
I'm new with this mining thing, and I'm interested in either mine BCN or XMR (or whatever my system can run). The problem is that I have a nvidia card and I'm not quite sure how to use it... I know I'm supposed to use ccminer but I don't know how... I've been using MinerGate and already withdraw a few BCN, but is quite slow, I guess my system is not good enough xD Would you mind helping me a bit here? GPU: GeForce 210 CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) 5350 APU with Radeon(tm) R3 (not sure if the ram is important here, but I have 8...) I've been reading a bit but I must admit I'm completely lost, so, if you have a guide for dummys or something like that, I'll be grateful. I'm gonna do this at the office so... free electricity and all...

And I can't find a tutorial, step by step or something. (I'm really a newbie...) I already downloaded the zip, but doesn't supposed to have a exe file or something? Sorry, I'm kind of lost =/ Title: Re: XMR BCN monero or bytecoin minig HELP :c Post by: Mike8 on August 30, 2016, 08:04:24 AM I can help with CPU mining. I can help for Windows. The fact you have 8 GB ram tells that you have x64 OS, which is important to have.
Do you have a wallet installed? If not, go to https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=583449.0 and get a wallet. Or you can find a pool that mines directly to exchange, but most pools don't do that afaik and it's not advised. A pretty good miner is here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1326803.0 Download the binaries, not the source code. Open the readme, see which miner exe is OK for your system. It may be cpuminer-btver1.exe and if it doesn't work you can try the other ones too. Code: start /low the_correct_exefilename.exe -a cryptonight -o stratum+tcp://pool.minexmr.com:4444 -u your_wallet_address -p x You can change the pool and port too if you want.

Thank you, I'm trying to use it, but when I open it it closes immediately. Any idea why?

CD to the directory with the EXEs and type the cpuminer command manually (no start /low) to see what the error is. If your CPU is as old as your GPU you may have to use cpuminer-core2. |
