Title: The basics are the hardest (software?) Post by: SidETH on June 07, 2017, 08:23:02 PM I've been reading about mining altcoins like ethereum for some time now. This resulted in buying 5 ASUS 1070 cards (AMD cards are completely sold out), some other parts, and material to build a rig. This part is clear to me.
The mystery to me lies in the software. I'm using Mac computers now for such a long time that Windows will take some time again, but Linux is a total stranger to me. I see many people mentioning Linux as the best OS for mining with 1070 cards, but I lean towards Windows because of the vague familiarity. And then there is EthOS but it limits me to mining Ethereum. What would be the wise decision? I'm now thinking about: Windows 10 64-bit Genoil ETHMiner Alpereum mining pool Because that seems to work :) (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1940360.0) Title: Re: The basics are the hardest (software?)

But it only works with AMD, so your 1070s won't currently work with it. Title: Re: The basics are the hardest (software?)
