Title: Which miner software should i use for mining Ethereum?
Post by: may142012 on September 11, 2017, 04:23:57 PM
I have 2 GTX 1070 in a rig and i am new to mining. I am not sure which software should i use for mining Ethereum? Is there a modded miner software in this forum to increase hash-rate?, i heard there is a modded nvidia driver to increase hash-rate also, but i don't know where to get it.

No there are no magic hash rate increases, you just have to use a tool to overclock your card to try and get more out of it.

I downloaded the windows version, but why doesn't it let me edit the mining pool address and my ETH address? How to use this?

Make a .bat file. This is what I have in mine on 1070s.

Code:
setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
ethminer.exe --farm-recheck 200 -U -SP 1 -S us1.ethpool.org:3333 -FS us1.ethpool.org:3333 -O WALLET ADDRESS.rigname

Look for instructions on your pool or search ethminer on this forum or google.

try out claymores dual ETH miner, it supports NVidia. bit easier to set up too might I add

I'd recommend claymore if you want to try dual-mining (sometimes more profitable), otherwise Genoil or qtminer for straight ETH mining.

Claymore is the best software out there : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1433925.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1433925.0)

I would also recommend Claymore Dual Miner for Ethereum Mining - cause itīs not slower then other miners in single mode but you can mine two Coins at one time.

You can use Ethos To in dual boot -> http://ethosdistro.com/

For two 1070's just use claymore.

I would also say that for me the best option is Claymore but for me is questionable whether dual mining profitable or not. On the net there are various interpretations. For now I use it only for Ethereum.

Given the fee, for mining JUST Ethereum Claymore has no advantage over Genoil or even QTminer.

 Claymore's strength is the dual-mining mode.

I use claymore's dual miner and am satisfied with it's performance and flexibility.
