Title: [Question] Need help new to crypto mining
Post by: DL1MP1K on October 18, 2017, 12:02:20 PM
Hello everyone !
I am new to mining. I was observing some crypto currencies and as for now I think I should mine moneros. I don't want to use my laptop for mining, as it has low hash rate 50 H/s. I want to assemble miner (I don't know how), buy some cheap & good peformance cpu/gpu , install mining software and start mining. But the problem is I don't know steps, which hardware to buy and how to assemble it. I currently want to mine 500H/s so I want to ask:
1)Which hardware is cheapest to achieve 500 H/s for monero? 2) After I buy the hardware (let's say AMD FX8350) what to do with it? where should I put it, how should I configure it? As I guess I should buy another hardware to make the cpu/gpu work.
Thanks in advance, Waiting for help guys :)

Everything you need/want to know is in the Altcoin section.  Ask there.  This area is Bitcoin only, and no CPU/GPU will do.

Read the sticky, no GPU mining in here. If you really want help, there are plenty of guides out there, but you basically buy an ASIC miner and point it to a pool. Then you basically just let it go on autopilot.
