Title: Need help setting up mining operation! Post by: rhgvanklaveren on January 25, 2018, 07:58:40 AM Hello, can someone help me with the following:
1: Setting up a miner for nvidia 980 GTx Ti.(Just nvidia) 2: Registering with a new alt coin with good mining software.. I can't seem to be able to get these things to work. I tried all miners but there is still something im doing wrong. It won't mine at all.. What i know: I need to register at a site of a coin and get a worker in "active mode" or something like that. Then i need to miner to start mining it with the adress the site gives me. This doesn't seem to work for me, i need some help with that. A friend of mine told me that if i pick a fairly new coin to mine i can make some money fast, so i need help finding newly starting alt-coins too! Thanks, kind regards. Title: Re: Need help setting up mining operation! Post by: N0One on January 25, 2018, 11:38:33 PM Happy to help out!! I have not personally mined with a 980 GTx TI but the setup seems the same as it is for mt GTX 1080 (which is about 16% more power).
Example Results: I am currently mining BTX (bitcore), which has help value amazingly well through the past few weeks compared to the other coins I hold and was mining. My 1080 is mining between 20 - 21.7mh/s average depending if I am overclocking. looking at the last 30 hours, I have earned 0.2463842 BTX @ $25.5 today (https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcore/) = $7.39 / 30 = $0.246/hr. so just over $175/month.

Set up bitcore wallet and join the airdrop Go to the bitcore home page, scroll down and download the right wallet for your OS: https://bitcore.cc/. Install. Create a specific address for the mining pool (in my case, I made one called “Mining Pool”) Make sure to sign up for the airdrop (https://bitcore.cc/airdrop.php) and add every address in your wallet. Free 5+% per week!!! through march or april. 2. Pick a Pool https://www.bitcorepool.cc/ (1,5% fee; good and stable one) http://s.umine.org/ (0,5% fee, good and stable one) - 7day / money etc avg: .02406639 suprnova.cc - just lowered fees - need to research http://psychedelic.fi/ -1% fees to attract adoption. young pool just getting started. I am currently on bitcorepool, although I really like the crew at psychedelic.fi pool as the founder is super active on Facebook and helped me troubleshoot issues. I am just waiting for it to be a touch more stable. 3. Set up your mining software BTX only makes sense to mine with a GPU (graphics card). CCMiner SPMOD2: https://www.facebook.com/groups/Bitcore.BTX/files/ Note that there are higher mods than 2, but they cost money while mod2 is free. Almost every mining software triggers security software as lots of viruses install miners on other people’s computers and the anti-virus software just freaks out the second it sees a miner. I lost hours doing the research to get comfortable. As best as I can tell, this is safe. Ultimately, I had to tell windows defender to shut up and exclude ccminer from its quarantine behavior. 4. Configure windows 1. Increase virtual memory: Control panel > system & security > systems > advanced system > settings > advanced > virtual memory change > uncheck automatically manage and change to custom custom size 10,000 - 20,000 2. Handle windows defender’s hate of mining: security and maintenance > change user account control settings > change to never notify (this handled the windows defender issue). Note defender still quarantines combiner some times and I have to undo that. 3. Allow the mining tool to restart itself if it crashes: bottom left Run > regedit > windows > windows error reporting > create new word 32bit val > name “disabled” value data to 1 5. Set up bat file for miner Make 2 batch files, one for when you aren’t using the computer and one for where you are and name them appropriately. The only change is the -i property which is the intensity of your mining. Full blast: -o stratum+tcp://[pool url]:[pool ip] -u [wallet address] No lag: -o stratum+tcp://[pool url]:[pool ip] -u [wallet address] -i 18 If you have multiple graphics cards, then you can add addition intensity definition. Example: https://[Suspicious link removed]/3I1W1h0M3x26 6. Set up MSI for Overclocking (optional) Grab a copy of https://www.msi.com/page/afterburner You will want to play with the settings. I am trying at Power limit 100% Core +75 Memory clock +500 Once you pick them, click on the checkmark to enable the changes. If your card crashes or has issues, then play with the settings. A lot of people suggested keeping the power setting at 80%. 7. Run your batch file!! Enjoy mining. 8. Watch your coins accrue If you need any specific help, just drop a note in here or head to the facebook group. If this is helpful, definitely throw some merit as a thanks. |
