Title: How to easily connect to a pool and start mining! Post by: ashesbelow on November 22, 2013, 04:22:17 PM This is a quick easy step by step for people to get started mining fast:
----------- Step 1: Sign up to join my pool at: http://ashesbelow.triplemining.com Step 2: Plug all the shit in for your ASIC miner (power and USB) Step 3: Make sure your computer recognizes it through Device Manager. Windows should auto-recognize it. Step 4: Download and run EasyMiner (for windows. I use cgminer for linux) - http://butterflylabs.com/drivers Step 5: Configure EasyMiner (or cgminer) with the following: URL: stratum.triplemining.com:3334 Username: (the username you used)_(the name of your "worker") <---dont forget the underscore! Password: (your password for your "worker" on triplemining.com) Step 6: Profit. --------- **NOTE: For linux users, you HAVE to run cgminer as ROOT. Do not use sudo. Bitcoin Wallet Setup (where your BTC will be held): Step One: Choose an online wallet (mtgox, campbx, coinbase, etc) or an offline wallet (bitcoin-qt, multibit, etc). An online wallet is convenient to change into other funds (USD, EUR, etc) and an offline wallet is more secure. Step Two: Obtain a deposit address from this wallet, a long string of 27-34 alphanumeric characters. Put this address into your "Payout Address" on triplemining under the Account tab. Thats it!
