If someone is missing a certain GUI Miner, feel free to leave a comment.

Next I will add Awesome Miner and AIOMiner.

Please also consider including Hash Auger https://www.hashauger.com (https://www.hashauger.com) in your evaluation. Thanks!

It depends on your hardware and probably you have to try out yourself some mining softwares before deciding which one is best for you.

Let me narrow it down as Winminer is disabled for some time, minergate has a lot of scam accusations against them, don't know the other two miners so you should sticm with Nicehash for the moment, it is newbie friendly and it just works.

Nicehash Miner 2.0 was discontinued.
You should refer to NiceHash Miner Legacy and change your screenshot.

Thanks for the info!
I just updated it!

The most popular of the above such as nicehash, minergate. GUI-miner looks like and referred as a wallet staking, but a different this more needs reliable a specs RAM, graphic, connection of internet.

In the past years I have also tried nicehash and minergate testing with my PC working hard. but getting carried away an age that increasingly difficult. However, as cudominer quite interesting that they support the famous coin right, probably will try it tomorrow..so I’ll be surfing need first on the website.

* that makes a little to weigh is the cost fees and a minimum withdrawing

Each GUI miner has a very large commission. This negates all their virtues.

Hi.  Maker of AIOMiner.  Please review this statement and get back to me.  I'm really excited to see just 1 area of all of this come to light.  I might not make the best, but what I do make I give away for free.  Yes, subscription fee if you want to control(not read, that's free) your rigs.  0% fees.  I hate fees.

Reserved.
I need time to at this post properly.

Most GUIMiner are graphical which are the most suitable  for mining Bitcoin, its provides a convenient way to operate Bitcoin miners from a particular graphical interface. It supports both AMD and NVIDIA GPUs, as well as CPU mining.

Agreed. I have never used GUI miner. Why pay 3%-5%-8%? Other applications have 0-1%. And CLI is better and work faster.

As i see, only Minergate supports withdrawal in all mined altcoins. I consider this as a plus, because it allows to catch the best price on exchanges, or to find the best exchange, or to hold altcoins if it isn't the best time to sell. Let's say, your altcoins are controlled by yourself in the best way. Almost of others support BTC withdrawals only, rarely also ETH, BTH, LTC or fiat. This limitation cuts all benefits you might have from play on exchanges.

Well I once tried minergate mining on my mobile device sometime 2017 and in my opinion it was horrible.. Although the spec of the  device I used then was not too good but based on the difficulty rate of this cryptocurrencies back then I expected lot more performance.. Well I ended up getting discouraged and eventually stopped mining..

As I already wrote in the title, this thread is only intended to help Newbies to gain their first mining experience.


Well, you don't use a portable device for mining.  ::)
People please remain a bit realistic.
