Title: Mining Help, Help the Solo mining Newbies get started
Post by: superish96 on December 19, 2017, 02:58:04 AM
So I have been investing in bitcoin for a while and I didn't have the funds to get started.
Now I would like to solo mine. What I have been searching high and low for a proper tutorial, but I cannot find one. I also don't know jack about coding. Is there an actual tutorial or video link that someone can share with me to show me how to set it up from start to finish. From download to running the program. BTW I have Mac OSX, and a 2Pac Gekko Miner. So if there is a tutorial of how to set that up I would be even more grateful. Thanks guys in advance. :)

Sincerely,

Mining Newbie, BTC oldie

2pac Gekko miner? thats f*cking old device miner, i think your hashrate not enough to start solo mining. im recomended to mining new altcoin with basic scrypt algorithm, so you can earn more coin, is better than you try mining bitcoin.

Even doing that. I would need to learn how to do that from scratch. And I still cannot find a tutorial video of how to get started because they all assume you are pool mining. Thus, My question still stands. Is there a video out there to learn how to do it or a person that can guide me through it?

Solo mining is the same as pool mining.  Just replace the regular pool with the solo pool "solo.ckpool.org".  Using that solo pool would be better than solo mining on your own machine.
