Title: Overall Mining Problems Post by: CrystalBlue on March 12, 2014, 11:30:30 PM Hey guys,
I've been trying to mine for about 2 weeks but I can't. I've seen plenty tutorials but I still don't know how to mine. There is always something wrong, for example, when I start mining it says OpenCL device not found (or something like that), but not just that. Can anyone please help start to mine? Also, how do USB miners work? I just connect them to my PC and they start mining to my wallet? Title: Re: Overall Mining Problems Post by: Trongersoll on March 14, 2014, 08:19:17 PM You need to run mining software such as cgminer to run your USBs. Then the easiest route is to pick a pool to mine at. the pool will send your coins to your wallet when you accumulate a certain amount.
There are lots of other ways, i'm sure others will chime in with their way is better. This is just what i see as the easyist while you learn. Title: Re: Overall Mining Problems Post by: CrystalBlue on March 15, 2014, 03:21:28 PM So is an antminer USB a good investment?
Title: Re: Overall Mining Problems Post by: Trongersoll on March 15, 2014, 03:25:15 PM So is an antminer USB a good investment? Investment? no. When it comes to mining, there is no good investment. But, it is a good starting point to get a feel about how things work. Title: Re: Overall Mining Problems Post by: CrystalBlue on March 15, 2014, 03:34:18 PM Why isnt it a good investment? From what I read you can actually win some money from it...
Also, is this a good sub miner? I'm thinking of ordering it. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BITMAIN-ANTMINER-U2-2Gh-s-ASIC-Bitcoin-Miner-BTC-USB-Stick-/291101491238?pt=UK_Computing_Other_Computing_Networking&hash=item43c7004026 (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BITMAIN-ANTMINER-U2-2Gh-s-ASIC-Bitcoin-Miner-BTC-USB-Stick-/291101491238?pt=UK_Computing_Other_Computing_Networking&hash=item43c7004026) Title: Re: Overall Mining Problems Post by: Trillium on March 16, 2014, 09:32:18 AM Because most ASIC will never achieve ROI, or breakeven, which on this forum effectively mean the same thing.
