What mining software do you use for altcoins?

I currently understand ( and please correct me if i am wrong) CGMiner is for BTC, Nicehash if you have windows and easyminer...well easyminer gives me an error after i unpackage and install with Wine.

Any ubuntu miners on here?

Thanks

Some people tend to ride in Mining boat even has limited or specifically no knowledge about basic PC troubleshooting/technical aspects.

What they could possibly do is to hire or seek help from friends or relatives to do the dirty job.

Are there any people here succeed on this setup? There might be some newbies who plan to join the tide, and this might be a good reference if they could at least know the success rate on mining for them.

 

Have U tried dentistry or surgery??

I highly suggest you let friends have you operate on them or do a root-canal on them,and then if the patient didn't die,you will know your ready for this hobby.

If the friends you are talking about are Professional and licensed then why not, is it?

Quote
U can't do shit on ONE CPU or GPU, minimal is a RIG, minimal cost for a rig is $1500 USD ( figure 6 gtx1060-6 ), then consider spending $100/month for power, then consider making $10/day less $3 for power,

This is a hobby that pays $7/day, is this really what you want out of life?

Again, do some abortions on 14 year girls, and save your money, and then buy an entire warehouse of gpus.



***

MINING investment $1500, net $7, or $210 month payback is 7 months, then your rolling in $200/month, in a third world country like africa/india, u will be doing good, in USA, that will not even get u laid on one night date.

If U want to mine, first go live in 3rd world country where ppl earn $3/day, then  U will be RICH.

If you could read previous threads, it has involved a great sum of money, So I don't think this is only a hobby like you're talking about, this is about business I guess.
1263  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: BTX Mining?? Anybody actually see working software? on: November 17, 2017, 08:49:30 AM
I have seen the continual PUMP of BTX for days here on the 'talk' thread, but this is MINING specific

All paths to BTX 'bitcore' or whatever U want to call it all point to 'ccminer' and say to use --algo timetravel

But in general that doesn't work, then on other mining sites than btx.suprnova.cc, they say to use --algo bitcore, which works sometimes on solo cards but crashes on working rigs

When it is working on solo cards it jumps every few minutes from blake , ...groetzel, to sha, to lbry, to bumfuk,  this or that,

There is NO documentation for the also 'timetravel'

There is NO documentation for the BTX brother 'machinecoin' which seems to be the same thing?

***

The websites for BTX is some kind of ICO generator, is MINIING even real? or did they just create the faux notion of minability to make this ICO legitimate?

I asked yesterday about mining BTX and got zero answer, thought  I would again today

WhatToMine.com is Reporting $25/day for mining at 200MH/S, not shabby if true, but unusable


It appears the ccminer is the only code that supports this un-documented algo,

I mean come on, no white papers? I thought that was a required check-list for shit-coins?

BTX is trading at $25 and it up 50% from a few days ago, so the coin is being 'whaled' no doubt, very interesting coin, but can it actually be mined?

Yes, Just tested it in my 1080ti, using ccminer

I think building a mining rig is not that difficult, the only thing is making some quick searches and find reference from youtube.
Some of my friend who have limited skills on PC and Electrical, they still could build and handle it. They just asked me at the beginning about prices, and some minor errors. 
  I have very basic knowledge of computers from years spent gaming. Actually building a computer of my own, or anything more than upgrading ram/gpu was more than i ever wanted to take on. I looked into mining currency about a month ago and found Voskcoin on Youtube. With information i got from him I built my first rig two weeks ago. Since then i have been blowing the dust off old gaming pc's that quit on me in the past and trying to figure out what i can use to piece together another miner. I am having an absolute blast. If i had any idea how much fun this would be i would of started long ago. These forums have been very helpful as well. Honestly though i am very reluctant to post here. I have seen people get mad about people posting to increase post count, or rank. Something along those lines. Haven't figured out why people are interested in forum rank yet so i will just keep reading and learning for the most part.

I consider myself pretty smart on technology but hands on was a different story.  I would say my technical skills were very low when it came to building a rig and writing scripts.  Once I dove in and found a friend who taught me how to build a rig I now understand the whole process as he made me do all the work and just explained it to me as we went, which I recommend you do if you can.  Once I was up and running I spent many hours on this forum and youtube reading and watching videos.  I managed to figure alot of things out on my own and where I was lost I asked for help.  People here have been very helpful as long as you do some of the research yourself and are not asking the most basic of question you will usually get a good answer.  I have been trying to return the favor as much as I can to newcomers. You can do it, just spend the alot of your time reading and watching videos.  You will pick it up in no time.  

So I guess, It is a requirement at least. If you don't have it, take time to Read, Explore and learn the technical skills.

Well i already looked at minexcoin i had it in mind but didnt try to mine it yet  since i was looking for best hashing at cryptonight but i will now tnx
Also as i said i mined a little bit monero and as you say i know its more profit now but since difficulty is high i guess i will mine 3xmr a year other altcoin with less difficulty you can mine 1,10 or even 100 and more with different price ofc.thats what i am wondering better have 1 monero or lets say 1000 of something else with the potential to rise?
Well i guess monero may rise more ofc!
And another thing the max supply of coins what sould be better few mil like bitcoin or like monero neverending i wonder if it affects the price!
Always speaking ofc the mining is with normal pc few of them not rig not asic!

Why do you need to post duplicates with two accounts? geez..

Hello  i am new to mining started just for fan!
But i thought since i am mining some coins why not to think for the future!
who knows when a coin will rise a little bit so i am asking info,help,suggestions whatever.

Since i dont have asic and not a rig and since i said started for fun i will ask ideas about Cpu and Gpu mining (fx6,fx8,i7,750ti,660gtx) some of these that i already got dont mind about the electricity and dont mind about that its not profitable lets think a little bit forward!

If you're really moving forward, you are thinking of a profitable coins.

Then this thread is for you

1267  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Error 15 and then BLUESCREEN on: November 17, 2017, 01:39:41 AM
Well, here I am again with something new that has me shut down.  I boot, Afterburner kicks in, then Claymore.  It finds all 4 cards, then one after the other it says it can's fine temp, error 15 and throws me a bluescreen.  I have googled it to death and tried some of the fixes in Bittalk and no luck.  I now have all cards set to zero OC and still can't seem to get it to go.  It was great this morning.  Any more ideas?

I have: set OC to 0, reseated cards, reinstalled Claymore, run bluescreen troubleshooter in Win 10, reinstalled all NVidia drivers 22.21.13.8569.

I have not: rolled back driver, bypassed Afterburner (the only way I know to OC).

Thanks, Roy

Are you using Risers? might be the culprit, I suggest to install GPU's without riser first, if your mboard supports 2 PCIEx16 then install 2 GPU first within the PCIEx16 slots and resume mining,  observe, add GPU's one at a time to isolate your problems.

1269  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: is mining even worth it now? what if Bitcoin is WAY higher when you start out? on: November 16, 2017, 05:15:18 AM
here's my thought process.

let's say you spend 1 BTC to mine coins with nicehash and get payouts converted to BTC.

you receive your mining units two months later, and the price of Bitcoin is $12K.  You start mining, you're earning around $1300 a month (estimate, based on upcoming difficulty adjustments).  It's now going to take you at least 10 months to earn back your original return on investment.  Not to mention during those 10 months, Bitcoin could easily be tripling in price, putting it at nearly $40K, or who knows where.  So in reality, you've lost money, because you could have just held the 1 Bitcoin rather than using the 1  Bitcoin to buy mining rigs.  Am I understanding that correctly?  I feel like I'm making a mistake trying to get into mining.  Anyone have any input on this?

No, you've missed the point, I usually held mining profits in BTC as long as I can. so if it triples the price, it only means my ROI is also faster.

1270  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Mining cryptocurrency still is a good idea? on: November 16, 2017, 04:44:15 AM
so what happens with Eth switches to POS?  all the current mining power will go to something like Monero and will decrease profits right?

Still a lot of Ethash algo that is profitable than ETH, so for now ETH to POS is rather fuss, no need to worry about, oh btw, I don't mine ETH for a couple of weeks now.
1271  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: What to mine with R9 390(x)s? on: November 16, 2017, 03:39:43 AM
Wow, that was fast! Thanks man! PSU-wise I'm well, I got 2 1050 platinum LEPA unites, and 2 1050 Firepower Technology FPS1050-A4M00 that just went to my Nvidia rig (I highly recomend those, they are super...flashy with their red lights but 1050W gold decent quality PSU for 100$? I'm really happy with them. Equihash is rather dissapointing...but I can't mine ethereum anymore after Vitalik Buterin's statements. That's not a world I wanna live in and I won't support it. Maybe a smaller Dagger-Hashimoto one? And any experience with Nicehash? Cause it sounds like the noob path but when a card is not particularly good at one algorithm it does make sense.


I actually don't use Nicehash profit switching miner, I only use their pools, holding BTC is more fun to me, anyways, if you could have at least 33Mh in Ethash Algo you can set this to whattomine. seem's Espanse has a decent profit for today.
1272  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: What to mine with R9 390(x)s? on: November 16, 2017, 03:07:45 AM
So, I was a little drunk and I purchased 3 390x (at good price, apparently I'm good with bargains under the influence, go figure) and I already had 2 390s laying around, so I was thinking of setting them up together in a 5 gpu rig since I don't want to mix them with the fury cards.
Since WhatToMine.com doesn't show these cards and newer cryptos have been popping up I was thinking of just going the nicehash route on that rig, unless there is an altcoin that actually benefits from the Hawaii architecture more than others. What do you guys think?

Here is another online calculator that has R9 390(X) though its for Equihash only.

https://www.crypto-coinz.net/crypto-calculator/

in ETH it could reach upto 33Mh, however consider a BIG psu for this.

Hi friends I'm looking to get started on mining. Could you give me some recommendations on good coins to mine?

start with a research, check these online calculators to give you an updated insight what are the profitable coins per Hardware

you may now have an idea what target coins you want to mine, then research again how to mine that coin.
1276  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: rig shut down!!!! 2x r9 290 on: November 15, 2017, 08:07:35 AM
hi,
   well this is my configuration:
gigabyte ga-h87-hd3.
4 gb ram ddr3
cup: celeron g1820.
msi r9 290x installed in pciex x16 3.0
shapphire r9 290 installed in pciex x 4
psu of 500 watt for the motherboard and the sapphire r9 290.
psu of 600 watt for the msi r9 290x only.
when i start the rig everything is fine then the fan of sapphire stop. after i lunch  clymore's they start again for about 3 minute then everything colapse.

Did you mean Sudden Shutdown? what's your OS? have any error's seen?

Quote
what could possibly is wrong?
 i think i should switch the psu so the main psu feed the msi in pci ex x 16 and the 2 nd psu feed sapphire in pci ex x4.
any thought's??!!!

I don't think this is the case, just want to know more details on errors appear if there's any


os: windows 7 64 bit
yes sudden shutdown, no error seen only fan stop of sapphire r9

Do basic Isolations, start with single GPU put in PCI-e x16 slot, no risers, set aside second GPU and PSU. then fired up miner

if this is successful, you have now somewhat an idea what is the culprit.

1278  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Mitigating the risk of Ethereum switching to POS in 2018 on: November 15, 2017, 07:27:48 AM
As an educated miner, what are possible mitigating actions I can do to secure my mining investment given that there is a high probability that Ethereum will push through with the switch to POS in 2018?

I understand that I can always shift to another coin then, but what i'm really asking is, are there any PROACTIVE actions I can do TODAY that will reduce the risk of not being able to ROI on my mining investment?

Dude, ETH is not the only profitable coin around, and don't worry, every now and the new coins are always born, in 2017 alone there are new born coins that is profitable than ETH, Ex. ETN and PIRL.

Aside from the worst case scenario that could happen, you may do comments above

As a buyer how profitable is mining with nicehash ? Can someone tell me if there is any website similar  to nicehash ?

Zpool is also paying in BTC, but not dependent on clients buying hash.

1280  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Mining in Nicehash or Ethermine - where is more profitable on: November 14, 2017, 02:13:49 PM
Hello colleagues, please let us know what is better - mining at Nicehash or Ethermine or somewhere else?
I know that there are a lot of differences, I understand that in nicehash is better, because your work turns straight into the bitcoin, but I still expect an opinion.
thanks


It will always depend on your preferences, nicehash is no brainer, you will receive your profits converted to BTC directly, rewards are dependent thru NH client buying hash, while Ethermine paid thru ETC/ETH/ZEC Coins and will require some trading skills in order to fully utilized the mined coins, rewards are dependent on the mined blocks by the pools.
