It so simple, just install QT Wallet (related to coin you are using), then setting up a coin config (am talking about Windows), since you are using Hive OS you can do something like this: Guide

Good Luck, Buddy!

Ah..straight to the point.

Dude, you post in the wrong section, all about Bitcoin, whatever it is, you should post on Bitcoin section, in your case (Mining Hardware). -->https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=76.0

Am not too sure that what you were asking is Bitcoin Miner (ASIC), by the way. But if it's true, your question answered above.

I've never seen merit give-away for doing something like art review or games. So, no argue.

Contest
I know one contest that has a good concept. I was as the sMerit sponsor here for 4 round plus current round (round 5). This is an excellent contest, just look at the thread: Joe's Signatureless Challenge --> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3055616.0;topicseen

Showing that you have good posts but you have to ask for merit. (Post Review).
A bit different with a contest above.
For honest, I didn't do something like this. I think as long as a reviewer competent enough to review the content; it's fair enough.

Yeah, that's how pooled mining works, except solo mining pool such as solo.ckpool.org (Bitcoin solo mining pool). This kind of pool would give full block reward (-fee) to their miner who was solving the block.

---

Edit: seems has mentioned above me!

What you are doing equal to solo mining, if you don't have enough Hashrate, may you wouldn't solving blocks. Current Network Hashrate was 1665.8173 (GH/s), how about your Hashrate?

Basically, this is how pooled mining works:

1. The pool will take all of their miner's hashes,
2. Trying to solve block transactions,
3. Capturing how much each miner contribute when trying to solving a block,

And finally, when this pool was solving a block.

4. The pool will pay their miner proportionally. Depends on how much contribution from each miner.

You can do solo mining with pointing your rig to Music coin wallet nor build your own private pool. But with Network Hashrate 853.15 Gh/s (at this moment), you have a bit chance of solving blocks.

Yes, they are exist. 

Finding profitable coins isn't easy at all. Experience and more research needed. I know one of the groups that you were talking about. *****
I also do some kind of that (sometimes) but am alone, when in a good mood only. Cause sometimes we need to spend much time to do it.

Not all of that variable used.

It depends on the coin itself, for every how many blocks they will retarget their difficulty. Let's say Bitcoin as an example. Bitcoin difficulty will retargeted every 2016 solved-block, with 10 minute block time, mean Bitcoin will re-targeting its difficulty every two weeks. If 2016 block solved before two weeks, means difficulty too low and will increase the difficulty.

How fast or slow block solving also related to Network Hashrate. So, difficulty related to Network Hashrate, Block Time, and time of re-targeting itself.

That's a right decision from Google.

As we know, majority people who use chrome extension for mining are people who don't know about mining itself, they don't know their CPU resource will be used, and it potentially damages its devices.

They only want, how to easily mining. 

I'm focused on this question.
Since we don't know about how GPUs power management work (which power source would be load at max, PCIe bus or PCIe Power), so yes using SATA is risky. For honest, I use SATA for powering my risers, but limit it to one rail one risers, running for a few months without issue so far.

---

Then about your question, Dual-SATA to 6-pin PCIe adapter or One-SATA to 6-pin PCIe better to use for powering a riser.

If those Dual-SATA to 6-pin use two SATA connector on the same rail it isn't different with you are using One-SATA to 6-pin, except use Dual-SATA to 6-pin powered by SATA connector from two different PSU rail.

I think everyone has the same question at this time "which coin." I agree with fanatic26, do research. But not only about the future prices, but also how you can optimize to mine that coins.

And the best answer today is: 

I don't know how many guides have been made, before. Like I said above, I only active in Mining (Altcoin) section at least for this few months.


Then I found a thread about how hard to get merits and posted in the wrong section (not in meta so that I can read it), and now, seem that thread has been (Deleted/Off-limits/Ignored)  . That's why I made this thread. Just tried to do the right thing! (IMO)!

Ah...Would be a good quotation related to this topic.

Seem fair enough, let's do it. Starting today, right? 


Same as I felt.
But I choose to post simple things like this thread.  So people know how to get merits wisely. 

A bit agree with this.

But don't worry OP, you can calculate the possibility from coins technical information including current coin price so that you can do short term mining.

You only need to find that coin itself. You can find newly coins at Announcements (Altcoins) section: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=159.0

On each thread, you will find the coins info including coins algorithm, pool info, and any other technical info. Pointing your rig to mining pool of the coin you choose (if you want to do pooled mining) or can use their QT-wallet for solo mining.

Why not, your skill has a deep correlation with Crypto, and maybe you can prove yourself at Development & Technical Discussion. Or whichever section that related to your skill. (ATM)

I just a bit sad about hows people trying to get merits, and doing HARDCORE ways to get it. 

I really don't care about merits, even all of my received merits came from Altcoin mining section. And I spend almost all of my sMerit as Merits sponsor in Joe's Signatureless Challenge

Yeah. I like this one.


Ignore what I bolded.
I fact, yes a majority of merited people are people who have registered for at least three or four years. But that's not a measurement. It only proves that their registration time makes them have a lot of experience and knowledge from this forum.

Look at nullius, I know he is an early adopter. But nullius account created in 2017 and he is on the 3rd place most merited user here. It proves that knowledgeable and has a lot of useful posts more important than registration time.

I felt a bit sad about how people tried to get merits. A day ago I found a newbie thread asking "HOW TO GET MERIT?" that's the exact title (capitalized). I saw almost similar suggestions from other members in a few pages. Somethings like this:

make a quality post,
make useful info,
help to solve another member trouble, etc.

even some people suggesting unuseful one such as:

buying an account,
merits exchange, etc.

---

And this is the wise way to get merits (Geraldo Version).

1. Just say's, Merits is nothing. Why? Because merits came to you when you were doing something useful, doing the right things, whatever good things. Don't be burdened by Merit, remember cause merit is nothing (that's only prize of what you do).

2. Keep spread positive things.

3. Post on the topic that you really mastered.

If you are GPUs miners
Go to Altcoin discussion, help other people that troubled with their rig, when you have useful info, give the community that info, and so on.

If you are the coders
Go to software sections (I don't know where is that, since I was only active in Altcoin mining,  ).

If you are traders
Find some board that discusses trading, give your positive view, give your analysis about future price, or whatever.

And so on...

4. How lucky you are?
Whatever it is, luck is exists. I know a few members that have a good knowledge and always post useful things but receive a bit merits. But no problem, even they didn't care about merits, -they just want to be useful-.

---

And remember the main important thing is Merits is Nothing, so Don't be burdened by Merit. Do your best.

I'm curious about OP's decision after a few pages discussion. And I found it on the third page. Seems like OP's rig has turn-on back. Cheers OP
