If the Windows Defender detected it. It has already stopped the execution of the file and removed it from the system.
Anyway, it won't hurt to run a full scan to check if any other files are compromised too.
Also, always remember to check the checksum of the file you download from the internet, especially crypto-related software.

Segwit address can take care of the high fees but there is also the problem of block time.
People won't like to wait for 20 minutes or so just for two block confirmation of the transaction.
ETH would be a better choice for it.
Still, it's a step in the right direction.

1. About the hardware of this miner.

There is just one information about it that it contains RX 580, Celeron CPU and 8GB RAM.



2. Regarding Profitability. Spoilers: There isn't any.

Let's consider going with ETH first. As it contains an RX580 GPU. The max hashrate it can provide is 31 MH/s in the best case scenario consuming around 200W for the whole system. Considering that we can estimate it will earn 0.0021 ETH per day with an electricity cost of $0.48 per day. ( 10 cents per KW )
So, in a year we will only make 0.7665 ETH considering that hashrate remains the same excluding electricity.
If we include electricity it will result in a net loss of $62.5 with the current price.

Whereas

In the website, it says that if you mine ETH and sell it at the current price after 1 year you can make $137 which is rough ~ 0.95 ETH.



How?

Second, let's go with Monero (XMR). As everyone knows that Monero is switching to RandomX algorithm. It'll make mining obsolete for GPUs. Still, they think you can make this much at the current price.



Third, lets go with BTC. According to the website, you can make $231 at the current BTC price.



For this, the machine needs to have an hashrate of 13250 GH to make that much in a year.
There is seriously no information about the hardware used to achieve that much in SHA256.

3. Verdict

As mining as hit a downturn and you can easily build a rig for half the cost with similar performance.
Why buy this?
It's not at all worth it and in the end, it'll end up being just another paperweight.

Use '--print-devices' to display the number of devices available
Use '--opencl-devices=N' where N is an integer value to specify the number of available devices you want to use.

So, if you have 6 GPUs connected and do not want to use one.
'--opencl-devices=5'

Holy smokes!
That's an amazing profit for a 1080ti with the current market price though.
Is there a thread for it in the Announcement section?
I must have missed it.

I still remember the time when in 2017, there were these newly announced low cap coins which resulted in huge profits compared to ETH and such. One such coin I remember was Signatum.

I just ran a custom scan for the miner folder and Windows Defender didn't detect anything.
Can you check the SHA-256 checksum of the zip file that you downloaded?

Your point is valid.
Ethereum has something that BTC never had and it took the already defined structure of BTC and improved upon it. (Smart contracts)
So did XMR which focused on privacy.
TBH, the top 50 coins in coinmarketcap are more than enough to solve most of the problems in the crypto space.
The problem comes when there are so many releases of new coins which are technically a fork of an already existing coin with nothing new in features, just that it has a new name or a new algorithm.

Well, $30M USDT may look like a small amount but if it's used properly.
It'll help to gain momentum in price and that's all it's required to push a bullish trend.

To extract the file, you can try:
'sudo -tar xzvf' instead of 'sudo -tar xvf'

If you are facing permission issues, just use chmod command.
The same for it is:
'chmod 777 filename.extension'

Then try extracting again.

I read it somewhere and I'm not sure how much of it holds true for Monero.
It stated that if you use a remote node and not a local node to broadcast a transaction in Monero, that remote node can track the IP address of the broadcaster and link it with the public address.
It can be a big drawback in the privacy of the sender if that's the case.

Did you install the graphics driver for RX560?
If not try this driver.
It has compatibility with RX560 card.
Also, see if disconnecting GTX 1050ti card makes RX560 detectible by the miner.

You mean cannot allocate DAG because of 4GB video memory in 1050ti.
See, Windows OS reserves some memory in a dedicated VGA. So even though DAG size of ETH hasn't reached 4GB, you won't be able to mine in Windows no matter what.
The only solution can be to use a Linux distro to mine as there are no such problems.

Glad to see that you have maintained your rig.
I do not own an R9 Fury but I do have Vega 56 and with electricity prices at $0.11 per unit. It barely makes even for the electricity cost even when mining the most profitable coin at the moment.
What is the electricity price that you're paying?
Mining turtle coin?

First of all, ASUS B250 Mining Expert MOB doesn't support 19 normal GPUs. You need a mix of AMD and Nvidia cards to get all 19 GPUs to work together.
Ex. 13 AMD RX 580 and 6 Nvidia P106-100.
I'm not sure about the limit of Nvidia cards that you can plug but it might be 12 or 13 GPUs.
So, in practice, the board will only support 12/13 RTX 2080ti.

1. You can but I won't recommend it at all. For this, you can either get an Add2PSU or ATX 24 Pin dual cable.


2. As you are using RTX 2080ti, I'll recommend 6-pin PCIe Risers. I cannot stress this enough but do not use SATA cable to power riser.


3. You simply cannot use a Celeron processor as it doesn't have as much raw power to handle this kind of configuration.
So, it must be i5 or i7 and minimum 8GB of RAM.
Also, do not use Windows, go with any Linux distros you feel comfortable with or mining oriented Linux distros like Simplemining, HiveOS, etc.

Exodus wallet as a hot wallet for sending and receiving payments. I'm using it for the past two years and I never faced any issue.
Also, you control your private keys.

Ledger Nano S as a cold wallet for long term investment holds. As it is a hardware wallet, it is way much secure than other kinds of wallets.
Also, never purchase a hardware wallet from a third party site. Always make a purchase directly from their website.

There are many fraudulent cases that have happened using PayPal to buy cryptocurrencies.


You plan to support 100 countries, so will you support converting coins to local fiat for the countries in the list?

Also, Any business that deals with the transfer of money has to take KYC according to the norms of our financial stature. $100k monthly transfer without verification is big red flag then.

Well, everything we say is just speculation but I do believe if the adoption of cryptocurrencies increase in time then we'll surely see a really good boost to the price.
Majority of people see BTC as an investment and not as a cryptocurrency to use for a daily purpose which is a plus point as it leaves a lot of BTC out of the circulation.
I think $25000 a coin is possible by the end of 2020 or the start of 2021.

There are many more CPUs running at a current moment rather than GPUs. So if they are all turned on at the same time and pointed towards Monero, the hash will be at a crazy number.
It will also be easier to create a miner for it to run in FPGA because of the compatibility with CPU mining. So, that's that.
Still, I hope early adopters can crunch some hashes and earn a good number of coins before it hits the fan.

What are the temperatures like with the stock cooler?
I was using the stock cooler with R7 1700 and I managed to get it to run @ 3.9GHz all cores but the voltage was so high and the power draw that it consumed around 210W from the wall, Veg 56 GPU was idle and temperatures reached 80 C.

It might be a good time to buy some altcoins as they are down quite considerably but wait a while and make a sound decision.
Always remember, never to invest more than you can afford to lose.
I hope that 2020 and 2021 bring good news to crypto as a whole and we see green all over it.
