I was trying to mine Solana on unMinables, but using my Radeon 580 GPU it would be about 5 to 10 years before I see a payout.

Is there another coin at present I might try with a more realistic payout time period?

Thanks for the reply.

I am not well versed with Linux.

I have 6 AMD RX 580 GPUs.

I do have them setup with windows 10 but the system does not seem to work all that
well and seems to be constantly doing a diagnostic because of all the gpu cards.

So I though I might give Linux a try.

However, if you know of a good, recent Windows tutorial, please suggest that as well.

I would like to setup a Linux mining rig for alt coins.

I have AMD RX 580 GPUs.

Please suggest a tutorial. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply.

As I recall, back then there were problems with the MIST wallet and I went to the Parity wallet. Unknown to me, at the time, the parity wallet must have picked up the Mist one and somewhere along the line the MIST one got encrypted. I have no password for it in my notes.

Thought maybe I could find the earlier unencrypted one but so far no luck.

Therefore, there does not seem to be any road forward. I pick passwords at random so brute force is out.

Going back to 2016, I have some backups of Parity and Mist.

There may be some ETH left  in them.

Can I get them workable again?

I have downloaded the wallet and it has synced.

What do I do next?
Is this coin minable?
Where are the free coins?
Is there a tutorial?

So far, I have only found tutorials to claim Bitcoin Gold using Coinomi.

To my understanding, Coinomi seems to be only for Android Wallets.
I do not have an android device but do have my private keys.

I have placed the bitcion Gold Core Wallet on my computer and synced it.

What should I do now?
Is there a tutorial?

EDIT: I just learned that I may be able to use The Exodus Wallet. Please comment.

EDIT: I just learned that I may be able to an Android Emulator. Please Comment.

I wanted to buy a few gift cards with bitcoin.

The site gyft.com will not seem to let me signup with my desktop computer but it seems the site egifter.com will.

Both sites are very similar, may be owned by the same company, and both seem to have a lot of bad reviews.

There is another site - https://giftoff.com - that may be OK but seems only for the UK.

Not sure what to do. Please advise. Thanks.

I agree from what I am calculating. Even if my electric was free, as I see it, just the wear and tear on the power supply would eat up what little profit they would produce.

Thanks all for the replies.

As I understand it, the ethereum pre sale wallet json file had a field called "encseed".

Also now, as I Understand it, the current account uses version 3. I see no field called "encseed". In the version 3 does that field exist and what is it called?

Thanks. Any additional info or reference is helpful.

Until now I have selling my Antminer S5s.

Should I consider restarting them?

Electric here is 14 cents per kW.

EDIT - Happened to thing of this handy calculator

https://www.cryptocompare.com/mining/calculator/btc?HashingPower=1&HashingUnit=TH%2Fs&PowerConsumption=500&CostPerkWh=0.14

It does not look promising.

All I need is a procedure or method that given a specific wallet file such as mywallet.json and a password to try against it that either returns a valid or not valid response for the password written in C or C# that is complete. No imports.

I could not get pyethrecover to compile for me due to imports either not being found or compiling with errors and it is written in Python.

C# would be the best for me then I can use the Microsoft IDE.

Due to a confusion, some ETH was sent to an account I have in the Parity wallet. I do not remember where the account came from, never intended to use it, and have no password for it. I have since stopped using Parity.

I googled this extensively and tried to get pyethrecover to work for me with no luck.

The fact that it is done in Python does not help as I am not very good at either Python or Linux.

If I could just get a routine in C that verifies passwords, then I could write the front end for it and run the recovery program from time to time and try to get it back.

Is anyone able to help.

For Ethereum - Using Parity Wallet - Having a problem much like this one:

https://forum.ethereum.org/discussion/10604/rejected-transaction

When I first tried to send something happened and not knowing what to do I rejected the transaction.

Now the transaction appears as if it was another wallet of mine in parity with the send address and the amount sent and is not
getting to the real destination. The amount has been withdrawn from my wallet.

It is kindof not here and not there.

Please help. Thanks.

Any chance you will update your guide for Ethereum, Zcash, etc?

I thought my problems were over. Perhaps not.

It did sync as in my previous message, but the new wallet appears not to have been saved when I closed the application and the application would not close.

I am trying again?

Strange. I had no problems until yesterday.

Thank you so much. After a whole night trying, I finally did find the MultiBit Classic update to 0.5.19.

I installed that, imported the keys, and it did sync at last.
As I understand it, I still need to keep a working version of the Classic for the keys I am currently using until I no longer need them.

Later, I will try the HD.

Thanks, again.

Currently, I am using Multibit Classic 0.5.18
(I think there is an update to 0.5.19 but I'll be darned if I can find it)
(Also, I have a 32 bit computer and know of no 32 bit MultibitHD version or I would consider using that)

At any rate I have been using the Classic successfully until today when it said it could not load my wallet and was going to the backup and now it seems to just hang up synchronizing.

Please Help. Thanks.

I figured this all out by reading all the material on the site.

The miners are remote to my location. I use the stats to check on their operation.
Sometime in the future, perhaps, it could list all workers separately.
If one goes down it would be readily visible.
