Until now I used my computing power for fold@home, quite fun, let's see how mining works.
The thing I didn't like, there no easy set up guide on how to have a set-and-forget configuration for a modern GPU.
I decided to write a guide for anyone interested.
The aims for this guide are:
- Set and forget
- Whatever you are mining will be converted to Bitcoin and stored in your wallet
- Have your computer to mine the most profitable coin at any given time
1. Set up an account with a profit-switching cryptocoin mining pool, ie Multipool.us
2. Download the latest version of ccminer from this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=770064.0
3. Modify the bat file to suit your need. Mine at the moment is
Code:
ccminer-x64-35-50-52 -a x11 -o stratum+tcp://eu.multipool.us:11111 -u *insert username* -p *insert password* --cpu-priority 3
Three variables you can change to increase payout
a. Mining pool
b. Mining software
c. Mining algorithm
From my research and at this moment in time (06/06/2015) the best option seems to be:
a. Mining pool
Multipool.us (rare downtimes, one of the first ones, highly regarded)
b. Mining software
ccminer 1.6.4 with pools and API - opensource (tpruvot)
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=770064.0
c. Mining algorithm
x11
AT THE MOMENT I CONSIDER THIS A WORK IN PROGRESS GUIDE, IF ANY OF YOU GUYS HAVE A BETTER SOLUTION PLEASE LET ME KNOW!
THANKS
