1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: I built my first mining rig and it cant mine ANYTHING, please help :) on: January 08, 2021, 05:24:22 AM
I need help again.


I now have 2 ftx 1060's ready to go. According to nicehash, nbminer daggerhasimoto
is the best algorithm to go with.

however there is no easy guide to figuring out how to install daggerhashimoto.

I have tried 10 different guides and every single one has some caviet somewhere that will not work. Whether its an hour in and "all of a sudden turns out it needs to be a wired connection" or some other bullshit. Something ALWAYS pops up to make sure I cannot mine eth with my cards.

Why is it so hard for somone to just make the algorithm easy to find/download and run?

Please help me, I am so bored of watching 20 minute youtube videos only for the caviet to be revealed at the end that it will not work.

You don't "install" daggerhashimoto, this the name of the algo

You have to provide more and clear information to let us help you

Which version of 1060 do you have? There's 3Gb and 6Gb

Simples answer: Just install Nicehash Miner: https://www.nicehash.com/download-center
Follow the steps and the app will install the miners and plugins for you



please tell us you have 6gb cards.

or once again you will have fucked yourself.


BTW I answer newbies not sure why you were told I don't.

I gave you a merit.  If you continue to post you will become a junior member.

Look for plugins on nicehash.

and load the phoenix plug in.


Then it should benchmark eth.  If you have a 6gb card.

I have 2x gtx msi 1060 6gb thank god. I will try to look into the phoenix plugin thank you all!

So I have another question yall!

Nicehash support isnt very good and they wont let me access any of the tokens I have mined.

Is there another service that allows you to mine using older cards that auto detect and use the gtx 970 4gb?

Thanks!

Just figure out what exactly nicehash is mining for you.. that way you can mine it "yourself" with the algo nicehash think is the best.

I am new to this, so I dug around for some info and according to nice hash using my gtx 970:
Gminercuda9.0+

Do I just need to google "Gminercuda9.0+" and get that to work with my old cards while I search for new cards? I am not exactly sure what you mean "mine it yourself" because I tried that and failed a bunch.

Thank you.

Thank you all for responding, this is going to sound like a sob story but I really appreciate you.

My car got stolen yesterday so I am already down thousands of dollars so to bounce from an extreme act of evil to your extremely generous responses and trying to help me out was really nice.

You ALL made me smile and I just thought I would share my appreciation for you all before I start responding.

@philipma1957
I tried messaging him but he doesnt accept messages from "newbies" so I am stuck. Oh well... thanks!

@rdluffy you are awesome, I did that and it worked fine. I agree with yall I am going to get rid of the 970s and get some used 1070's and mine eth.

@Gunday_07/Bitbtc8/Phoenix_PROG thanks for the comment Smiley

@VDraci one was free and I bought the other for 100$. i will probably return the one I bought.

@sxemini your right. Windows 10, I tried phoenixminer, voskae, claymore and much more.

@Samayuki i should have done more research, you are right.

Thank you all! I am sure I will have more questions as I cycle out these old graphics cards. Is there a specifc card that is the most bang for the buck? I don't want to have to buy the newest graphics cards, but not the crappiest.

Hello all!



Thank you for taking the time to read this, Ill try to be short. I have a mining rig I built with 8 gb of ram, 24 gb of virtual memory allocated (hard drive) and TWO gtx 970 4gb graphics cards (8gb total of gpu ram). and an i5 4 core processor. my display is using my motherboards integrated graphics card. I assumed this would be enough to mine even the crappiest of altcoins but it doesnt work.



I cant mine zcash, I cant mine ravencoin and I cant mine eth (not suprised by eth)



I have tried 20 youtube video tutorials setting up a simple mining operation but NOTHING works. I always get "cannot write dag file" from the eth miner or "memory dump" from the raven miner



What the heck am I doing wrong? I am very confused and thought this would be simple. I've already wasted a lot of money on this and would love some help.

Thank you Smiley
