Hello. I want to learn and understand basics of mining, before i decide if i want to jump into this train or not, so i have a low spec PC, with ASUS HD 4890 video card, i know its old, inefficient, power hungry heat generator, but i want to learn with it, start with it.
Now the problem is - i cant seem to find ANY miner which would work with it, I was reading all the guides and forums like crazy, but still nothing. Most modern miners simply do not support my card.
SGminer and CGminer kind-ish works for me, i mean it loads my GPU but the "WU" - good work done is always at 0 and all i get is HW errors. Thus im doing nothing.
There are very little info about solo alt coins mining. While im very interested as others call "shit" coins and solo/pool mining of them.
From more popular alt coins I was trying to mine XMR (Monero) and Dash but their algorithms are different and maybe not supported by old miners?
I tried lots of different coins, algorithms and miners, but i feel like im shooting randomly and expect anything out of it.
Which algorithms are possible with my GPU?
Which miners? and Alt coins i could try to "mine" and learn.
Any info, guides - anything will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
