⭐️⭐️⭐️[ANN] MinerGate - smart-mining multipool for most profitable crypto ⭐️⭐️⭐️

[MinerGate_official]

I was thinking about installing MinerGate the other day, but many youtube videos put me off it.  But at the same time, many of those channels are very much elitists when it comes to mining (as many people on this board are too).
I mean, I am a "noob".. I only started a week ago.. which was possibly one of the worst possible weeks I could have started.

Testing it for myself is the only real way I can completely form an opinion of it. I'm having no luck with other miners so it's worth the shot.

Don't worry, it's definitely worth it

Well if you are a noob, the most important thing is to verify your payments.  So sure, use minergate, use whatever software you like or are comfortable with.  Then, according to your hashrate and calculators, verify that you are getting roughly the same amount each day in payouts.  If not, change pool or software, and verify again until you find a decent payout scheme.

I used to mine the good old fashioned way, even set a gpu on fire once, good times! This software is insanely convenient though, I got back into mining because of this.
Developers, what I would LOVE to see is when a rig goes offline, I get that notification on my mobile app, but it does not tell me which one, would be nice if it did.

Thanks for the feedback! We'll definitely think about launching such notifications.

What do we Expect for Crypto Markets in 2018

2017 was a year of many emotions and updates that managed to increase interest in cryptocurrency. Both drama increased the capitalization to 500 billion dollars.
Investors from all over the world turned to risk discretionary amounts to investments mainly Bitcoin, as an example, Mark Cuban, a renowned entrepreneur recommends investing at least 10% of your investments as part of a route to be a millionaire.

By 2018 we hope to see surprises, many governments have not established their official position before the crypto exchange control. For example, the United States, the president of the Federal Reserve of San Francisco, John Williams, said that there is no official plan of the Reserve to issue a digital currency in the short term time. However, it did announce an ongoing study on the possibility of doing so in the future.

OMG why make a alliance with the devil? Your reputation is not good anyway but now ... read it yourself https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1964190.0

I'm almost a minute away to send dogecoin to Freewallet from Bittrex. Now, I'm cancelling my intention to use Freewallet. The android wallet apps looks nice and promising - but I believe you guys. This wallet looks like scam, when I checked their website not much information about Freewallet developer/operator, no company details, no address, no real identity - definitely a scam. Scammers now are so good, they can come out with a very convincing app. When I looked back at the app after put aside its aesthetic features, I then realized a lot of fishy things in the app. There are so many scammers now in the crypto-currency market. I'm also have problem with Bittrex, I have transferrred alt coins that I gain from faucet to Bittrex, only when I want to withdraw the accumulated fund, then I realized their transaction fee for withdrawal is exorbitantly high. I am using Bittrex to store alt coins since they have wallets for almost all alt coins. The real problem in crypto-currency is to find multi-wallet service provider and this is where I think the soft spot exploited by Freewallet/Bittrex. Multi wallet is tempting since it makes easy to manage all the alt coins. Good work guys - spread the word!. Need to shut down all these scammers.

How to set up hardware for efficient mining with MinerGate

When it comes to mining, even the tiniest bit of processing power matters. It may sound like the difference between 10Mh/s and 10.2Mh/s is insignificant, but given enough time, this difference can generate significant income.

So, if you ever used MinerGate GUI miners (or the console versions) there are a few things you may want to implement, in order to maximize your ROI.

The GUI MinerGate Tricks

1) The most important thing when you start mining is to run the Benchmark tool. You can find it in the MinerGate menu, between “Miner” and “Achievements”. Depending on your hardware, the benchmark may take between 3 and 6 minutes. The first step is to do a general hardware benchmark and then the tool will iterate through all the coins you can mine using your configuration and run specific tests for each of them. At the end of it, you will see an average calculated and an explainer. This is a very important step to calibrate your expectations, not only in terms of energy consumption, but also in terms of how much revenue you can generate with this activity. The benchmark results are showing how you perform, on average, compared with the general performance of the network.

2) Use Smart Mining

Smart mining is a very nice innovation of MinerGate and it basically switches the coin you’re mining, based on the ROI. In order to do that, MinerGate gets the current prices of all the potential coins you can mine, makes an average, and picks the most profitable coin. The time window is one hour, so you will always mine the coin which was the most profitable during the last hour. You may find this to be extremely useful because it allows you to create an auto-pilot setup. Sort of an AI which decides how to spend your precious hashing power, knowing that you will always get the best results.

3) Set Your GPU Mining Intensity

If your GPUs are Nvidia (which is one of the most popular GPU producers anyway), then you should see a setting in your GUI miner, called “Intensity”. If you don’t see GPU at all, it means it was disabled at startup and you should enable it by clicking “Menu” -> “View” -> “Show GPU Mining”. Setting your intensity will also change the energy consumption of your GPU, so it’s important to have some ways to measure this as well. Unless you’re extremely lucky, you won’t hit the perfect combination from the first time, so it’s very important to experiment with various settings. Please take into account the fact that a higher intensity will also raise the temperature significantly and also increase the risk of damaging your equipment. It takes a consistent amount of trial and error until you find the perfect combination, but in the end it will all wroth it.

The Console MinerGate Trick

When you start your miners in the console, you have two important settings: the number of threads (for CPU mining) and the intensity (for GPU mining, Nvidia only).

CPU mining is not profitable these days, but if you want to try it out (who knows, maybe you have your own solar plant somewhere) then you should experiment with it. Choosing this number to be equal to the total number of cores of your CPUs is considered bad practice and it will also lower your energy consumption. Setting it somewhere around two-thirds of the total numbers (ex: if you have 16 cores, you may set it between 11 and 13) seems to be working reasonably for the majority of setups, but here again, you should do your own tests.

For GPUs, you can set the intensity. You have a range between 1 and 4, 1 being the smallest intensity, 4 being the highest. The recommended setting is 2, but then again, testing on your own configurations should give the best results. Again, be aware that a very high intensity not only could increase your energy consumption but it may permanently damage your equipment.

As you can see, the MinerGate clients are versatile and easy to use. The key part is to always find the perfect balance between the hashing power you squeeze form your hardware and the energy consumption.

Happy mining!

I thought I'd add in my opinion. I used this a few weeks so I could see if their payouts and calculator were correct and this is what I found.

Every single coin I mined with this site was under HALF what I should have have gotten. Take bytecoin for example. I was mining it when you could get thousands a day very easily with AMD cards. Their payout was in the 100s and that was with PPLNS on every coin that offered it with more than 48 hours of mining to stabilize. The numbers are so off it's insulting. Doubly so when I moved over to another pool and received MORE than MG was saying.

It's a really cool idea that comes at the expense of the owners robbing you. If you are just starting this might be an option but realize this company is preying on those exact people to rip them off. Get yourselves onto a real pool and real miners as soon as you can.

Official MinerGate Android app update v.2.4

Dear miners,

This July, Google has made a serious update to Google Play Development policies. The major changes include a ban of several more categories of apps, including cryptocurrency mining applications.

In order to comply with the updated requirements, we had to remove the mining option from the latest version of our application. The new v.2.4 available in Google Store is designed for monitoring and managing your mining process – both your own hardware and cloud mining.

With the new v.2.4 app you can track your miner’s status, view dashboard, use mining calculator and withdraw your funds, as well as buy cloud mining contracts and track their status remotely, from any corner of the globe. All you need is your Android-based smartphone and Internet connection. You can download the app here.

In MinerGate we are striving to provide you with the high-quality software, to make your mining experience easy and efficient. Support of such scale companies as Google is essential for further development of both the company and entire sphere, that’s why we’ve decided to meet them halfway and change the application’s functionality in favor of remote mining monitoring, as told in their updated guideline.

MinerGate mobile app improperly banned by Google Play

MinerGate strongly believes in legitimate mining and its mass adoption. We have always been operating in compliance with all rules and policies. Adhering to the requirements of app stores on the market is essential in developing of the mining industry forward.

After Google Play Store Developer policy has been updated, Google Play blocked mining applications, but only those that “remotely manage the mining of cryptocurrency” or mine outside the user’s device. With that in mind, MinerGate provided a timely update to the mobile application on 21 August so the proper consensus between the project and the marketplace would be sustained. MinerGate app with its 1m+ downloads has been removed from the Store on August 29th regardless of the efforts put in place. And we are still hoping to resolve the situation in the nearest future.

MinerGate has always sought to protect the interests of its users, and we are working on a solution to maintain our service continuously.

You can always download our application from our website: https://minergate.com/downloads/mobile
We are sure to bring the good news soon.
