My very first mining rig

in crypto •  7 years ago 

Very cool. Thanks for posting. Did you join a pool? If so, can you post some details on which pool and your choice of mining software?

I have a couple old PC's I'd like to convert and tried to set-up with Linux but couldn't figure it out, so I've gone back to darkside using Windows 7.

Thanx.

      Thanks delonge,
      I have 2 old PC's and I'm planning to use the one with a GTX460 GPU. I reformatted the HDD last night and did a clean install of Win7. Set-up an account on Nanopool and downloaded CGMiner but haven't been able to figure out the correct set-up for URL, Worker, etc. I'm not a propellerhead so it takes me a while - but hey I can sharpen a chainsaw!

        gtx460 sounds like a very old gpu, I don't think you can mine with that, for ethereum you need gpu with 3gb video memory, and it's hashing power should be higher than electricity cost or it will be a waste of time money and gpu.

          I suspect you're correct. I managed to get CGMiner 4.10 operating by creating a .bat file but my Hashrate is looking like 0.000 h/s and I haven't figured out the Settings feature, so I don't know if my GPU is being used. Don't want to give-up just yet.

            Well it is your choice but think if all your work costs so little, I got gtx660 on desktop but I don't try to mine with it even so it is reported to be able to do 40h/s on zcash but with all crypto instability and rising difficulty it will be useless very soon.
