Mining $LUX with your computer's GPU is much easier than you might think.
First we will cover how to mine #Lux using an NVIDIA GPU on a Windows 10 computer.
(via the ccminer algorithm)
LUX has all the links you will need on their bitcointalk.org page at this link.
Here is the information I used:
(1) First download the ccminer from this Github link:
(2) Unzip the file to a folder on your computer.
(3) Create your Batch Script.
The unzipped file should look like this:
Right click and create a new .txt file with the information below.
Save the .txt file as "start.bat" (a batch file):
You can copy and paste the text from here but please put in your LUX wallet address.
===========================================================
@echo off
setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_MAX_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_MAX_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
:loop
ccminer -a phi -o stratum+tcp://futurecoins.club:6667 -u YOUR LUX ADDRESS HERE -p c=LUX
=========================================================
If you need help creating a LUX wallet address please see this tutorial.
4. Finally, select your start.bat file to let her rip!
This should open up your Windows Terminal as shown below:
5. You can check on your miner's progress by entering your wallet address on your pool's website.
If you use the FutureCoins pool go to FutureCoins.club, select the Wallet menu item and enter your Lux wallet address to monitor your mining progress.
