Have you tried nice hash site? Their software is also very good to mine by your own.

NiceHash requires 64 bit windows. My windows 7 setup was 32 bit. With upgrading to Windows 10 I don't know if that will remedy that issue or not. I hope so. It would be nice if the only hardware I need is the graphics card!

nice mate, I'll follow to see how you do with this. Looking forward to seeing how an old computer goes.

Woah! Run.bat? Reminds me of win3.5!!!

Interesting - have started staking some OKcash, will have to take a look at this too

Cheers

Man, I should do something like this too! I've maybe 5-6 old vista era pcs and laptops that are just sitting in my shop doing nothing. i'm clicking some links and learning more... thanks.

Nice mate !
Upvoted and continue posting this quality stuff.

In June of this year, someone gave me an old gaming PC with an Nvidia GTX 660. I researched mining, and started out mining Monero back when it was trading for half of the value it has today. I summarized most of my experience in a blog post a while back, but I think it's always interesting when other people give mining a shot with gaming PCs or other hardware that they already own.

You'll have to let me know how it goes with SmartCash. Now that XMR has spiked in value, it's not nearly as worthwhile for me to continue to mine with that PC. Maybe I can consider switching it over since it runs 24/7.

Thanks for sharing.

SmartCash is a great place to start. The rewards program is dope!
