A guide for those who want to get one of the most well known altcoins. Mining Monero () is as easy as mining Zcash and Ethereum (), and you can do it with your CPU, using even your old laptops.

In this guide we will take a closer look at the installation process for the Minergate and Claymore miners (its version for the CPU, called CryptoNote). For AMD cardholders, Ethereum mining is the most profitable, however Monero stands out for a number of unique characteristics - above all, the level of confidentiality. It has many fans and periodically there are strong price increases.

The entire process of downloading, installing and configuring the mining software takes less than 20 minutes. Here are a few reasons to mine Monero. • Bitcoins are easy to exchange for fiat money. Thus, mining Monero allows you to replenish your bank account. • Monero can also be traded on exchanges. • Experienced and lucky traders can make good money on price jumps, given Monero’s high volatility. • Since Monero received recognition in darknet in 2016, it remains one of the most expensive altcoins in the market.

• Mining Monero, based on the CryptoNote algorithm, is associated with less power consumption than Ethash / Dagger Hashimoto (Ethereum, Ethereum Classic, UBQ) and Equihash-basedcoins (Zcash, Zencash, Hush). This allows you to lower the temperature of the equipment and extend its service life. At last, the creation of a large Monero position using mining allows us to gain from the growth in the price of cryptocurrency in the future - with less risk than with a normal purchase. The mining and storage of cryptocurrency is similar to the concept of 'Buy cheap - sell expensive.' The only problem is that most buyers do not understand the technical analysis and do it at the most inopportune time.

Sep 28, 2017 - Today we're going to show you how to mine Monero on a Mining Pool. Monero (XMR) is a Cryptonote algorithm based cryptocurrency, it relies on Ring Signatures in order to provide a certain degree of privacy when making a transaction. Monero is a Proof of Work cryptocurrency that can be miner with. Multiple global mining servers and daemons for stability. PPLNS payment method for best profit. DDOS Protection reducing downtime. Monitoring of each rig add.workerID to username. Hashrate history easily keep track of your hashrate. Custom Difficulty append +DIFF to address. Direct to exchange mining - all address.

Cryptocurrency mining turns your computer equipment into an asset that generates profit. In addition, its value in the secondary market is kept at a high level and even grows. The graphics cards purchased for mining in 2015 and 2016 were often sold at a higher price than the purchase price because of the high demand in the market in 2017. In other words, you can earn good money by mining cryptocurrency on your equipment and selling it when the target is reached. In this case, the sale on the secondary market allows you to compensate for the original value, and the coins produced are a pleasant bonus. Monero’s hashing algorithm is different from Bitcoin’s, and so it is incompatible with ASICs designed for bitcoin mining. The Monero algorithm is called CryptoNight.

It is demanding in terms of RAM and thus prevents the use of ASIC chips. Monero is intentionally designed in such a way as to be optimal for mining on central processors and video cards. The main feature of Monero is the use of a protocol based on ring signatures designed to make it the leading anonymous cryptocurrency (among other alternatives are Dash and Zcash). Blocks in the Monero network are generated approximately every 2 minutes, unlike 10 minutes for bitcoin. Tryouts with different graphics processor options will allow you to find a card with the best price / performance / power ratio (in MH/s per currency unit). Dash DASH Mining With Amd Gpu here.

AMD cards, as a rule, outperform NVIDIA models in Ethereum mining using the EthashAlgo client. In the case of Equihash and the EWBF Miner, AMD cards perform on an equal footing with NVIDIA. For mining Monero, cards of both brands will suit. The advantage of CryptoNight algorithm lies in the possibility of mining with CPUs.

A powerful processor from the family of Intel i5 or i7 will allow anyone wishing to participate in the mining of cryptocurrency. Consider the following GPUs: AMD RX 470/480, RX 570/580, R9 or HD 7990/7950 family. In the secondary market, try to buy cards from gamers, not from miners, and, preferably, under warranty. Carefully compare the performance, power consumption, availability and cost of different GPUs.

NVIDIA On systems with NVIDIA cards, you should use the EWBF program-miner, but if you have a powerful processor (Intel i5, i7 or analog from AMD), you can mine on it using Minergate. The Minergate platform does not conflict with the EWBF or Claymore miners, so you can conduct multiple mining of several cryptocurrencies. AMD On systems with AMD video cards, you can bring Monero mining to the next level using the Claymore miner, specially optimized for the CryptoNight algorithm on the company's cards. To install it, go back to the Minergate downloads page, scroll down and go to. Download the bat-file for XMR by clicking on the download button on the right. Go back up and go to the forum bitcointalk. Download the miner and extract it to the desktop.

Copy the previously downloaded bat file to the Claymore CryptoNote folder on your desktop. It should be in the same directory as the executable file of the program.

After you finish configuring Windows, start the miner by double clicking on the bat-file created earlier. If the Windows Firewall pops up, confirm your choice. Claymore CryptoNote will boot and begin to mine Monero. In our example, when using the Minergate platform, four RX 470 cards calculated about 1000 hashes per second, but under Claymore's control, the performance of the same system increased to 2,400 x / s. This is almost 2.5 times more! The Claymore client has proved to be very successful in working with AMD cards.
