I just started using this the other day, and I am fairly comfortable with computers in general, I do know some scripting language from playing text based games or writing triggers for zmud.
I have been mining for a few months, at the onset of monero.
I have a 1050 TI x 5 and +1 970 GTX rig,
1050 TI at work
A RX 470 paired with a 6 core AMD waiting for more units I am ordering and finally a 3960x intel which I am looking for a x79 board to do a hybrid CPU/GPU build maybe even make my own personal computer upgrade / miner.
So not a long time vet, but I am not exactly a noob either.
BUT I do want to say its a bit underwelming to me, the instructions which are supplied in the downloads or on website. How you configure things with MPH client for example. sgminer doesnt work at all, ive never used it.. the help file is obnoxious when you load. I tried in a batch, i na config, at the end of the file, tOK, I saw this setting information that SG miner asks for in the claymore readme files. OK. I dont know where it goes it still, a batch file? a command? How do i Make it execute in conjunction with the miner. If i make a config file that seems to read it, but what about all the kernel files. What if I dont want to use that miner and had a different one. I understand the hub switching but I can use others ports, and pools but then what happens to my currency? Also eth dual mining, no decred info on the website or ability to check balances. When you say 17xxx do i really leave that, and the rest is magic.. in the copy and paste when do i change usernames and dont I.
Yeah the whole config files and json files are new to me, and I dont get how I have .1 zclassic on exchange, or what that means. Thats confusing to. Where Ifigured I could come for help and guides its all people posting pools and what not, im not trying to read 100 pages of old data!! The fundamentals of this system or links to similar systems would be handy. If nothing else the miner control is nice, I just can only use it for a couple coins.
I also get big red fails on eth dual, its got to be a config issue at this point but that dual mining has a lot to it.. so in time ill figure it out im sure! but hopefully my coins miined go someplace I can use them. I am using my suprnova account and wallet addie so one can hope.
The struggle is real, but for everyone else it sounds like its pretty good. Thanks for your work on this, I do like it and once i figure out how to use the miner control interface than maybe ill look at the other stuff!
Thank you
I recommend MultiPoolMiner. Enter your username and it will start benchmarking then mining. You are best waiting for the benchmarks to complete as it may popup with security warnings. It will then use the most profitable miners that work on your system.
Set the auto exchange coin on MiningPoolHub so that you get paid in just one single currency.
