For me if you have a good PC, a good solution is also to install Minergate on this machine to passively mine crypto in a very simple way.
The income is large better than a Faucet and no need for a system of "roll" or "validation" ...
Personally I generate without doing anything 3000 satachis a day with a little computer !
Do not hesitate to test this solution it's free : https://minergate.com/a/a3be0e374205b3fadd4a09f6

Bitminter mining pool shut down, so you have to find a different mining pool.

How do I run this on Ubuntu 20.04. I've literally been trying to figure out how to get it to find my CPU and GPU which are obviously installed but nothing shows up. I'm on Ubuntu 20.04.

You can't mine bitcoin with CPU or GPU anymore. If you want to mine bitcoin then you need to buy a modern bitcoin ASIC miner. Check out the bitcoin mining hardware section of bitcointalk: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=76.0

You can still mine some altcoins with GPU/CPU. If you want to try that, look in the altcoin mining section of bitcointalk: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=160.0

2020.10.09 [14:24] No OpenCL-compatible GPUs detected

To mine with your GPU you'll need OpenCL working. If you have an AMD or Nvidia graphics card then you probably just need to install a driver from AMD/Nvidia. Someone who knows Ubuntu 20.04 better can correct me. But I think the default driver is an open source driver which does not support OpenCL which mining needs.

When replying to this message try to remember that not everyone knows what you're talking about when you describe Linux Functions. I'm sick of all the gated jaded Linux mogul speak. Make your language simple, as if a child were reading it with explanations please, otherwise people will never understand you.

So just starting now today with the Bitminter client. I didn't read the whole forum here, because too much is outdated.

1. How can I setup the Bitminter Client that he starts up in the background when a computer starts and is still in the login screen (Windows 10).
2. Is Bitminter client detectable through the Network? Does it use alot of network ressource? I want to stay under the radar.

DrHaribo, is the list of BitMinter supported devices in the first post on the first page up to date? I currently just have an AntMiner U2 from years ago, but I'm wanting to get something beefier by today's standards without switching clients unless I have to.

I have some problem with this client. Is it still support for Win 10? I can install this client .

It is signed with an old certificate which has expired. You may need to reduce the security settings in Java and add https://bitminter.com to the security exception list (whitelist) in java control panel.

I am planning for buying radeao GPUs to start mining. I hope you know that rig will contains with the 6 graphics cards with the one raiser. Will it good mine bitcoin with the bitminter client. Currently not affordable for buying high cost ASIC miner bro. Need your suggestion!

You can't mine bitcoin with that. Maybe an altcoin.

To mine bitcoin you need a modern ASIC miner. Forget graphics cards or old USB-based ASICs.

Sorry, there are no plans to support the PAC2.

Android devices are completely useless for mining. But there is nothing blocking them from mining at Bitminter. They are just extremely slow. The minimum worker difficulty is very high for such a slow device. If you mine for one month you should see a tiny bit of accepted work.

I would advice against buying more USB miners. They are very slow and now obsolete, including the PAC2. Today 1000 GH/s is slow and 14000 GH/s is the fastest miner for sale. The older miners are also energy inefficient. So even if you had 500 USB sticks with 2 GH/s each, the electricity usage would be high. The price per GH/s to buy these old miners is also way too high.

I have same kind of query I hope. I am using bitmintercin my i7 laptop and once started the last updated software in my Windows PC. It is successfullu running and connected to pool too.
 I want to that how I will be able to get the payment since I cannot able to add the wallet address to the batch file. May I know possible way to do that?

As long as you are mining with your user_worker name as explained on the front page of bitminter.com you will get paid.

But when you mine bitcoin on a PC the earnings are so tiny that you never reach the minimum amount to cash out. Your earnings are trapped in the pool forever, so in essence you never earn anything at all. This is one of the reasons that noone mines bitcoin with a PC anymore.

You need to buy a modern ASIC miner. 1000 GH/s is slow today and 14000 GH/s is currently the fastest miner for sale.

I can not install 2PAC BM1384 USB Stick Miner to see it in BitMinter client, can someone help me please?

It's not supported. You will need to use a different miner software for 2PAC.

The Programm sounds amazing. I have a question can you mine with a MacBook Pro laptop?

It runs on Mac, but computers are too slow and inefficient to mine bitcoin today. You need to buy a modern ASIC miner. 1000 GH/s is now slow and 14000 GH/s (14 TH/s) is the fastest miner for sale right now.

What effect will this software have on the performance of my laptop?

It will make your laptop run slowly, get hot and drain the battery. But you won't earn any coins.

To mine bitcoin in 2017 you need to buy a modern ASIC miner. Your PC is slower than 1 GH/s. 1000 GH/s is slow. 14000 GH/s (14 TH/s) is the fastest miner for sale right now.

man right now minergate only good for cpu coins eth if you can't figure out the real eth miner on Linux it is also a good place to mine those same
coins with Gpu but Bitminter is good place place make good bitcoin with good pool op S7 is good miner if you can get one will roi in about 2 1/2 months with price Bitcoin rising but as doc has said s9 faster miner pay off about the same

You need a modern ASIC miner to mine bitcoin in 2017.

CPUs had to give up in 2011 when GPUs took over.
GPUs had to give up in 2013 when ASICs took over.
Early generation ASICs that used the USB-port of a PC are now also useless.

These days 1000 GH/s is very slow and 14000 GH/s is the fastest miner you can buy right now.

You can calculate it. The pool hashrate is always displayed at the top of the webpage.

More interesting than what you get per block is what you get over time. You can use a "bitcoin mining calculator" for that. Just google it, there are many of them.

Thanks DrHaribo for the answer!

And where do I find my percentage of the pool's total hashrate???

Duration at https://bitminter.com/blocks is the time it took to find the block; that is, the period between the time this block was found and the time the previous block was found.

If you want to know what percentage of the paid out coins will go to you, check your percentage of the pool's total hashrate. It won't be exactly that as hashrates vary over time, but it gives you a rough idea.

If you mine on a PC you need to get a modern ASIC miner. 1000 GH/s is a very slow miner. 13500 GH/s is the fastest miner available right now.
