Topic: Help on general mining ? (Read 289 times)
Thanks guys for the info so no luck for me tnq.
Hi i have a low end pc with integrated graphics intel i5 2400 i was wondering is is somehow thgrouh mining some coin to be able to earn/mine some cash im not talking cents a month
Technically you doing donor instead getting cents per month. For learning and hobbies is worth doing. For money is not viable
except you had flux capacitor and back in time to early bitcoin mining. Any other alternatives : i would say yes but only luck trying to mine cpu shitcoin in early stages. Last time this happen was pascalcoin.
on it for a very long time until the PC breaks down. And economically, you should not start mining on such a computer. And modern powerful PCs now also have a long payback period in mining

Its always a good thing when you try to make some experiments by yourself , specialy when you have your one miners.Not every card is the same others and the setup sometimes is different , even when you have the same Hardware as in some youtube videos it can be different.
I agree that maybe the basic settings can be helpful , but optimize your one miners with testing is a learning process that everybody should going trough.
A lot of what I saw could not work for a long time. Or if we talk about downvolting, then I'd rather burn the extra 50-100 kilowatts on the mining farm, but it will work stably for the whole month. With experience, you understand that a stable operation of a mining farm pays off faster than experimenting with settings, which cause more problems.

Unfortunately now there is no time for experiments or experiments.
Thats not true there is always time , specialy for new users for experiments so that they get themself some experience that is needed for mining and setting up things.If everybody thinks the same way about that you doing then miners will be getting stuck or have no idea how to do.
If you want to mine, then you need to have an advantage over other miners in the ability to find new coins,
Really ? Sounds like you have all knowen before you started mining .Dont know when you started , but i started in the end of 2011 and in 2012 around that was exactly the time you describe now.
Today its more community friendly as it was back in the days when i started , so why not help new users that have questions.
I don’t understand what kind of experiments we can talk about now, when there is a lot of information about each video card, overclocking options and profit on all algorithms. Now it's a business. If a beginner has expensive electricity, then even if he is the most experienced miner, he will not be able to earn on mining.

On general mining nowadays anyone can buy a ready made GPU rig for the price of a single card (price of 2021 I am talking about when the price were the highest) and someone can have it setup for him to use a miner like Nicehash for example and be told to just open an account there use 2FA and just hit the start mining button to mine after setting up his mining address,I know these were very popular back in the days 2020-2021-2022 when many people at eBay and not only there also in my local market place people were selling such rigs at a very expensive price and their main benefit in the description of their ad was "just put it in and let the money flow,you just change the mining address".
Now such rigs cost extremely cheap and anyone who want to try out can do so,no special knowledge needed,just the basics with computer staff.

Such a computer is difficult to sell. New motherboards are no longer sold for such a socket, and this PC is still not bad for browsing the Internet. I have also used weaker PCs for internet. It is possible to invest $50-60 in cryptocurrency, but he needs another computer to study coins.
Thats right that this computer maybe will be hard to sell , but for some stakeable coins it would be doing the job.I agree to invest some money for some Coins and hold them would be the easiest way.
The simplest entry to mining would be to buy a GPU for that PC.
That also would be an idea , but it depends on how much mining experience and doing the setup for it he has.Some new PSU for it and he can start , learning by doing and fails gets him the needed experience.
We all was going trough that at some point.

You can mine monero with 2400 cpu but it will give you 3-5cents per day dont know your electricity cost so it might be not profitable at all.
That's heroic mining dont know your electricity cost so it might be not profitable at all. $11 a year if the PC doesn't break. You still have to change the thermal paste, so $11 will not be there at the end of the year.Even if this is a question of a student who lives in a university dormitory and does not pay for electricity, then it is better for him to find another way to earn money.

Coincidentally I have a i5-2400 PC, the first device I ever mined with. I still use it as a rig for 4 GPUs. The only other upgrade
is the PSU. It's not worth replacing if it died, I'd scavenge the GPUs and PSU and use them elsewhere.

Hi i have a low end pc with integrated graphics intel i5 2400 i was wondering is is somehow thgrouh mining some coin to be able to earn/mine some cash im not talking cents a month
As Bitcoin_Arena , JayDDee and FP91G already have written with that pc it makes no sense to mine if you looking for profit.The best thing you maybe can do with PC ist setup an Node on it or buy you some Coin you can stake on there.
But the best solution if you dont need that PC anymore is as Bitcoin_Arena said , sell it and buy some Coin.
I usually recommend people mine with what they have to get a feel for mining before spending big money on mining equipment.
But that's about learming, not making quick profit. But a i5-2400 is no longer any use for learning because most pools set minimum
difficulty too high to find shares regularly. The iGPU was never of any use for mining.
The simplest entry to mining would be to buy a GPU for that PC.
For mining training, it is better to buy a small mining farm with 4-5 video cards, but if you have expensive electricity, above 10 cents, then this hobby will be unprofitable. But will allow you to start mining faster in the new season, which may or may not come.

On such an old processor, there is now nothing to mine even on free electricity.Processors and video cards in such a market give little profit and have a long payback period, and you should not start mining on a processor that is more than 12 years old.
