btw, I wonder, how you got a 4 idled 1080 GPU's without mining, are you into graphics designs or something?



Maybe they fell off te truck?



J/K Tongue There are many people with a lot of disposable income to burn on whatever they want, such as 4 1080's...

Hello everyone, I'm a newcomer, but I really want to learn how to mine. How can I start my study? Can I recommend some elementary teaching? I'm currently idle 4 video cards at 1080, I don't know if it's useful, I hope Enthusiastic people can help me.


Google "what to mine" and you can find many online calculators that will tell you exactly what your cards can mine, what the current profit based on the hasrate and electric bill. Prices go up and down so it is not easy to find something to mine longterm. I mine ETH but the price is dropping and maybe I will switch to someting else.

A good point. Are these 1080 GPUs plugged separately in four separate computers, or you have them all together in one? I don't even know if the latter situation is possible given the power they draw.

With hashrates constantly going up, while coin prices constantly going down, it is absolutely unwise to start anything right now.

Before you start mining Bitcoin, it will be helpful if you understand what is meant by mining Bitcoin itself.
Mining Bitcoin is legal and done by running a double round SHA256 hash verification process to validate Bitcoin transactions,To start mining bitcoin, you need to provide hardware to mine bitcoin. In the early days of bitcoin, we can still mine with a computer CPU, or a high speed video processor card. Now it's not possible anymore.

Welcome to the club. Pretty late to the game already, but if you already have video cards then might as well make the most of it with the limited amount of time you still have.

Your question is actually extremely vague and there numerous guides and tutorials you could start with. You can start your online research at https://mining.help and then come back here when you've read up a bit and have some specific questions we can answer.
