from personal experience withdrawing 20$ a week ago just to check how it worked, the Paypal fee seems to be linear because they charged me 0.97$ (0.97x7.5=7.27, your fee), and the Winminer fee is 3%, also linear. I paid 0.6$ when I withdrawed 20$ and you paid 4.50 (150x3%=4.50).

@TeamWinMiner

I know you guys are swamped. Trying not to pester support, but really would like some clarification on the payout fees.

I withdrew $150 the other day. PayPal fees were 7.27, and your fees were 4.50.

I'm not complaining about the fees, but I want to understand them. I'm assuming the PayPal fee a percentage, but is it the same percentage regardless of the amount transferred? Same question about your fees. Is it a flat 4.50 no matter how much is transferred, or is a percentage as well?

Please explain, or point me to where this is posted.

Thank you!

Yes, it is allowed. I run it on two pc's under the same account.

Hi guys!
I am a newbie with a question. Could you please tell me if I could use more than 1 pc to login in my WinMiner account at the same time?
Say I have 5 pcs and I want to use them all to mine in just one account. Can I do that without getting banned?
Appreciating the answer!

I used Winminer for the first time a few months ago, and it was my first time ever mining from a PC and I am grateful that  this user friendly software allowed me to mine in few minutes from downloading the software. Also it offers really nice payment options.
It basically made me discover that is really possible to get paid for the use of my PC.

Then after a week I upgraded to 2 Radeon Vega and from there I began exploring the best use for them and stop using Winminer and began pool mining and later on NiceHash.
To make a long story short, now I have a new hobby with a few rigs with Vegas and X580 and I exclusively mine on pools with dedicated software and Nicehash, but only when their Criptonight "coin" is very high. However Also on Nicehash I mine with my software (Cast miner) to their pool. I do not use their software, bacause like Winminer, their settings need to be generic for working on almost any PC that they are downloaded to, therefore they cannot be tailored for your specific GPU and you loose quite a bit of performance.

Today I tested again Winminer for a couple of hours on one rig with 6 vegas and although I was getting the right hashing for Ethereum of 43Mhs per card, the projected payout was less than 5 usd per card, instead of 6.5 usd that I would have got mining on a Ethereum Pool at the same exact time. Same for Pirl.
I had noticed the same mining Monero 2 months back, which was the reason for stop using Winminer.
For Ethereum, I use the exact same software (Claymore 10.0) which is also what Winminer uses under the hood. Today the payout should have been very similar.
Beside, today I tried to mine the Cryptonight algo with Electroneum or Sumo , but winminer could not even connect to a pool at that moment that I have tested.
Electroneum and Sumo are the most profitable coins at the moment of writing, yet winminer could not even get them to work.

Bottom line, if you are new to mining and you have just a PC with one GPU or a couple of old GPUs and want to make a few bucks, Winminer is a good option, especially for the easy set up and check out they allow you to have.
Yet if you have anything better than 2 GPU, is worth taking some time of learning how to mine directly to a large mining pool.

On a different note.... Nicehash may take some of your money under the table as well, because you never get your full worth of GPU Hashing power either, it is at least a 5% less on top of their fee. I am quite certain of that and that must be the reason why they do not display anywhere on your account page, the average hashing power per hours or 3, 6 hours. They display only your projected payout in BTC or USD. They display real time calculated hashing power once in a while, but since it fluctuate a lot and it is not charted and you can not make any estimate out of it.

Hi ...

I'am new on this forum but i read a lot of the thins post here ...

So my problem:

I need to make this settings to make work my RX 560 with 2gb ram:

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

Without this settings winminer won't start to mine.

I found file start.bat in c:\User\xxx\AppData\Local\Winminer\Miners\Claymore....\
then i tried to remove word REM and save file after that restart winminer

Doesn't work becouse winminer replace start.bat with another.

Please help me how to make this settings

Thank you

To do that, rather than restricting which coins you mine, you can restrict which miners you use. If you only want to mine cryptonight, just untick all the other miners in the "miners" tab.

ok its not good to mine with a laptop but do you think a corei5 CPU is enough for mining using win miner ?
