Mining X11 and Scrypt coins

Today I realized for those miners that still don't feel comfortable, or just want to utilize their own computer hardware while they're not using it, there is a good solution.

Everyone knows that you can mine X11 coins and Scrypt algorithm coins with your CPU and or GPU. However, using your CPU to mine X11 coins is far more efficient then trying to get it to mine Scrypt coins, so my advice is to split your computers hardware. As covered in a previous post (here) I cover how to mine Darkcoins with both GPU and CPU. Try to mine Darkcoins with your CPU (6+ cores preferably)and use your GPU to mine Dogecoins (or whatever Scrypt based coin you prefer). Using these two different algorithms, you can utilize your hardware in a more profitable way (in my opinion), especially since you can now play two markets if you enjoy making profits from coin exchanges.

As you can see, this way you can use your CPU in a much more efficient way and still have your GPU mining another profitable coin with a different algorithm to help preserve the longevity of your mining. Because what if your favourite Scrypt coin price takes a dive, at least you have a backup!

BTC-Flow

Today I'll be giving a bit of a look into BTC-Flow . It's a game based bitcoin faucet that has me pretty into it. No more of the jumping from site to site clicking your way through pop ups and other fun activities. The concept of the game is that you run a company. At first, your company mines bitcoin and has a earning rate of 0.0000015 BTC/Min and your max capacity is 0.000012 BTC. Your part in running this company is getting the bitcoin from your company either before or after your max capacity is hit. You then need to click once your bitcoin capacity is reached to put that balance into your main bank. From here you basically repeat this as much as you'd like. If you really enjoy this, you can "level" your business with bitcoin to increase capacity and earning/min at any point. If you like faucets, you need to check this out . BTC-Flow.com

Setting up a self maintaining miner (Windows GPU CPU miner)

Problem I run a 125MH/s ETH GPU mining rig but I was having issues where it would restart intermittently and when it would come back online it would obviously stop mining and i would lose mining time because of it. Solution Automatic restart Run your miner automatically on startup This is actually a very simple way to keep your miner in check so you don't encounter much or any down time. As an added bonus, it's very simple to set up. Automatic restart Search for "task scheduler" in your windows search bar and open it. Now select "Create Task..." from the right side panel. Give your task a name and check the "run with highest privileges" checkbox Go to the "Triggers" tab and click the "New..." button. Here you should select "Daily" and select a date and time you would like this task to be run. Once you're done with your selection, click "OK" Go to the "Ac...

Mining ZCash(ZEC) on windows

I spent some time trying out a few different pieces of software to try to figure out one that works best for me. I have 2 good options for mining ZCash, both for the coin and using NiceHash to auto convert it to BTC for you. Option 1 Download the NiceHash Miner Run the miner (install steps) Put in your btc address and your worker name Run the benchmark (depending on your number of devices this can take some time, however, it's worth it). Once the benchmark has completed, simply click "Start" This option will be mining with NiceHash, however, it auto converts coins into btc. This may not be what you're looking for, so see option 2. Option 2 Download the latest release of nheqminer Extract Create a run.bat file Here's a couple examples for your run.bat file Examples AMD 1 GPU nheqminer_zcash.exe -l usa -u YOUR-ZCASH-ADDRESS-HERE -t 6 -od 0 NVIDIA 1 GPU nheqminer_zcash.exe -l usa -u YOUR-ZCASH-ADDRESS-HERE -t 6 -cd 0 ...
