GAW Fury Miner

I purchased a set of 5 Gaw Fury Miners a week or so ago and they came in today. These miners are scrypt-based and run in and around 1.3MH/S each. Also, to set them up was so much more simple than i expected.



The first thing that happened when I got into cryptocoin mining is i realized that i knew nothing. So any chance you get to learn or read something out there that you don't know entirely about, do it. But these neat little boxes were a breeze to setup and get running.

What you need

Hardware wise, you need to have a GAW Fury, 1 12V 5A power supply, and a USB cable. Now, simple enough, you plug in your fan line, then pop in your power supply cord into your unit and finally connect your USB from your Fury to your controller (PC or what have you).




All done? Great! Now comes the fun bit: 


  1. Once plugged in you need to download a driver called CP210x USB to UART Bridge VCP Driver.
  2. Select the proper version for your OS and install it.
  3. Once installed, restart your computer. I'll wait.
  4. Install MultiMiner. (Great piece of software that takes a lot of the guess work with new miners)
  5. Once everything is installed and you add your coin/settings into Multiminer right click on the application's window and click "Scan Hardware"
  6. That should be the final step and if you have your driver installed properly, you should be mining away!

Congratulations!

You're all set, but if something went wrong during the process follow these trouble-shooting steps

Trouble-shooting

  1. Find those drivers you installed the first time, and re-install them (just to be safe).
  2. Restart computer.
  3. Now open your MultiMiner and make sure your pool is configured with the right information and it saves.
  4. Make sure your miner (if it shows up) is set on the pool you created (If you can't see your miner at this point "Scan Hardware" again).
  5. If your miners are acting odd, or you just want to make sure everything is configured properly, right click in MultiMiner and click "Settings"(Also found in the top right).
  6. Click "Advanced miner settings"
  7. Click the drop-down where it says "SHA256" and select "Scrypt"
  8. Add "--set zeus:clock=328 --failover-only --no-submit-stale" to the box next to the drop-down and hit OK.
  9. Run MultiMiner

Now everything should be functioning as it should, if it's not feel free to reach out to me through email (emersongstewart@gmail.com) and maybe I can help try to figure out your problem with you.

Antminer S3 Setup Guide & Review

Overview This is for the Antminer S3 , mine are batch 11. So to get started, the units are very nicely made from my experience, and actually not too bad to get started with.

S3+ Specifications: Hash Rate: 453 GH/s±5% with great OC potential   Power Consumption: 355 Watt at the wall    Power Efficiency: 0.78J/GH on wall   Power Supply: 12V DC Size:  331 mm x 137 mm x 160 mm  Fans: Two 14038 fans mounted on both front and back ends   Operating Temperature: 0 °C to 35 °C   Complied with: FCC / CE Network Connection: Ethernet   Power consumption: This figure depends on the PSU efficiency, ambient temperature and the accuracy of the power meters. Step One: Network Let's prepare your network. You need to have your routers IP address to look something like 192.168.1.X. The x can be reall...

PoolWarz SHA-256 Auto-switching

What Is Pool Warz? PoolWarz is a pool (with a collection of different mine able coins) that has a little bit of a different approach to the set up of your miners. Creators of this site also bring you CoinWarz , and RigWarz , now have their own pool, they're not linked to one another however. Within PoolWarz , when you create a worker, you only point your hardware at one URL, as opposed to multiple different URLs for separate coins. At anytime you can alter what coin this worker is mining by changing where it's pointer (or "assigned" to ) on your dashboard in your PoolWarz account. Subscription There is an option to pay a monthly subscription fee to PoolWarz for a 0% fee (as opposed to their standard 2% fee) and also getting the ability for "auto-switching". If you've been mining for a while, you'll know the concept of "auto-switching" because it's the same as a multipool basically, except you keep all the coins you mine. ...

MinerGate

MinerGate is very interesting Mining pool with it's own mining software AND web mining (something that I've personally never seen). It is primarily used for mining cryptonote coins. If you have a slower CPU/GPU machine, it might be something you can get a reasonable yield out of. With much lower global hash rates, you have less competition for shares. Some cryptonotes have to be exchanged into a different coin before bitcoin but some like BCN can be exchanged straight into BTC (if that's what you're looking to do). Start Mining Simply download their GUI miner, and you can start at least mining with your CPU almost instantly. The second route is to navigate to their home page and scroll down past their GUI and download their open sourced mining software (if you dont like using these, just stick with the GUI). Fairly easy to set up, they're basically plug and play. Here's a simple set up for the  Claymore CryptoNote GPU : setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT...
