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. Based off profitability or difficulty, you can choose your auto switching profile to best suit your needs.


Auto-Switching


Without A Subscription

My experience, and other opinions I've seen is that the subscription is the way to go as far as profitability is concerned (as long as you have enough mining power to make it worth your while). However, one issue is if you are trying to mine a certain coin and it gets taken down from their "live coins", you could just end up having your miners burning up electricity.


Coin Assigning


Coin Information

One large benefit is it's information on any coin you want to select. You can read up about it and see it's statistics before assigning it to your workers. It also allows a quick simple view of previous blocks and your currently assigned workers.

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. You're going to need your miner, a PSU (power supply unit, like the one in your PC) and an Ethernet cord. 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...

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...
