My Bitcoin Mining Experience

I recently reformatted my computer and decided to try out Ubuntu as my OS. I'm pretty new with a lot of Ubuntu but I decided to figure out how to mine using the .sh files as opposed to the .bat files used on windows OS's. To help other miners through this process, i'm hosting some files in my DB account that you can use as a boiler plate. Mining software files are here . Download and extract. Alter these .sh files with your credentials. Run scripts by goingto their directory and typing ./mine.sh and ./minecpu.sh in separate terminals And there you have it, It's that easy! You'll be mining in seconds.

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 profita...

Darkcoins are a new currency that focus primarily on anonymity, meaning that each miner isn't trackable. Here I'm going to go through how to start mining darkcoins with just your home computer. Get your Wallet download the  darkcoin wallet here . One the wallet is downloaded, run it. The wallet will have to "Catch up" because it needs to be up to date with all the transactions and work done so far. You should have something like this, while we wait for it to catch up, let's get our pool ready to go! Get Your Pool Make an account here  (if you don't already have one). Keep this page open because we're going to need to use pool and worker information from them later. Get Mining For both CPU and GPU:  minning software Now that we're all set up on the back-end, let's get our computer ready to mine. Install one or both downloads for mining (depending if you want to do GPU or CPU or both). Make sure if you're d...
