RE: How to Easily Mine With Your Computer and Get More Steem, A Guide for People Not Into Crypto Currencies

in #mining8 years ago

That's great for someone like me who would like to try mining but have no time to figure it out calmly enough. My current problem is that nicehash does not seem to run on anything else than windows. I browsed the website but haven't found anything. Do you have any other suggestion by any chance?

Minergate works fine with windows, linux and mac...

Just be careful you don't lose your password. Neither NiceHash nor MinerGate are known for great customer service.

I put Minergate on the Mac and 32 Bit Winblowz 7 HTPC I have in the living room. I have NiceHash on the Laptop. The MinerGate setups I went ETH mining and am doing BTC on the NiceHash. We'll see how it goes. Thanks for the guide and advice @cryptos and @williambanks . I add @cryptos to my witness list !

Hi how is the web mining on your computer going?

Thanks a lot! I will have a look (more by curiosity for the moment).

Unfortunately no other reasonable alternative that keeps things up to date and profitable enough when new coins or algorithms worth mining become available... the service works with miners for other OSes, but their own easy GUI miner is only available for Windows.

I guess I will have to invest more time to understand that... Maybe next year ;)

It is still relatively easy setting up a console miner to work with the NiceHash service, but you need to know a bi tmore on what hardware you have available in the computer to make it work and maximize your results. The NiceHash Miner just makes this part much more easier by autodetecting the hardware and choosing the best miners for what you have available...

I am in principle capable to setting it up myself, but I have for the moment unfortunately no time to dedicate to this task (which is why a "ready-to-work" out-of-option was appealing :)
