Best Software for PC Crypto Mining - Awesome Miner - Tutorial

in #tutorial7 years ago

Hi guys,

Recently I've tested several crypto mining apps, including NiceHash, BetterHash and Awesome Miner. From those three, I found the last one most profitable and still easy to setup. Below you will find step-by-step tutorial how to run Awesome Miner and mine crypto currencies on your own PC.

Key Points:

  • Awesome Miner can automatically mine the most profitable coin
  • it's easy and quick to setup
  • you can choose in which coin you want to receive payouts

1. First you need to make an account on mining pool.

Go to https://miningpoolhub.com/index.php?page=register and create account.

2. Now we're gonna add a mining worker.

Login and go to HUB Workers here: https://miningpoolhub.com/?page=account&action=hubworkers
On the left panel name the worker "worker" (or anything else), for password type x and click Add New Worker.

3. Time to setup Auto-Exchange feature.

Go to Auto Exchange panel here: https://miningpoolhub.com/?page=account&action=autoexchange
On the left panel pick the crypto currency you want to receive the payouts in. I recommend LiteCoin.
Click Set Autoexchange Coin below.
Make sure that on the right panel AutoExchange is ACTIVE for all coins.

4. Install Awesome Miner.

Go to http://www.awesomeminer.com/download.aspx and download the Installer.
(direct link: http://www.awesomeminer.com/download/setup/AwesomeMiner.msi)

5. Start Awesome Miner and add new Miner.

If the New Miner window doesn't appear automatically, click "New Miner" on the top left corner.

Name: as you wish
Miner Host: Local
Profit Switching Profile: nVidia or AMD - depening what GPU you have.

Click Next.
Click Finish.

7. Point the Miner to your Miningpoolhub.com Worker.

Go to Options -> Profit Switching
Check Enable Profit Switching.
Check Mining Pool Hub.
Enter worker name: it's your miningpoolhub login.worker name. So for me it's cfminer.worker

Click OK to close the window.

7. Start Mining.

Click Start from the top bar.
After a minute or so you should see something like this:

There should be a console window that makes you look like a true hacker and the Awesome Miner window should report some $ under Total Per Day payout.

Remember that all coins will be automatically exchanged for the crypto you setup earlier on miningpoolhub (in this example - LiteCoin). When you mine enough, you can cashout on the mining balance website:

how do you think or your prediction about bitcoin price in 2018 whether it will be increasing or going down.
I just want to survey some people's opinions

No idea, it's like 50/50. We're either on brink of a new crypto era or we're gonna see collapse and stagnation for a year or two. Well, more like 60/40 ;)

Bitcoin riding on the lightning network, it has to be user friendly to succeed

Thanks for the tips!
