Cryptocurrency Mining

Prerequisites

Assume you have already set up a machine

(i.e. assemble one with GPU and installed driver (e.g. cuda for Nvidia GPU with specific version with your miner))

You will need additional setup for mining Ethereum on GTX 1080/ti & Titan XP

General Procedure

1. Get a wallet
2. Choose a mining pool (or you want solo mining) for your target currency (e.g. Bitcoin or Ethereum)
3. Choose a miner
4. Setup miner with your wallet information & mining pool

There is potential that Windows thinks the miner is a virus. This is how to configure:

1. Search "Virus & threat protection"
2. Goto "Virus & threat protection settings" and click "Manage settings"
3. Goto "Exclusions" and click "Add or remove exclusions"
4. Add this folder (i.e. the repository directory)

Note

• Usually, a mining pool will have its payout policy and normally you will have to mine over a threshold to be paid.
• But since a transaction might need some tax or fee or whatever, so don't take out too often can reduce this cost.
