Decred DCR Mining Desktop
Using WhatToMine you can check, how profitable it is to mine selected altcoins in comparison to ethereum or bitcoin. Decred Evolution. Proof-of-Stake mining from mobile device, desktop wallet or web wallet. Automatic PoS mining in the Stake Pool.
If you have a decent spec graphics card in your pc why not put it to use and mine some Ethereum while you are afk or asleep? It's easy to set up and once your miner is configured you just run the program when you want to mine and leave your pc to do its thing. A mid tier gaming pc with a recent GPU could easily generate you up to a dollar a day at today's price and potentially a lot more if you are prepared to hold onto your coins.
While mining Bitcoin used to be profitable with GPUs this is no longer the case as most mining operations are now carried out with massive mining farms with highly specific (and expensive!) hardware. Many alternative crypto-currencies (altcoins) still rely on GPU mining and are somewhat profitable to do so, including Ethereum. Make your hardware work for you!
Step 1) Register with a pool, I recommend suprnova. You will need to register using your email address, a password and a PIN number, don't forget your PIN as you will need it to withdraw coins you have mined. Step 2) Create your workers. Once registered with Suprnova, one the left menu bar go to My Account, then My Workers. Click 'add new worker' to create two new workers and name them 1 and 2. Leave the password space empty or just type 1 and click update workers. Passwords are not needed for workers, the pool does not even check for them so don't worry about that.
You now have 2 workers. You workers should be yourusename. Asic Bitcoin Cash BCH Mining Hardware on this page. 1 and yourusername.2.
One will be mining Ethereum and the other will be mining Decred. Step 3) Download your miner. This is your mining program, there are many to choose from and we will be using Claymore's miner which is stable and also allows us to mine two different coins at the same time, this is called merge mining. Get the most recent version here - You will need to unzip this to a folder. Some antivirus programs do not like mining software so you may need to temporarily disable yours while it downloads and unzips. (Don't worry, always go to github for clean software) Step 4) Config settings.
Now we need to create a.bat file with the settings of your pool so your miner knows what to connect to and what to do. This is easier than it sounds.
First just open the folder you unzipped containing Claymores miner open it and look for a file called start.bat, right click this and select edit. You will be brought to a text editor.
You're looking for this Paste the following code into this document and save it. (make sure it is saved as a.bat and not a.txt file. Ethdcrminer64.exe -epool eth.suprnova.cc:5005 -ewal WORKER.1 -epsw x -esm 3 -dpool dcr.suprnova.cc:3252 -dwal WORKER.2 -dpsw x -allpools 1 (Replace WORKER.1 and WORKER.2 with your username you registered with) If for some reason there is not a start.bat file in the folder you can create one by right clicking>new>text document.
Then save it with the filename start.bat with the same code above pasted in. Double click start.bat to start your miner.
You can also create a shortcut to the bat file to place on your desktop. You are now mining Ethereum and Decred. You may keep any coins you mine on the pool site but this is not advisable. It is recommended you set up wallets for both these coins to keep them safe. Make sure to keep a record of your passphrases and private keys as these are you backups just in case. That's it, run the miner when you are afk and you'll see coins falling into your wallets in no time. Any problems or questions feel free to leave a comment.
Happy mining. Very good disucssion. I fully understand what you're talking about. I strongly advice people to only buy in to cryptos that have a solid background: A solid team, product, advisors, preferably VC investors, etc. Sell all cryptos that don't have this solid background.
It's a waiste of money. I found this great website:.
Every single coin can be analysed here based on: the team, the product, advisors, community, the business and the business model and much more. Check for example: For a complete Decred Investment and research analysis.
It seems that there is a second company working on a Decred (DCR) ASIC miner, so it will not only be the recently announced apparently. There are two models announced for the moment from DCRasic – Materia 1 supposedly capable of offering 400 GHS (Blake-256) with 275 Watts of power and priced at $1099 and Materia1-TURBO to offer 3 THS (Blake-256) with 2.1 kW of power usage and a hefty price tag of $7500. Materia1 ASICs are still not available for order as their development is supposedly currently ongoing, but the pre-sale should start by the end of this month according to the available information. The delivery of the final product will most likely not be earlier than 6 months from the start of the sale, if the project is successfully funded and sometime in 2018 we might end up with multiple Decred (DCR) ASIC miner options. We’ve had some concerns after the recent announcement of the Obelisk and so we do here, so while are going to keep an eye on the project with interest we advice a lot of caution should you decide to invest in any of the two options at the moment. Both companies haven’t delivered any ASIC miners so far and their projects are apparently both still in development and the risk that they may not deliver is real.
For the moment both projects seem like high risk ones, but in the world of crypto often if the risk pays off it pays a lot. The main hasn’t been accepting new registrations for quite a while, but now more staking pools are expected to soon be available.
The first from the new wave of DCR staking pools is from Stakeminer that is already running on the mainnet with a few more still on the testnet that should soon also become available of the main Decred network. The Decred Stake Pool from Stakeminer is currently running up with a 7.5% fee, but it will probably get lower once more pools are available and DCR holders have more options for staking without having to run their wallet 24/7 locally.
So you can check out the new Decred staking pool that is taking new registrations now and stay tuned for more pools that should be coming online pretty soon. Update: There are now two more DCR staking pools online now, and both running with a 7% 5% fee. There is also yet another staking pool available now also with the lower 5% fee – and now there is yet another one online with 5% fee –.
