the easiest way to mine ethereum coin now ethereum is a cryptocurrency much
like Bitcoin and light coin however it's been in the news recently it's
still fairly easy to mine it and it's actually steady at about $200 per
ethereum coin, so to begin you need two things one you need an ethereum wallet and
two you need some way to mine it whether you're mining it in a pool or you're
just minning it solo and also you need a pretty decent video card it really does
matter what kind of card you have most people recommend using an ATI card for
mining but you can't have some mild success with a GeForce card as well for
starters we're going to go to jaxx io j XX io and you're going to click on the
get free and then you're going to select windows. Now I personally did the
download the 64-bit version and since I already have it and I don't want to mess
up my current wallet even though it doesn't have any coin in it I still have
workers linked to my wallet so once it is installed you can just drag it all to
a folder and then you run the exe. So right here this is the important thing
this is your wallet address you can actually just click this here to copy
that we're going to need that so hold on to that then we're going to go over to
nano pool dot org as you can see you have different cryptocurrencies that you
can mine but we're actually going to go to QuickStart ethereum and then we're
going to go to download claymore dual miner
save it now I'm actually glad this happened
so depending on your browser and may see it as a third-party software that's
unrecognizable so you do have to tell it to actually save it I was able to do it
in Firefox you can change that setting in your Google Chrome settings and
Internet Explorer etc but it is perfectly safe so it is okay to
completely download it open it and run it. So once you have it downloaded we do
need to extract it and just set up a folder for it I'm just going to put the
ECoin2
open it up, now a couple things so we have downloaded Jaxx you need to go you
need to make sure you have your wallet set up because there's many different
wallets you can set up, so you would just go here we're going to check each area
now you can do a ethereum classic as well lite coin there's a lot of different
wallets here that you can actually select from you can actually use dual
miner to mine multiples if you'd like but today we're just focusing on
ethereum so we have our ethereum wallet which we've copied, so now what
you want to do
is find start only eth dot bat I'm going to right-click and go to edit and it makes
it pretty simple so right here we're going to put our wallet address, your
worker that can be named whatever you want is more used for an identifier and
it also helps when they send you email so you can link to it so I'm just going
to say Thorns2 - and then your email make sure you use a valid email because
it will tell you when your minor is down and this is the email that you can use
to get contacted me if need be also so we're going to save that now I'm using a
Geforce 1050 TI it gets about 12 mega hash so let me run it and see if we
still get that
just waiting for it to connect here okay so it gives me my video card temperature
at 43 Celsius and the fan is going 30% of its speed
well that's thinking let me show you guys something else if your minor goes
down you'll get an email notification and a link from nano pool so what you
can do is you can click that and it will tell you how much you've earned so far
what was last reported how long it's been down etc and obviously you can see
your full history of your minor okay so it looks like it actually connected and
right now we're getting 11 which is fine I mean I'm just running it in my spare
time now as I always do I'm going to leave
all these links in the description below but what I wanted to show you was this
site because what I can do is I can take the amount that I've made so far copy
that go down here
so I made three dollars and 37 cents on this cryptocurrency
now keep in mind right now it says it's at 11 but I'm also running the webcam
I'm doing video capturing I'm surfing the web so if I turned all this stuff
off it usually gets about twelve and last but not least you need to check if
it's actually worth it because it may not be worth it on your machine or your
video card depending on your circumstance so to see if your machine
is worth even mining we're going to go to crypto compare.com
and I'll leave the link to this specifically in the description below
you put how much hashing power your video card is generating and you have to
make a rough guesstimate of your wattage usage and the cost of your electricity
now if you're running this if you're in college and you're running this at
school or you're running one at work obviously put zeros on there and you can
see that as far as every month you can make about 22 bucks every year you make
about close to 300 etc obviously if you have multiple cards you're going to get
a higher hash rate also depending what ATI cards you have or what NVIDIA GeForce
cards you have can also be determined so this is just something to try out see
what your video card can do see if it's worth it if you want to make some extra
cash a lot of people still make a lot of money by just buying the coin outright
and then waiting till the price raises and then selling it like stocks
essentially now this is another thing I forgot to mention minimum payout is
point two so obviously I'm not there yet so I haven't gotten a payout yet
hope somebody found this helpful if you have any questions comments or concerns
please feel free to post them below back in the day I did more lite coin than
this but I'm just now getting back into this and seeing how it rolls so at great
