hey everyone and welcome back to another mining chamber video
in today's video we are going to go over team red miners step by step and then i'll
give you guys my opinion on it as well as the pricing and everything you need to know about
using team red miner in general so now let's go ahead and get into it right after the intro
team red miner is one of the most popular choices for amd gpus now as you can tell by the name team
red miner is made specifically for amd gpus so you can't use it for nvidia cards and if you have
nvidia card you can use a mix of two different software so you can run team red miner and trx
miner at the same time now at the time that i'm filming this video team red miner is at version
.8.3 and you can use this guide for any version that they release just make sure you always
download the latest version and any instructions that i go over here in this video you will be
able to use them in different operating systems as you can see it has built-in support for all
these different operating systems and you can just follow the same command line arguments the
same way in those different os's so now let's go ahead and talk about the fee structure and how
much team redminer costs to run as well as all the cryptocurrencies that they support so as you can
see here there's a lot of different algorithms that this miner supports and each one has their
own different percentage so if you look at the top you have first your ether on polaris gpus so
these are your rx 400 or 500 series and the fees for that is only 0.75 percent and that is for the
ethash algorithm so ethereum and any other coin that's running on the a dash algorithm and for
all the other gpus it's only one percent so it's also not so bad comparing to phoenix minor which
is only point seventy percent it's still not bad at all but it does have some benefits to it which
i will be talking about later on and if you're planning on mining ravencoin which is under that
kapow algorithm then that will be two percent in fees which is still not so bad and then you have
all these other algorithms if you do find it here then you know you can mine it and you can find the
fee next to it but generally for now you only want to focus on these top two because ethereum
is the most profitable to mine and then once that goes proof of stake then you can go ahead and take
a look at the other options now i do have a video on ethereum 2.0 coming out very soon so make sure
to subscribe so you don't miss that out as for the gpus that this miner supports it supports
almost all the amd's so whenever you see a new amd card comes out and it will show if it supports it
or not it might not be up to date with the 6000 series cards and in that case you can just run
the miner test it out and if it doesn't work you can always get in touch with them on their discord
so that is a brief overview on team red miner i will give you guys my conclusion on it later on
whether you should be using it or not so before we get there i want to show you guys how to get a
quick start on team red miner to get started right away and then we're also going to take a deep dive
into the commands and show you guys the different commands and what you can use to help you mine
better but before we get into that let's go ahead and have a quick word from this video's sponsor
this video is sponsored by crypto.com crypto.com is an all-around platform for trading staking and
storing your cryptocurrency they also have visa cards which you can get by buying cro tokens and
holding it for some time these cards are accepted anywhere that accepts visa and they also come with
benefits based on which tier you get but one of the best ways that i found as a miner to
use crypto.com is by utilizing their staking platform you can use their staking platform
to put your mining profits in there and then earn additional rewards on your mining profits
and it's super easy to get started with it simply mine to your crypto.com wallet and then from there
you can stake as much as you want and earn interest they have difference taking options
and you can stick with a flexible plan which means you can get your money out anytime or you can do
it contract based which earns you more percentage so if you want to learn more and you want to see
which options they have for staking please feel free to use the link in the descriptions below and
download their app and then from there explore the options that you have now let's go ahead and get
right back into the video now the first step for every mining software is to download it and if you
don't find your way around to the download section all you have to do is just click on the releases
now generally when you look up team redminer download you will be in the releases section
anyways so just click on that and then you will be seeing something like this so now there's a
couple of things that you want to do when you're downloading a mining software just for your own
security and that is to verify the checksums now instead of having to go over through every video
and show you guys how to verify the checksums i decided to put it in the article for mining
with windows 10 on miningchamber.com so all you need to do is just come to this article which
will be linked in the descriptions below and then go to the mining software section and then here
you will find a write-up on mining software as well as the different types of mining software
so you have the command line interface as well as the graphical interface miners so everything will
be covered here in general but mainly what you want is verifying the checksums if you scroll a
little bit lower you will find here the verifying check sums section and then in there you just
want to go ahead and follow the instructions now frankly the instructions are made for team red
miner so it will be easier to follow but even if you're using a different mining software it will
be all the same idea so just go ahead and follow that whenever you download the miner and then you
also want to do exclusions for your antivirus so this is not required unless you're having troubles
with downloading your mining software but if you want to make an excluded folder like i did on my
desktop folder then you can go ahead and do that and then exclude that folder from your antivirus
so this is just a way to avoid from having your antivirus deleting your miners folder and the
reason that you want to verify your checksums is to make sure that you have the authentic version
of a team red miner or whatever mining software you're using so i highly recommend going through
these steps if you're downloading the mining software to make sure that you're on the safer
side so now back to team red miner i will go ahead and download the zip folder from here and
then i'll be saving it in my miners folder on the desktop that's excluded from my antivirus
so now at this step is where you want to go ahead and verify your checksums and if you want to do
that like i mentioned just go on the link in the descriptions below so now let's go ahead
and get into the quick start for team red miner and then talk about all the different files that
are in here so to get started with team red miners super quickly all you have to do is just find the
batch file that you want to use so for example if you're mining ethereum you want to go ahead and
use start eth and if you're mining ethereum with four gigabyte cards you can use start eats with
four gigabytes and then ravencoin you can just use kapow so it's all the same concept and then
mtp is for firo and all these different coins that you can just find them all here and if you want to
dual mine ethereum and zell you can use this file so you just get the idea so whichever file you
pick for example here i want to use start ethereum and just mine ethereum with my 6800 i would just
go ahead right click on it and then do edit so after you do edit you will see this pops up
just go ahead and click on more info and then run anyways this is just because the team redminer is
not verified publisher for windows so they always will give you these warnings but it's completely
fine to just skip them so now once you open the file you will see something like this so up here
you have your environmental variables and then down here you'll have additional information that
you want to use for your miner so all this stuff right here is just commented out so this will not
be read by the software at all even if you delete all this you'll be completely fine and then you're
just left off with this string right here so here in this string you see that there's a pool address
as well as a wallet address and all you have to do is just change those two and then run it so for
your wallet address you can use your own wallet and if you don't know which wallet you want to use
you can go back to miningchamber.com and then click on platforms right here and after you go to
platforms you will find multiple different options for wallets so there is two wallets here you can
just download any of them and then use the address that you want to mine to so for example since
we're mining ethereum then you will be using your ethereum wallet address so now back to the batch
file you just want to go ahead and copy paste your address here and after you change that address you
want to change the name of the worker as well or you can keep it the same way so this is just
something for you to track your mining rigs so in this case i'm mining on my computer so i would say
my pc or you can name it whatever you want like i mentioned so this is not important at all and
then you have your pool address so for your pool address you want to go ahead and select the right
pool now for selecting a mining pool you don't want to over complicate it just pick any pool and
go with it honestly the difference between all the pools is very small just make sure that you select
the server that's closest to you so i have a full video on pools if you want to learn more about the
specifics but for now for the quick setup all you have to do is just change the region based
on your region so since i'm in north america all i have to do is just change the eu to us1
and then for the port you can leave it the way it is and run it if you have any issues with
that just add one before the fours and then you'll be fine so now i can go ahead and save this file
go back to the folder and then just run this file and now congratulations you started mining
so you can see here sometimes it will give you a warning it says crossfire auto link is active and
then in that case you just want to add this command so go ahead and close the miner and
then open up the file again and then just edit that file and add the command at the end after
x so just after x say dash dash enable and then compute and then you can just save the file again
and then run the file again and then the first time you run it after adding enable compute
it might close right away on you and that's fine just go ahead and run it again and it will be good
to go so now your computer slash mining rig is mining to that address on that mining pool
and whenever you want to stop mining simply just close out the terminal so now that is it for the
teamred miner quickstart now we can go ahead and talk about the specifics and all the commands that
you want to know when you're using teamred miner so the first thing that i like to do when it comes
to a folder like this i don't like it when it's messy like that so i would just go ahead and click
on the type right here and then i would just take all the text documents and create a new folder
and then just put them in there so i will name the folder docs and then i will take all the text
documents in here and then move them to that docs folder so now it's a little bit cleaner here and
you only have is just your batch files which you need for mining and i wouldn't move any of these
files here unless you want to create shortcuts which is completely fine but just don't move them
because they do rely on the position of the folder itself because they are all calling back to the
team redminer application so now that we have all the docs in our folder let's go and go through the
different documentations and then just talk about all these txt documents so you know what they're
for so there's a lot of different functionality here and we're not going to go through all of
it because it will take very long time but as you can see if you just open up one of the documents
for example here o2 lycos tuning you open that up you'll see here that it's just a quick pointers on
how to tune for the algorithm that's used by ergo now if you just read through it you'll see here
there's polaris tuning and it'll tell you what you need to do for polaris cards it's a really nice
documentation that gives you a really good idea of what you need to do for different algorithms
and then if you go down to dual cell mining you will see here it will give you some different
information for zell mining which is also very useful and here that's how you put in your
addresses and everything like that now other than these of course you can also use the example batch
files here so it's a lot easier for you so for example if you're trying to use a four gigabyte
card you just edit that and then from there you'll be able to see what different commands that they
used so here you can see for four gigabyte cards they use each allocation epoch and then they also
use it 4g max allocation as well as one right here for restart gpus that is just mainly for
doing the 4 gigabyte cards so this is probably the best way you want to use this as a guide is by
going through these files and using the specific commands for them now if we go back to the docs we
can also see eth tuning guide which is nice for overclocking your gpus for ethereum mining you
can also go to miningchamber.com for overclocking and then go to gpu mining and then gpu overview so
after you go here you'll find different gpus with their overclock settings just click on it and then
you'll find the specific overclock settings for your card so now back to the documentations again
you also have things such as map your gpus which helps you map whichever gpu is the one that's
showing up in the terminal and then finally the most important thing you have is the usage so the
usage is what contains all the different commands that team red miner has so here you find dash dash
algo or dash a which all stands for the same thing so if you see two different ones like that it's
either you could do algo or dash a and they're both going to serve the same function so there's
a lot of different commands in here but we're only going to go through the ones that you want
to know so won't take as long because the options that you want to know are very minimal so what you
need to know first is the algorithm one of course and that's when you want to change the crypto that
you're mining so here for example i'll go ahead and open up two different files so you have the
kapow one and then you also have the ethereum one so if you check the kapow and ethereum you'll see
here that they both have two different things that are running for the different algorithms so you
have dash a kapow and then here you have dash a e so that will be how you specifically pick whatever
algorithm you want to mine and then place in the pool address and wallet address made for that
algorithm and coin that you're trying to mine so for example if you're trying to mine another
coin that's in the e dash algorithm then all you have to do is just change your address for that
coin and then find a pool that supports that coin that you're trying to mine and then you're good to
go so that's for the algorithm command now other than the algorithm command there's also the pools
config option which starts with dash o now for this one is for your pool address so you do dash o
and then you put the pool address so it can either be straight in plus tcp or straighten plus ssl
which will be one for ssl links and one for tcp links you can also add more than one pool by just
doing dash o again and then putting a dash u and a dash p now dash u and dash p means username and
password so generally the password is always x for all the pools so you can see here dash px so you
can always keep that as default x unless you make an account with the pool then you want to go ahead
and put your password and as for your username right here that will always be your wallet address
so it says dash you and then you put your wallet address and that will be your username and then
whatever you put after this period is going to be your worker so this is the worker name and you can
even completely remove it and you'll be fine so if you do decide to put more than one pool you want
to go ahead and do dash o after the password and then just add a username and a password as well
and the benefits of that is if your first pool goes down or they have like server disconnection
or anything like that then it will kick off the second pool so it's just like having a
backup plan now if you also go a little bit lower you'll see here there's some global pool options
and those generally run in the background so you don't need to touch anything at all but these just
will help you if your pool disconnects or anything like that or you get a lot of rejected chairs
then it will reset the pool connection and then run again so you can feel free to change the
default values with whichever way you want now if you go a little bit lower here you have your gpu
option now this is one of the important commands that you want to know now for the dash devices
or dash d this is for selecting whichever gpu you want to mine with so if you have two gpus in your
pc and you're not mining on a mining rig where you want to utilize all the cards then you can
just do dash dash devices and then i would say for example zero and it will only use the first gpu
because the numbering here starts from zero so it would start zero one two three four and
then you can just select your gpus like that and what you can also use this for is for mining two
different algorithms so instead of doing dash a ether you can also do dash a kapow and then put
number one for your devices and run two of these bad files you'll have one mining ethereum and
then one card mining kapow they also have a list devices command which you can see all the gpus
that are triggered and the number that they're next to and other than that if you go a little
bit lower you'll see the fan control options and these are just for controlling your fan honestly
i would just use these in the msi afterburner or whatever overclocking software that you're using
and then finally you have the watchdog options now the watchdog options is what monitors your
miner and restarts it if it needs to restart or turns it off when it reads a certain temperature
so these are just security measures that are built in place now you can go ahead and change
the numbers as you want but generally leaving it the way it is is completely fine and then after
that you'll just find the different e-options and different algorithm specific options so these like
i said they're just better to go through them with the batch files now that doesn't mean all this
information is useless but if you do want to read through them and just understand what everything
does then this is a good way to do so although there's one option that's pretty important here
and this is the eth config so as you can see here it says that there's more information on
this in the ether tuning guide dot txt so let's go ahead and move on to that file right now
now you can see here that this eth config is also set automatically by the miner startup and what
that does is it finds the specific value for configuration for your gpu that works best for
it so this is great for radeon 7s rx 5700 xt's and all the 5000 series cards now these modes do boost
your hash rate and they do help you use less power as well which is great so you don't really have to
touch this command either because it sets it up automatically but it's just something that you
want to know because this is one benefit that team redminer has for the amd cards now if you
keep scrolling down the usage txt file you'll just find algorithm specific options so proc
power kryptonite options and just keeps going on and on so all these commands i'm not going to go
through because honestly you won't be using them as often at all to mine ethereum all you have to
do is the quick startup but this is just things that you want to know in general when you're using
teamredminer now that covers the commands and all the documentation txt files so now basically that
is it for teamredminer if you guys have any questions please let me know in the comments
below and if there's anything that i missed out you can also let me know in the comments below
now there is some advanced stuff that you can use with teamredminer that also has to do with the api
so with these apis you can get information on your gpus and use them with different applications that
you want to use but this is something i'm not going to be covering but i will be doing a video
on it in the future showing an example use case for this so now as a conclusion what do i think
about team red miner honestly it is my go-to for amd cards now on hive os or windows i use team
red miner especially for my radeon 7 rig so with my radiant sevens i used to use phoenix miner for
them and then team redminer implemented that rig config that i was just talking about now once team
redminer implemented that and then i used them i went from 90 mega hash to almost 100 mega hash on
the radiant sevens so using team red miner for the radian sevens definitely boosts your hash rate so
i would recommend it for that as well as any amd cards in general so it's definitely a great mining
software for amd cards and especially that it's made only for amd cards they can focus on tuning
it down for those cards now same goes with trx miner it's made only for nvidia cards so they're
really good for nvidia and i will be making a guide on that next so now that is it for the video
if you guys enjoyed this video please leave a thumbs up and if you're new here make sure to
subscribe and thank you guys so much for being awesome and i hope you have a wonderful day
