Is quite difficult to mine on your standard PC as there are quite a few step to go through as can be seen in our comprehensive. If you aren't tech savvy or willing to give a bit of time to getting it up and running yourself, there is another way. This is where you pay someone else to do it for you and get them to run the mining equipment on your behalf.

You can compare all. You can buy your first cloud mining contract with Genesis Mining. This is called cloud mining. It has been happening for a long time with Bitcoin and a number of reputable providers have come to the fore where you can trust their reputation for them not to run off with your money. This is especially true of Genesis Mining who are the first to set up a batch of Ethereum Mining contracts where all you do is pay them some cash and your up and running as an Ethereum miner - as simple as that - no hassle no playing around with downloading Geth and using command prompt - and most importantly you don't have to maintain it yourself which can be a big issue if you have to keep going to restart your computer. So it saves your time! The reason Ethereum Cloud miners can get better deals is two fold.

Firstly they buy in bulk, so they get a discount on all their graphics cards. Secondly they can put their mining machines in low cost locations such as Iceland. This severely reduces the operating costs of running an ethereum mining contract which means they can pass on these savings to you. In fact Genesis mining run their contracts off green energy - so you can say your being green whilst being in the avant-garde of a financial and technological revolution. They offer the contracts for a period of one year and during that year you have no extra fees its a one off up front payment. You might wonder how they can do this - the simple reason is that they hedge their profit and loss so there is no risk of everything going wrong - they hedge the. They also guarantee 100% uptime - this means that if your miner goes offline - they will substitute their own machines immediately - kind of like getting replacement car if yours breaks down.

The other advantage is that you don't have to listen to the noise that it creates. Adding all of this together it would seem pretty logical to opt for a mining contract unless the joy of mining was for the joy of mining itself. Although you might just get a smaller slice of profitability by doing it for yourself - would it be worth it - we don't think so.

Here are three of the top mining contracts on offer. 1 Mh/s $44 $44 per MH/s 25 MH/s $1100 $44 per MH/s 100 MH/s $4400 $44 per Mh/s They are all priced the same on a cost per MH basis - usually you get a discount the more you buy. However this is due to the demand with Ethereum as it is such a popular 2nd generation crypto currency. They generally offer daily payouts to the user which you can feed into your or however you choose to store it. If you want to find out more about cloud contracts you can read about it and if you want to find out some more about ethereum, how it is mined and issued, you can find more guides. You can buy your first cloud mining contract with Genesis Mining.

Is quite difficult to get mining on windows - although with a bit of help and following the tutorial below you can get it up and running and start your own ethereum mining project in 15 mins. We're going to show you how to start mining on your GPU and CPU with Windows 64 bit in this guide. You will need to download two programs and need to have a decent GPU with more than 1GB of memory to get the most bang for your buck in terms of mining as Ethereum works on a memory hard hashing technique which GPU's are best.

You can also mine if you start your geth in Step 7 with the param --oppose-dao-fork.. Running a CPU you might be able to generate 0.15 Mega Hashes whilst with a decent GPU with enough memory you could be doing upwards 25 Mega Hashes ( and use our guide on ). So in terms of total efficiency, taking into account electrical costs, a GPU is definitely worth it even if it costs you $200. You can also try buying a cloud mining contract with. Part 1 - Installing GETH, Syncing the Blockchain & creating your own address! Step 1: The first thing you need to do is go to this link. Geth is the program that communicates with the Ethereum Network and acts as the a relay between your computer, its hardware and the rest of the ethereum network computers so if a block is mined by another computer your Geth program will pick it up and then pass on the new information onto your GPU or CPU for mining.

Step 2: You need to unzip the GETH file and move it to a location on your hard drive. In this case we'll move it to the hard drive, usually ( C:) - which will make the next step easier.

All you need to do is copy the file you have downloaded and unzipped and move it to the hard drive folder. Step 3:Now you need to run the program you just downloaded. To do this you need to run Command Prompt. You can do this by searching in the search function in Windows for ' CMD' and then clicking on it when it shows up.

Step 4: Command Prompt is now open - and can look terrifying to people who aren't familiar with it. The Command Prompt box usually has C: Users Username>showing in it - where Username is your username - so if you log into your computer with the username cryptocompare then the command prompt box will open with C: Users cryptocompare.

You need to tell the computer to look in another place Type cd / into the newly opened command prompt. You should now see ' C: >', You have just used the cd command or ' change directory' command to make command prompt look at the C:/ drive.

Step 5: You need to tell your Geth program to create a new account. As you have installed it in your user directory in Step 2 then it is just a simple case of typing in ' geth account new' and then pressing return/enter. This should look like this ' C: >geth account new'. Step 6: After hitting the enter button in Step 5, you will be asked to enter a password - N.B. You will not be able to see what you are typing in so type it carefully. This is the password that locks your account and keeps your Private key safe - if you lose this password you will lose all your Ether attached to the wallet held by that Private key. Once you have entered your password and confirmed it by entering it a second time you will have created a new account!

Congratulations your about a third of the way there. Step 7: You need to tell your Geth Program to start communicating with the rest of the Ethereum network.

You do this by typing in ' geth --rpc' - this should look like ' C: >geth --rpc' (on the latest version you should try: geth --rpc --fast --cache=1024) Press enter and the screen should start downloading the blockchain for Ethereum - at this point you are synchronising with the rest of the Ethereum network. This can take a while depending on your internet speed and the current size of the blockchain, anywhere between 20 min and multiple hours. Sometimes your firewall can block this process - just click allow access. Keep this cmd open, you will need this to run in the background in order to be able to mine. Also make sure you start mining only after your blockchain is synchronised, not before. Due to The DAO hard fork you will have to specify if you want to mine on the hard fork chain or on the chain without the hard fork.

Good LBRY Credits LBC Mining Pools. To mine use geth --rpc --support-dao-fork in order to mine use: geth --rpc --oppose-dao-fork Part 2 - Installing the Mining Software and Starting to Mine Step 8: Now you need to which makes your GPU or CPU run the hashing algorithm that is integral to securing the Ethereum network through proof of work. You can download this here and be sure to scroll down to the bottom of the page to get the right version - the latest and most up to date one is right at the end. Step 9: Click on the download and click install. Your firewall can cause issues but just click allow if it does so - the same is true of windows that doesn't recognise or approve the software - tell windows its ok when asked. Click through the installation process until Ethminer is installed. Step 10: You need to open up another command prompt as in step 4 - so your going to get two scary looking boxes. Simply click right click on your already open command prompt in the taskbar at the bottom of the page and click on command prompt in the menu that appears.

A new command prompt should open with ' C: users username>'. This is the wrong place to look for etherminer so you need to tell it the right place to find it. Step 11: Type ' cd /' into the newly opened command prompt which should look like this ' C: users username>cd /' and then press enter.

You should now see 'C: >', You have just used the 'cd' command or 'change directory' command to make command prompt look at the C:/ drive - not your user file. Step 12: Type in ' cd prog' and then press the tab button. This should look like this C: >cd prog and then press 'tab' which will automatically complete the phrase for the closest fit found in the C: drive just like autotext does on your Iphone. After pressing 'tab', you should see C:/>cd 'Program Files' and press enter which should give you a new line saying 'C: Program Files>'. Step 13: Type in cd cpp and then press tab and then enter. This is taking you into the newly installed Ethereum Mining software folder. And this should look like this after pressing tab C: Program Files>cd cpp-ethereum and pressing enter gives you C: Program Files cpp-ethereum.

Step 14 GPU mining ( only do this after your blockchain is synchronised): Type in ethminer -G and press enter and then you should start mining with your GPU after building a DAG file which can take around ten minutes. There can be problems at this point. For example the program might say that you have insufficient memory on your Graphics card to mine the with Ethereum's Ethash algorithm. If this is the case you can still mine with your CPU or go out and buy a new graphics card! You can see and. We've also added a guide on.

If you get an error message press Ctrl and c together to cancel the process. Then you can either retry it - or alternatively move onto step 16 and mine with your CPU rather than your GPU. Step 15 CPU mining: Type in ethminer and press 'enter' and you will start mining with your CPU. Again you will need to create a DAG file the first time you do this which can take some time. But after that is complete your Geth program downloaded in step 1 should start talking to your ethminer program and you should start mining!

Step 16 Hashing Power benchmark: If you want to get an estimation of your hashing power you can run ethminer -M (for CPU mining) or ethminer -G -M ( for GPU mining). The command will run and you should get a result similar to the image bellow.

Step 15 and 16 possible error: If you are not patient is ' JSON-RPC problem. Probably couldn't connect.

Retrying in 1.' As you can see in the screenshot bellow this happens when you don't have the blockchain synced yet. FAQ: If you are having issues getting your GPU to mine type ethminer --opencl-platform 1 to fix it for Nvidia. This usually happens when you have an integrated GPU as well as a dedicated one.

If you are having issues finding peers, try to use: geth --nat=none If you are using ATI cards, in order to optimize your mining open a cmd prompt and run: setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0 setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100 setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1 Also when you run ethminer, try using the extra params: --cl-global-work 16834 --cl-local-work 256 Good luck and if there are any problems type a comment in at the bottom of this article and the community will help you get started!
