GPU & CPU Mining Made Simple

One of the most difficult things for people starting out with mining can be getting used to using all the different kind of mining software and setting them up. It can be a massive headache for most people and I for one have been there trying to set software up and thinking to myself there must be something that can automate this.

Thats when I have discovered minergate, a program with a lovely graphical interface that will mine all cryptocurrencies for you. You simply install, sign up, run a benchmark on your cpu and gpu then start mining away. It really is that simple and with XMR taking off like it is at the time of writing this it couldn't be an easier way to GPU and CPU mine it

How To Mine XMR/Monero With Nvidia

Right... I am starting to get back into the mining world and now that I have a GTX 1070 it has been difficult to say the least. The easiest for people who do not want to be messing around is just to use Nicehash, it pretty much does everything for you

So I have jumped on the XMR/Monero bandwagon and finding guides and software to mine it has been difficult to say the least. I have managed to find a fork of CCminer which allows mining of XMR but I am still not 100% that the hasrate is running at 100%. I have been playing with it the last few days and my 1070 seems to only hash at 315H/s which I do not know is full or not.

Here is the download link for ccminer


Download and unrar ccminer into a folder

Edit the BAT file to the pool you want to mine at with your username and password (or try it just click the bat file xmr-suprnova and see what hashrate you get)

If anyone has any feedback or improvements on how to get more hashes do post in the comments section!
