Thanks for the ongoing tuning, I’m seeing my SBC mining farm jump from a 1ETN payout every ~24 hours to a 1ETN payout every ~14 hours.

Finally got in at ETNOcean, thanks to @Crypto_Kangaroo and @99CENTS for all the online setup help. Super easy with Awesome Miner.

Seeing how it runs on my laptop with an i7 currently, going to set it up on my desktop as well later today.

Download of xmrig-amd-2.8.6-msvc-win64.zip from https ://github.com/xmrig/xmrig-amd/releases/download/v2.8.6/xmrig-amd-2.8.6-msvc-win64.zip is blocked by Chrome as “dangerous”
Gotta love my Chrome nanny…

That is normal for any mining program. If you have any anti-virus software (including Windows Defender) you will need to make an exclusion for the folder where you store the miner files. They will remove the executable files automatically forcing you to re-download it.

Been to the link, scanned the pages. Reviewed what i could…
chrome will not allow GitHub download, says it is “dangerous.”
Downloaded with SeaMonkey.
Now… which do I want to run XMRIG-AMD or AMRIG-AMD-NOTLS?

XMRIG-AMD is fine , join the Telegram channel if you need more setup help for the pool

Im back. Naah, took too long to wait for luck😄

I rented hash a few times and pointed it to this pool to increase my ETN holdings and create buying pressure, 42k for 24 hours yesterday.

how much did it cost and where did you rent?

One of the most popular is https://www.miningrigrentals.com/ and the cost depends on the supplier of the hash.

To be honest I’m not doing the math. The point of me doing this was to increase the strength of the pool so that miners there would not “waste their hash” relatively speaking and get more block rewards so that they would be encouraged to continue mining. LTC was at around $32something and I bought 2 of them on coinbase and waited for them to clear for release. Once they cleared I sent them to MRR

This is the pool and info you need to copy/paste (besides your address) into MRR https://etnocean.thorshammer.cc/#getting_started

Make an account at MRR and send your litecoin to the address they provide you for litecoin and wait for it to clear.

Go to MRR and click at the top where it says rigs and choose the cryptonoteV8/XMR rigs and then click on the pay with litecoin button and you’ll end up here.

https://www.miningrigrentals.com/rigs/cryptonotev8/ltc

Those are the rigs you can rent to mine V8/XMR.

So if I just pick one, as an example this one (this link may not work later) https://www.miningrigrentals.com/rigs/105700/?currency=LTC

The first thing I’m going to look at is minimum rental time and what I can afford and then I’m going to look at “optimal difficulty” and “suggested difficulty” and this is sometimes very far apart and I find that very annoying. The thing is the “optimal difficulty” is sometimes total BS. To find the real difficulty I click on the workers tab on the right and see what diff he/she is using and how he/she’s workers (mining rigs) are performing.

Once I decide on a difficulty level I then rent the rig and click on the “add pool” button that will appear in the upper right and that’s where you will copy/paste the info from https://etnocean.thorshammer.cc/#getting_started and based on the diff I’ve decided I will put that port number after the address so for example I’m renting one right now.
In the “pool host” field I’m putting mine-etnocean.thorshammer.cc:5555 because the miner I’m renting has a diff of 140k which is lower than the 7777 port minimum diff but higher than the 5555 port.

Then under workername you want to put your ETN deposit address etnwhatever then at the very end without a space put a period . and then the fixed difficulty level. I always use a fixed diff but if you don’t want to use a fixed diff just put only your ETN deposit address and the pool will decide your difficulty level for you.

So fixed diff would be for example etnwhateveryouraddressis.140000 for a fixed diff of 140k

You want to stay in communication with the pool owner and other miners on the pool by joining their pool telegram channel. Once you rent the rig click on the details tab for that rig and watch his/her workers to make sure all is well.

can you tell me how much is it cheaper than buying etn?

mining and buying are two completely different things. Buying allows you to get as much as you want at market price. Mining has variables with electricity costs, which algo is being mined (in this specific form of mining) and how profitable the algo being mined is.

With that said, nothing is profitable to mine right now. So you would be better off just purchasing ETN directly. I mine because I already have the equipment sitting next to me…otherwise I’d sell it all and buy ETN directly, wait for moon, then sell some and buy all my stuff back:)
