Example BFGminer setup and latest version

Post by Cye » Thu Dec 29, 2016 7:43 pm

Hi,
Does anyone have an example BFGminer setup/images/youtube video, that can help me get started and setup BFGminer and also a suggestion for the latest/best BFGminer to use for mining on Prohashing? Thanks

If you have a better suggestion for a more user friendly miner to use on Prohashing I would be interested to hear. I have used Claymore miners and Genoil for ETH and ZEC and XMR, both Windows64 and GPU mining based. But this BFGminer is above my head, so any help appreciated.

If Prohashing could provide a download that was already pre-configured with most settings that would be a bonus, not sure why this is not offered on pool sites, or at least a youtube video to help with setup, this would make membership signup greater Im sure.

I have 8 rigs with 7GPU installed in each, just trying to figure out the fastest and best way to earn profit as my electric costs are crazy expensive,US$0.17 per kw per hour, and all coin prices are crazy low.

Hi. Thanks for posting. Rather than detail the ins and outs of cgminer on a GPU, I'm going to be honest with you and suggest not mining with us. Mining scrypt with a GPU will make so little money it won't pay back the electricity. The best graphics card, a Titan XP, can get ~6 MH/s scrypt, which is only $0.18/day at current rates. Scrypt mining has moved to specialized ASICs that are hundreds of times more efficient than GPUs. We do plan to implement other GPU-mineable algorithms in the future, but at the moment I suggest avoiding scrypt.

Ok thanks, it would be great if you were able to provide a similar service of switching between mined coins and being able to use GPU miners, its what Im currently looking for and your 5% fee would be fine with me as its a one stop shop.

That's our eventual goal, of which our first step is to get other algorithms enabled on the pool.
