I had 4 NVIDIA 1050ti 4GB GPU's kicking around and built another mining rig to try out mining Etherium Classic ( ETC) AND Zilliqa (ZIL )
A little info about the two different blockchains:
-=Ethereum Classic (ETC)
ETC TICKER: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum-classic/
ETC EXPLORER: https://blockscout.com/etc/mainnet/
ETC WEB WALLET: https://www.myetherwallet.com/
Ethereum Classic is an open source, blockchain-based distributed computing platform featuring smart contract functionality. It supports a modified version of Nakamoto consensus via transaction-based state transitions executed on a public Ethereum Virtual Machine. (SOURCE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethereum_Classic )
-=Zilliqa (ZIL)
ZIL TICKER: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/zilliqa/
ZIL EXPLORER: https://viewblock.io/zilliqa
ZIL WEB WALLET: https://zillet.io/
Zilliqa is a blockchain platform designed around the concept of sharding. Sharding means dividing the network into several smaller component networks that are able to process transactions in parallel. (SOURCE: https://en.bitcoinwiki.org/wiki/Zilliqa)
This means you can mine other coins and ZIL for 1 minute out of every 1-2 hours!! What a unique idea for mining!
Good stuff to read!
Ok! On to mining!
I prefer HIVEOS.
It's linux and that might be a daunting word for some.. but it's very simple if you go slow and follow the steps and there is A LOT of support out there for any issues you might encounter...plus you can boot from a usb stick!
Easy HIVEOS SETUP GUIDE:
==========================================================
Basic steps to install HIVEOS:
1- Create HIVEOS account. ( https://the.hiveos.farm/register/ )
2- Add a worker and obtain "rig.conf" file. ( https://hiveos.farm/getting_started-quick_install/)
3- Download the HIVEOS img. (https://download.hiveos.farm/latest/ )
4- Burn the IMG to USB\SSD drive using Etcher. ( https://www.balena.io/etcher/ )
5- Copy "rig.conf" file to your newly burned HIVEOS USB\SSD ( dismount, remove, put back in, copy file over, dismount)
6- Boot the miner from USB\SSD drive and wait for it to come online in HIVEOS ( 5 - 10 minutes )
7- Configure wallets, flight sheets and OC your cards according to best practices
==========================================================
Once you have a HIVEOS account setup and your miner connected and GPUS OC'd for standard ethash you are ready for DUAL MINING ETC AND ZIL!!!
This guide is easy to follow and I recommend it as you are able to pause to catch up and follow along very nicely!
Easy peasy! ;)
KEEP ON FREAKING FREAKERS!
The best way to mine Bitcoin in Canada is with Shakepay .... earn 1500 Satoshis a day just shaking your iPhone... https://shakepay.me/r/628F30E
I will check it out! Mayb e get some old phones running in a farm.
This guy has great videos on HIVEOS basics.. I think he'd get along very well with some of us that also are friendly strangers. ;)
