Mine Crypto Anywhere with Your Computer - Home, Work, School. Simple Noob Friendly Guide
After my post about dedicated for mining Nvidia/AMD cards a lot of people asked in comment - but how do i start mining?!
This is almost out of the box method and works on many systems not just Windows.
I wont speak of other things you can do on the platform or what fees they take etc, just will stick to how to setup mining in less than 10 minutes with 0 knowledge.
MinerGate Software.
There is few of those but this one is the easiest and most platform friendly.
Since some people ask who are them, its a company that is behind Changelly (where you can exchange on the fly STEEM to BTC ie) and HitBTC (exchange with STEEM).
First get to THEIR WEBSITE and register.
Login and Download Software
Its for many platforms so im sure your computer fits.
Login to Software
Run Benchmark (a test).
Dont worry of low numbers, alts jump high in a year ;)
Start Smart Miner
Now choose Smart Miner Tab and Run It
Choose Preffered Coins
If you dont want smart miner which auto detects best coins but ie you feel something will pump choose it and mine yourself.
And you are set.
Mining Doesnt Get Easier Than That
Other company but windows only is NiceHash and has some harder benchmarks and more coins but for start stay on MG and move up the more and more you learn how all this works.

Thanks for this awesome step by step guide!
I thought that MinerGate or Nicehash miner programs don't need any guide, just install and read what that programs say. Anyway, thank god for any guide, that can be found anywhere in the internet.

🚨 SCAM ALERT 🚨
Look up Nanohash on Youtube or google
Looks like a fraud
@Wiedy
nanohash is still paying you are a spamer im just spreading a new mining cloud, its paying out so is not a scam if you can prove it is a scam give the info, not just writte on all my comments the same, i can do it back and flag you because its paying right now and is online http://nanohash.net
I also recommend miner gate as I know about is personally.
Thanks @kingscrown, I've been meaning to get my feet wet in mining but there is only so much time and so many things to learn about in the crypto universe. This is great for a noob like me to get started. I appreciate it!
Trust me....thi will be thee easiest way for u to get ur feet soaked! a nicce foot massage in a jacuzzi ! sart mining bytecoins and u will make thousand of em before u know it!!!1 way cooler than doge u will love r bytecoins uz theyll be worth $1 soonand only $00.002 now but were like $00.00001 like montsh ago!
Good to know!
Hello while it is good that minergate has all these kind of interface to help the beginners to kick start with their mining business, when the investment increase or when one get more experience, one should find an alternative way to mine because minergate do not utilize the best a GPU algo would give you.
while i generally agree, the latest gui definitely helps a lot (1.6.8). i'm getting much better (read: 200% better) hashes on XMR with just GPU versus 1.6.6. that and you can get a nice slow drip on some crappy laptop.
yes same here
i personally think it is a bit hard to get some good earnings without spending a lot of energy. Beginners must have a big capital to start mining with. minergate would not give earnings as someone would expect. unlike GPU, but could rather get your computer damaged and the problem if you only have one.
Solar Panels (also install it at work iin offfice buildings and at schools where they already leavve compuers on all night might as well get some use out of all t hese computers sitting aroound, honestly it is helping humanity the eletricity is fuckinworth it evenif its unproftable bbeecause the coin will be worth so much money one day even Bytecoin will be worth $100s of dollars
An idling computer vs a mining computer are two totally different things. Mining hardware generally has a lot shorter lifespan because of the extreme usage and heat generation. You would be stealing electricity and possibly "vandalizing" your school's or company's computer.
Your claims that mining is worthwhile are pure speculation. Although I obviously hope they will come true.

Then yo might help steemit too as @ackza said in earlier comment.
Give value to steemit and community. Gain it back.
@kingscrown I think there is a key detail missing from here. The time it takes Minergate servers to confirm mined coins depend on the platform (pc vssmartphone).
So even though you have mined 10 coins, unless the servers have confirmed them, they just sit in your account.
For those who are holding their coins long-term, this may be fine. For people trying to convert the mining into income, this proves challenging.
It is quite amazing how far mining has come.
From obscure command line and potential graphics card driver issues, to suddenly a simple UI and auto-mine capabilities.
I'm curious if these coins will have a higher likelihood of success because of things like Minergate, or a lesser cap because they are much more widely accessible immediately.
Been running it for a week now in the background of my desktop:
I downloaded MinerGate last summer - it's got a great interface, and is ridiculously easy to use. But, just a friendly reminder - if you have a standard laptop (which, by those numbers, it looks like you do) - and you pay standard power rates, you will actually be running a deficit. (ie- your power will end up costing you more than the value of all the coins you can mine.)
So, I don't want to sound like a Negative Nancy - but just a heads up, is all. Happy Mining! :-)
hell yes they will, bytecoin is basically rockin because of minergate and it created SO much advertising for it! Bytecoin doesnt spend anymoney on ads so imagine what minergate did for it! peopel already knew Monero but it also got quite popular because of #minergate and etc and eth of course theyd ont need minergate HOWEVER if u look at the total ETH mining on minergate it oes mke up a pretty nice lil chunk of total ethereum mining in the world!
Also Monero is definitly getting free advertising with minergate just being on here, and DigitalNote also , i didnt mess with any of the non BCN, XMR, ETC or ETH coins becase i didnt know about @bittrex i oonly saw the four cins that @poloniex has, but now i know all of the coins onminergate can be sold for BTC easily on bittrex
anyway u should install it on ur android tablets if u have some old ons laying aroound, i trid installin minergate onan old laptop but it was Vista and u do neeed at least windows 7 for minergate lol i love minergate! they also have a affiliate progam when ur logged in on the main website u can see some cool data abdout the ntwork and ur cooin US dollar worth and how much uve mined so far etc and also LEAVE the little awarrds and letthem show up! they REALLy make u feel good when they give u acomplihsments for mining multiplle coins or for more than 3 days straight etc its so fun!
Here are my Achievements Ive earned from the last 3 months of mining on an old laptop from 2009 but recently for last few weeks Ive had the new HP desktop....
And heres my Minergate Affilliate Link for anyone wanting to signup!
https://minergate.com/a/d582a3e158500d130a38afed
Its reallly fun and u can tell your kids its a videogame where u make real money!
I believe I used your link but there was not confirmation about it.. wierd affilliate program
Mining doesn't get any easier than this! I've tried mining before but with my hardware just was not worth it. If I decide to invest in some new hardware I may have to try this for sake of how easy it is. Thanks for bringing something new to my attention! Surely this is going to help a lot of people out!
Bro, you just made my day with this. I have a high end gaming computer and I followed your tut. and I'm currently mining monero. I had been looking into this but hadn't found anything this easy. Going to let it run for a few days and see what happens. I already have a monero balance and I just started the thing up. Thank you thank you thankyou!!!!
How long to mine monero? Presumably quite a while consider current price, no?
Well I don't know, I wasn't getting anything in my wallet but I don't think they complete a block in 2 days on minergate. I saw a bunch of sites today that say minergate is not legit and is scamwear that get's other people to mine for them and never pay out. I think I make more writing content here than mining at this point.
I tried running minergate on my laptop my benchmark was terrible, I ran it anyways for a day just to see how it went, I am pretty sure I would have had my hardware start to get burned out if I had left it on for any considerable amount of time. It is a neat idea and software and could definitely be a good idea if you have a decent setup but just be aware it could decrease the lifespan of your comp.
Also don't run it on an 8 year old laptop ;)
Good post, I would definitely like to get my hands on one of those custom mining gpus!
I was going to ask how hot does your computer get?! Is your computer constantly running? How much money would you make a week with a high speed basic computer?
In my case (remember I was running it on an 8 year old laptop, not the ideal set up lol) my comp ran hard, lot of heat, fans hdd being pushed hard. That is why I stopped.
If you have a decent desktop with agood gpu and decent cooling setup I am sure it would work much better, but remember it uses a lot of power/electricity.
I know some ppl that mined BTC early on and spent more on electricity than what they got in BTC....but that BTC is now worth a fortune, so it was a very good move lol. It is hard to say how much you can make with such volatile prices.
I appreciate the respond my friend. My room mate has a brand new computer and was looking for something to do on it besides porn I guess lol....What coin did you mine when you tried?
Haha, I think it was Monero (XMR)
i have two old laptops im going to try this on. they are toast anyway so i don't care if they burn.
Now saying that. I should prob put them out side in a shed :D :D
Haha, it would be interesting to see how long you could run it without an system failures.
I wonder how many had a load of bitcoins, spent ages mining them, but then just before they would have made them millions they sold them.
I am sure a decent amount. A lot of ppl also lost Bitcoins
Unfortunately with any mainstream computer, and with standard power rates, you will end up paying more in electricity rates than what you can get for mining even the best coin that the program recommends. Now, if you get a special GPU and a high end system (and have really low power rates), you might be able to make some money. But, otherwise, just consider a fun little hobby.
I have had it running on my system since last summer. I just use it occasionally, and have a few bucks in the bank - but as others have mentioned, it's also a real strain on your hardware.
Do you just have it running on a normal computer? A rough ball park estimate, how much would you think a special GPU and high end system cost?
yeah, just on my standard laptop.... like 5 years old... I also have an Nvidia GPU, so I get some extra hash power w/ that - but still, not enough to make it profitable.
oh, I'm guessing you'd have to spend upwards of at least $4K USD to get a set up that's profitable.... I really can't say for sure. Look into special mining GPU's, as I believe Nvidia is releasing a special line of them soon.
I would try to get a loan somehow to get a profitable setup:) I think cryptos are going to be the future..... Do you know of any videos showing how to hook up to Lap Top and what the best products are to buy? Would Nvidia be able to mine all types of coins? I was looking into the Antminer but they can only mine bitcoin type coins? Thanks @internets
dont worry! , ur hardare would not be "burned out" minergate lets u choose how many CPU or GPU cores u wanna use, so u can use half of em or just 1 and ur ccomputer woouldnt be even notcie any sort of wear and tare....
u arent gving ur laptopenough credit :) My laptop is from 2009 thats 8 years too ad its a Dell inspiron basic model and Ive made like $4 a month mining Bytecooinand Moneroo..i now switched toa HP dekstop with vieo card thats new from Frys to mine etherem and bytecoina nd monero now, cuz i need my laptop full ppwer for steemit and the "data" mining we do here!
Anyway dont sell it short! Bytecoins are cheap but will be 41 soon and i was making like a couple bytecoins everyday on my old 8 year old laptop!!! why would u pass up this offer to mine crypto?
Its like mining bitccoins bak in 2009! So what if it would take u a MONTH just to mine ONE bitcoin, TOTALLy worth it!
hahaha u need t be mining as much as u can1
do we really think the price of these coins will stay the same forever???? ddude come on! The coins u mine may only make u a few pennis a day on ur laptop BUT Those pennies willl be wortth hundreds of dollars ina yeearor two!
WHy not stack up those bytecoins while u can still makie 1000 bytecoin a month n anold laptop?
Don't get me wrong my laptop is a beast. It has been used everyday for eight years doing fairly intensive work. No complaints on this laptop.
That being said it is older and the less strain I have to put on it the better. When I do get a new computer I will probably clean this up, do a fresh install and use it as a mining rig, but until then I need to use my comp for work and do not want to dedicate the processing power to mining.
