How to mine Bitcoal using your GPU

in #cryptocurrency7 years ago (edited)

Hello Steemians,

today i will show you how to mine Bitcoal ( a low marketcap coin) with your graphic card.
To see how to get your Wallet and how to mine it using your CPU just check out my previous thread:
https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@mrix/how-to-mine-bitcoal-a-low-marketcap-coin-1-000-000usd

First of all you need to download a GPU-mining software, I will use ccminer for this:
http://ccminer.org/

After that u simply unzip/unpack the downloaded file, and you have to open your configuartion file (if's a .conf data - so have to right click - open with- editor):

Simply edit it like that:

{
"_comment1" : "Possible keys are the long options (ccminer --help)",
"_comment2" : "todo: support /* comments */",

"api-bind": "127.0.0.1:4068",
"statsavg": 20,

"quiet" : false,
"debug" : false,
"protocol" : false,
"cpu-priority" : 3,

"algo" : "cryptonight",

"launch-config" : "32x16",

"url" : "stratum+tcp://pool.democats.org:45600",
"user" : >"YOURWALLET",
"pass" : "x"
}

You just have to replace the YOURWALLET line with your actual wallet and you will receive your bitcoal as soon as you mined some. After editing (and saving it).
After editing it, just start the ccmine.exe file in your folder and then it should look like this:

To check your pending balance and total mined hashes/bitcoal you can go to http://democats.org/pool/?name=bitcoal and paste your wallet in the bottom of the page.

I hope someone who likes to start mining bitcoal via GPU can use this article :)

Have a nice day and i will appreciate every comment/upvote/follow!

Nice post, though can you tell me why you would want to mine it? What do you like about the coin?
