hello everyone thanks for checking out
my video I can't believe it's been all
this time and I the goose have not yet
done a video on feathercoin anyway I'm
gonna show you how to use awesome miner
and mining pull hub to mine feathercoin
let's get started the first thing you
need to do is download a copy of Awesome
miner I'll put a link down in the
description just come over here and
click on this top one here called
awesome miner installer download that
and install it the next step is to sign
up with a new account on mining pool hub
com when you sign up make sure you pick
a username that's easy to remember
because we'll type it in again later on
okay the next thing you may consider
doing is downloading a copy of the
feathercoin wallet so if you go to the
bottom of their page there are a bunch
of different links here for wallets
there's two for Windows a 32-bit version
and a 64-bit version so just grab the
corresponding version download it and
install it alright now let's get down to
business if this is your first time
installing awesome miner then it's gonna
pop up a bunch of different wizards just
cancel out of all of those I'll take you
through all the steps from here from
this main screen all we have to do is
create a new miner create a new pool for
feathercoin and then we'll go over to
mining pool hubs set up our wallet and
we should be in good shape
alright so the first thing is to click
on this new miner button here in the top
left and this will give us the new miner
wizard we're gonna go ahead and click on
next and there's really only two options
that we're gonna be concerned with here
managed miner or managed profit miner
the managed miner is one way to just
mine a single coin I'm not going to use
this one because it requires you to
create a device profile if we use the
managed profit miner
then it automatically chooses the right
software for your graphics card okay so
that's what we're going to use
manage profit minor click on next and
then let's give it a name I'm gonna call
mine big red because that's my computer
name the minor host is local that's fine
and for-profit switching profile just
set this to whatever type of graphics
card you have I have a GTX 1080 so I'll
set that to Nvidia then click on next
will confirm it everything looks good
click on finish
now we just have to add the coin -
awesome minor so the way that works is
you click this new pool button up here
and we have a couple of boxes that we
have to fill in the first one is the
description so I'll just call this
feathercoin - mph so I know it's at
mining pool hub and then for the server
URL we're going to go back over to
mining pool hub from the main page on
the left-hand side there's a whole list
of coins
so we'll just go here - feathercoin
click this link that gives us the main
feathercoin like news page but what we
want is underneath the help section
called getting started so just click
that link and it gives us two very
important pieces of information the host
which is this address here hub mining
pool hub comm and then the port number
two zero five one zero so I'm just gonna
right click copy this host address come
back over to Awesome minor and I'm going
to type in Stratham str 80 um+ tcp colon
forward slash forward slash alright so
we're just telling it the types of
protocol we want to use and then I'm
going to right click paste the address
and then we're going to add the port
number you put a colon and the port
number is two zero five one zero I'll
put two zero five one zero
we minimize this now work her name
remember I told you to pick an easy
username on mining pole hub that's where
you're gonna type your mining pool hub
username okay so mine is goose tech and
remember this is case sensitive so be
very careful with how you type it in and
then put a dot and name your machine I'm
just going to call this 1080 because
that's my gtx 1080
the worker password is X and then
underneath optional settings you can put
this to feathercoin
well let's go up here and find Neos
script there we go another coin FTC the
reason you set this coin here is so that
awesome miner knows how to calculate the
profit correctly it downloads the
information from what to mine calm which
has up-to-date statistics well pretty
up-to-date statistics and gives you
reasonably close accurate as estimate as
to what it is that you're going to be
making per day so we'll go ahead and
click on OK and one more step here is
underneath options so click on options
and go to where it says profit switching
click that link and then we're gonna
enable managed profit switching so put a
little check mark here in this top box
make sure the rest of these are
unchecked and then down here on custom
pools put a little check mark there and
then make sure you set this to
feathercoin mines right at the top now I
have a whole bunch of other coins in
here ok and you can do the same thing
you can you can just keep adding coins
so that if you want to change it you can
change it but for right now what we're
doing is basically telling awesome miner
this is the only coin we want to mine so
that's all it won't profit switch or
anything right now it's just gonna do
the 1 coin so we'll go ahead and click
on OK and one last step is to set up our
wallet over on mining pool hub so I'm
going to go back to the site and you see
where it says my account there's a
little link here for wallet click that
and right here where it says pool
account details payment address after
you install your feathercoin wallet
you'll get a wallet address you want to
use the receive address copy your full
address put it right here where it says
payment address and then set your
automatic payout threshold all right the
minimum is point one just keep in mind
that you have a transaction fee of 0.01
so you have to figure out what's
reasonable you I'll leave that up to you
put in your four-digit pin or your OTP
code if you don't know what that OTP
code is it's usually your Google
Authenticator app so I forgot once so
that's what you got to do go to your
google app and put in the six digit code
or whatever and then click on update
account and it'll save your payment
address your threshold and that way
whenever you reach your threshold it'll
automatically send the feathercoin to
your desktop wallet which is much more
secure now if you don't want to do that
if you want to do something like Auto
exchange or whatever then you don't even
have to put a wallet address here you
put the wallet address to like whatever
coin you chose for the auto exchange so
if you're exchanging everything for
litecoin then the only wallet you have
to setup on here is litecoin right
that's just a little bonus info all
right so now we've got our wallet set up
and we've got our minor set up right
here we are ready to start mining so I
want to go ahead and click on start
okay guys this is mining right now but
it's causing the video to stutter a lot
so let's take a look at some of the
stats real quick first off about 850
killer has per second that's around 69
cents a day probably not great for a GTX
1080 there are other coins that I could
mine right now that would be more
profitable you may consider if you have
AMD equipment this is probably a better
algorithm to use for AMD so you might
consider trying that alright guys that's
pretty much it for me if you liked this
video please give me a thumbs up and be

that so get involved and as always
