hey guys good evening it's Lee and
welcome to iron mine blocks today's fear
I'll be showing you how to mine grin
using the c31
algorithm so as you may or may not know
grin uses two proof-of-work
algorithms one is called ER c29 which is
the cook a roux and it's also mined with
c 31 which is a cooker 2 algorithm so
both those algorithms are quite similar
but the c 31 is primarily designed for
asacs at the moment there's no ethics
that are available to mine it what you
can actually do is mine it using a
high-end graphics card so in this
particular video I'm going to show you
how to monitor name video graphics card
you need a 10-7 CT higher or higher so
bear that in mind
so I'm gonna be using this minor for the
very first time I've not used this minor
before is the G minor and it's the 1.31
and I'm just going to scale it up with
it for the very first time and show you
everything in this video so let's get
going so on the Bitcoin talk fret which
is actually this tab here you can see
we've got the description it's currently
at version 1.3 one this is a multi - so
you can use it to mine many other
algorithms as well not just the green
algorithms so as I said cookery 29 you
can expect or the results that I've had
with my gtx 980ti is around about 7.2
Giga hashes so that's very typical so
there's no change there ready
but with this minor you can also mind
cook to see 31 and we can see the
results here
so in 0.7 gig hashes what I'm kind of
hoping for is if I can get a slightly
higher performance then it'll probably
be more profitable to mine grin using
c31 than it is C 29 so there the other
steps that you can get there as well so
let's sort go back and download the
miner so I'm not on a Superman of a
research into this miner it's a little
bit of
unknown to me I'm not super familiar
with it so I wouldn't recommend using it
on your main machines issues on your
minor machines don't put on the same
machines you wallets and just be safe
with them so let's open up in a new tab
and one other thing I just wanted to
look at quickly I didn't notice a deaf
ear man I presume there would be a deaf
ear on there but I don't know what that
amount is or where it is that's right
the fee is it's a two percent doe fee
okay so let's get this download going so
we it's one point free one and once you
download it it's already a zip file so
we save that to our downloads folder and
then it will open up let me see what
we've got so we're you need to extract
it
okay so we've got some sample bat files
that is useful so we're gonna be mining
on Corinne 31 so let's take a look
inside this batch file and we are going
to idiot okay so I'm just gonna
customize this batch file and replace it
with settings that are useful obviously
to me so I've got the B minor which was
I was using previously for the C 29 but
we're still gonna mind to Greenport as
well so let's open up and edit that so
it is so it's green poor org and the
poor is that that's not quite right you
don't stray just double check on all
these details so the poor is a you don't
stratum dark green poor - org and I'm
just gonna check the port I think the
port is the same for C 29 and 31 but
I'll just double check so if you go to
the grim poor website and let's just
have a look and just make sure there is
no difference in the ports yeah it looks
like it's the same for ya ever um Eva
proof-of-work
no come over there's a space say I think
there was a space there and so I'm not
too sure exactly on the formatting so I
guess it's username then the set you're
too sure whether password part goes in
and I might have to have a quick look at
the readme and work this out but we'll
put our rig naming here see this is the
problem when you kind of do things for
the first time and when I'm showing you
these kind of things there's lots of
obviously unknowns and we don't know
exactly what we're doing but a fumbling
around but it's worth showing you guys
anyway so you can go and get an idea of
why what I go through behind the scenes
so that should take a quick look at that
readme
okay so should just be like a full stop
or a period in between the username and
the kind of the worker name so that
should be more appropriate okay so we're
about done with the config so let's open
up the afterburner just so you can kind
of see things running and then we shall
see if we can get some mana
you can get smarter running for the
first time
first windows are just open up we'll
drag it into a obviously we don't need
to because we've got batch file so we
don't need to drill on the command line
let's just try rolling this
okay so we've got a user name error oh
yes oh that's yeah it is a wrong
formatting select some just close that
so it should be river / how is that
password format was it like this because
the Grimm pool doesn't have a password
field so maybe if I do it like this you
deficit will be opposed to see the
correct format in my Fink yes should be
it yeah let's go
so connected to the host although the
pool use that password hmm okay there
was a thought you message there but now
it's ears that we've got a new job so
what I'm looking for is to see whether
we get accepted shares that's what I'm
looking for and if you guys are
obviously mine and that's what you want
to be looking for yourself except the
chairs basically tells you that
everything is running as it should ok
we'll just leave it running for a couple
of minutes and see if those accepted
shares and start picking up okay so it's
been about ten minutes now and I've
actually stopped and restarted the miner
the reason being was I only see one
accepted share in the miner there was a
couple of error messages but also on the
poor side of things it was showing out
actually that I was getting valid chairs
but now those fetish chairs have now
stopped so there's something wrong
between the miner and the pool I don't
exactly know what the problem is or
where it lies or what the solution is at
this point in time so what I'm going to
do is show you the miner running on
grooming of again not tested it so when
we were first time - just set up a demo
account just to see how the this miner
connects to grooming and then make sure
it's working normally for you guys so
I've got a kind of dummy patch file here
so I'll put the links in everything that
you need in the video soon as I always
do but this is the pool that can be
connecting to the pool and then I've
just created like dummy username and
password
pure leeches for testing so that's the
batch file that we're going to be using
to start and let's start up
so is green fight 1 - green moon
so yeah I just want to say this time
make sure the minor is starting running
normally see what the difficulty is and
also the number of accepted chairs you
should see them coming through fairly
frequently I can see already that a
difficulty is set to fall on the grin -
pulled it all get set to 8 which is a
higher difficulty means it's going to
take you longer to find chairs so again
we'll leave this running for a few
minutes and then we shall see if we're
getting accepted chairs and then we
should also better check the stats on
the pool using those own details
hopefully no one else is using them at
the same time
okay the mine is running much better
with this pawn so you can see it's been
running for 6 minutes and 30 seconds
still haven't shown one except it shares
so if that's that's okay it just means
that because of the difficulty the the
flow of work is gonna be longer so
you're not going to see it as many
accepted shares but check in on the pool
you can see that these stats are just
sort of showing up now so don't move
that out of the way you can see we've
got one worker to one share and you can
see which just popped up on the stats
there further down
we've got the hash rate that will
obviously increase with time and valid
chairs so it just means that it's
connected to pour when it looks like
it's off to a good start with the green
- Bulldog for some reason something's
not quite right there so my twitch is
the connection issue I'll come back and
try again later but it does seem to be
working much better with the green Paul
calm so a couple of things that we can
look at this the minor the actual kind
of interface is really quite nice
there's a couple of cool features that I
think are a nice it shows you your GPU
power consumption of course it's not
always super accurate but it looks to be
fairly accurate so that gives you a good
indication of how much power you use in
and this one also gives you a breakdown
of how much power you've used in total
since the mana has been running so it
gives you a kilowatt hour breakdown as
well I also noticed in the readme I've
not tested it yet but you can also add
in
your cost per kilowatt hour so then it
will show your total electricity usage
and also a dollar amount whilst Amana
has been running so that's quite a cool
feature of this minor so looking at the
performance stats and profitability on
my results I'm getting so I've got a
cheesy x10 atti
it's a gigabyte Extreme Edition and it
comes kind of like pre overclocked and
we are Rickett in naught point six three
or nine point six five six two Giga
hashes per second so that compares with
seven point two GU caches on c29 there
is a calculator on green - poor dog if
we go all the way up to the top
what's one now these calculators are not
always super accurate but they really
used for give you an idea on an estimate
of what you can um so if we say no point
65 with C 31 and 7.2 with C 29 and which
should I am line so you can see it's
probably easier on a per day basis so
naught point two to one for C 31 which
is what I'm currently mining and 2 5 4
for C 29 so on that basis mine in C 29
is going to be slightly more profitable
mining Negrin some of the other stats
from the fred said that people's getting
slightly higher hash rate on c 31 so
yeah my card is similar to this card
here actually except issue not the
waterfalls version and that's naught
point seven zero so perhaps with a
little bit of overclocking you might
bear to get a slight performance
improvement but I think even at naught
point seven I don't think that's gonna
be quite enough it's going to probably
need to be about yeah it's still not
quite enough there so maybe naught point
eight nine point nine on c 31 to make it
more profitable at this moment in time
of course is to separate algorithm
instead of difficulty and network hash
on both of those is going to change all
the time so it's worth keeping an eye on
and seeing what the profit
team might be like in the future this is
really good early on unfortunately there
was only linux miners available so
that's when the profit was great now
that more people are obviously involved
in grinnin and there's a lot more mining
and the profitability is not quite there
at the moment before c31
so we'll see how that performs in the
future at this moment in time I'm not
going to do any overclocking or anything
else religious to convert I say quick
video and it's obviously run on quite a
long time already but I just want to
show you guys that one a mine using c41
we've windows and your nvidia cards this
is how to get up and running with it
okay guys so I'm gonna leave it here
