hey welcome back to the crypto Dave
YouTube channel now today I'm going to
do a very quick video on a how to mine
grocer corner so somebody sent me a
message via YouTube couple of days ago
saying they'd heard about proust we've
kind of been making very big gains and
what was the easiest way to - so today
I'm just gonna talk you through step by
step how you can start mining grocery
line either with your CPU or with a GPU
so for those of you who never heard of
grouse will coin um and it's not one
it's one that I had heard of a bit ago
but it just sort of in passing nobody
really kind of mentioned it but um the
the interest I think really stems from
the fact that we look at a coin market
cap here you can see um it's been around
since 2014 but just in the last sort of
month or two we've seen some really big
kind of spikes in in price for grocery
point so that's really what it's kind of
I presume piqued people's interests and
that's why they are interested in mine
in it but uh if you want to find out a
little bit more about the coin it's
their website these gross old coin org
and you can read all about the the coin
now or what they're doing you can
download the wallets and pick wallets
and you can buy them find information
about exchanges and stuff but um that's
just a very quick overview of gross with
coin let's jump over quickly and I will
explain how you start mining this coin
so I'm just going to jump over onto my
desktop machine here right so we're like
desktop machine now so the first thing
you need to do is download a wallet so
if you go to the coastal Coyne website
just click on downloads and you can see
there's wallets for lots of different
operating systems and there's different
types I just grabbed the call right here
which is going call so I've downloaded
that and I just said it running so you
can see that here it still hasn't caught
up so it hasn't sink the entire
blockchain it's only been running for
about half an hour and it'll probably
take another maybe an hour to to sync
but what you don't need to do is wait
for it to completely finish if you
actually just open up a wallet any kind
of cool with it like this and just click
hired and if you go to receive
and you can see here I put in supernovae
so this is the pool I'll be using so
just type that into the label there and
you can get an address so if we double
click that and see this is the address
I'm going to be using and you will need
an address for your mining so go ahead
grab the wallet set that download it as
always with any kind of wallet the first
thing you should do is encrypt it so I
can see I've been corrected it here and
also take a backup of the wallet dot
that file so do that
grab a receive address what I tend to do
whenever I'm setting up to start mine in
a new coin I will just put a quick text
file on the desktop where I have all the
kind of like the pertinent information
to hand so it makes it just easier as
we're going through and setting stuff up
so as you can see I grab the address
from the wallet there and I've just put
that in there so we don't need the
wallet now you can just leave that
running in the background syncing so the
next thing we need to do is sign up to a
pool so a mining pool now I'm just going
to jump back over onto my day-to-day
machine here so we're going to use today
is GRS supernova CC now supernova is a
great pool they have pools for almost
all coins and whenever you're when
everyone kind of jumping onto a new coin
or I'm looking to have a you know go
things then I often use supernova as my
initial kind of pool because as I said
they do support so many kind of
different coins and it worked pretty
well they're reliable they pay out on
time so the first thing you need to do
is jump over to GRA supernova CC sign up
with an account and then once you've
signed up an account just go to the my
account details and my workers and what
you're going to do is just set up a
worker that we're going to put into the
mining software so you say I've said up
to here one's called worker one and ones
called worker two and I'll just put X as
a pass work it's easy to remember so
let's jump back over onto the desktop
and I will show you how to start mining
so you'll need to take a note if they
say you'll have a username for
the pool and then it's normally user
name dot worker whatever the work name
is and just make a note also of your
work and password so let's jump back
over to the desktop machine so there's
two pieces of software and I will link
both of those in the description below
that you can download to start mining so
there is a CPU miner and then there's
also this is the AMD GPU miner there's
also an NVIDIA GPU miner I don't have an
Nvidia card in this machine so there's
no point me downloading that but there
is an Nvidia one available but um we're
going to just set up the CPU miner and
also the GPU miner and then we'll give
those a go check they're all working
properly and that will be us done for
today so um basically what I do I use
7-zip
often which is a freely available and
free to download a piece of software and
it just allows you to unzip and on tar
far as it your download off the internet
so what I've done is literally just
unzipped those aren't our those and put
them on the desktop here so you can
download that once you're in the
downloads just unzip them into your
desktop and then and again I will put
these these commands here so these are
basically just basic commands to run
each of the miners so I will copy these
in the description below as well so you
can literally copy and paste these
directly into your miner just make sure
that you change you can see here we've
got a - you and that's your username and
you can see their crypto Dave UK dot
worker one which was what we set up at
supernova and then - peas password and
the password is just X and then in the
GPU the the syntax is slightly different
but again we've got the same bit at the
end here so - you that's a username and
in this case I've used the worker -
username and - bézé is X again so the
reason I did that is that we can run
both of these and we can see worker one
is the CPU miner and worker two is the
GPU miner and then we can keep a track
of them separately so we know they're
both working but once you've them
unzipped both these programs basically
the CPU mine is probably the easiest one
and there will be these files within it
minor D DX e now this is the father
does the mining and then there's a few
DLL files and a back file now if you
open the back file just edit that and
copy this line in I can I'll put these
below so just copy that line in make
sure you update your worker so this is
all preset for supernova the supernova
Paul if you're using a different hall
you can just literally update this URL
here but that's all you need to do it
already comes with a bat file just
overwrite what's in there with with this
line here and then literally if you
double click that that should start
running so you can see the windows
opened up this is the brutal coin CPU
miner and it's going through the threat
so this is a twelve core CPU here this
is a rising CPU and we can see now I
started accepting hashes here so that's
all running away and nicely so that
seems to be working fine and then if we
minimize that we can leave that running
in the background and the SG minor so
this is a slightly different there's a
few more files in it again s G minor DXE
that's the actual mining software but it
doesn't have a bat a file by default so
I just set one up called start bat and
the easiest way to do that on Windows is
just to go to new and you can go text
document and then say call this start to
don't bat and it says it's literally as
simple as that and then you edit that
file and you can copy in this case this
line which is the SG minor but far
configuration and we copy that in you
can copy it as it is in here but again
make sure you remember to update your
worker username and password if you've
set a password because otherwise you'll
be mining on my account and although
that would be much appreciated obviously
you want to take advantage of your own
mining efforts so let's just delete that
start - but we can see here this was a
start that I set up earlier you can see
it's just got that
line in it and once again you start
mining just by double-clicking that file
and we can see so windows opened and
it's started using the FG minor and then
if you leave it for a few seconds and
you see this pop-up it gives you some
information here about your GPU so it's
the temperature fan speed and then
you'll see here your mining speed so
it's just creeping up at the moment and
after a few seconds it will start
receiving jobs and hopefully completing
those so see there one was rejected I've
not found but then it's accepting its
accepting solutions for our kind of
mining so everything's kind of working
now you'll see as time goes on the
temperature of the GPU will kinda rise
up and this should this should reach a
kind of an equilibrium so for this just
on our default values it's around
nineteen mega hashes a second so it
literally is as simple as that to start
mining now the one thing that a few
people have asked me about and this is
something if you're on Windows 10 that
often mining software is falsely
identified as a virus by Windows
Defender and what you might find is that
your unzipped your your GPU miner CPU
miner to your desktop when you run it
suddenly Windows Defender pops up and it
says it's found the threat and removed
it and what it tends to do is just
delete that file so if you find that the
miner the file is being deleted there's
an easy way of getting around that
actually so if you go to your Windows
Defender and just open that up and then
in the corner here there's a Settings
button so if we click that and then we
click on virus and threat protection
settings and then if you scroll down
there's a section here called exclusions
so you can add or remove exclusions here
so if we click that and you can see here
I've just added exclusions for those two
minors so if you click on the plus you
can either add a particular file or I
find it's often easier to use folder if
you try and add the edge
file for the miner sometimes it comes up
and says it won't allow you to add it
because it thinks it's a virus but if
you just had a folder and then you we
just go to the desktop here we can see
that he's at cash - so we can select
that folder and then it will whitelist
that we just click yes so we can say
we've whitelist of that and then it will
not see the the miner executive or
inside that as a Verizon won't delete it
but that's something that a few people
have seen so they've started running it
when those defenders deleted it and then
they're trying to run the bat file and
it's actually deleted the actual miner
behind that but um if we jump very
quickly back over to my day to day
machine here and we have a look at the
dashboard we should be able to see some
stats now I'll showing up so we got my
hash rates we've got 18 making hash as a
second there within these statistics
poor statistics you can see all the
different information about the
different blocks around uptime graph so
there's various information and
statistics here but you can if we look
at this so you can see this is your
house right
and the average hash rate and you can
have a look at your workers and check
that everything is as it should be but
if you go back to account and go to the
my workers you should now see that
they're both showing up with them some
killer hashes are second so they're both
working now the difficulty will adjust
automatically depending on the speed of
your CPU or GPU but we can see that both
of those are running and again back on
the dashboard we can see that there's a
hash rate in my hash right now now in
order to get played out you have to go
to the earnings tab and where is it
sorry edit account tab rather and then
here you can put in your payment address
and any donation you can set an
automatic payment threshold and that
payment address here is just the address
that we found from our wallets here so
that's just the address that we picked
up here so you put that address in to
the pool and you can set you know the
you want to get paid out you can either
do it manually or set it in an automatic
manner but anyway that's a very quick
way to get mining I hope that's been
useful if there's anything that doesn't
make sense
send me a comment below but I will put
all the information so the command lines
for that for the bat files and the links
to download the mining software in the
description below anyway that's all for
today have a great day and hopefully I
will see you on the next video thanks
very much probably
