You could mine with any Personal computer or any Laptop but it’s highly not recommended as they are not tweaked for Hashing power/price (power usage cost) plus, there is the heating problem.
UBIQ
Ubiq is a decentralized platform which permits the creation and implementation of clever contracts and decentralized applications. constructed upon a progressed Ethereum codebase, the Ubiq blockchain acts as a huge globally dispensed ledger and the supercomputer, allowing builders to create decentralized and automated.
Therefore, below you will find the standard setups for both Desktop PC and Mining Rig.
The concept of a mining rig is to have an open case which allows free flow of air and gpu stay cool, where you could mount your video cards, motherboard, power supply unit and any storage device/SSD. Use all video cards on PCI-E risers to align the GPU and to keep a distance. so that each gpu will stays cool.As power supplying one Powe supply unit or two could be used.Storage is needed for holding the OS so anything could be used (from HDDs, SSDs to usb flash-drives) BUT you want to decrease your power consumption to view more profit .So you should go with the best SSD (solid state drive) on sata 3 interface you can find on the market.
HARDWARE CORNER
Ethereum mining uses Dagger-Hashimoto algorithm for hashing, therefore the AMD video cards are better at memory-intensive workloads, but i’ll post the hash-rates for NVIDIA and AMD GPU.
Please keep in mind that the values are estimated and may contain tweaked (overclocked) values.
Only gpu of Minimum 3GB and more are capable of mining UBIQ !
Most known video cards from AMD used in mining UBQ and their approximate hashrate:
RX 580: 22.5 – 27 mh/s
RX 570: 21 – 26 mh/s
RX 480: 24 – 31 mh/s
RX 470: 23 – 30 mh/s
R9 390: 30 – 31 mh/s
R9 380X: 21 mh/s
R9 380: 19 mh/s
R9 290: 25 – 30 mh/s
R9 280X: 22 – 25 mh/s
R9 270: 15 – 17 mh/s
R7 370: 15 – 20 mh/s
The list here is very limited for NVIDIA because of the cost of hardware and hitting ROI (Rate Of Investment) gets harder.
- GTX 970: 15 – 20 mh/s
- GTX 980Ti: 20 – 23 mh/s
- GTX 1060: 20 – 24 mh/s
- GTX 1070: 26 – 30 mh/s
- GTX 1080: 28 – 30 mh/s
- GTX 1080Ti: 30 – 32 mh/s
As of difficulty increases, older video cards from R7 and R9 series are having lower hashrate then the above specified, so far the best hash rate/power consumption would be the RX 4xx series !
SOFTWARE USAGE
There are many mining software for Dagger Hashimoto, however in this guide we will use the easiest to setup as well as advanced tweaking.
For Beginners guide we will use latest version of Claymore Dual Ethereum + Decred/Siacoin/Lbry/Pascal AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner”.
For Advanced users guide we will go deeper intro other software and extra tweaking such as: Claymore and Ethminer !
NOTE: some antiviruses may detect suspicious files within most miners, ignore it and put it into safe/exclusion mode !
This guide is intended for WINDOWS 7/8.1/10 users only !
Step 1: Download latest ” Claymore’s Dual Ethereum + Decred/Siacoin/Lbry/Pascal AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner “. Direct download link here !
Step 2: Extract the files from downloaded zip to Desktop (or a location of your choice) – right click the zipped archive file -> EXTRACT ALL:
Step 3: Browse the extracted folder and find a file called “start” (that is actually a batch-file with the exact name “start.bat”.
right click it -> Edit ->if(open file security warning) say RUN -> it will open with NOTEPAD.
Step 4: configuring the miner to use your desired Mining Pool and your own wallet. (SEE MINING POOLS for a choice of your own)
Select all the text from opened notepad and copy-paste the text below:
setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool ADRESS:PORT -ewal YOUR_WALLET -epsw x
Step 5: edit ” ADRESS “, ” PORT ” and ” YOUR_WALLET ” to match your own.
For example, for “ADRESS” i will use “us.ubiqpool.io”, for “PORT” i choose a port from http://ubiqpool.io such as “8008” and finally i put my wallet adress in “YOUR_WALLET” from poloniex.com : ” 0x51c4f7a2842625ca868121c371bb9a3054473986 ”
The END RESULTS of example would look like this:
setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool us.ubiqpool.io:8008 -ewal 0x51c4f7a2842625ca868121c371bb9a3054473986 -epsw x
Thats IT! Save the opened start.bat file and RUN it ! you should be start mining !
After a few “share found” messages within miner, you should check your mining progress, go to http://ubiqpool.io (or wherever you are mining) and check your account and/or wallet status for LIVE mining details. Example: go to http://ubiqpool.io -> and input your wallet adress an click Lookup, after a few seconds you should see your immature balance as well as payouts !
