As a contribution to Steemit community, for you folks mining here are some critical troubleshooting tips for your mining rigs if/when you have problems. In addition a quick one stop shop to review and revisit on some tip/tricks we have found and communicated in the segment.
Before we get into the tips/tricks, if you do get a chance, check us out on YouTube under Bitsbetrippin if your interested in learning how to mine and/or what various setup you could build to participate in GPU based mining.
Quick Pro-tip of the Day! Scenario - your running a windows mining pc, want your mining software to autostart when the machine has to reboot (for whatever reason). Do the following steps to have it launch your 'start.bat' or other batch files upon booting up.
From your explorer, copy this string, hit enter
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
Then copy and paste a shortcut to your start.bat (miner start file); reboot and validate it autostarts
Windows Users that have just purchased GTX 1050Ti, GTX 1060 3GB/6GB, GTX 1070 8GB, GTX 1080 8GB, GTX 1080Ti 11GB (any brand/memory type) and are only getting 2.5mh or around about that on Ethereum. Do the following:
Make sure your windows version is running the latest, post updates (updating from v1533 to v1702 or higher) is the first critical part. Secondly, check out our Livestream 15, in the description we have posted a link to a new Cuda.dll file that you put in your Claymore directory (overwriting) the existing file in there. This ensures its using the right DirectX setting 2.1 vs 2.0. Lastly make sure your running nVidia drivers 268.xx, they show better results.
If these have helped and you want more elaborate and detailed walkthrough's for mining let us know. We have been working on some comprehensive guides along with showing people through our youtube, but are willing to take at least a series of these guides ONLY avail. on Steemit which should help drive more to the site. Let us know, were ready to put some solid content on this platform.
