Our article was taken from medium.com.
” In this post, I will show you how to mine ETHW in the most user friendly environment, an old Windows PC with Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 GPU. Just to show that anyone can be a mine.
1- Mining ETHW requires a GPU with at least 5GB of RAM and an internet-connected computer.
2- For Nvidia GPU, people recommend T-Rex, a mining software. Open their website https://trex-miner.com/ and download and download the Windows version.
3- Unzip the downloaded ZIP file to a folder.
4- Select any file that starts with “ETH-” inside the folder. Right click on it and select “edit”. The file will open in Notepad. I chose the ETH-ethermine file.
5- Then we need to change the content. There are 3 places.
“stratum+tcp://xxxxxxxx” is the address of a mining pool server. We use EthwMine here (https://ethwmine.com/). Open the website and under “Help” you can find a list of servers.
Choose the one closer to you and replace the original server address with it.
The string after “-u” should be replaced with your own wallet address. This is where you will receive payments.
“-w rig0” is for specifying which GPU you want to use. Uninstall it so that the software tries to use all your GPUs.
The final command will look like this –
Save and close the file.
6- Double click on the file you just changed and now you are mining ETHW. Leave the window open or minimized. Payments will be sent to your address.
If you want to exit, close the window. And you can always reboot whenever you want.
You can also change the filename to “ETHW-ethwmine” to reflect the contents of the file.
7- You can check your mining status at:
https://ethwmine.com/accounts/<add your wallet address here>
Last:
For Linux or AMD GPU please check both websites, they should be very similar.
