Re: I built my first mining rig and it cant mine ANYTHING, please help :)
Hello all!
Thank you for taking the time to read this, Ill try to be short. I have a mining rig I built with 8 gb of ram, 24 gb of virtual memory allocated (hard drive) and TWO gtx 970 4gb graphics cards (8gb total of gpu ram). and an i5 4 core processor. my display is using my motherboards integrated graphics card. I assumed this would be enough to mine even the crappiest of altcoins but it doesnt work.
I cant mine zcash, I cant mine ravencoin and I cant mine eth (not suprised by eth)
I have tried 20 youtube video tutorials setting up a simple mining operation but NOTHING works. I always get "cannot write dag file" from the eth miner or "memory dump" from the raven miner
What the heck am I doing wrong? I am very confused and thought this would be simple. I've already wasted a lot of money on this and would love some help.
Thank you
You build your first mining rig with sets of old graphic cards, I hope those gtx970 aren't new because it's a total waste of money, you should look into disposing them off if really you are into mining right now and buy better graphic cards, even RX570 and 580 beats gtx970 in mining, they are more cheaper and more profitableThank you for taking the time to read this, Ill try to be short.
