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 should have done some research on the most profitable gpu before buying gtx970, I'm wondering how much you got one, buying AMD RX580 or even gtx1650 which is better than gtx970 is still very Profitable for mining today and it's far cheaper, you can get used of this new cards on ebay Thank you for taking the time to read this, Ill try to be short.
