Setting up My First Mining Rig...

2017-07-09
so today I'm building my first mining rig for you guys and we're using a lot of invidious samples because I've actually sold all my AMD cards off with this etherion booth and Steve was kind enough from hardware unbox to sent us over a lot of his samples as well so if this is profitable of course I will be cutting in him on those profits and also we've got here the rising giveaway pieces so six korazin mdx 370 motherboard that is getting built in the near future and given away on the channel to stay tuned for that so this build is not going to cost me a whole lot I did manage to pick up two asrock each one 70s on eBay they were going on sale last month with that eBay sale so I got two of them 15% off and also got to force early 200s Corsair were kind enough to send them out and I've got an i3 spare a3 here so I'm going to use that as a cpu with the onboard graphics and Steve also had a spare i3 around so the other parts really we're going to be using these h1 seventies as they have five PCIe slots onboard hopefully they all work I'm also still waiting on the riser cable so today's going to be like part one of this build where I'm just showing you some of the parts that I've got sort of setting it up preliminary and then we are going to do part two where I'm going to show you what programs and what currencies I'll try to mine and see if they're profitable for you guys but let's get into this thing and let's start building it so here's the GPU rocky I got my friend to make this up for me because he's into woodworking and you can see there the graphics card will actually just sit on this rack then you'll have your motherboard and power supply nearby and the riser cables coming off the motherboard however since we don't have the riser cables just yet what I'm going to do is I'm going to just leave this off for now and then maybe just set up like four GPUs until the other gear arrive this is the first mining rig set up here I'm waiting on the riser cables to come through before I can complete the build though this is more of a test and it's actually you're working really fun the fans are really loud and I'm getting over 1400 souls per second and I've got the power and it's a 90 percent each and these overclocks dialed and because each of them need to be overclock separately so that is the first one complete we're going to get onto the second one now so there is one slight hiccup here and this is on the power supply that I bought I bought a 1500 watt power supply and you can see here it needs three-phase power so this house I mean only has one place power so unfortunately I'm going to have to set up one of these rigs at my friend's house the one that uses the more powerful components so that stage one of this build is complete and it's still very messy but I still have to wait on a few more parts to come in and then I'll be able to fully complete this and tell you guys how much it is actually making at today's rates and today's difficulty and on that note unfortunately I'm not currently mining the e and I'm not jumping on the D I'm actually jumping on the Z I'm using a currency called Z cash and that's got its own little wallet called Z cash for wind so all you have to do to mine these cryptocurrencies is essentially download a wallet and then make your own little address and that will have a private key attached to that to which you can save onto a USB device and so you won't lose your wallet and you've heard of all those horror stories where in the past people have lost their Bitcoin wallets with like 5,000 coins or something that's because they lost that USB stick on it with the address and the key though not to get too far off topic after you've downloaded your wallet and then you've set it all up you can then choose the miner to download in my case I'm using a miner called II W BSD cache minor version 0.34 B so I've got that set up and that's made specifically for NVIDIA GPUs and they mined really well on this platform I think I mean I'm getting like 700 solutions per second or something or I'm mining actually harvesting 700 souls there are 700 Souls coming in and I'm just harvesting them every second victory the only way poor jokes aside this is where things can get a little bit tricky because here you have to join a pool and if you don't want to join a pool you're essentially just playing your luck and something like joining the lottery you could get lucky and win a whole block of coins say for instance 10 Zac coins or you could miss out for months and get nothing at all so with me I'm just joining a pool it's called supernova and then you have to go into the text file and edit your details in so I've went to the supernova website registered an account and then made a worker and then I put those details into that batch file opened it up and then my GPUs will now get stressed and then I'll mine on that pool and get a delivered to my wallet and then I've got essentially Z cash in my wallet now though all that aside there are a lot of people who are pissed off with crypto currencies a lot of you guys out there in the audience like damn people are driving up the prices of GPUs and people are saying hey this is just the waste of power in ways I mean I can't really argue with you guys I mean because that's what's happening there is a lot of power being wasted and GPU prices are going up it's just in my case I'm thinking of it as hey here's a slice of the pie with cryptocurrency so there's a slice of the pie and you can take a slice how small it is but at the end of the day you can take a slice or you can end up starving so I'm just putting my samples to use and I'd rather kind of not end up starving also sorry I haven't made a video for a while I've been quite sick I got a virus and that took me out for quite a few days however there is some good news and that is that this month use five blog will be coming from Japan so stay tuned for that and and don't forget to use your graphics cards to mine GPU anyway guys if you enjoy today's video then be sure to hit that like button and let me know in the comments section below do you want a slice of the pie if so why and if not why not love reading your comments as always and I'll catch you in the next tag video very soon peace out for now bye Oh hae young yeah good mate hell yeah not too bad yourself yeah gone all right I mean I could be doing better if I had a say for instance some of those GPUs you got sitting there on the backdrop you need a GPU yeah actually more like 508 1080 is 1080p I've sure what do you want those for I just you know a little bit of benchmarking okay no worries I said thanks mate say uh
