Hello,
im a noob (more noob as you think) in this "game of coin", but somewhere i need to learn.
You guide is great, but i got lot of problems to start...

I have 1 X RX Sapphire 560 4Gb, gives me 11 mh/s on ethereum, but i realy haven't mined it
I'm mining Bytecoin with Minergate (you know, i'm noob!) and go to 300 - 350 hs/s

I got lot of problems also for modding this card. Anything i touch with SRB Polaris, the driver go crash, or card freeze pc (Win 7 64 bit)
I tried anything , also some patch for "unlock" some block on drivers (mine is Crymson 17.8.2, but tested also .9 and .7) , nothing... driver crash.

Using MSI Afterburner let my driver crash also and when i use Trixx there are no differences in mining overclocking or underclocking (tested on Claymor for Eth)
Realy no differences, fixed from 11.3 to 11.4 mh/s. When driver crash, 1,9 mh/s....

I downloaded SG Miner, it wont work, and i don't understand something :

- May i use my HitBct or Youbit wallet address ?
- How can i have worker user and password account for mining pool ?

Now i'm just setting your start.bat configuration, but i recevice this errorm than close shell : Operation successfull , saved specified value
In Italian : Operazione riuscita : valore specificato salvato.

Please help me , i want to learn but i cannot find step - by step guide.

Thank you !

Right now I use minergate to mine XMR, I have several rigs, but I cannot really manage all my rigs by simply using minergate.

This post is really useful for me, and I will keep it and update my mining software.

It's really helpful, especially I have a lot of Nvidia cards.

Don't use Minergate!

That's great, but your memory clocks seems low for this high hashrate. You may try SGminer it perform better.

What is your virtual memory page file size?

Yes, he does, follow the bitcointalk link he posted, he sell it for 0.4 ETH.

Thank you for this thread. I want to say that I have zero mining experience, and very little capital so I want to start small. I think I can understand your guide on how to start,,, but would you be able to show me where I can also find a beginner's setup guide? I have never set up even a computer (I am more noob than you will imagine) so I just want to see if I can find a list of hardware (minimum specs) along with guide on how to install them myself. I can go and buy a ready computer but I know I can save much more if I do on my own.

Any assistance is appreciated!

Start your thread here on bicointalk, guys here will help you. You don't need something special except good PSU and mobo if you want more GPUs. 3-4 GPUs would probably run on most cheap mobo with newer chipset. For 6 and more you need Z170 or Z270 is better choice or mining mobos. CPU take cheapest Celeron or Pentium that will fit. 4 or 8 RAM, 64- 128GB SSD. Gold or platinum PSU. Available GPUs for Monero take cheapest RX 570 or the one with memory heatsink for better peformance, do not buy mining cards.

You need better timings or maybe config for miner.
