How To Mine on Windows Using an AMD GPU
Pool Mining
Make sure that you have already setup a wallet! You can check out the Windows Wallet Guide to learn more.
Pool mining does not require the network running.
Step 1: Downloading the Files
Download this special Pool Miner. Put that folder in its own folder (perhaps Pool AMD Miner).
Step 2: Setting Up the Miner
Now you will want to edit the file Run-Allium.bat
Edit the file (Right Click > Edit), and enter this
.\sgminer.exe -k allium -o POOL -u ADDRESS -p x
Then, replace the POOL
to the pool’s address (you can find some available pools here).
Once that is done, replace the ADDRESS
(which is right after -u
) to your address.
If you have an AMD navi gpu, or a newer AMD gpu in general if you aren't sure, try replacing -k allium
with -k allium_navi
.
Additionally, some pools may require the option --difficulty-multiplier 0.5
to be specified. You may need to test this later.
Step 3: Start Mining
You can open Run-Allium.bat
!
The miner might take a while to calibrate, it can take between 1 to 10 minutes.
Access is denied
Check your antivirus, it might be preventing the network from functioning
