Many people hear about Bitcoin mining and wonder what it is exactly and what is involved to get started. Cryptocurrency mining can be a complex process that takes time to master. However, it can also be incredibly rewarding and lucrative. By using BT-Miners, we can help walk you through getting started with various forms of crypto mining.

You may understand that you can purchase cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Kadena, Ripple, etc. on a marketplace. The main benefit of “mining” is being able to earn this cryptocurrency without having to spend money directly to get it. A Crypto Miner, often called a Mining Rig in the industry, is a piece of sophisticated computer hardware that performs certain tasks. For each completed task, you are compensated in crypto which can be saved, spent, or converted to other assets. The components of a typical miner are similar to that of high-speed computer. However, unlike your basic home computer, Miners are specialized equipment designed to perform certain mining-specific tasks.

The ways you can earn this currency differ; one way, for example, is by validating crypto transactions on a Blockchain network. But put simply—a miner gets rewarded in crypto by completing certain types of work. Besides when maintenance is needed, there is little actual work that you have to do for your Miner to successfully mine. No hard hats or pick axe required!

Blockchain is a banking ledger for cryptocurrency. Unlike a physical bank that keeps transaction records, cryptocurrency transactions are conducted worldwide. Transactions are updated by the users of the cryptocurrency and that resulting record of blocks of data is called the Blockchain. Each cryptocurrency has it’s own blockchain record.

One of the tasks a Miner does is to validate the transactions listed in the blockchain. Simply, the miner must compute and solve a complex equation so that new transactions can be verified and added. Once the miner successfully completes a task, it earns a certain amount of crypto. Since transactions are continuously occurring in the marketplace, there are always new equations for the miner to solve. The key is that the first miner to solve the equation is the one compensated, so the more rigs you have, the faster they will solve equations and the more money you will earn.

There is no single best miner for every customer. The right model depends on your budget, electricity cost and capacity, target proof-of-work coin, expected noise and heat, available ventilation, and hosting plan. Profitability is not guaranteed and changes with network difficulty, coin price, pool fees, and power cost.

BT-Miners supplies ASIC miners for proof-of-work networks including BTC, LTC/DOGE, ETC, KAS, KDA, CKB, ZEC and other supported algorithms. Ethereum (ETH) itself is no longer mineable because the Ethereum network moved to proof-of-stake. Some EtHash-family miners may support other proof-of-work coins such as ETC or ETHW, depending on the exact model and firmware. Always check the product specification before ordering.

Besides the physical mining hardware available at BT-Miners, there is mining software and a “wallet” to store your cryptocurrency. BT-Miners pre-tests our mining hardware to ensure that it is ready to go. You will need the appropriate electrical supply, a computer, and an internet connection to start mining.

There are many different mining software available depending on the type of cryptocurrency you want to mine and type of operating system installed on the Miner. Many of the software platforms are free to use to connect you to a Mining Pool. One computer can run multiple miners.

Finally, you need a place to collect your cryptocurrency generated through your mining efforts. Wallets are essentially encrypted online bank accounts that store cryptocurrency. There are many different platforms available, each with its own benefits and features. Some include software that help track your performance and tools to convert your cryptocurrency.

At BT-Miners we can help guide you through the setup process to start crypto mining.

Crypto mining commonly uses CPU, GPU, or ASIC hardware. BT-Miners primarily supplies ASIC miners, which are purpose-built for specific mining algorithms.

Ethereum (ETH) is no longer mineable because the Ethereum network moved to proof-of-stake. Do not describe an ASIC as an “ETH miner.” Depending on its exact algorithm, model, and firmware, an EtHash-family ASIC may instead mine proof-of-work coins such as Ethereum Classic (ETC) or ETHW. Other ASIC categories include BTC miners, LTC/DOGE miners, KAS miners, KDA miners, CKB miners, ZEC miners, and additional algorithm-specific models. Always confirm the supported algorithm and coin for the exact product.

At BT-Miners, we partner with multiple Mining Farms to provide crypto mining hosting service for our customers. The benefits of using a mining farm is that customers can monitor and mine remotely and safely, at a cheaper electricity rate. A Mining Farm is a great option if you don’t have the room in your house or apartment or are looking to expand the number of miners you operate. The crypto payments go directly into your account.

Cryptocurrency mining has quickly become one of the most lucrative and innovative sectors of the global economy. Bitcoin had a price of zero when it was introduced in 2009. Since that time, the popularity and acceptance of cryptocurrencies has grown exponentially. In 2016-17 when Bitcoin saw its first major price increase, the average daily revenue of the crypto mining industry circulated at around $1 million. According to current reports, crypto mining has now generated over $3 billion in revenue, an increase by almost 10,000%. The worldwide crypto mining hardware industry is also anticipated to expand to more than $2.8 billion in the next couple years.

Fueled by the potential for profitability, demand and price have increased for mining equipment. Choosing a reputable supplier, like BT-Miners, is now more important than ever. Unfortunately cheap mining equipment has become a too common scam. Beware of deals that seem “too good to be true”.

To help calculate your Miner Profitability, we have compiled the the current pricing for the leading crypto mining equipment with hash rate and power usage of each device to help you make your miner decision. Because the exchange rate between crypto currencies such as Bitcoin and fiat currencies tends to fluctuate greatly, profit potential can vary depending on if you hold your crypto and cash in when prices rise or cash out quickly as mining occurs. Profit will also depend on other factors such as your electricity costs (you are able to change the cost per kilowatt hour (kWh) depending on your costs with your utility provider) or mining pool fees. If you need help in selecting a mining rig that is right for you, please contact BT-Miners for assistance and additional information.

Random X is a Proof-of-work algorithm designed to be ASIC-resistant, such design to be ASIC-resistant by using random code execution. Essentially, Random X is designed to be optimized for general-purpose CPUs.  To clarify, Monero mining is more efficient in CPUs. Some of the Monero mining wallets include the XMR wallet, Kraken, Ledger, and old classic Binance wallet. In case you are hunting for a Monero coin miner, BT-Miners would highly recommend  Antminer X5.

1. Network setup.

Most power-intensive ASIC miners do require an ethernet cable for connection. download an IP Scanner app on your computer first.

2. Locate Your Miner IP Address

Once connected, open a web browser Enter the miner’s IP address in the address bar. The default login credentials are often username “root” with password “root”.

3. Basic Configuration:

Username: your username.Worker1
Password: x
Server: stratum+tcp://pool.example.com:3333

Enter customized personal information as shown above. Please make sure that you choose a strong password. Configure your network settings Set up temperature and fan speed thresholds Update the miner’s firmware if needed

4. Pool Configuration: Choose a reputable mining pool like Slush Pool, F2Pool, or Antpool.Your Bitcoin wallet address for receiving rewards Monitoring: Set up monitoring alerts for temperature and hash rate Configure backup pools in case the primary pool goes down Monitor power consumption and efficiency.
