Claymore is one of the most efficient and convenient miners to date, which is why it won the general recognition of miners. It has two work modes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Great, but some part of your reward goes to the Claymore developer<\/li>\n<li>Good, but you don\u2019t pay anything to Claymore<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We won\u2019t go into detail here \u2014 the first option is better, trust us on that, so let\u2019s move on.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/2bitcoins.ru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/103_2.png\" width=\"618\" height=\"268\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>How to Set Up and Download Claymore<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>You can download the latest Claymore version at any time in the Bitcointalk forum thread: <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcointalk.org\/index.php?topic=1433925.0\">bitcointalk.org\/index.php?topic=1433925.0<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Unpack the archive anywhere on your computer.<\/p>\n<p>In the folder that contains the miner, you should create a file with .bat extension. You can do this in any text editor (for example, Notepad). When you save the file, it\u2019s important to choose \u2018All Files\u2019 as a file type, not \u2018txt\u2019. Otherwise, you\u2019ll have<strong> .bat.txt <\/strong>at the end of the file name, and miner won\u2019t be able to open this file. Your bat file (let\u2019s say it\u2019s called test.bat) should contain the following text:<\/p>\n<pre>setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0\r\nsetx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100\r\nsetx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1\r\nsetx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100\r\nsetx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100\r\nEthDcrMiner64.exe -epool eth.2miners.com:2020 -eworker RIG_NAME -ewal WALLET_ADDRESS -epsw x<\/pre>\n<p>WALLET_ADDRESS can be found in your wallet.

You can check statistics on the pool by typing your WALLET_ADDRESS in the search field at the top.<\/p>\n<p><em>Attention! For security reasons, Windows may stop you from opening the bat file. In this case, you should permit it to open in the pop-up window. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-774\" src=\"https:\/\/2miners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/ethmining.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1348\" height=\"864\" data-wp-pid=\"774\" srcset=\"https:\/\/2miners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/ethmining.png 1348w, https:\/\/2miners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/ethmining-300x192.png 300w, https:\/\/2miners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/ethmining-768x492.png 768w, https:\/\/2miners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/ethmining-1024x656.png 1024w, https:\/\/2miners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/ethmining-800x513.png 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1348px) 100vw, 1348px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>How to Start Ethereum Mining from Scratch<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>On 2Miners, there is a Quick Start option that has everything you need \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/11R0L-QgOHnzZ5JfxidH2KPYj1PFEeqDY\/view?usp=sharing\">download ready to go version of Claymore&#8217;s Miner (archive password &#8211; 2miners)<\/a> and launch \/ETHASH\/eth-pool.bat.<\/p>\n<p>TL;DR If you don\u2019t want to read the whole article, then the last option is for you.
