Mining coins

It is better to get BCD on green cards. Nvidia products are more productive than AMD, based on x-algorithms. Including x13where bitcoin diamond mining takes place.

What is the hashrate of Nvidia and AMD cards on the x13 algorithm

Here is a comparative table of bcd coin mining performance on popular GPUs.

The hash rates of GPU devices are available on the WhatoMine service. If the model is not in the list, set up and start bitcoin diamond mining, press the key h and the command prompt window will display your miner’s speed.

How to choose a wallet for mining.

Local bitcoin diamond wallet can be downloaded from the official website.

Never download mining applications from unverified sources, catch a virus or hidden miner… The diamond bitcoin network has an interesting option “BCD PAY INTERNATIONAL MARKETPLACE“. it online storewhere you can pay with a bitcoin diamond wallet.

GPU overclocking options in the program MSI Afterburner the same as when mining on the Ethash algorithm. Red cards do not set the Memory Clock parameter higher than 2000, the hash rate will not increase, but there may be interruptions in the work of the GPU farm.

Bitcoin diamond mining on Nvidia video cards, the following utilities are suitable:

• CryptoDredge;
• t-rex;
• zealot/enemy;
• ccminer.

Before mining the bitcoin diamond, install the Microsoft Visual C ++ 2015 package.

AMD GPUs mining diamond bitcoin with software WildRig… Downloading utilities for mining is available on the pages bitcoin diamond bitcointalk online forum, as well as on the GitHub service.

Bat file configuration for

1. Nvidia (miner t-rex)

@echo off

:start

t-rex -a bcd -o stratum+tcp://mine.icemining.ca:8433 -u ADDRESS -p c=BCD -i 20

goto start

AMD (WildRig Miner)

@echo off

:loop

wildrig.exe —print-full —algo bcd —opencl-threads auto —opencl-launch auto —url stratum+tcp://stratum.icemining.ca:8433 —user ADDRESS —pass c=BCD

timeout /t 5

goto loop

Copy the sample to the Windows application “Notebook“, Enter the address of your wallet and save the file with the bat extension. If the t-rex program fails, gradually decrease the intensity (-i 20) until you stabilize the process.

BCD mining on budget GPUs like Nvidia GTX 1050Ti is not profitable.

The profitability of mining, what you need to know

During the period of the cryptocurrency fever, the cost of diamond bitcoin reached $ 147, now the exchange rate is lower.

The profitability of mining is determined by the following factors:

• cryptocurrency price;
• the difficulty of mining;
• cost and energy intensity of equipment;
• electricity tariffs;
• payment system and pool commission.

The mining of cryptocurrencies has become a serious incentive for the modernization of graphics accelerators. Older video cards, for example, AMD Radeon R390, were not inferior in mining speed to modern Rx series models, but they consumed too much electricity. To provide a 24/7 warranty period, manufacturers were forced to improve the cooling system for GPU devices.

Online calculators will help you calculate the approximate amount of earnings, WhatTomine and CrytoCoins… Many pools have their own cryptocurrency mining profitability calculators. When calculating the benefits, one should take into account not only the short-term income, but also the long-term perspective. In this regard, the extraction of virtual money has great potential.
