Claymore Dual Miner & Ethereum/altcoin guide

Here is a “start.bat” file for windows users. It serves as an example of many command line args, and gives meaningful variable names for the parameters so you don’t have to constantly refer to the command line docs.

NOTE: It over-writes the epool and dpool files, but doesn’t touch your config file.

It’s currently configured for 2 gpu cards and enables dual mining for the alt coin of your choosing. As configured, it uses NiceHash for the pools which requires no user account and pays in BTC. Also, NiceHash has an ultra simple GUI for a beginner to start. This bat file uses the same pools, so it’s a good weaning away from the GUI without getting too scary. It also allows you to use the NiceHash web site to see all your stats.

Linux users might want to look at it as a quick-start of what syntax to use for pools and command line args.

Claymore’s readme was a bit too much to chomp in the first bite, so hopefully this will help someone and be useful in some way.

It will run as-is, but you’ll be mining for my BTC account, so change that variable to your own BTC address unless you want to play Santa (which is appreciated, but maybe L1T has a BTC you could use?).

I tried to upload it as a file, but the forum wasn’t having it, so here’s a dropbox link – I hope.

Example start.bat for Claymore’s dual Etherium miner.
