Hey there, in this tutorial I'll be teaching you how to mine LBC, or, LBRY Credits, which is one of if not the most profitable cryptocurrency you can mine with Nvidia GPUs. On average I mine with 1200MH/s which at the time of this posting is $8.909 USD, pretty good profit margins right? If you're curious about the hardware I'm using that lets me get 1200MH/s it's 2 GTX 1080s, and my GTX 1080 Ti gaming card. I used to do a lot of gaming, however due to a career change which has resulted in a drastically increased workload I don't have much time to game anymore, so whenever I'm not gaming I let my 1080 Ti put in some work. Now lets start with the tutorial.
Requirements
- Nvidia GPUs (you could mine with AMD, but you'd be better off mining ETH with AMD hardware)
- A suprnova.cc account (https://lbry.suprnova.cc/index.php?page=login)
- ccminer-x64 (https://github.com/tpruvot/ccminer/releases)
Step 0 - Download and extract ccminer-x64
Download, and extract ccminer-x64. Do note that when running this program your Antivirus software may flag it as having a virus, so you should whitelist/exclude the miner program from being flagged as having a virus.
Step 1 - Log onto suprnova and create worker
After logging onto suprnova, navigate to My Account > My Workers, and then create a a worker using the "Add New Worker" function.
Step 2 - Open up powershell
Now we'll want to open up powershell, and navigate inside of the ccminer folder. For example, if you extract it to your Downloads folder you would use the following command
cd C:\Users\yourname\Downloads\ccminer-2.1-tribus
Step 3 - Construct the command needed to mine with suprnova and execute
Use the following command template to build the command you will use to mine with suprnova.
.\ccminer-x64.exe --algo=lbry --url=stratum+tcp://lbry.suprnova.cc:6265 -u weblogin.workerlogin -p worker_password
Note:
- Replace weblogin with your username that you use to log onto suprnova
- Replace workerlogin with the username of the worker you created
- Replace worker_password with the password of the worker you created
Options:
- --intensity=X where X>10 but X<25 i have however been able to raise intensity to 28
- --devices x,y where X and Y are the device ID's of your GPUs.
- This is useful if you have multiple GPUs and only want to mine with some of them.
Step 4 - Reap the rewards!
If you see text similar to the following picture you've done it, and are now mining LBC! Sit back, relax, and reap the rewards.
