Build your own mining rig

Getting started with crypto mining
Want in on the crypto mining craze?
You ask, is my video card capable of any earnings over the power requirements?
The best cards for mining are the new Nvidia RTX 3000 series. The RTX 2000 series can still perform well. For example the RTX 2080ti has the same hashing power as an RTX 3070.
First you'll need somewhere to deposit the crypto that you earn.
I recommend Coinbase for getting started.
My coinbase referral link is https://tinyurl.com/nu92zsmy
If you purchase 100$ worth of bitcoin, we both get 10$ in bitcoin. Instant 10% return!
Betterhash is extremely simplified to use and it's what you should start with if you're going to mine on a Windows machine.
Before you download and install betterhash, you'll need to create a folder to install it to, that you can exclude from your virus scanner. I recommend using something simple like C:\mining\ and then follow the instructions for your particular software to exclude this folder and any of it's contents. Antivirus software is trained to detect and stop these applications from running in the background without your knowledge.

Download it to the folder you excluded, then install to the same folder.
Once it starts up it will download the necessary executables and run a test on your hardware to fine the most profitable crypto to mine.
If this is a PC you're going to use a lot, then I would disable any CPU mining, and only use your GPU.
For setting up the bitcoin deposits, you'll want to use the email address you used to create your coinbase account with.
Can I still game and use my PC? Yes you can, your gaming will take priority over hashing, and mining will just earn less rewards while you're gaming.
