hey everyone and welcome back to
another mining chamber video in today's video i'm going to walk
you through how to use nb miner we're going to first go through a quick
setup so you guys can get going right away and then we're going to get into more details
and how you should download it and all that information that you need to know so now let's go
ahead and get into the video right after the intro first we're going to start off with the overview
on nb miner if you guys want to jump to a specific point of this video feel free to look in the
descriptions below everything will be time stamped below so nb miner is a cryptocurrency
miner that can be running on windows or a linux based mining operating system if they support it
so the coins that you can mine with nb miner are all these coins that are mentioned right here or
in general any coin that follows these algorithms that are showing on this table so there's a vast
majority of the popular coins that you can mine here including ethereum raven coin and then coin
flux as well you can also mine ethereum classic and multiple other coins in these algorithms here
so as for the developer fee the fees on this miner you'll be paying one percent if you're mining
ethereum or ethereum classic so anything on ether or atc hash will take from you one percent and
then for raven coin you guys can see here on kapow you will be paying two percent and on octopus
which is cone flux you will be paying three percent you also have the other algorithms in
here with their percentage as well so just keep that in mind when you're using this miner now nb
miner supports the vast majority of the gpus so usually you won't have any troubles trying to
use it on newer hardware or older hardware but you can come back here and double check so this
will all be in the readme section of the nb miner i will leave the links for all this in the
descriptions below so here you guys can see different algorithms as well as the coins
and then the compute compatibility so this applies to nvidia cards although i was not able
to find amd cards compatibility so to look at these compute compatibility you just want to look
for the number here and then you can go to this compute compatibility reference link and then from
there you guys will find the number and then with the gpus that are included in that number so for
example for the rtx 3000 series they are on the 8.6 so if we go back here you'll see that 8.6
is supported on almost all the algorithms now as for the vram i don't think this is updated
since in ethereum now you do need more than 4 gigabytes to mine ethereum so just follow the vram
information based on the dac size of the coin that you're trying to mine now to download this miner
you want to go to releases and then from releases you can download the latest one so you guys can
see here there's different versions and then if you go lower you'll find the older versions
with all the fixes they added so in the time of this video the latest one is 36.1 so you guys can
download the most recent version if it's different than this one now if you scroll down a little
bit you will find here the assets for this miner and then you have here the linux installation as
well as the windows installation and then where it says dot shot 256 that is the check sums for the
miner so we will compare those later on after we install the miner and then you have all the source
code in here as well so it's an open source miner which gives it credibility and it makes it secure
for yourself to use it for mining so now since we're on windows and we're going to test it on
windows i'm going to install this nb miner 36.1 winzip if you're on hiveos or any mining specific
operating system you won't have to do anything you'll just find it in the list of miners and you
can use it directly from there so to download it just click on the zip file and then you can save
it anywhere you want but just remember that your antivirus might flag it as a virus and then you'll
just have to whitelist it from your antivirus now what i did is i just have a folder named
miners in my desktop and then that folder i have it whitelisted from windows defender so that every
time i install a miner in there it doesn't delete it for me right away thinking it's a virus it's
all just false flags so don't worry about them at all now if you have no idea how to do that i have
a video on mining on your pc and then i go into it with details in that video i will leave the link
for that video in the descriptions below so now let's go ahead and save it here and then after
we save it here you guys can see on the bottom left i got a dangerous so brave has blocked it now
this is normal like i said it's just a false flag and all you need to do is you want to click on
show all and then on show all you want to go ahead and hit on keep dangerous file so after that
you will see that it finished installing and then you can do show in folder and then you'll be able
to find the miner in your folder so now the first thing you want to do before extracting your miner
you want to make sure it's an authentic version of nb miner like we've seen recently with the
news that phoenix miner was recently compromised so please make sure to do this step just to make
sure that you have an authentic version of the miner and it matches the checksums which is like a
fingerprint for the folder of the miner to do that all you will need to do is go ahead and open up
the command prompt to open up a cmd and then from there you can go ahead and navigate to the miners
folder so if you have no idea how to navigate in command prompt you can look it up it's not
really that complicated i will give you a simple explanation here so you just want to do cd to
change directory and then from there you want to go to wherever this miner is so now i'm currently
in my so canon user and then in that user i have downloads documents and all these folders right
here so i want to go to desktop so i would say cd desktop and then from there i can just hit enter
and that will put me in the desktop folder so now after the desktop folder i have my miners folder
so now i need to go to cd and then miners and after that i am in the folder where i have nb
miner installed so i can go ahead and type out dir which will show all the stuff that's in this
folder so here i have nb miner 36.1 win.zip so now i want to make sure that this is authentic through
the checksums and to do that all you need to do is type out cert util and then dash hash file and
then you want to put the name of that folder so what you can do is just type out nb and then hit
tab it should automatically fill it out for you just make sure that it's the zip and then after
the zip you want to go ahead and say the algorithm so you want to say sha 256 and the reason that
we're saying shot 256 is because here at nb minor they have the shot 256 one so we can go ahead and
hit enter and then you guys will see here there's a long string that comes out and that string will
be in this file right here so i'm going to install this file as well now and then i can go ahead
and save this to the same folder and now after you save it you just want to go ahead and do open
with and then select notepad and open this file with notepad so now once you have that open you
will see here a string and then the matching zip file so if we go back to our command prompt we can
compare them and then they are matching exactly the same so that means that the nb miner that we
have is authentic and we're good to go so now i'm going to go ahead and delete this shot 256 file
and then i'm going to extract nb miner within my miners folder and now here we have the extracted
folder so usually what i like to do when i install any miner i don't like to have to click on
two different folders to reach the items so what i will do is i will just drag all these files in
here back to the other folder the first folder and then like that i can go ahead and delete the
second folder so now once i open up nb miner 36.1 i don't have to open up two different folders to
reach the files for the miner so that's for the installation of the miner and now you're all set
and you have that miner installed on your system securely without any issues or anything you need
to worry about so now the first thing i want to go over after installing the miner is showing you
guys a quick start to get going right away without any extra information and then after that we're
jumping into details with this miner and talking about different commands that can help you out
later on so let's go ahead and get started with the quick start so the first thing you're going to
see when you download your folder for nbminer you will see all these different files right here so
all these are different batch files and they all say start and then the coin so here you have start
adc start eth and the o follows simple principle so all you need to do is just go ahead right click
on it and then do edit and then you might get this pop-up right here just do one more info and then
run anyways and then after that you will see some information like this now when you're here all
you need to do is change the address here for your own wallet address now if you don't know
how to get a wallet address you guys can come to miningchamber.com platforms and then here you will
find some wallets that i do like and i use so you guys can't download any of those and then get your
ethereum address from there so since this is for start eath then you will be putting your ethereum
address here and then you're also going to be changing the pool based on what works best for
you so there's multiple different pools out there you guys can use ethermine it's a good choice and
then just put the server that's close to you and the port number and then you're all set after that
you just close this file make sure that you save it first and then you run that file you don't need
to run it as an administrator because you're not doing any overclocks there so you can just double
left click on it and then it will start kicking in and start mining for you so that also applies for
all these other ones so if you go for raven coin for example if you have a four gigabyte card you
just go ahead hit edit and then same thing run anyways and after that change the raven address
and then the raven pool and that's all you need to do to get started super quickly now if you
want to learn more about the different commands please stick around and then we're going to go
into details on all these commands so that you can learn how to use these miners efficiently so now
that we covered a quick start let's go ahead and jump into details with the commands so there is
a huge list of commands but we're not going to go over all of them i'm just going to pick the ones
that i think are very important to know so the first one i want to start off with is dash a and
that's the first command in your script so dash a or dash dash algo and what that does is selects
your mining algorithm so if you're mining ethereum you would do dash a e and then that would be the
ethereum algorithm so eth and if you're mining ravencoin or anything like that you would select
a specific algorithm that that coin runs on so it's a fairly simple command and you guys will be
able to find all the algorithms that supports it in the requirements list here and then one other
command that goes hand by hand with this one is for example let's say ethas when ethereum classic
used to also be on ethash and now it has its own algorithm which is etc hash so back then when
there was ethereum and ethereum classic running on the same algorithm you would have to use the
command dash dash coin so dash dash coin would set a coin for ether algo whether it's eth or etc
so if you wanted to an ethereum classic you would do dash dash coin etc and the default is ethereum
but now since ethereum classic is not in ethash anymore you guys don't need to worry about this
command if you're trying to mine ethereum classic all you need to do is just change that algorithm
to etc hash now they don't mention etc hash here in the algorithms but you guys can give
it a try and see if it works out for you now if using the etc hash method doesn't work
you can try doing eth and then dash dash coin and ethereum classic so after dash a and dash
dash coin the next important command to know is dash o or dash dash url so what that does is
basically specifies your mining pool url you guys can select any mining pool you want i have a
full video on mining pools so if you have no idea how mining pools work feel free to check out that
video the link will be in the descriptions below and with the dash 0 there is also dash 01 or
02 and what that does is you specify a backup mining pool so if mining pool number 1 goes down
mining pool number 2 will kick in and then etc the maximum that you can specify is three pools so you
have dash o and then dash 01 and dash o2 so after the mining pools you have your user and your user
is your wallet address so here you see the isu or dash dash user and this is usually your wallet
address now in some scenarios you would make a username and password with your mining pool and in
that case you can use your username and password but most of the time all you need to do is just
put your wallet address if you don't have a username and password with the mining pool that
you're trying to mine to and this also goes back to u1 and u2 so you can have backup users for your
backup pools now the next important command would be dash d or dash dash devices and what that does
is basically you specify the gpus that you want to use for mining so let's say you have two gpus in
your mining rig you can do dash d0 and then that would select only the first gpu that's on your
mining rig that also goes with your main pc so if you're trying to mine with just one gpu you can
do dash d0 and then you would select the first gpu or you can do dash d1 and that would select the
second gpu now note that it starts from zero so the counting would start zero one two three and
that would be for the first four gpus so just keep that in mind when you're trying to disable
one of your gpus just like the devices command there is also the dash dash platform command and
what that does is it chooses for your platform so whether it's nvidia or amd now the default is
both of them but you can do one to choose nvidia cards only and you can do number two to choose amd
cards only meaning that if you do one you'll only be mining with your nvidia cards and if you do two
you'll only be mining with your amd cards and then there's also the dash dash feed command and then
this command basically changes the percentage of your fee for the miner so you can set it to zero
to turn off your dev fee or you can keep it the way it is and not change anything the only thing
about this is if you do set it to zero it reduces your performance now i'm not sure exactly what
comes out to be more profitable either turning off the defeat or lowering your performance but
honestly i would say just keep it on and then use it the way it is if you want to give it a test and
turn off your death fee then feel free to do that and another really useful command is temperature
limit temperature limit sets a limit for your gpu in celsius and if that exceeds it will stop the
gpu for 10 seconds so that means if your card is overheating it will stop mining for 10 seconds
so it cools down a little bit and then it will kick back in and now the last command i want
to cover is dash dash mt or dash dash memory tweak so what that does is basically modifies
your nvidia cards memory specifically the 1080 and 1080 ti so before with the 1080s and 1080tis
you have to run the pill before running the miner which would increase your hash rate up to 40 or
45 mega hash but now you can do it through this command instead so this command ranges from 1
to 6 so that means you can do mt and then 1 or mte2 and keep going until 6 so you can try all
of these numbers and see which one works best for your gpu the one that gives you the highest hash
rate will be the better one for your gpu now that is it for the commands for nb miner we covered the
most important ones that i think you guys should know if you guys have any other commands that
you think people should know please leave it in the comments below and then from there everybody
can read it and learn from it so now that we've covered the commands let me tell you guys a couple
of things that you can do with this miner as well so first you can monitor your rig through the
web monitor using your port number and if you are a developer you can also use this to build on
it applications now i'm not going to get into this in this video but this is just something that you
can keep in mind or go more into details with it if you are more technical and there are also the
config files that you can run which will save your settings and then from there you can open it in a
different computer that's also a good choice to do but with how simple the bat files are in nb miner
you don't really need to worry about that as well so now before i wrap up the video let me give
you guys my conclusion on nb minor i think it's a pretty good miner it does come at a one percent
fee for eth which is a bit high so comparing to phoenix miner which has point sixty five percent
fee it is considered a bit higher but all around nb miner is not a bad choice at all if you're
looking for a simple nfs mining software for amd and video together now one of the things i wish nb
miner had is being able to overclock through the command line arguments that would be pretty nice
so you can just put your overclocks in nb miner and then it will automatically apply them as soon
as you run the minor we can do that in phoenix minor but not in nb minor so hopefully eventually
they will apply it to here that is unless i missed it and i didn't figure out how to do it so if
you guys know a way to apply your overclocks with nbminer please let me know in the comments
below now that wraps up the video guys i hope you enjoyed this video if you have any questions
or feedback let me know in the comments below now the next mining softwares i'm going to be covering
are team redminer as well as t-rex miner so if you haven't subscribed yet make sure to subscribe so
you can get notified when these come out and drop a like on this video if you guys enjoyed it thank
you again and i hope you have a wonderful day you
