How to start mining?

    I have 3 mining rigs that I'n using for Etherum right now, I'd like to know how i can start to mine Sia with them. Can someone give me a step by step? Thanks.

    @Agent412 download the SIA wallet, unlock it, and run either gominer or the GPU miner from sia.tech/apps, if you aren't using the Go miner you have to set .bat files for each individual GPU. if you have R7 370s it might be best to stick with ETH because they don't hash as proportionally, but you're welcome to try.

    I think if you're having hang ups with getting the wallet working you can either download the UI version, like 0.5.2 or something like that or wait till ~june 28th and wait for the new UI 1.0.

    Also the difficulty is pretty high at this point, I've heard of people with 50+GH/s only getting about a block every few days instead of 2+ a day, which is unlucky, but it exemplifies the variance since there are no pools yet, however, they are in the works and we should expect to see one soon. (maybe a week maybe a month, something in between?)

    also if you do use the 0.5.2 UI, you may want to look into it, I briefly read that there's some compatibility issues with the 0.6.0 version, not sure if that's strictly hosting or blockchain as well.

    I think Agent412 is talking about mining on WINDOWS...???
    And correct me if I'm wrong but the official miner works only on Linux

    @poorleno official miner works well on Windows. There is no official build of Gominer for Windows, however.
