[AMD & nVidia] How to mine CropCoin (CROP) ?
What is Cropcoin?
How to mine Cropcoin on a mining pool ?
1. Create a wallet address
You'll need a wallet to receive the Cropcoins mined. It is better to download the official wallet according to your Operating System. There is another crappy quick and dirty method that we don't recommend: create a wallet address on an exchange but many exchange diagree and may lost some coins.
Please refer to the Wallets section of the official bitcointalk thread:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2863802.0
Or use the official github repository:
https://github.com/Cropdev/CropDev
[nVidia] 2. Miner for nVidia cards (neoscrypt)
For nVidia cards, we suggest you to last version of CCminer : https://github.com/tpruvot/ccminer/releases
For GTX 1080/1080 Ti, ccminer will work but hashrate may be increased with https://github.com/alexis78/ccminer or https://github.com/KlausT/ccminer/releases or https://github.com/palginpav/ccminer/releases
For AMD cards, see here below.
Remark: some anti-virus and anti-malware may detect the miner as a virus. It is due to the fact that miners were integrated in malwares and virusses so some anti-virus detect the miner as a potentially dangerous component. We use these binaries since years: we've never encounter problems because we avoid to download any binaries and always use the offial binary release on bitcointalk or github.
[nVidia] 3. Configure ccminer batch file and launch it
3.1 Create a new launch file ("mine CROP on unimining.bat" using notepad or notepad++ under windows) and paste the following command into it:
-a neoscrypt : set the algorithm
-o stratum+tcp://neoscrypt.eu1.unimining.net:4243 : set the mining pool URL and stratum port (4243 for neoscrypt algo dedicated to CROP)
-u cGF85BJawu7hKPZ28HsC9fTccCfkaj1MkN : wallet address used as username. Please remove this example address and write your own address created at step 1
-p c=CROP : optional (password) parameters. -p is used to give the password related to the username. As mining is anonymous, the password is used to pass optional arguments. c=CROP is used to force YiiMP to mine CropCoin (CROP is the symbol defined on the pool for CropCoin) : YiiMP should detect the crypto-currency mined according to the wallet address but as coins are forks of other coins (and some don't adapt address' code), it doesn't always work as expected. So we recommand to always set the coin with at least the optional parameter c (ex: c=CROP).. stats is used to perform a benchmark of your GPU (first GPU on multi-GPU) on the 50st share. To add several parameter, seperate them by commas, e.g. -p c=CROP,stats to set the coin as Cropcoin and perform benchmark
--cpu-priority=3 : parameter used to set the cpu priority.
3.2 Launch the *.bat file and check wallets' page after 5 to 10 minutes.
[AMD] 2. Miner for AMD cards (neoscrypt)
For AMD cards, you can download Gateless Gate according to your Operating System:
Gateless Gate: https://github.com/zawawawa/gatelessgate/releases/
Only windows binaries are provided, you can download the source code and compile it if your OS is not Windows.
I also updated my AMD graphic cards drivers to "Crimson ReLive Edition 17.10.1 10/10/2017" but I didn't install the ReLive part.
Other miner application such as NSGminer can be used with AMD hardware but we were not able to use it (due to a special hardware configuration):
https://github.com/ghostlander/nsgminer/releases
[AMD] 3. Configure Gateless Gate config and batch files and launch it
3.1 Create a new launch file ("mine CROP on unimining.bat" using notepad or notepad++ under windows) and paste the following command into it:
"algorithm": "neoscrypt" : set the algorithm
"quota": "99;stratum+tcp://neoscrypt.eu1.unimining.net:4243" : set the mining pool URL and stratum port (4243 dedicated for CROP)
"user": "cGF85BJawu7hKPZ28HsC9fTccCfkaj1MkN" : wallet address used as username. Please remove this example address and write your own address created at step 1
"pass": "c=CROP" : optional (password) parameters. "pass" is used to give the password related to the username. As mining is anonymous, the password is used to pass optional arguments. c=CROP is used to force YiiMP to mine Cropcoin (CROP is the symbol defined on the pool for Cropcoin) : YiiMP should detect the crypto-currency mined according to the wallet address but as coins are forks of other coins (and some don't adapt address' code), it doesn't always work as expected. So we recommand to always set the coin with at least the optional parameter c (ex: c=CROP).. stats is used to perform a benchmark of your GPU (first GPU on multi-GPU) on the 50st share. To add several parameter, seperate them by commas, e.g. -p c=CROP,stats to set the coin as Cropcoin and perform benchmark (remark: stats should work with yiimp but I didn't test it with Gatelessgate).
Remark: Both files should be inside the directory of Gatelessgate.
3.3. Launch the *.bat file and check wallets' page after 5 to 10 minutes.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2863802.0Cropcoin is a next generation Cryptographic currency.Cropcoin provides significant security and scalability advantages over other Cryptocurrencies.Cropcoin is backed by a Powerful,transaprent and secure Network.Based on Total PoW and Masternodes Network,it ensures stable return of investment for miners and masternode holders.
We request the community to join us as developers,volunteers and investors seeking to enable a different paradigm for the Blockchain as a community.
Features
