How Do You Set Up Nanominer for Ethereum?

Nanominer is an easy-to-use, highly optimized cryptocurrency miner that supports mining Ethereum. It can be used on Windows, Linux, and MacOS.

This guide will show you how to set up Nanominer for Ethereum mining on Windows.

Before you begin, you will need to have the following:

An Ethereum wallet

A computer with an internet connection

A graphics card with at least 4GB of RAM (Nvidia GTX 1060 or AMD RX 580)

An Ethereum mining pool account

Nanominer downloaded and extracted to a folder on your computer

Once you have all of the above, you are ready to start mining Ethereum with Nanominer.

1) Open the Nanominer folder on your computer and double click on “start.bat” to launch the miner.

2) A console window will open and Nanominer will start loading the DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph) file for Ethereum. This may take a few minutes. Once it is done, you will see the following screen:

3) Enter your Ethereum wallet address in the “Wallet” field. You can also specify a mining pool address if you want to mine in a pool.

If you want to solo mine, leave the “Pool” field blank. For this guide, we will be solo mining so we will leave it blank.

NOTE: WARNING: Nanominer is a complex mining software that requires advanced computer knowledge and experience. If you are unfamiliar with mining software, it is highly recommended that you do not attempt to set up Nanominer for Ethereum without the assistance of an experienced miner or computer professional. Improper installation and configuration of Nanominer could lead to hardware damage, data loss, and other unforeseen issues.

4) In the “Benchmark” field, enter “0” (without quotes). This will benchmark your graphics card and determine the optimal settings for it.

Depending on your graphics card, this may take a few minutes. Once it is done, you will see a message that says “Benchmark completed” as well as your card’s hashrate in MH/s (megahashes per second).

5) Now that the benchmark is complete, we can start mining! Enter “1” in the “Start Mining” field and press Enter. You should see Nanominer start mining for Ethereum!

6) To view your current hashrate, press “s” on your keyboard while Nanominer is running. You can also view other statistics such as your pending balance and total number of shares submitted by pressing “p” on your keyboard.

To exit stats mode, press “p” again.

7) To exit Nanominer, press “q” on your keyboard. You will be prompted to confirm that you want to exit; press y and then Enter to confirm.

That’s it! You are now mining Ethereum with Nanominer!.
