Hello !
Since this is my first post in this community ,i would like to salute all members of this forum.
I am fairly new to cripto and started trading on cex like 2 months ago.Since then i got more and more interested in this complex domain so that i would also like to start mining eth.I started a couple days ago by searching information on how to begin mining and did come upon this guide here:
http://forum.ethereum.org/discussion/5592/how-to-mine-get-started-fast-and-easy-for-windows-7-detailed-guide/p1I did followed it threw and was fairly successful with it till i reached the part when i execute the nanopool.bat in order to grab the dag.
Everytime i run the nanopool.bat this error appears.
what could be the reason for it?
Comments
is it the dedicated video memory that the miner uses ?
If so should i buy a new graphics card?Would this stop the error from appearing again?
what video card would be a good option with a good hash rate/consumption ratio?
i tried searching for amd RX 480/580 in the stores in my country , but as others have said already they are everywhere out of stock.Is the next best thing the geforce gtx 1070/1080?
As far as cards to use, I guess that depends on what you can find. The 1060, 1070, and 1080 will give you good hash, but I don't think the price difference between the 1060 and the 1080 is worth the extra couple M/s. Right now all cards are out of stock just about everywhere and the ones in stock are expensive.
I just checked .My graphics card is caped at 2 gb vram and i can not increase it any further so it seems i will have to gather some info about building a basic rig from scratch.
