The supposed removal of the LHR limiter was first posted on Reddit by user Timbers007, who says they made the discovery when they set their RTX 3080 Ti to start mining. Usually, the limiter would kick in whenever an RTX card was detected to be mining traditional algorithms like Etchash and Autolykos. That wasn’t the case anymore, after Timbers007 updated the card’s drivers to the most recent one.

For the uninitiated, NVIDIA first introduced the LHR limiter in its RTX 30 Series graphics cards back in 2021. At the time, the implementation was put in place in an effort to stem the graphics card shortage, brought about primarily by GPU miners that were buying the card en masse. In order to mine Ethereum, the second most valuable cryptocurrency in the market.

Performance-wise and without the LHR limiter in place, Timbers007 indicates with a screenshot that his card was averaging 112MH/s, which is more or less what a card like the RTX 3080 Ti is capable of achieving unlocked, especially on mining pools like NiceHash and NBMiner.

For YouTuber Rapid Mining, they showed that their RTX 3060 model – the one that shipped out with LHR – also showed signs of benefiting from the new drivers, with the GPU hitting a hashrate of 47MH/s which again, is what the card more or less hits when the limiter is disabled or bypassed.

One likely reason why NVIDIA has chosen now to remove the LHR limiter could be due to the recent shift of Ethereum from Proof-of-Work to Proof-of-Stake, also known as “The Merge”. Simply put, this move means that mining the digital coin is no longer profitable, as owners of the coin will now be required to put up their stake in the coin up as collateral.

Horwich (/ˈhɒrɪtʃ/ HORR-itch) is a town and civil parish in the Metropolitan Borough of Bolton, Greater Manchester, England. within the Historic County Boundaries of Lancashire, It is 5.3 miles (8.5 km) southeast of Chorley, 5.8 miles (9.3 km) northwest of Bolton and 15 miles (24 km) northwest of Manchester. It lies at the southern edge of the West Pennine Moors with the M61 motorway passing close to the south and west. At the 2011 Census, Horwich had a population of 20,067.

Horwich emerged in the Middle Ages as a hunting chase. Streams flowing from the moors were harnessed to provide power for bleachworks and other industry at the start of the Industrial Revolution. The textile industry became a major employer and after 1884 the construction of the railway works caused the population of the town to increase dramatically. The old industries have closed and urban regeneration has been led by out of town developments, particularly at Middlebrook, which, since 1997 has been the base of Bolton Wanderers football club, who play at the University of Bolton Stadium, having moved from Burnden Park near Bolton town centre.

The name Horwich derives from the Old English har and wice, meaning the place at the grey wych-elm and in 1221 was recorded as Horewic. The name was recorded as Harewych in 1277 and Horewyche in 1327.

Horwich grew from its original 'bridge point settlement' on the River Douglas at what is now Scholes Bank. By the Middle Ages Horwich was a hunting chase, after the Norman Conquest held by Albert de Gresle between 1086 and 1100. In 1277 Robert Gresle, Baron of Manchester prosecuted Martin de Rumworth for carrying off deer in Horwich Chase which was described in 1322 as being within "a circuit of sixteen leagues with a yearly value in pannage, aeries of eagles, herons and goshawks, in honey, millstones, and iron mines, in charcoal-burning, and the like issues, 60 shillings; of which the vesture in oaks, elms and wholly covered with such, 160 marks." In 1294 Thomas Gresle, sixth Baron of Manchester obtained free warren over "Horewich". The local enforcement of Forest Law was through a Bailiff who served the Lord of the Manor and it was he who decided punishments. Trespassers in the forest were brought before the Manorial Court Leet.

By the 16th century, subsequent to the reformation land ownership had shifted from Church to the crown and was then sold to new owners, who transformed the town into an agricultural economy, and forests were cleared. Many of the farms from the period still existed until the housing boom of the 19th and 20th centuries, like many Lancashire towns the cotton industry was prominent as at least a secondary occupation in many households, weaving became a widespread occupation, and industries like bleaching, dying and paper making grew from the use of water power with the towns preindustrial plentiful access to flowing water. The town continued this path until the arrival of the railway workshops in the 19th century.

In 1598 a number of men were presented at the court leet for tithing and in 1621 the court leet recorded "paid for hue and crye that came from Horwich after the man who made an escape forth of ye stocks for stealing certain lynen cloth 8d". The earliest map of Horwich is dated 1620 and is known as 'The Platt of Horwich', naming the landowner as Sir Thomas Barton, of the Barton family of Holme Hall in the manor of Holme Newark and Smithills Hall, Bolton. A plague pit is noted on the map, with victims of a 1623 outbreak, interred in a mass grave under what is now Lever Park Avenue. By the 17th century, the amount of woodland in the Horwich forest was reduced by house building and for fuel. Horwich Moor was enclosed between 1815 and 1818. Race meetings were held between 1837 and 1847 at the 'Old Lords estate', an area next to the Rivington border, named after 11th Baron Willoughby. Four Barons Willoughby of Parham are interred at Horwich Parish Church.

The manor became the property of the Andertons of Lostock Hall, Lostock, who purchased it in 1599 from Nicholas and Elizabeth Mosley. These lands were confiscated by The Crown in 1715 after the Battle of Preston. They were leased to the Blundells whose coat of arms is displayed above the door at the Blundell Arms on Chorley Old Road.

The Pilkington family were notable in the town's history, prior to the Ridgways. The town coat of arms incorporates the Pilkington Cross, in recognition of the founder of the Rivington and Blackrod High School, James Pilkington, Bishop of Durham and the prominent role in the local history of the family. Richard Pilkington, a leading non-conformist and owner of Horwich Manor, and his family feature in the town's history from the post Protectorate to the industrial revolution being benefactors and founders of a number of places of worship. Another William Pilkington (1765–1831) became a physician and apothecary in St Helens. It is this branch that links Horwich to the founders of Pilkington Glass, his sons being Richard (1795–1869) and William (1800–1872).

In the 1770s brothers, John and Joseph Ridgway, land agents to the Blundells, moved their bleach works from Bolton to Wallsuches. Their works was the oldest and one of the few stone-built mills in the Bolton borough. The firm was one of the earliest users of chemical bleaching using chlorine. In 1798 the firm installed a Boulton and Watt steam engine.

Horwich Vale Printworks, founded in 1799 by the River Douglas, printed cloth using machines and handblocks. On the slopes of Winter Hill, stone was quarried and there were several small collieries and a firebrick and tile works. In 1896 the Montcliffe Colliery was owned by Adam Mason and Son and managed by Joseph Crankshaw and Joseph Kenwright. It employed 26 men underground and seven surface workers getting coal and fireclay from the Mountain coal seam. Crankshaws pipeworks used the fireclay and had had several beehive kilns at their works at Tiger's Clough. In the mid-19th century, cotton mills were built by W. & W. Bennett and Peter Gaskell.

Ridgways provided land for the early 19th century Club Houses, a grid pattern development of streets of stone built cottages south of Church Street. Some had basements for hand loom weaving. In 1851 the occupants were crofters, stovers and bleachers.

In 1881 the population of 3,761 lived in 900 houses and had remained stable for fifty years, the arrival of the railway works and other industries including W.T. Taylor's cotton mill resulted in a considerable change to Horwich leading to a rapid increase in population, creating a boom in population by 1891 to 12,850 people, Horwich became a railway town in this period of the Industrial Revolution.

Coming with this increased population was a need for more houses, schools, and retail and service industries to provide for this new population. Large areas of former farmland was built on with the creation of vast numbers of brick terraced house streets of Victorian and Edwardian types of two-up two-down for the working class who had arrived from across Britain and Ireland, still used in the 21st century. Many new streets near Horwich Locomotive Works were named after famous engineers of the time. Local government in Horwich meets and is administered from a typical Victorian-style building which became known as Horwich Public Hall, a gift to the town by Peter Martin of The Street, Rivington in 1879 and still in use. The post-war years saw a boom in the builds of Council Houses.

In 1937 the de Havilland Aircraft Company built a factory that supplied aircraft to Cobham's Flying Circus. During World War II the factory manufactured variable pitch propellers for Spitfires, making it a target for German bombers, who in July 1942 attempted to raid the factory by employing some of Germany's best pilots and crews in two Junkers JU 88 bombers in a mission using the Rivington reservoirs as landmarks to navigate at low level flying over the water then rooftops of Lever Park to find its target. The raid went off course due to low clouds. The company was taken over by Hawker Siddeley and subsequently British Aerospace, the site was halved and moved to the south side of Hall lane Lostock when taken over by MBDA in 1997 it is still in 2013 making missiles and the site is now used for integration and test purposes. Horwich works was very active in armament production in the first and second world wars, in recognition George VI and his wife Queen Elizabeth visited the town in 1940.

In the period of the railway works from spring 1884 to 1983 Horwich changed drastically. The site first opened as the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway (L&YR) works, leading to a large complex for building and maintaining locomotives, the site replaced one at Miles Platting.

Horwich Works was built on 142 hectares of land bought for £36,000. The first workshop, Rivington House opened in February 1887. It is 106.7 metres long by 16.8 metres wide. The long brick built workshops had full-height arched windows and were separated by tram and rail tracks. Work to construct the three-bay, 463.3 metres long, 36 metres wide, erecting shop began in March 1885. Inside it were 20 overhead cranes. By November 1886 the first locomotives arrived at the works for repair.

The first Horwich built locomotive, Number 1008, left the works in 1887 and is preserved at the National Railway Museum.

In the First and Second World War, the works played a part in the war effort manufacturing tanks and munitions. The war led to women being employed in manufacturing at the site, but this did not continue in post-war years with occupational inequality persisting.

The L&YR amalgamated with the London and North Western Railway in 1922 becoming a constituent of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway, (LMS) in 1923.

Horwich Works continued to build and repair locomotives for the LMS until the company was nationalised in 1948 by the Transport Act 1947, becoming British Railways. In 1962, British Railways transferred control of its main works to British Railways Workshops Division, with its headquarters in Derby. In 1970 it was renamed British Rail Engineering Limited (BREL) and remained the towns most significant employer.

Production changed and the last steam locomotive built at Horwich Works left on 27 November 1957, after which the works produced shunting diesel trains until 28 December 1962. It was reduced to repairing engines and maintaining railway wagons. On 18 February 1983 BREL announced that the works would close at the end of the year. Protest marches and spirited trade union resistance failed to alter the decision and at 1 pm on Friday, 23 December 1983 Horwich Works closed after 97 years. The town went through a period of high unemployment afterward, The freehold of the railway works site was transferred from British Rail to Bolton Council in the mid-1990s.

A proposal to demolish the works and build 1,700 homes and a school was submitted to Bolton Council in early 2010. The initial phase of the development commenced in 2019.

Asbestos used to insulate steam engines and railway carriages linked to mesothelioma has been a legacy affecting former workers and their families with asbestos dust also being carried in clothing. The redevelopment of the site required it to be cleared of contaminants before building commenced. Part of the site is planned for demolition for the creation of a link road in 2019, linking the Middlebrook Retail Park, M61 and Horwich Railway Station.

With the closure of Horwich Locomotive Works and other heavy industries, the town went through a period of hardship until the development of the Middlebrook Retail Park and the arrival in the town of Bolton Wanderers Football Club, which revived the service and retail sectors, alongside this the town is now known for sub-urban residential accommodation with the benefit of access to the motorway and other transport links. The economic area is centered around the Middlebrook area, this is planned to expand with new industrial areas being built toward Blackrod.

Horwich was within the county boundaries of Lancashire from the 12th century and was a township in the historic ecclesiastical parish of Deane, in the Hundred of Salford. In 1837 Horwich joined with other townships and civil parishes to form the Bolton Poor Law Union and took joint responsibility for the administration and funding of the Poor Law in that area and built a workhouse in Farnworth. The Horwich Local board of health was established in 1872 and was superseded by Horwich Urban District of the administrative county of Lancashire in 1894. Under the Local Government Act 1972 Horwich Urban District was abolished in 1974 and its area became a successor parish of the newly created Metropolitan Borough of Bolton in Greater Manchester and was removed from the county of Lancashire.

On 9 January 1974 Horwich was granted a Town Charter by the Earl Marshal, giving Horwich the status of a town, a town council and the ability to elect a Mayor. An official coat of arms was granted and assigned on 6 December 1974 by the Earl Marshal.

Horwich is covered by two electoral Wards of the Bolton Metropolitan Borough Council, the Horwich South and Blackrod, and Horwich North Wards. Each Ward elects three councillors to the Metropolitan Borough Council. Horwich Town Council, formed in 1974, has eight Wards; Vale, Bridge, Lever Park, Church, Claypool, Brazley, Central and Fall Birch which elect 14 representatives to the Town Council.

Horwich is part of the Bolton West Constituency. Its Member of Parliament is Chris Green who won the parliamentary seat at the 2015 General Election.

Suburban localities in Horwich include Wallsuches and Middlebrook.

Horwich extends to 3,230 acres (13.1 km2) and measures 3 miles (4.8 km) from north to south and 2 miles (3.2 km) west to east. The River Douglas flowing in a south westerly direction forms part of its northern boundary. The landscape to the north is dominated by Winter Hill, Rivington Pike and the West Pennine Moors. The highest point is 1,475 feet (450 m) on the moors in the north from where the ground slopes down towards the south and west, where the lowest land is about 350 feet (110 m). On Wilders and Horwich Moors the underlying rock is Millstone Grit, and in the intermediate slopes are found the Lower Coal Measures of the Lancashire Coalfield. The Middle Coal Measures are found in the southwest of the township.

Red Moss, 1.5 km south of the town centre, is a 47.2 hectares (117 acres) Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs) which was designated in 1995 because of its biological interest. Red Moss is the best example of lowland raised mire in Greater Manchester and is one of 21 SSSIs in the area. The site is managed by the Wildlife Trust for Lancashire, Manchester and North Merseyside.

At the 2001 UK census, Horwich had a population of 19,312 of which 9,370 were male and 9,942 were female. The 2001 population density is lower than Bolton at 12.5 people per hectare compared to 18.7 in Bolton. At the 2011 UK census, Horwich's population increased to 20,067 of which 9,777 were male and 10,290 were female. The 2011 census recorded a total of 9,013 households, of which were 1,979 detached houses, 2,642 semi-detached houses, 3,254 terraced houses, 971 purpose-built flats, 160 other flats (including bedsits), and 7 caravans (or other mobile or temporary structure).

Until the late 18th century, Horwich was a small rural community. In 1774, it had a population of 305, comprising 156 females and 149 males. After 1780 the population increased as the Industrial Revolution brought changes to the town but remained constant until 1885 when the locomotive works were built more than trebling the population in ten years.

Many of Horwich's traditional industries, Horwich Works and W.T. Taylor's cotton mill closed in the late 20th century. Regeneration was led by the construction of the University of Bolton Stadium for Bolton Wanderers at Middebrook in 1995. The development which stretches into neighbouring Lostock, attracted industrial and commercial users including Hitachi, generating jobs to replace those lost in the old industries and the area is now dominated by small and medium enterprises. E.ON and RBS have set up offices close the University of Bolton stadium. Watson Steel Structures founded in 1933 and BAe's successor company, Matra BAe Dynamics operates from the Middlebrook area. Georgia Pacific has a paper manufacturing plant close to the University of Bolton Stadium. Halbro, manufacturers of sportswear and equipment for both codes of rugby, is based on Chorley New Road.

There are Tesco and Asda stores on the outskirts of town and Aldi and Iceland stores closer to the town centre. The Horwich indoor market building was closed and demolished in 2009, but the traditional town centre has many small, specialist shops and businesses, including a greengrocers, butchers, florist and gift shops. Free parking is available across the town and there is a post office and library in the town centre.

Public transport is co-ordinated by Transport for Greater Manchester. The nearest railway stations are at Blackrod and Horwich Parkway adjacent to the University of Bolton Stadium where there is a Park and Ride facility with trains to Bolton, Manchester and Preston. Blackrod station is nearer the town centre. The original Horwich railway station was closed in the Beeching cuts to passenger traffic on 27 September 1965, goods traffic continued until 1966, the line was fully closed in 1967.

Frequent buses operate between Horwich and Bolton. The 575 is operated by Arriva North West, with Arriva services terminating in Wigan. Stagecoach Lancashire provide service 125 between Preston and Bolton via Chorley and Adlington. Bus links to Middlebrook Retail Park are provided by Diamond Bus North West services 516 (Evening and Sunday services only), 517 and 518 which all between Horwich and Leigh via Westhoughton and Atherton. Service 576, which operates from Bolton to Wigan via the Middlebrook and Blackrod areas in Horwich also runs in the evenings.

Horwich is situated close to the motorway network with access at junction 6 of the M61 motorway. The A673 Bolton to Preston road passes through the town which is accessed by the B6226 and B5238.

Manchester Airport is 50 minutes by direct train from Horwich Parkway railway station.

The Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company built the Railway Mechanics Institute in 1888. It became the Technical College but has been demolished.

Horwich secondary school students years attend either Rivington and Blackrod High School, a Specialist Technology College which was originally the Rivington & Blackrod Grammar School on a site in Rivington close to the boundary with Horwich, or St Joseph's RC High School on Chorley New Road. The oldest school building is the old Horwich Parish School which was built as a National, Infant and Sunday School in 1793 and now used as a parish hall and is a Listed building. Horwich Parish Church of England Primary School occupies the listed premises built in 1832.

Our Lady's school was built in 1886 on Chorley New Road and Holy Family Primary School on Victoria Road in 1894. Holy Family was the first Lancashire County Council school to be granted aided status under the 1944 Education Act. The schools merged on the Victoria Road site as St. Mary's RC Primary School.

Prior to the reformation a chapel of ease existed dedicated to St Mary's Church in Deane. In 1565 the commissioners for "removing superstitious ornaments" took various idolatrous items from the chapel. The local population were forced by various means to conform to the Church of England and as with all other towns and villages across the country Catholicism was suppressed and it was not until 1886 when Father Hampson opened St Mary's Roman Catholic Church on Chorley New Road that the local Catholic population had a formal place of worship. The presbytery there was built by Father McGrath in 1906.

After the English Civil War, with the contrivance of the vicar of Deane, the Chapel of Horwich was used by nonconformists and in 1669 a conventicle, meeting of nonconformists, was reported at Horwich and the ringleaders were prosecuted. In 1672 a nonconformist service was held at Old Lord's Farm, the home of the puritan Major Thomas Willoughby, a soldier of the Protectorate of Oliver Cromwell, who later become 11th Baron Willoughby of Parham. In 1716 Bishop Gastrell of Chester recovered the chapel for the established church. The chapel was replaced in 1782 and rebuilt as Holy Trinity Church, a Commissioners' Church, in 1831. Until 1853 became a parish in its own right with Holy Trinity as the parish church. After the non conformists were ejected from Horwich Chapel, Richard Pilkington built "New Chapel" between 1716 and 1719. It was enlarged in 1805. In 1890 the Unitarian Free Church was built on Church Street. In the 18th and 19th centuries other nonconformist churches and chapels were built.

Lee Lane Congregational Church, founded in 1754, closed in 2005 and was converted into a flats. It was originally built in 1856 on the site of an earlier build known as Horwich Lee Chapel built in 1774 on the site of an earlier house, also owned by Thomas Willoughby and was used for meetings from 1682 by Presbyterian members splitting away from the Rivington Unitarian Chapel as its doctrine changed.

The Independent Methodist chapel in Lee Lane was built in 1867, Methodism had been practised from 1810. Primitive Methodists had a chapel on Horwich Moor and where a Baptist church was built in 1890.

Bolton Wanderers F.C. play at the University of Bolton Stadium having moved from Burnden Park near Bolton town centre in 1997. Indoor facilities for sports training and major racket sports tournaments are provided at Bolton Arena, which was used for badminton events in the 2002 Commonwealth Games.

Several of the town's sporting organisations have origins in the sport and social clubs of Horwich Locomotive Works. Horwich RMI Harriers and Athletic Club founded in 1924, is based at Middlebrook and participates in road, fell and cross country races, track and field athletics. Horwich Cycling Club was founded in 1934 as the Horwich Wheelers. It is involved in the organisation of the Horwich Carnival Road Races, held in the town centre. Horwich RMI Cricket Club was founded in 1892. The club plays in the Bolton Cricket League which it joined in 1934.

In March 1990, Horwich and Crowborough, East Sussex entered into a unique twinning arrangement when they became the first towns within the United Kingdom to sign a town twinning charter. It was signed by the Mayors of Horwich and Crowborough at a ceremony in the Public Hall, Horwich on 22 March 1990 and the Town Hall, Crowborough on 27 March 1990. On the 25th anniversary of the Town Twinning, in March 2015, the Mayor of Horwich, Cllr. Richard E W Silvester and the Mayor of Crowborough, Cllr. Ronald G Reed signed 25th Anniversary celebratory Town Twinning documents in Crowborough Town Hall on Tuesday 10 March 2015 and in Horwich Public Hall on Thursday 19 March 2015, to re-new the twinning agreement. Horwich Cycle Club members travelled down to Crowborough on Friday 15 May 2015 and cycled with members of Wealden Cycle Club over that weekend as part of the celebrations.

Since the inception of BTC, mining has become profitable because it is now a way to earn passively. Additionally, mining is the foundation of Proof-of-Work (PoW) and Proof-of-Stake (PoW) cryptocurrencies.

It is essential to know that early adopters of Bitcoin benefited from mining due to the low difficulty and rates involved. But these days, the crypto-market is saturated, and mining cryptocurrencies has become challenging to achieve.

Some cryptocurrencies allow solo mining, but a better way to mine is through mining pools. Nonetheless, this guide teaches you about Ethereum Classic mining and reputable mining pools you can use to mine ETC.

Also Read:• Ethereum Mining Pool• Ethereum Mining Software: 4 Best Options• How To Mine Ethereum? – All You Need To Know• What Is Ethereum Mining?

For those who don’t know, Ethereum Classic was is the original Ethereum blockchain that didn’t undergo the hard fork in 2016 after the DAO hack, in which millions of ETH was stolen. Some developers weren’t in favor of forking, while some were. However, those that weren’t in support viewed this as a breach of the “code is law” maxim. There resumed their operations on the unforked blockchain, which resulted in Ethereum Classic today.

Ethereum Classic cryptocurrency depends on mining, just like BTC and LTC that use PoW. It is also a decentralized and open-source platform. This means that anyone can participate in the creation of ETC tokens. Even though Ethereum Classic uses PoW, it hasn’t reached a high saturation or difficulty as seen on the Bitcoin network. Nonetheless, this makes Ethereum Classic mining a good return on investment option for miners.

Again, the tools used in Ethereum Classic mining are not as costly as in other cryptocurrencies, and you can set them up quickly.

It is possible to mine Ethereum Classic just like Ethereum itself since both of them use PoW. The good news is that it is not so difficult to mine Ethereum Classic due to GPUs and ASIC mining rigs.

An excellent place to about how profitable mining ETC coins is WhatToMine. ETC often features as one of the best digital assets to mine on the platform.

Mining Ethereum Classic through a pool is profitable today. But again, it is worth comparing the numbers at the time you read this article.

Ethereum Classic mining is still profitable if you believe in its potentials. Nonetheless, it is wise to mine this digital asset and send to your ETC wallet and sell it in the future at higher prices.

Both Ethereum Classic blockchain and Ethereum blockchain use the same mining algorithm because they use PoW. Both digital assets are mined using Ethash algorithm, but the only difference is the hash rate, the capacity of the threshold for breakeven mining, and rewards per block. It is also essential to note that you can find Ethereum Classic block much faster.

The information may be different when reading this, so it is better to compare the current knowledge on WhatToMine.

Miners secure blockchain networks, and they also help them become more decentralized. How do miners secure blockchain networks? They deploy computing power to process transactions and secure the network against 51% (double-spend) attacks.

An attacker needs to spend the same digital asset more than once for a double-spend attack to occur. The act also occurs when an attacker steals funds or spends what has already been spent on the blockchain network.

Double-spending usually occurs in smaller blockchain networks with little computing power or hash rate. It is easier to attack or double-spend by gathering more than half of the network’s total computing power.

To prevent double-spending on blockchain networks there is the need for a distributed network of miners. Ethereum Classic miners work together to detect valid transactions and disregard unverified ones. The incentives issued to miners help compensate and motivate them to continue mining to secure the blockchain network.

Mining Ethereum Classic involves the same process as you mine other PoW coins. There are certain things you need in mining Ethereum Classic. To begin with, you need a wallet to store your Ethereum Classic tokens. To keep your ETC tokens, you need an ETC wallet. For this article, we recommend Exodus Wallet or Cobo Wallet. It is essential to know that you can also use a hardware wallet to store your ETC tokens.

Furthermore, you will need hardware for mining.  Right now, the most popular hardware for Ethereum Classic mining is the GPU. CPUs are obsolete. You will need Nvidia graphics cards such as the 1080 and 1080i. Furthermore, you can also use AMD GPUs, but there are less potent for Ethereum Classic mining. Another thing that you need is a minimum of 4GB RAM, either dedicated video RAM or system RAM. The best setup is the one that has lots of GPUs such as Bitman Antminer E3, AMD VEGA 64, or AMD VEGA 56 when mining Ethereum Classic.

Furthermore, it would help if you also had mining software. The top-notch software miners that you can use are Claymore Dual Ethereum miner, GMiner, and NBMiner. These software miners support dual mining. Also and you can use both NVIDIA and AMD GPUs with them.

Another mining software that you can use is Ethminer. The Ethminer also allows you to use both NVIDIA and AMD GPUs. You need to know that this software supports both Windows and Linux devices.

For a more straightforward process, you can use MinerGate.  This software doesn’t need a setup requirement, and again, all you need to do is download it and let the software know which ETC address you want to send your ETC tokens to. Even though MinerGate is a bit straightforward, it offers the lowest ROI or profits.

Another thing you need to consider when you want to mine ETC is if you wish to solo mine or mine in a mining pool. If you want to join a mining pool, remember that mining pools charge a certain percentage out of your profits. But if you combine your hash power with other miners, you will get more profits. You can use Nanomine, Ethermine, or F2pool because they are popular mining pools you need to consider when it comes to Ethereum Classic mining.

Before we move on to mining Ethereum Classic, here is how to set up your hardware.

Here is a short guide on how to install your mining hardware.

Choose an ETC mining pool. We have already listed some recommended mining pools in this article. Note that Nanopool has an average fee of 1% while F2Pool has 4%.

After you plug the internet cable, your machine will automatically get an IP address from the network. To find the IP address, you need to access the DHCP server of your internet router or download the software IP Reporter from Bitmain’s website. After you have unzipped the file, double click on the IP Reporter, and you will see the following windows, then click on “start.” Once that is done, click and hold the button labeled “IP Reporter” on the ASIC device, and once that is done, a pop-up will appear on your screen with the machine’s IP address.

Input the IP in your browser, and the dialog box will require your username and password, which by default are both “root.”

Once you have logged in, go to Miner Configuration/General Settings. Once there, you will have to set the mining pools. Fill in two or three servers for Ethereum Classic mining to switch to another pool if the first one is not working. For instance:

Pool 1 – URL: stratum+tcp:// eu1-etc.ethermine.org:4444 – ethermine for Europe

Pool 2 – URL: stratum+tcp:// us1-etc.ethermine.org:4444 – ethermine for US East

If Pool 1 fails, the miner connects automatically to Pool 2. The user name is your Ethereum Classic wallet address, followed by a “.” and worker name. Note, you can leave the password field empty.

After a few minutes, you can view the full details of “Miners status.” Also, if you see your hash rate, then your ASIC is working correctly.

This article will use Nanopool and F2pool as the Ethereum Classic mining pools due to their quick start apps.

First and foremost, you need to go to Nanopool.org and click the Quick Start button under Ethereum Classic.

Once you have done this, you will see a set of five instructions. The first asks you to choose either Nvidia or AMD for your GPU. Once you have selected any of them, you will be directed to GitHub to download the mining software. However, you will download it as a .zip archive and then extract it to a folder on your PC.

Know that if you choose Nvidia, it will take you to the FinMiner software, while AMD choice takes you to the Claymore Dual Ethereum miner. However, you can use Finminer or Claymore Dual Ethereum because they can be used for AMD and Nvidia cards.

Once you have downloaded the Claymore files and unzipped them, you need to get a configuration file to run them. Different tools can do this, but Nanopool has one that you can use to configure the Claymore files. You can get Nanopool’s config file by going to its Quick Start menu and clicking the button under step 3 to generate your config file. This config file states some vital parameters such as the correct server to connect to, the ETH address you need to send your earnings to, and the address to which you send your second earnings (Siacon or PascalCoin).

You must choose a secondary wallet to send your earnings to, so you will either select Siacon or PascalCoin wallet.

Once you are done with that, then click on “Generate.” Once you click on that, another .zip file will be created. Download the file and extract the contents (dpools.txt, epools.txt, and start.bat) to the same folder you extracted the miner in the first step. Then click yes to overwrite the files when asked to.

Go to the folder where you extracted everything; double click the ‘start.bat’ file. The miner will first verify all parameters, and then it will launch the mining software. If everything has been confirmed, the software will begin the mining process.

With FinMiner mining software, you will need to perform some tasks. Like Claymore, you need to download the. Zip file from  Github source for the FinMiner. Once you have downloaded those, then extract them and configure them.

Open the config.ini file with Notepad, then insert the following under the  line “Address to send funds to”, replacing the line “wallet=”:

wallet=YOUR_ETH_ADDRESS

algorithm=Ethash

coin=ETH

rigName=YOUR_WORKER

email=YOUR_EMAIL

pool1 = eth-eu1.nanopool.org:9999

pool2 = eth-eu2.nanopool.org:9999

pool3 = eth-us-east1.nanopool.org:9999

pool4 = eth-us-west1.nanopool.org:9999

pool5 = eth-asia1.nanopool.org:9999

You also need to note that you have to replace your YOUR_ETH_ADDRESS with your actual Ethereum Classic wallet address. Once you are done, run the Finminer.exe file, and it will launch in the command line. Then you can start mining.

This section will take a detailed look at how to mine Ethereum Classic using the F2Pool mining pool. Here is what you need to do if you want to use F2Pool.

As stated earlier in this guide, we recommended using Bitman Antminer E3, AMD VEGA 64, or AMD VEGA 56 mining hardware. These mining hardware are suitable for Ethereum Classic mining, irrespective of the mining pool you are using.

You can either use Exodus wallet or Cobo wallet, as we have recommended earlier on in this guide. You can also choose an exchange such as Binance or Huobi.

You can use Clayminer, GMiner, and NBminer. But in this section, we will focus on GMiner and NBminer for this mining pool.

After downloading GMiner or NBminer, you need to uncompress it,  find the start.bat, or start.cmd file, right-click on it and click Edit. Then replace the existing commands with the following. Note these commands are for each of them.

For GMiner software, use this command: miner.exe –algo etchash –server etc.f2pool.com:8118 –user (wallet_address.worker_name). For NBMiner, use this: nbminer -a etchash -o stratum+tcp://etc.f2pool.com:8118 -u (wallet_address.worker_name). Additionally, Replace wallet_address with your Ethereum Classic wallet address.

Once you are done, save the start file and exit, then double-click the start file to start mining right away.

Another option to mine ETC is through Ethereum Classic cloud mining. This is slightly a less expensive way to mine Ethereum Classic. Cloud mining allows you to skip electricity issues and use expensive hardware equipment. In this method, a provider operates and takes care of the necessary hardware and rents it out to you once you sign a contract.

Some of the best cloud mining providers for Ethereum Classic are hashflare.io and genesis-mining.com. You can be paid in cryptocurrency once you request a withdrawal.

You can calculate how much ETC profits you will get once you mine. The Ethereum Classic calculator uses your mining hardware hash rate, network difficulty, and coin price to calculate what you will earn after you have mined at the end of the day.

The Ethereum Classic calculator information is updated constantly with the current block mining information. However, this information is used as the default inputs for the ETC mining calculator and the default hash rate.

Ethereum Classic is still profitable – based on the mining hardware hash rate of 400.00 MH/s, electricity costs, and pool/maintenance fees provided. With the Nanopool config or F2Pool, it is much easier to mine ETC.

A good thing about mining Ethereum Classic is it requires low hash power and electricity consumption. Nonetheless, a robust gaming laptop would be suitable to mine Ethereum Classic.

Furthermore, another great thing about mining this token is that you can even dual mine SiaCoin and PascalCoin. I hope I have explained enough on how to mine Ethereum Classic.

Here, a new es6 feature, called destructuring assignment [a, b] = [b, a] , is used to swap the value of two variables. If [a, b] = [1, 2, 3] , the value of a will be 1 and value of b will be 2. First a temporary array [b, a] is created. Here the value of [b, a] will be [2, 4] .
