How I mine Aura Ledger (ARA) with Claymore dual GPU miner
Aura is a new cryptocurrency and blockchain based off of ethereum (Dagger Hashimoto algoritm). Users can send and recieve aura as a cryptocurrency, and developers can write smart contracts to power decentralized apps on the platform. Aura is powered by a worldwide network of independent users running aura nodes.
The aura, like any coin on the algorithm of Dagger Hashimoto, can be obtained by using the program for mining and your GPU-based equipment from Nvidia or AMD.
Today we will look at the steps that need to be taken to get coins by Aura Ledger using the program Claymore Dual GPU miner.
- Creating a wallet for storing coins Aura Ledger. To do this, we need to go to the site https://wallet.auraledger.com/
As we see, you just need to enter a password for the future wallet (Password must be 9 characters long and you can click the eye to view the exact password, don’t forget to save it!).
The next step is the preservation of Keystore File (This file contains ALL your information for your wallet address and must be taken care of, Do not lose it! It cannot be recovered if you lose it.).
Once the file is saved, you can go to the next page. Just сlick on “I understand. Continue.” button.
In this page you will be able to see your private key, it is very important information for you and your wallet. I would recommend keeping the key on paper, as the creators of the wallet advise and save this paper in a very safe place. Private Key it is alternative to your Keystore file to login and access your account.
After you’ve done everything, you can finally access your wallet.
As you can see, I prefer to use a private key to access my wallet.
Finally we see our wallet. We keep the address of the wallet, we will need it to configure the mining.
2. Download Claymore Dual Miner from BitcoinTalk https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1433925.0
While Claymore is downloading, we will choose a pool with which we will get a coin. I use https: //upool.in a reliable and stable pool for mining Aura Ledger. You can always find another pool one using Google search. But I like this pool.
After download, unzip it in your working folder and search the folder for the “start.bat” file, right click on it and press “edit”
You left the last step. In the file start.bat you need to specify your wallet and the pool with which you will get coins. An example of a string for configuring the Claymore dual miner is indicated in the middle of the main page of the pool
EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool stratum+tcp://aura.upool.in:7002 -ewal 0xC12414c6cA580B4B594C98825e185Ad7a1Ea32d0 -eworker Rig1 -epsw x -allcoins 1 -allpools 1 -mode 1 .
So I’ll just show my settings in the start.bat file
After making changes, under your settings, save the file and run it. After a few seconds you should see this picture.
If you see this picture, after a while, coins will appear on your wallet. Also, you can always control the coin mining process on the pool statistics page.
Enjoy your mining.
