• BFGMiner

Someone buys coins cheaper in order to sell them for a good sum in the future. Others don't try to find standard ways. And honestly, trading or investing can take a lot more money than classic mining. BFGMiner is one of the most effective programs for mining. The software is controlled by entering commands. What are the main features of this program? How it differs from others? What distinctive features can be noted today? All of this we will try to break down...

The features of the program BFGMiner
On the one hand - it's the simplest console program, but it has a very interesting feature - the ability to interact with FPGA-devices. And not every program can boast of these features.

In addition, of the features we can note the following:
It allows you to work (perform mining) on devices of different spectrum: CPUs, graphics adapters, Asics and FPGA systems;
A very large selection of keys, with which you can configure the program properly;
BFGMiner is a real possibility to control cooler frequency and rotation speed. If you monitor these issues, you can earn quite a lot of tokens;
High performance. If we look at other programs (alternative format), we can make a very simple conclusion: BFGMiner offers, indeed, a very high efficiency of its work.

• How to configure the program BFGMiner correctly?

Setting up any mining software is quite a complicated process (especially if you are doing it for the first time). First of all, you will need to get your own cryptocurrency wallet, and then you will need to register with a mining pool. You can choose what you like.

Immediately after the registration, you should download the program from the official site. After downloading we get a zipped folder, from which we have to "get" all the files and save them in a separate folder. Then we create a file with *.bat extension. The name of the file is arbitrary (the main thing is that in the future you will not forget what kind of file it is).

Then we open the created file in notepad. There we will need to enter the code in the following format:

"bfgminer -scrypt -o stratum+tcp://PUT ADDRESS:PORT NUMBER -p PASSWORD -u LOGIN -S opencl:auto -intensity 9 -w 512"

Now we need to adjust this code file a bit.

We will need to replace the following values:

PULL ADDRESS - here you should enter the value (pool address) where you are registered;
PORT NUMBER - here you should enter the value of the port you are working with;
PASSWORD - here you should enter the password which you specified during the registration of your pool;
LOGIN - here you must enter the login (the license number of the miner-program itself).
What should we put in the intensity parameter? There we need to specify the number (value) from 1 to 20. It all depends on the type of device you will be mining with. This is determined by a simple calculation.

• If you started mining and are trying to find any program, BFGMiner is the best option.
