By default or if in doubt which share difficulty to choose, choose the lower one. We recommend the high share difficulty if you mine with more than 500 GPU's. If you mine using Nicehash you should always choose the high share difficulty. Share difficulty doesn’t affect miner rewards. Read more.

For mining BTG coin choose algorithm: EQ 144,5

Step 1 - Create a wallet

You could receive payouts in Bitcoin (BTC), Toncoin (TON) or Bitcoin Gold (BTG). Payout fees in BTC and TON are low (less than $0.2 and $0.02 respectively), payouts in BTG are absolutely free ($0). Read our post Get Paid in Bitcoin for Altcoin Mining. Attention! Due to BTG deposit rules on exchanges, BTC payouts may take up to 3 days.

For each of the coins you could use a desktop or mobile wallet or generate an address on a crypto exchange.

For BTC we recommend official Bitcoin wallet for desktop, Trust Wallet for mobile, and exchanges Binance (choose Bitcoin SegWit chain), Gate.io or KuCoin.
For TON we recommend the official Telegram wallet or Tonkeeper. Always use addresses that start with "UQ..".
For BTG we recommend the official Bitcoin Gold Core wallet, mobile wallet Guarda and Gate.io exchange.

Step 2 - Download mining software

Quick start - Download ready to go version of the GPU Miner (archive password - 2miners).

For Nvidia GPU's we recommend GMiner (Guide - How to use GMiner).
For AMD GPU's we recommend lolMiner (Guide - How to use lolMiner).

Step 3 - Edit the bat file

Use YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS that you've created on Step 1.
Example: GJjz2Du9BoJQ3CPcoyVTHUJZSj62i1693U
If you want, you can Change RIG_ID in the bat file. Specify the name of the rig as you want it to be shown in miner's statistics page. This field is not mandatory. You could leave it empty.
Length of RIG_ID - Maximum 32 characters. Use English letters, numbers and symbols "-" and "_".
