A quick guide on building a GPU Mining Rig: Best for Ethereum and Ethereum Classic platforms

This book answers the questions about "What does it mean to mine a cryptocurrency such as Ethereum?", "How to mine with a graphics card (GPU)?", "How to start your GPU mining business with only $100", "How to deal with generated heat from a GPU mining rig and how to extend the life of the components?", and "How much money does a GPU mining rig make?". It helps you to "Choose the best GPU for mining Ethereum platform". In short it is "A complete step-by-step guide to the hardware and software for building a GPU mining rig."

This book is written for those people who have little or no idea about the business of mining cryptocurrencies and how to build a GPU mining rig. The reader does not need to have any prior programming or technical scripting knowledge (a scripting or script language is a programming language that supports scripts). So, it should be suitable for those who regard themselves as “newbies”. The topics of heat generation and life of components covered in Chapter 3 and of the earning, cost and investment covered in Chapter 4, are rarely discussed in the context of GPU mining, so these chapters may be of interest even to an expert in the field of mining cryptocurrencies. In the final chapter, it has been tried to collect all of the ideas on building a GPU mining rig that Author has been able to find on the web and has put the designs in categories, for instance, chassis with open-air or closed-air designs. The advantages and disadvantages of any particular component or design have been analyzed thoroughly to give the reader as broad a view of the topic as possible. Also, the main focus is on computer hardware and how to put the parts together, rather than on software development, most of the information in Chapters 1 and 2, which covers general cryptocurrency and computer hardware knowledge, have been gathered from the web. Moreover, It has been tried to write this book in simple English to facilitate understanding.
