Hi.

I have been reading GRIN mining for several days, but I have some doubts.

I have a large number of RIG’s, and I would like to put them to mine GRIN and help with the project, but as I said i have some doubts.

Is it currently possible to mine grin with AMD GPU? If so, could someone help me by telling me step by step how to do it? I can put all the RIG’s to mine right now.

If it were not possible to mine with AMD, but if with CPU or Nvidia, it would also be useful for me how to do it step by step.

Excuse me if it is a heavy task to explain step by step how to do it, I do not currently have much time, but I would like to be able to help in the project and contribute in this way.

Thank you!

You can only mine with a CPU or a Nvidia card at this time. For instructions see:
