Step 2: Download The Unmineable Software. Before downloading the file, set some folder exclusions on Windows Defender, in your antivirus and also in your browser so you can download the file without being bothered with notifications of dangerous files. Official Unmineable software can be downloaded from this site: Unmineable Download Download the MFI version (Miners files included). Step 3: Extract and Run Unmineable as Administrator. The unmineable software is just one executable file, it already contains all the configurations so it is the best and easiest way to mine any Crypto. Run the file as an Administrator in windows. It looks exactly like this when you run it: You can select GPU cards. It will take you to the second screen where you will enter your Bitcoin Gold BTG Address and also the code which will allow you to drop your Dev Fee from 1% to 0.75%.

Once it starts you can check the speed of your Graphic card or CPU which shows as the Current Hashrate. Also you can click on the stats button on the top right to go directly to the Unmineable website where you can check your balance and request a manual payment. note it is recommended you change a few settings in Windows, increase the windows virtual memory, there’s people that disable the Updates and also disable sleeping mode, hibernation or anything that could turn off the computer while it is not in use. When using a Laptop, make sure it has some battery or is plugged so it won’t shut down. Consider monitoring the Temperature of the GPU, try not to exceed 70C on the GPU and 95C on the memory, you can use hardware monitor to check the temperatures or MSI Afterburner which you can also use to set an Overclocking profile and get better hashrates on your RTX 3060 when mining.
