Course Description
Cryptocurrency Mining is a great investment. In the future, the world will use various cryptocurrencies to trade and exchange goods and services. Building a Cryptocurrency Mining Rig to mine cryptocurrency is pretty straightforward, but there many steps during the build and setup process that can save you a lot of time and perhaps a lot of money by knowing up front. This course will save you time and money as you build your first mining computer.
This course is designed to walk you through the build process of a Crypto Mining Rig. You can use this rig to mine other altcoins such as ZCash, Ethereum Classic, SiaCoin, Monero, Pascalcoin, Electroneum, and more. We will look at using the popular Mining solutions like Claymore Miner and SimpleMining OS. We will optimize the rig to reach max performance while still maintaining stability.
Even though Ethereum can no longer be mined using GPUs, there are many other coins to mine that are very profitable.
The goal at the end of this course is for you to have a running mining rig that is mining the cryptocurrency of your choice. This mining rig should pay for itself and produce near pure profit after that (once you subtract electricity cost).
Whether or not you have set up a computer, this course is for you. I go into deep detail to explain not only what to do, but why. Understanding the fundamentals of computer building and cryptocurrency mining will help you reach your return on investment sooner.
You will learn how to build a computer, install Windows 10, set up the mining software, optimize the graphics cards (GPUs), overclock your GPUs, optimize Windows 10, and how to access your mining rig remotely. You will even learn how to track your energy consumption so you can calculate your profits.
Join me as we build an Ethereum Mining Rig together!

Hi all, I am a website designer and photographer who has been working for himself since graduating high school. I taught myself website design and development so I could start my own business. In 2005 I taught myself photography and started a photography business as a professional wedding photographer. Since then, I have helped hundreds companies and organizations market their products and services online. As a photographer, I continue to capture photos and produce video for weddings, events, conferences and more.
I teach because I was taught by so many through blog posts, articles and online videos. Teaching allows me to give back and teach others the way I would have liked to be taught. Many of my courses are free because I believe in giving back.
I am a husband and father with three amazing kids. You can learn more about me at my website. I hope to see you in one of my courses. Thanks so much!

Though the course is dated 5-6 years ago, I learned a lot from it. From viewing more recent YouTube videos on the subject of building GPU miners, most information is still applicable. Jerad's teaching skills are excellent.

I have lots of questions about the right drivers for my Nvidia cards. I'm a bit confused about that. I'm wondering when this course was recorded, and if ETH mining is still practical.

Actually building the computer adding win10 was something I can do blindfolded. But The GPU Info is somewhere a road less traveled. So the GPU and Win 10 tweaks were worth their weight in Gold. Also the Wallet and Mining software was Titanium information. This class is a little old, I had to invest my grandchildren's future into MSI Gforce 1050 TI GPU's Also the Fan mount and screens he did not install, I have ordered 6 120mm 1700 fans I will mount across the front. I got the 1300wt PS he used but I also have a new 650 80+Bronze that I plan to use for all the extra fans and maybe 2 gpu's

Only minus is that it's old, made 2017. Linked items are out of stock (may be too old and they are not making them any more). But overall it's good. I know nothing about inside of a computer but even I can follow and understand what is needed

I am always interested about cryptocurrency but have not done anything at all to progress. This video I believe will give me a good start and enough knowledge to dip my toes on cryptocurrency. Thank you for making this course available to everyone.
By Thomas Kneubuehler on 7/20/2021
It was a good starder course. I did learn quite a lot and it did hlp me build my first rig. The thing that I found after I finished the rig is that Windows 10 needs quite a few things turned off that it is running longer then about 10 hours. So that is one thing that I whish would have been in the course as well.
By Fred Tyre on 7/8/2021
Great course. I know quite a bit about building my own personal computer, but hadn't built a mining rig, yet. Now I at least understand how. Next step is doing the cost analysis. Thank you so much.
By Ben on 6/15/2021
good course, very to the point and gives details on how to set up and build your mining system, I wish it went more in depth of why to use one program over another or how to set up files instead of using his files, but they will definitely work.
By Oscar Luna on 5/2/2021
This is a good course to introduce yourself to the mining cryptocoins. However, the first part of the course is confusing since MegaHashes per second is not precisely a well known term. Some research can clarify the terms but it would have been better to skip it or introduce the meaning of those terms. In general, it is great that somebody took the time to explain how to set a mining computer.
By Michael Olson on 2/28/2018
This material is at a lower level than my current expertise. Good for someone who has not built a computer themselves, but my interest is in the configuration for mining, not so much how to build a PC. I'll see what is covered going forward.
