[Deprecated] How To Mine Bitcoin Using ASIC USB Block Erupters and BitMinter

I’ve been notified BitMinter is going offline. I wrote about this popular Bitcoin mining pool in the past, so it made perfect sense to update you all on this important Cryptocurrency closure.

Back in the day, like just a few months ago really, anyone with a PC could mine Bitcoin. Using your computer’s graphics card processor, or your computer’s CPU, all you needed to do to mine BTC was download the BitMinter App and run it.

It used to be this easy:

And these were the super simple steps you would take to mine Bitcoin through BitMinter.

These are the Sapphire Block Erupter Bitcoin USB Mining Sticks that are still sold on Amazon: http://amzn.to/2BFy7aQ

These were Step by Step Instructions, before they were deprecated:

Step 1
Get a Bitcoin Wallet Address (v.ht/Coinbase)

Step 2
Download & Install the ASIC USB Driver (v.ht/ASIC-Driver)

Step 3
Download & Install Java (www.java.com – if needed – reboot is recommended)

Step 4
Visit www.bitminter.com and use your Google account to login
Copy your BitMinter username
Download & Install the Auto Updated BitMinter app (v.ht/BitMinter)

Step 5
Run BitMinter & login using your BitMinter username

Step 6
Start devices, sit back and enjoy your retirement! :P

— Unfortunately, this tutorial has been made obsolete due to BitMinter shutting down after the technology, notably GFX & PC mining, became unprofitable. —

Are there other ways to mine Bitcoin using Sapphire Block Erupter Bitcoin USB Mining Sticks?

Yes, there are! Some are PC based, others mine on Linux or Raspberry Pi OS.

Inquire within for details how to get your rigs running full tilt…
