#Ethereum #Mining with Gpu & Cpu
Hey everyone! I've recently gotten back into the mining scene, and I've decided to mine Ethereum (or ETH). I've been mining Dash coin lately (which I might also set up a guide for at a later date) and has proven to be somewhat profitable. However, at this moment in time ETH is the most profitable coin to mine, whether it be to convert into Bitcoin (BTC) or into a fiat currency.
Follow these instructions coming up next, and you'll be mining ETH
A little about #Ethereum mining..
ETH mining is ASIC-proof, meaning that only GPU's and CPU's can be used to mine ETH. CPUs, in all reality, is too cumbersome to use as a means to mining Ethereum; CPU's simply will not do the trick. #AMD video cards are preferred and usually are more efficient, but you can also mine via NVIDIA cards as well. You can get a list of GPU's optimal for
mining here: http://www.mininghwcomparison.com/list/index.php
Alright, with that out of the way, let's keep this short and sweet -- we just want to mine ETH, we don't want to read a wall of text!
BE SURE TO TURN OFF YOUR FIREWALL/ANTI-VIRUS OR ALLOW PERMISSION FOR ALL THINGS ETHEREUM!

I have never mined but turning off your firewall....on a mining rig....sounds like a bad idea. Can a hacker steal btc or eth from a mining rig if accessed remotely?
If yes, then I would recommend forwarding all ports like you said. Turning off security sounds sketchy.
As far as i know every Application file execute in ,exe file that's why some of the files are scanned as virus in antivirus programs or on any spyware i mentioned it because many of our fellow members find problem in installing one application and after that they say your app is not working .i said you to disable it only the time of installation not forever.
