Hi!

 

I'm trying to mine using my PC running Windows 10. I used to use NiceHash Legacy, when that stopped working, I went to NiceHash v2. Now that has stopped working, I've been trying to use miners like BFGminer, Awesome Miner, MultiMiner, and CGminer to no avail. Can anyone connect via TeamViewer and help me out? Let me know.

 

Regards,

Richard

Not actually mining Bitcoin, I should've put cryptocurrency mining. I like mining XMR and AEON.

The NH programs have had issues connecting recently, this is an issue that quite a few people have had, myself included. 
Make sure you have the latest versions as that has fixed the issue.

For XMR and AOEN, XMR-Stak is easy to use and setup. Plus it can be used for other coins as well like SumoKoin.

MFB (Mining/Folding/Boinc): AMD 1600 - 3080 & 1080Ti - 16GB Ram - 240GB SSD
Dell OPTIPLEX:  Intel i5 6500 - 8GB Ram - 256GB SSD

Probably not the kind of response you were looking for but I think the various crypto-subreddits have pretty comprehensive guides on how to make a set up.

Try running it as an admin.
