I decided to build this mining rig https://youtu.be/EJTMYGcoBws. But i can't choose which mining programme i should use that is free. I think the nest alternative would be to mine zcash. But if you think i should mine something else pkease tell me and tell me the programme for that. If you could also tell me which wallet would be the best for that programme and if i should use linux or windows.

There are programs out there that will automatically mine whatever is most profitable at the moment. E.g. Nicehash.

Otherwise, you need to decide what you want to mine before you can decide what software to use. There are a variety of sites that will show you estimated earnings for particular hardware based on current mining difficulty. E.g. https://whattomine.com

The fact that you're asking this makes me think you haven't done any analysis of profitability or ROI, which you really should do before dropping ~$20K on HW. Keep in mind that mining difficulty typically goes up over time, meaning your rewards will keep dropping and you'll make less and less unless the value of the coin continually increases as well.

You've chosen ~$20,000 in parts, and you're wondering "which mining programme" you should use?

One would hope that you're doing a LOT of personal research on this.

Like...how do you plan to provide power to 2 x 2400 watt PSU's.


Which "mining programmes" do you have experience with?

If you really want to run NVIDIA cards, your best bet is probably ethminer for Etherium. Your payback for that gear will be a long long time though depending on your local electricity cost, probably several years at a minimum.

You should be doing a lot more research before buying anything. If you currently have a computer with a halfway decent video card try it out on the side for a while to help you understand what is involved.
