Mining Guide | How to Start Silent Mining - SIM-5552122 - Aug 9, 2024

Attention: This thread is for educational purposes only. Only mine on computers you have permission to mine on.

Introduction

Silent mining is when a bot herder secretly installs mining software on infected devices to mine cryptocurrencies like Nexa, RVN, ETH, or XMR. The mining happens in the background, using the device's power and electricity without the user noticing. This way, the bot herder can earn cryptocurrency without the victim being aware.

In this thread, I will explain how to start earning income using silent mining. I will cover how to stay anonymous, setup services, mining tools, and build and spread payloads.

Setup

Before starting, purchase a Mullvad VPN to hide your true IP address. Mullvad does not keep any logs. In fact, during a 2023 police raid, Swedish law enforcement left empty-handed due to Mullvad's strict no-logging policy. You should always be connected to the VPN, especially when accessing the VPS.

For a deeper analysis of staying anonymous, I recommend checking this page: anonymousplanet.org 🔗

Next, we need to find a silent mining tool to connect the bots and start earning passive income. Here are some mining tools:

- Pure Miner 🔗
- Unam Sanctam Miner 🔗
- Rogue Miner 🔗

After choosing the Silent Miner tool, you need to buy a VPS to run the server. The following VPS providers allow malicious activity on their servers:

- AnonRDP 🔗
- PrivateAlps 🔗
- CrazyRDP 🔗

Now, you need a bulletproof domain for DNS to prevent losing all clients if your VPS IP address changes. These domains ignore spamhaus reports and are less likely to be taken down. Here are some reliable domain providers for this purpose:

- GreenBullet 🔗
- BPW 🔗
- RegRU 🔗

After purchasing a domain, connect it to Cloudflare and point it to your VPS IP address. If your VPS IP changes, you can easily update the IP address pointer through Cloudflare.

Miner Payload

After completing the previous steps, it's time to start the server and build the miner payload. The setup process may vary with different mining tools, so in this tutorial, we will use Pure Miner as an example. If you purchased a solid miner tool, it should come with a tutorial.

You'll need to enter your purchased domain into the IP Address section, as shown in the image. In Pure Miner, the default ports are 39001, 39002, and 39003; you can leave these as they are. You can also keep the other default settings unchanged.

After building the stub, you can adjust the mining settings in the "Task" tab without needing to rebuild the miner payload. Just copy the coin address from your crypto wallet and import your preferred mining pool. That should cover everything.

To maximize the miner's effectiveness, you need to bypass antivirus detections to avoid raising user suspicion and having the payload removed. Use a crypter to keep the payload undetected by antivirus software. I recommend purchasing a private crypter to maintain the payload's stealth for a longer period.

Spreading

Now you need to learn how to spread to start generating income from mining. Computers with better specs will generate more money, so targeting high-performance gaming PCs is key. To reach these, you should focus on the gaming niche. Here are some ideas for where to bind your miner payload:

- Performance Optimization: Software that helps manage your game library, optimize your system for gaming, and provides additional tools like a game launcher and system cleaner.

- Game Mods and Customization: Software that provides players with advantages, such as cheats, skin changers, etc.

- System Monitoring and Maintenance: Tools for checking hardware specifications and monitoring system temperatures and voltages.

You can promote the software on social media, through Google or other ad services, and by learning website SEO. Remember to give the project time to appear as legitimate as possible to achieve the best results.

There are many ways to spread, and although spreading in the gaming niche is the most effective for mining, no client will cause you to lose money. Every worker you install increases your earnings, so you can spread in almost any niche.

In addition to spreading, you can invest in and purchase bots from a bot seller or bot shop. Before making a purchase, check the seller's vouches and reputation to avoid scams. Using an escrow or middleman is highly recommended. However, I do not recommend buying bots as they always come with risks. For the highest quality, it's best to learn to spread yourself.

Revenue

It's hard to estimate how much you will earn from mining, as income depends on many factors, including the specs of the infected PCs, the price of the mined coins, the online time of the infected PCs, the number of active miners, the efficiency of the mining software, and the network difficulty of the cryptocurrency being mined.

Miner tools usually offer a variety of coins to mine. You can find the most profitable coins to mine on whattomine.com and 2cryptocalc.com. As of the latest update, I recommend mining RVN with GPU and XMR or ZEPHYR with CPU.

To give you an idea of the revenue, let's consider a 3090 Ti. As shown in the image, a 3090 Ti earns $0.61 per day if it runs around the clock. However, in silent mining, this won't be the case. If the infected PC runs for 6 hours a day, the revenue would be approximately $0.15. The income can also be affected by whether the user is idle or using the PC for gaming, which can reduce the overall performance and revenue. For calculations, if the bot stays connected to the mining pool, this single PC will earn you $4.50 per month.

If you are ready to see effort on the project, silent mining will be profitable without a doubt.

You should recommend crypters you tested and work good

Personally, I don't have any crypters to recommend at the moment. However, you can check out this other informative thread by Ph4n70M Phr34K if you are interested in crypters.

No, i said for new users I use my silentminer for now is still FUD only NOD32 detect in 3 months

Very nice guide, thanks man.

i looking for botshop but i cant found, there is any active botshop?

Thanks.

If I drop the miner trough a loader do I still need to setup VPs and Domain ?

Yes, you do need it. I think VPS and domain are not necessary for Unam Miner, but for Pure Miner, you definitely need a VPS.

(Aug 9, 2024 06:02 PM)Incog Wrote: Good thread, I would personally stay away from cpu mining however, it's far less profitable than gpu, and it's a much more noticeable style of mining compared to gpu

with 500kh/s, assuming an average of 2kh/s per bot for 250 devices (being a bit generous there but whatever)

If you did this split:

Compare it to these stats (assuming some people either are running integrated processors or don't have cards that can match the DAG size)

Obviously, like you said it's all dependant, but users noticing significant slowdown due to cpu mining will likely lead to a higher bot loss rate, so I wouldn't personally recommend CPU mining for people as an additional income, focus on the GPU and do other things with the devices.

Please check that math, I was confusing myself for about 4 minutes on the cpu stuff

You didn't say new users, but benefit of the doubt for that lol

Thanks, that's a good addition to the topic. Obviously, GPU mining is 10 times more profitable than CPU mining. However, not all miners support dual mining, where both GPU and CPU are used at the same time. If you use your bots only for mining, CPU mining shouldn't be a major concern for losing bots.

General botshops are on HF, lookup botshop in the search

i checked and messaged all of them and no reply

Very interesting!! Pro user who doing this gain approx how much per month ?

I'd say the more you put in, the more you'll get out.

You know that UnamSanctamMiner was removed from GitHub, right?

Yes I’m aware of that, which is why I only linked his GitHub account. I heard he posted the original source in a zip file on GoFile, but since I’m not sure if it’s infected with anything, I just linked his GitHub. The original repository broke GitHub’s TOS, which is why it was removed by their team. The miner might still be available somewhere if I’m not mistaken.

Edit: After doing a bit of research, I found that Unam commented this:
