I am completely new to the mining world and i wanted to try it once. I have a Sapphire R9 290X.
I followed all the steps to start mining. Aftert typing in :"geth --rpc --fast --cache=1024" my computer is syncing the last 5 days. My computer crashed 2 times since then, so i reopenend it and it continue loading. Right now my chaindata folder is 56,3GB and the sync is still going on.
my terminal has lines like:
