[MOD POST] Post Formatting: Include your SETTINGS and HARDWARE

Dear community. Like mentioned in an earlier thread by mycomputerisbacon, I'm also very happy to see this subreddit grow so fast.

What I am noticing with many posts made by users who need help, miner settings and other software info are often not included. In 9 out of 10 cases it is neccesary to know what miner, which settings and/or what pool you are using.

This does not only stop the first bunch of replies being about which settings you use, but really reduces the time before someone can start helping you. It also increases search results for people who might be having the same trouble.

So as of now, in your new threads, please include:

  • Which miner you are using

  • Which settings you are using (post screenshot or .conf)

  • Which hardware you are having issues with (possibly include link to product page)

  • In some cases full hardware specifications, like PSU or CPU, will also be neccesary.

For posting screenshots, imgur is probably the easiest. Just press Print Screen to take a screenshot and CTRL + V on their page.
