Account type and identification process. More about the program

As they would say in the report at the Party Congress, about 30 years ago, “The current political situation in the world has taken a serious turn.” Russia is under sanctions, and although this has not affected the majority of the country, the petty machinations of the “imperialists” will spoil the mood. I'm talking about blocking access to some servers and services on the Internet. The thing is not terrible, but, you see, it is unpleasant.

Now we will do something to get rid of them. Error 403 is precisely a ban on access to a site, or a specific subsection of it; it often occurs if your computer is prohibited from receiving data from there, and this was not done by your provider, but by the owners of the site itself. What to do if error 403 appears over and over again? How to get rid of 403 error? This is what we will do now.

It is easy to determine where a particular computer is located using its external IP address. The IP address of a computer is, so to speak, the “return address” that is contained in a request to receive a specific page or file.

How to use

Having received a request, the site you are trying to view sends a response to the address that was specified. But, if the territory where you live is included in the “black list”, then you will not receive an answer. And they will send you the picture that I gave just above. In order to obtain the required information, there are several ways, such as working through a proxy server and working through a VPN server, for example. We will consider the second option. I recommend it because it is more stable in terms of operation and usually provides greater speed and information content.

Let's get started. Let's score in search bar FREE VPN SERVER, “free” - in our case means “free”, naturally we are not going to pay the enemies for doing all sorts of minor dirty tricks to us.

I hid the first few answers - they are not quite suitable for us, but we will switch to Japanese development - website http://vpngate.net

The gray square in the picture hides my real IP address, these are insidious samurai trying to intimidate visitors, saying that “we know everything about you.” Well, you know - and okay, there’s nothing wrong with that, thousands of users connect to you every second, including from the USA and the European Union. In its place you will have the flag of your country and your IP address.

IN top menu pages, select the line “Download” (in English – “Download”) and in the menu the first line – “Download VPN Gate Client". To servers included in free network VPN Gate can be connected to many different ways, but for a computer based on Windows OS - the one proposed is optimal - it is convenient, easy to set up and, in my opinion, is not inferior to others in speed. On the next page we find and click on the link to download the archive with the files we need:

Don't worry if your grade in school is foreign languages was, to put it mildly, “not very” I will guide you through the entire installation and configuration procedure. So click on the link:

This is the window FireFox browser, asking where to save the file. Do you have a different browser? Well then the window will look a little different, but the essence will not change. After downloading the file, and this is a ZIP archive, you need to open it by double-clicking on the name of the just downloaded file. As a result, if you do not have other programs for working with archives installed, you will see something like this:

This is how Windows displays the contents of ZIP archives. If you have a third-party archiver installed and you don’t know how to use it, click on the archive file right click mouse and from the drop-down menu select “Open with” > “Explorer”:

Our task is to extract all files from the archive, so we select:

The result of the command is shown in the following figure. The specific address where the files will be unpacked on my computer has been obscured; yours will probably be slightly different. It is very important for a beginner to leave the “Show extracted files” checkbox in place, then after unpacking you will immediately go to the folder where the files extracted from the archive are located.

Is there a familiar picture just below? No, I'm not repeating myself. These are already unzipped files in a folder on your computer. See the icon next to the application file? Previously it did not exist, since Windows does not fully display file icons inside archives.

Run the file double click mice:

This is a standard warning that the file was downloaded from the Internet and may be dangerous. Don’t be alarmed, if you downloaded it using my link, then the file is not infected, although, of course, you can work on the Internet without installed antivirus– that same “Russian Roulette”.

In the installer welcome window that opens, click the “Next” button. And in the next window we leave the choice top line options further actions:

After clicking the “Next” button in the previous window we get license agreement:

Of course we agree with him, how could it be otherwise? “Next” again and start installing the support client VPN networks Gate.

The installation process is quite concise and quick, and the inscriptions in the window change about 4-5 times; upon completion, you will be presented with a window like this with a checkmark next to the “Launch VPN Gate client” command.

This is actually what we were trying to achieve. Click “Finish” and get the main program window:

Next is quite a bit. Double-click on the line marked in the previous figure:

Now you see a list of servers through which you can safely and secretly work on the Internet, even if the region where you are now is blocked by all imaginable and unimaginable “sanctions”.

Briefly about the names of the columns by which you can sort in in the right order server. The first two are fairly indifferent to us, but the third contains the name of the country or region where the server providing its services is located.

If you choose to sort servers by region of location, click on the column name - Region in in this case At the top of our list were servers from the country JAPAN - Japan. The next column is UPTIME - it tells us the time in hours, how long this server has been working continuously. It is useful because by comparing the operating time with the following column VPN SESSIONS (the number of users working at a given minute) you can imagine that it is viable this server, or not. Maybe something is stuck there, and even though the server has been running for 3 days, it actually has zero users. You should not connect to such a server.

The next column - LINE SPEED - shows the speed at which this gateway operates. This is also very informative data. If you divide the data from the “speed” column by the “number of users” data, you can roughly imagine how quickly you will work through this server, that is, how quickly files will download and pages will open.

If your ISP provides you with Internet access at a speed of 100 megabits, but the VPN server only gives you 3 megabits, then best case scenario Your speed will be limited to 3 megabits, maybe a little more. Choose, either use the option as I suggested, or buy access to paid service VPN or... forget about it Free access to the network.

I guess you don’t want to pay extra money, so let’s continue brief instructions. The third line (line, not column!) in the above window shows in the column a speed of 355 megabits and only 10 users. Click on the column name LINE SPEED and the most fast servers will be at the top of the list. For the first connection attempt, I chose a “simpler” server with a speed of 92 megabits, divided between 3 users. The server is located in South Korea, let's try to connect to it. Select the line with the server parameters and double-click on it, or click the “Connect to the VPN Server"at the bottom of the window:

The next window will prompt you to select some connection parameters:

There are no tips here, except for one thing - try this and that, putting a “dot” first at the top, then on the bottom line, if the first option ends in failure. The connection process looks like this:

And here unsuccessful attempt So:

I recommend interrupting the connection process by clicking the Cancel Connection button, as shown in the figure above, and selecting a different server or connection parameters. Unfortunately, the free nature of the network somewhat imposes restrictions on the stability of its operation. If the connection is successful, you will first be shown the following window:

And when the connection is fully established it looks like this:

It means that when you go to a site that previously blocked access by IP address, your computer is now seen as a computer located in a completely different part of the world. The following figure shows your current IP address on the Internet:

Now you can try the connection that failed before, with a 99.9% probability it will work this time, and the machinations of the sharks of imperialism will no longer harm you.

Having completed everything that you previously could not do, disconnect from the VPN Gate - there is no need to work at low speed. To do this, click on the line active compound right-click and select the line in the “Disconnect All” menu:

After a few seconds you will be disconnected from VPN servers and you will be visible to sites on the Internet under your own address.

In conclusion of this instruction, a couple of general comments.

1. Don’t be upset if you weren’t able to enter under the flag of the USA or some other very “cool” country. Sometimes servers located in the Russian Federation work just as stably, and are closer and therefore faster. This is especially true for Crimeans, who are harshly treated by Google and other bourgeois mugs.
2. Periodic disconnection of the connection, unfortunately, happens, but I don’t suggest working via VPN forever. Downloaded required file, or opened the page - disconnect!
3. Speed. Yes, speed. This, unfortunately, is the bottleneck in this technology. However, free proxy servers in my opinion, it’s even more “slow” so the choice is yours.
4. Sometimes, when visiting pages that have different variants display languages, you may be redirected to a page with the language of the country under which you logged in. This doesn't happen often, but it does happen. Just select a different page language, there is usually a menu with checkboxes at the top of the site different countries– choose your native one, or at least the one whose language you know.
5. The very last one. Sometimes, after the connection is lost, you will not be able to log into sites on the Internet using your usual address. This also doesn't happen often. But still, if this happens, just restart your computer, or router, if you have one installed.

A few days ago, while trying to find information on the Internet about a cryptocurrency unknown to me (Bytecoin), I came across one interesting service. It's called MinerGate and belong to the number of pools for mining cryptocurrencies. Although I spent quite a lot of time on various pools, I did not immediately classify this project as one of those.

The site has many features that set it apart from similar projects. It has its pros, cons, and what not...

In general, let me introduce you to the service more closely, show you how to make money on the MinerGate project, and you can decide for yourself whether to get involved with this project.

Features of MinerGate

• Probably the most main feature this pool - the use of the CryptoNight algorithm, based on the CryptoNote technology or protocol (read how ).
• Based on the mentioned technology, a completely new cryptocurrency- Bytecoin. Then came whole line other digital CryptoNote currencies: Monero, MonetaVerde, Aeon and others. You can mine almost all of these cryptocurrencies on the MinerGate website.
• Next feature The service consists of using your computer’s processor to mine cryptocurrency.
• The degree of anonymity in the algorithm used is higher than in the Bitcoin network.

In short, these are perhaps the main non-standard features of the pool. But I can’t ignore one more little thing - GUI miner. I’ll dwell on this a little later, but for now let’s figure out the registration, learn how to work on MinerGate and how to withdraw money from this pool.

Registration on the MinerGate website

So, to register, go to the MinerGate website and click green button"Sign up" We fill out the most simple form, and click the button below (p. 1).

Now open your email and activate your account by following the link.

If you have not received the email, then after registering, go to your profile and click “Verify e-mail”. After receiving the email and clicking on the link, be sure to click “Save Changes.”

Earnings from the MinerGate pool

The MinerGate system offers its users several options for earning money:

1. , without downloading software;
2. Production virtual money using a program (miner) on the computer processor.

Going deeper into each of the points, I would like to start from the end of the list, since most of all new users are worried about the question “how to mine on MinerGate on a video card?” It all depends on your “video”. There will be 2 gigs free random access memory- the buttons in the GPU section will be active, but will not be, you will see the inscription “Not available” (p. 2).

There are also other, not entirely explainable reasons why it is impossible to start mining. This mainly applies to laptops. For example, my laptop, with ATI card The Mobility Radeon HD 5650 does not want to mine any of the cryptocurrencies, although there are plenty of gigabytes for work.

CPU mining

The main earnings on the MinerGate project are based on (CPU). By going to the “Downloads” section you can download mining software, depending on the number of bits of your operating system Windows (p. 3).

To find out how many bits there are in Windows 7, click “Start”, then “Computer”. Right-click on the free area below and click “Properties”. In the window that opens, you can see the bitness of your operating system (p. 4).

The main interface of the miners is represented by a convenient graphical control. But, there are also classic miners (Console Miners tab, p. 5).

How to use the MinerGate program

Installing the program is terribly simple, so I won’t dwell on it. After you have installed the software, click on the MinerGate shortcut. A window will open in front of you where you must enter your registration data from the pool (p. 6).

Next you will be taken to the MinerGate program control panel. By default you will find yourself in the “SMART MINER” section, by pressing the green button, the program will automatically determine the most profitable cryptocurrency for mining and will start mining it.

If you want to mine a specific “cryptocurrency”, then go to the “MINER” section. Here you can mine one of the proposed cryptocurrencies:

• Bytecoin (BCN);
• DashCoin (DSH);
• FantomCoin (FCN);
• Monero (XMR);
• MoneteVerde (MCN);
• DarkNote (XDN) and others.

Note . Full list all available toCryptocurrency mining CPU, you can see by clicking the “View” (p. 7). Here you can add or remove digital currencies from the main menu.

To , just click “Start mining” next to the currency you will mine (p. 8). A little to the right you can see collapsed “menus” with numbers. It is with the help of these numbers that you can increase the speed of cryptocurrency mining on the MinerGate pool.

In fact, these are not numbers taken out of thin air; from them you can determine the number of cores on your computer. It is important not to use the entire processor for mining, but to leave 1 - 2 cores free in order to avoid overload and save normal functioning computer. For example, I have 8 cores on my laptop, but I never use more than 6 for mining.

In this way you can mine up to 3 currencies at the same time. The mined cryptocurrency will be simultaneously displayed in the program window and on the pool website.

Please note that virtual money is not credited to your main account immediately. Initially, they accumulate on an unconfirmed balance ( Unconfirmed) and only then are transferred to the main account. The crediting of coins to your main account depends on the type of reward you choose (PPS or PPLNS). When using PPLNS, the balance will be confirmed only after the round is resolved and the found block is confirmed. PPS payment involves accumulation a certain amount on Unconfirmed balance.

Minimum verification requirements vary depending on the cryptocurrency. So, to transfer from an unconfirmed balance to the main one, you need to mine:

• Bytecoin - 20;
• Fantomcoin - 1;
• Monero - 0.005;
• DigitalNote - 1;
• Aeon - 0, 01, etc.

Mining on the site

This is the lowest income earning on the MinerGate website. Go to the website and click the “Web Mining” button at the top. Then select the cryptocurrency you like and click “Start” (p. 9). Here, none of the power of your hardware is used, but the income, as I already wrote, is very low. Comparing to:

• Web Mining. Hashrate - 1.2 H/s.
• . Hashrate: 22 - 25 H/s.

​

CPU mining and cloud mining (webmining), you can use at the same time.

How to withdraw money from the MinerGate pool

I think that every second user of the MinerGate project has difficulties with withdrawing funds. I remember at one time, me too more than an hour I spent some time trying to figure out how everything works here.

In general, the first thing you should understand is that you can withdraw from MinerGate only through Changelly exchanger . It's very easy to find. Click the Withdraw button on the site and at the very bottom of the window that opens you will see a link (p. 10).

2). On next page Click “Next” (p. 12). Indicate the wallet number to which you will withdraw money. For example, I indicated a BTC wallet (Blockchain).

3). We confirm the payment (p. 13).

4). Copy the address generated by the exchanger (p. 14).

5). Return to the MinerGate website, click “Withdraw” again, paste the copied address into the appropriate field, indicate the withdrawal amount and click the blue button below (p. 15).

6). Wait about 20 minutes and the money will arrive in your wallet!

 

) decided to go through the official Gatehub FAQ and clarify all the ambiguities. GateHub authentication is not required to use the wallet - GateHub lets you know the most important things right away. The identification process occurs differently for all users, since many do not know how to do it correctly. I think after this detailed instructions For individual and companies where everything is sorted out step by step - there will be no questions left.

What ID should I upload and what should the image ID be

Preferably international passport, where is everyone the leading edge is clearly visible, and not visually obscured, cropped, or manipulated in any way. Download Full color HD image with proper lighting . Maximum size file - 5 MB. Supported formats: jpeg, jpg, pdf, png.

Now it’s clear why some people have a Russian passport to pass verification; a foreign passport is more preferable, but not required.

What is acceptable as proof of residence

Proof of Residence (POR) is proof that you live at the address you entered with your personal information. It should clearly show your name, address and date of issue (no more than 3 months). The most suitable form of POR is extract With bank account on English language . Your personal bank should be able to provide such a document (make sure you disable any confidential information!). Bill to utilities or government document is also acceptable if it meets the specified criteria.

What types of images should you avoid when uploading?

All your downloads and personal data are encrypted, except for your name and profile picture. Avoid setting your personal ID as your profile picture as other users see it. If you have already done this, we strongly recommend that you change your profile. In general, don't post yours. personal information on any public media.

How long will the verification process take?

The verification process may take up to 5 business days. A high influx of new registrations may prolong the verification process. Please note that GateHub authentication is not required to use the wallet. A verified account is not required for cryptocurrency transactions. However, bank transactions are reserved for fully verified accounts only.

5. Click "Enable 2-Step Verification."

Connecting to GateHub Gateway

Once you connect to GateHub, you will be prompted for confirmation. Our verification team will process your account and get back to you. This will complete the registration process.

Today I will talk about a wonderful plugin for Google Chrome And Mozilla Firefox , which will allow you without problems access sites blocked by your ISP.
Many of you have probably heard that Roskomnadzor has the right to block any Internet sites that in any way violate the laws of our country. More precisely, Roskomnadzor obliges Internet providers to block these sites. And providers naturally comply with this requirement.

And then one day, when you go to a website, you may see the inscription: “Blocked by decision of federal executive authorities,” or “The resource at the specified IP address is blocked by decision of government authorities,” or something similar.

In fact, getting around this ban is not at all difficult. One of the simplest and convenient ways is installing the friGate plugin in browsers Mozilla Firefox And Google Chrome.

I note that this extension without problems opens sites that are included in the list compiled by the developers. Therefore, it will not open absolutely all existing sites. But there is no problem with this: in the settings you can add the desired site to own list, and it will be immediately unlocked.

So, I'll tell you more how to use the friGate plugin.

Let's start with my favorite Mozilla browser Firefox:

You need to launch your browser and install the extension on it, available at this link.

After installation, an icon will appear on the toolbar:

Now we go to a site blocked by the provider. In my case, this is the bookmaker's website liga-stavok.com:If the site is not unblocked automatically, then do the following:

Click left click on the friGate icon in the browser. Place the mouse cursor over the first item “site NOT from the list” - then click “ add site to list”:
After this, again left-click on the friGate icon - move the cursor to the first line and select “ on proxy permanently for the site”:
After that, refresh the page - the site should open.

Now about how to work with the friGate plugin if you use Google Chrome:

Launch your browser and install the extension available at this link.

Once it is installed, an icon will appear on the toolbar:
Now we go to a site blocked by the provider. In my case, this is the same bookmaker’s website liga-stavok.com.

If the site is not unblocked automatically, then you need to add it to the list manually:

Click on the friGate icon right mouse button and select “ Options”:A page with settings for accessing sites will open. At first let's create our own list:

First of all, we give the list a name: I simply wrote “ Websites” (if the name of your list will consist of several words, then do not separate them with spaces - it is better to use an underscore). Next, press the button “ Add list”:

Here's what happened:

We go to our list by simply clicking on it. Adding the site name, access to which is blocked by the provider. As suggested here, it is better to immediately add a domain with subdomains, for example: *.liga-stavok.com instead of www.liga-stavok.com.

After writing the name of the site, make sure that the item “ proxy is always enabled”, and press the “ button Add site”:
Website added:

After that, refresh the page - the blocked site should open.

Please note that you can add as many sites as you like to your list. At any time, you can remove a site from the list or simply disable the friGate plugin for it.

That's all for today. I described it in a separate article - I recommend you read it.

Minergate is a mining pool created by a group of cryptocurrency enthusiasts. Minergate is the first pool that offers combined mining services - in the process of mining crypto money in this pool, you can generate various coins at the same time, without reducing the hashrate for mining the main currency.

Where to download the Minergate program

• Download Minergate itself latest version you can on the official website Minergate.com/downloads

Features and benefits of MinerGate

• The most profitable mining pool;
• The easiest cross-platform miner to manage;
• Support for combined mining;
• Support for all cryptocurrency miners.

Now we will tell you how to work correctly in this pool and how to use the cryptocurrencies earned during the mining process.

Mining profitability calculator

Before you start mining useful coins, we recommend calculating your theoretical profit. The site has a calculator that will allow you to calculate the profitability of mining BTC, LTC and other cryptocurrencies (Bytecoin, Monero, FantomCoin, QuazarCoin, DarkNote, MonetaVerde, Aeon coin, Dashcoin, Infinium-8).

Minergate calculator

How to use the calculator:

1. Select currency;
2. Enter your hashrate information;
3. Check mining profitability.

How to set up and use Minergate

After downloading and installing the program, wait for the analysis process of your PC (computer capabilities). This will happen automatically in 9 steps - everything will be shown in the software window. Time approximately 2 minutes.

Minergate benchmark
Minergate smart mining

Naturally, you can turn on and off the mining of other money yourself by simply clicking on the arrow next to them.

Minergate crypto list

The selected crypto will immediately light up green and the time and profit numbers will appear. Very small at first, but growing over time))

Minergate - achievements page

From time to time, pop-up windows with your achievements will appear - but we immediately turn off this circus by checking the appropriate box.

How to create a wallet and withdraw money

You can open a wallet through the Minergate program by switching to the Wallet tab. But this is not necessary, since withdrawal of mining is also possible through the Ru.minergate.com pool itself (the link was above). We recommend withdrawing to the Polonix exchange.

Minergate wallet in the program

Once you have prepared all the details for withdrawal on the Poloniex exchange, you can start making withdrawals from the Minergate pool. Once you create a withdrawal order, it will take some time before your funds are credited to your balance on the exchange. Once the funds are credited, you can exchange them for the cryptocurrencies of your choice, such as Bitcoin.

1. Register with Minergate.
2. Download, install and run the miner program. Use the miner while your PC is working or idle. The miner supports both CPU and GPU mining (processor and video card).
3. Mine all cryptocurrencies (simultaneously or separately) except FantomCoin, QuazarCoin and Infinium-8. They are difficult to exchange.
4. Register on the Poloniex exchange.
5. Generate all personal identifiers for each CryptoNote currency except FantomCoin, QuazarCoin and Infinium-8.
6. Withdraw funds from Minergate to the Poloniex exchange using the details received in Poloniex.
7. After the exchange, you can withdraw funds to your personal Bitcoin wallet.

How much can you earn from mining?

On tests with the configuration AMD computer 6300 with 6 cores with 3.4 GHz and 8 GB of memory and without the help of a video card (it’s too weak), in a couple of hours we managed to mine about 5 BCN bytecoins on just 2 cores (you can switch them yourself and allocate the number for work). That is, 0.1 dollar or 6 rubles. A trifle - but nice!

Video about MinerGate: registration, installation, configuration and withdrawal of funds

Well, if the power and number of video cards allows it, try it
