Change Windows 10 power settings
Hit the Windows key.
Type "power."
Choose "Power & Sleep" from the results.
Change both drop-down menus to "Never."

***notes
1. Update all your software here and devices here, and make sure your Microsoft Windows System software is updated too.
2. Download the appropriate mining software from github (antivirus/anti malware will block the download, add to exceptions list) that matches your hardware and windows operating system (i.e xp, 7, 8 or 10 and 32bit or 64bit) the CUDA version of your GPU for optimal speed is also important, GPUz will help you find out what your GPU cuda version is.
3. COPY to Start.bat file and test run to see if your hardware is in fact mining >>>>

Two Main Pool Payment Systems: PPS vs. PPLNS
There are many different payout systems, but most pools use Pay Per Share (PPS) or Pay Per Last N Share (PPLNS). These determine how much a miner gets paid, what they get paid for actually doing, and whether they need to give the pool a portion of their earnings as a fee in return.
Pay Per Share (PPS)
PPS pools pay miners based on the number of shares they've contributed during a mining round (the time it takes to mine one block), even if the pool didn't mine a block that round.
Pay Per Last N Share (PPLNS)
PPLNS is not constrained to the round system, and PPLNS miners don't get paid based on how much overall hashpower they contribute. Each PPLNS pool establishes two things: a period within which shares will be paid, and the total number of shares (N) to be paid in that period (often it's twice the difficulty). PPLNS only pays miners for blocks that are actually mined.
Other Payout Structures
The following payout structures are, for the most part, variants of PPS and PPLNS that different pools have tweaked to suit their own needs. As you can see, many include “pay per share” in their title but have added some small adjustment to the rules, as desired.
PROP (Proportional): Proportional distribution of block reward among all miners, depending on how many shares each found.
FPPS - Full Pay Per Share: Similar to PPS, but as well as distributing the block reward, miners receive some of the transaction fees.
SMPPS (Shared Maximum Pay Per Share): A capped maximum flat rate, like PPS, but the flat rate only applies when the pool earns money. Otherwise, there is no payment.
ESMPPS (Equalized Shared Maximum Pay Per Share): Like the above SMPPS system, but payments are equalized among miners.
CPPSRB (Capped Pay Per Share with Recent Backpay): Bitcoin miners are paid as much as possible using a Maximum Pay Per Share reward system.
DGM - Double Geometric Method: Operators receive a portion of payout on short rounds and return some on long rounds to reduce risk and create a more stabilized payment system on average.
Score : A proportional reward depending on time of submission. Each submitted share is valued based on time of submission, making more recent shares more valuable, and diminishing the score of a miner who stops mining, encouraging loyalty and consistency. Slush Pool, the oldest pool, uses this system. - Score is BEST for SOLO GPU & CPU mining.
RSMPPS : Recent Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. This is like a hybrid SMPPS/Score system, a capped maximum rate that rewards recent shares over earlier shares.
PPLNSG : Pay Per Last N Groups (or shifts). PPLNS-like system where shares are grouped into shifts of workers and paid into those subgroups.
POT - Pay On Target: Modeled on PPS, this system pays out based on difficulty returned to the pool rather difficulty served out by the pool (input vs. output).
Triplemining: Merges multiple no-fee pools and pays out 1% of every block.
Should I choose PPS or PPLNS?
This is one of the common questions most miners have initially. Should I choose Pay Per Share or Pay Per Last N Share pools? If you are the person who don’t switch pools often then PPLNS is definitely for you as such pools are good at rewarding its loyal miners.
Pay Per Share: No matter what, if you need a fixed payouts at the end of the day to liquidate then our recommendation would be PPS. Pay Per Share works well for large mining farms who can calculate and have statistics based on their mining power. PPS is good for large miners but really bad for pool owners as there is a guaranteed payout for work no matter if the pool hits the block or not. For this reason and because of pool hoppers most of the mining pools have switched to PPLNS payment model.
Pay Per Last N Shares: If you are the one that is looking to accumulate and hold more coins then we are strongly recommending PPLNS. For each block that your pool finds, you will get a share based on your hashrate. Unlike PPS, in PPLNS you will get payouts more often and in the long run you will be rewarded more with PPLNS than PPS. However due to huge variance it’s really hard to calculate your mining income. PPLNS is good for both mid-range miners and pool owners as the payouts is only based on the blocks found. If your pool is more lucky then you’ll see payments more often. This is the reason why miners stick to a pool where there is more hash power assuming the pool finds block very often.
As with any profitable activity, there are some pretty substantial risks to be aware of when mining cryptocurrencies:
Losing your digital wallet
Dishonest mining pool organizers
Electricity costs could make your mining unprofitable
Hackers
The cryptocurrency you mine could drop in value
Good habits to adopt when mining for cryptocurrencies.
Store your coin wallet on a detachable memory drive, which you will detach from your computer and network when you’re not using it. Transfer your coins regularly from your online storage (if using a cloud mining service) into your detachable wallet so they do not accumulate online. Also develop a personal habit of backing up your wallet every two days and keep your password written down in a safe place. And please don’t click random twitter links promoting giveaways or airdrops.
A reputable mining pool/cloud service
Pools/cloud services with active online communities that have good reputations are your best bet. Hashflare, Genesis, Hashing24, Minex, Minergate, and NiceHash are just some of the most often mentioned ones.
Lock your electricity fees
Some electricity providers will allow you to lock in your per-kilowatt-hour fee for a year or two.
