How to GPU Mine Quai (Windows & Hive OS)

In this complete step-by-step guide, I show you how to GPU mine Quai (QUAI) from start to finish using both Windows and Hive OS. Quai is a newer cryptocurrency that’s been gaining attention thanks to recent network upgrades and fast block times — making it surprisingly fun and effective to mine, even with a single GPU. I’ll also show you how to overlock your NVIDIA GPUs and what wallet to use to store your quai. I also explain why KAWPOW behaves differently at varying block heights, how that impacts hash rate and efficiency, and how to properly tune NVIDIA GPUs (30, 40, and 50-series) to get the best performance per watt when mining Quai.
