00:00to show the hidden icons.
00:02That shield icon is your windows security.
00:05Double clicking it opens the dashboard.
00:08Click on Virus and Threat Protection.
00:10Go down to Virus and Threat Protection Settings and click Manage Settings.
00:16Scroll all the way down to the bottom of that page until you see the Exclusions header,
00:20and click Add or Remove Exclusions.
00:23Click the big Add an Exclusion button, select Folder from the drop down, navigate to your
00:29desktop, and choose that Cryptex Miner folder that we just made.
00:34Now Windows knows to completely leave this folder alone.
00:37When you download the Cryptex Miner v5, save it directly inside this folder to prevent
00:42Windows from deleting your mining software.
00:45Alright now open your browser and head over to Cryptex.com.
00:49The easiest way I've found to do this is on the dashboard.
00:52Scroll all the way down to the bottom and click Cryptex Miner.
00:56Go up and click Download Cryptex Miner.
01:00When the Save As window pops up, navigate to that brand new Exclusion folder that we just
01:05set up on the desktop, and save that new mining file directly in there.
01:10Be patient and let it finish.
01:14Open it up when it's ready.
01:17Here's the old Windows Protected popup.
01:20Go ahead and click Run Anyway.
01:22Once the download finishes, it launches automatically.
01:26Cryptex v5 is completely different from older versions.
01:29There is no setup wizard.
01:30It immediately opens and asks you to sign in.
01:34Go ahead and enter your account info so you get paid for your hashes.
01:38Or create an account if you don't already have one.
01:41The moment you sign in, Cryptex gets right to work and actually starts mining automatically
01:45using a quick start profile.
01:47It's a great beginner feature, but before you walk away we have to fix a hidden trap.
01:52Even though we saved the app to our save folder, Cryptex silently downloaded the actual third-party
01:57miners like XMRig and SRBminer into a hidden folder on your computer.
02:02If we don't tell Windows to ignore that folder too, Windows Defender will eventually delete
02:07them and break your setup.
02:08But first things first, like any sane person, we check the hashrate, we go into the settings,
02:15and we go to dark mode.
02:18Save those eyes baby, much better.
02:23Back into Virus and Threat Protection, we're going to click Manage Settings, and then go
02:28down to Add or Remove Exclusions.
02:30Add a new folder exclusion, type the % sign, the word appdata, and another % sign.
02:39Then hit enter.
02:41Find the Cryptex folder, select it, and you are officially protected.
02:47Now that your miners are safe, if you want to move past the default quick start and perfectly
02:51optimize your profits for your specific hardware, just head into the settings to run the full
02:56extended benchmark.
03:16Once all that finishes, you get this incredibly clean interface.
03:20We can see our GPU stats live, and right now, it is pointing our hashrate at the profitable
03:25Perl network.
03:27Now if you want to maximize your passive income, you don't just want to run your gaming PC
03:31at stock settings.
03:32It pulls too much power and generates unnecessary heat.
03:36Traditionally we had to use external tools like MSI Afterburner to dial in our clocks, but
03:41one of the best new features in Cryptex V5 is that it has a native GPU overclocking menu
03:47built right into the app.
03:49By clicking that gear settings icon next to your GPU and selecting the Perl network, you can
03:54customize your settings.
03:56For an algorithm like Perl, bumping up the core clock and locking the memory clock offset
04:00can keep your system running cool, incredibly efficient, and wicked quiet.
04:05What makes this completely foolproof for beginners is that you can set overclocking profiles for
04:10each GPU and each coin individually.
04:13The second Cryptex switches algorithms, it will automatically apply your saved profile behind
04:17the scenes.
04:19Once you dial in your numbers, you don't even have to guess if it works.
04:23Cryptex lets you run a 3 minute targeted test right from the GPU settings menu to make sure
04:27your rig is stable before you even walk away.
04:30This is a huge W for Cryptex.
04:32This is a huge W for Cryptex.
04:32This is a huge W.
04:33This is a huge W for Cryptex.
