How To Start Mining

Step 1: Download Mining Software

We recommend using either Bminer (Nvidia), Minerbabe (AMD/Nvidia), or GrinPro (AMD/Nvidia).

Step 2: Edit Configuration File

There should be a config file included with the mining software (e.g. mine_grin.sh, config.xml). Update miner login with your email address, password is ignored. Once you start mining, you should receive an email with your payout password.
Do not use an email address you don't own, or one that is not secured by 2FA.

Sample configurations:


                                                    #!/bin/sh

                                                    # Change the following email address to YOUR email address.

                                                    ADDRESS=my@email.com

                                                    USERNAME=$ADDRESS.RIG_NAME

                                                    POOL=mine.thegrinpool.com:4747

                                                    SCHEME=cuckaroo29

                                                    PWD=x

                                                    ./bminer -uri $SCHEME://$USERNAME:$PWD@$POOL -api 127.0.0.1:1880
