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 USERNAME to your registered username.

USERNAME=$ADDRESS.RIG_NAME
POOL=mine.thegrinpool.com:4747
SCHEME=cuckaroo29m
