Nanopool setup, review and rating

Description and list of coins

Nanopool was created on August 21, 2015. The pool makes it possible to mine the presented coins both in solo (one coin) and in dual (2 coins at the same time with a proportional distribution of power between them).

List of coins and minimum withdrawal:

Please note that Nano Pool has released its Beta platform called - picopool, on which you can mine Firo cryptocurrency.

Picopool is a beta project where Nano Pool developers are implementing new features.

Step 1. Select Coins

The main page contains a list of coins that can be mined on this pool. For each coin it is indicated:

1. Pool Hashrate
2. The number of users mining the coin (Miners Count)
3. Price
4. Withdrawal range: from the minimum amount to the maximum for one withdrawal (Payouts)
5. Algorithm

In 2021, the pool added new cryptocurrencies for mining:

• Conflux
• Firo

At the same time, 2 other coins were removed:

• Electronium
• Siacoin

This is how the updated main page of the site looks like:

Select the desired coin and click on the "Overview" button. A new page will open with the coin you have selected.

Step 2. Create a digital wallet

Once you have selected a coin, you need to create a digital wallet for it.

You can create a digital wallet on any exchange that supports this coin. If you do not want to register on the exchange, you can download a cold wallet for the selected coin.

Step 3. Familiarize yourself with the Nanopool interface

After the digital wallet is created, go to the website https://nanopool.org /, select the coin you need for mining (for example, Etherium), click "Overview" and go to the section of the selected coin.

1. Countdown to a new era of the DAG file
2. Main sections of the site (menu)
3. Choosing the currency in which your income (and estimated income) will be displayed
4. The address bar where you need to insert the address of your digital wallet. To track the statistics of your mining farm
5. The main characteristics of the pool: power, number of miners, price, and so on.
6. Twitter - latest pool news

In the upper left corner there is a countdown "Next DAG Epoch", to understand what it is and why it is needed, you need to find out what a DAG file is.

Next are the main sections of the pool: Home page, Statistics, Blocks, API, Frequently Asked Questions, Help, Pools.

In the upper right corner there is an address bar "Address" and a button "Search". There you need to insert the number of your digital wallet created for the selected coin. Now the pool knows where to withdraw the coins extracted by your equipment.

Just below the main sections are the tabs: "Pool Hashrate" - the larger it is, the better, "Blocks mined", "Miners", "Workers", "Price" (price for 1 ETH coin).

In the middle are the top miners, those who extract the most ETH on Nanopool. On the right is the official Twitter of the pool.

Step 4. Download the miner

To start mining coins on the pool, you need to install a miner - a special program for mining cryptocurrencies.

On our website you can download any program for coins mined on Nanopool.

Please note that each article about the miner has a detailed description:

1. All command
2. Settings
3. Launch
4. Downvolting
5. Solving errors
6. And much more

You can also download the miner, which was invented by the developers of Nanoopol themselves.

Please note that the Claymore program is outdated and can no longer mine the Et hash algorithm! Download other programs such as: Phoenix Miner.

After the file is downloaded, it needs to be unzipped (this can be done using the Winrar program).

Step 5. Nanopool ethereum - setting up the Bat file.

If you downloaded the program from our website, it will take you a couple of seconds to configure it, since the file already has Bat files configured for different pools, including Nanopool.

All you will need to do is replace digital wallets with your own!

Open the unzipped folder and scroll down to the bat files ending in ".bat". Files that are written using "+" (for example, "start_etc+pasc.bat") are configured for mining in dual, that is, for mining two coins at the same time.

In the folder, select the configured Bat file for Nanopool, in our case it is "1_ehereum-nanopool.bat". Click on it with the right mouse button and click on the "edit" button.

The finished Bat file for mining on Nanopool looks like this (Phoenix miner program):

PhoenixMiner.exe -pool eth-eu2.nanopool.org:9999 -wal 0xBE912237AB3C8385400519r7Q0c343Aca9194701 -worker Phoenix -epsw x -mode 1 -Rmode 1 -log 0 -mport 0 -etha 0 -retrydelay 1 -tt 79 -tstop 89 -tstart 79 -coin eth
pause

Let's analyze in detail all the entered values.

1. PhoenixMiner.exe - this key indicates which program will be launched. We leave it as it is.
2. -pool eth-eu2.nanopool.org - pool server. Change to another pool or leave ethermine.
3. :9999 pool port
4. -wal is the address of your digital wallet.
5. -worker Rig1 is the name of your farm worker. Used for the convenience of tracking statistics on the pool. You can specify any pool you like.
6. -pass x - password on the pool. Almost never used on pools. The x value means there is no password.

The remaining settings are responsible for the speed of the cooler, overheating of the card and other settings. You can find them in the Phoenix Miner article.

After you have replaced the wallet with your own, click on the cross and save the document. Next, click on the modified Bat file with the left mouse button (run it).

That's it, the miner setup is complete! You are mining Ethereum on Nanopool.

Step 6. Withdrawal of funds (auto-payment)

To set up automatic withdrawal of funds to the digital wallet you specified, you must:

1. Go to the Nanopool website in the section of the selected coin.
2. In the upper right corner, insert the number of the digital wallet specified in the bat file into the address bar "Address". Click on the button next to "Search".
3. In the new window that opens, click on the "Settings" button. A pop-up window will open.
4. Enter in the column "Password (email)" - the password (email) that was invented when changing the bat file.
5. In the column "Minimum payout" we enter the number of minimum payments *. When your farm mines the minimum value you set, the pool will automatically send this amount to your digital wallet.

How to enter Email on Nanopool

In order to change the auto-payment (to the threshold you specified) You must specify the Email address in your Bat file.

The finished Bat file with Email looks like this:

PhoenixMiner.exe -pool eth-eu2.nanopool.org:9999 -wal 0xBE912237AB3C8385400519r7Q0c343Aca9194701.Phoenixminer/[email protected] -worker Phoenix -epsw x -mode 1 -Rmode 1 -log 0 -mport 0 -etha 0 -retrydelay 1 -tt 79 -tstop 89 -tstart 79 -coin eth
pause

As you can see, it is almost no different, the only difference is that after -ewal, the name of your farm is written through a dot, and after a slash, the Email is indicated.

Please note that nothing will be sent to the Email address entered in the Bat file. It is needed just for confirmation, as a password.

If you have been mining for a long time before and want to change the threshold– it does not matter. Just restart the modified Bat files (with the entered Email address) and wait from 20 minutes to an hour. After that, the pool will understand that all your Workers have the same Email address and will give you the opportunity to set any minimum payout.

If you have many Nanopool farms mining at once, you will have to apply it to them all at the same time (run the modified Bat file with the same Email address).

If it is not possible to make changes, then check whether the same Email is specified everywhere. If there is no error, write in the comments under this article, we will definitely help you.

Conclusion

Nanopool is a very convenient pool with a clear interface. The advantages of the pool include:

• lack of registration (to view statistics, just enter the wallet number)
• setting up the pool takes a few minutes
• at the bottom of the pool page there is an automatic online calculator where you can calculate how much you get in rubles / USD or Btc for: minute, hour, day, week, month.

The disadvantages include the periodic drawdown of the ping, which characterizes the suspension of the pool.
