4. Hardware Setup

ASIC Miners

1. Stratum URL

2. Create a worker.

Create a worker in the form of "userid.workerId" and any password (optional) for it. The worker ID must consist of numbers and lowercase letters and contain no more than 64 characters.

3. Mining configuration. Take, for example, Antminer. After logging in, go to "Status" - "Miner Configuration" to configure the pool and click "Save and Apply" to get started.

To ensure a stable mining status, we recommend that all users install multiple ports, so miners will systematically switch to the next port and continue to work if one of them falls.

GPU Miners

(GPUs support mining of ETH, ETC, ZEC, XMR, CKB, LBC.)

We recommend installing multiple stratum URLs to ensure stable and steady operation. If one of them is inactive, the miner will consistently switch to the next one.

Recommended settings:

• Stratum URL 1: pool port ViaBTC 443
• Stratum URL 2: pool port 25 ViaBTC
• Stratum URL 3: address of another pool layer
