Give your rig a heading
Mining software
Use software that matches the pool’s published Scrypt profile and your equipment. The pool instructions should be your source for exact configuration.
Before starting a worker
- Confirm that your equipment and miner support the required Scrypt work.
- Obtain the official pool endpoint and payout-address format.
- Use the release recommended by the pool operator for your platform.
- Keep a distinct worker name for each rig or service.
From connection to accepted shares
- Configure your worker
Enter the verified pool address, worker identifier and any operator-specified difficulty settings.
- Start the miner
Check that it connects and begins receiving work without repeated authentication errors.
- Confirm accepted work
Compare the miner’s accepted shares with the pool dashboard. An open connection alone does not show useful mining.
- Review rewards
Use the pool’s accounting and payout pages to trace what your worker has earned.
