Frequently Asked Questions
Getting Started
- 1. Click on Create account from the home page, and select an account name:
- 2. Provide your email address and password.
- 3. Wait for the verification link in your inbox and verify your account.
Once you verify the email address via the link, you will be directed to your account settings, where you can enable additional security settings and/or add sub-accounts.
- 4. You can now scroll down from the accounts page to view the network settings for the coin you want to mine; for this example, BCH.
- 5. Or you can get the coin's server/port settings from the home page or from the Adding miners page. For this example, we’re using the SHA-256 algorithm with BCH settings for the default port.
- 6. Set your miner's firmware to the stratum port shown in the left column under Network Settings. For this example, you need to set your miner's firmware stratum ports to stratum+tcp://stratum.hashpoolpro.com:4666 as primary in line 1, and stratum+tcp://stratum.hashpoolpro.com:5666 as secondary port. We recommend using a different pool for the third line in your firmware as a fallback in case you lose connectivity to our pool for any reason. You can click on the copy icon next to the port to copy and paste those settings into your firmware.
- 7. Name your miner via your firmware's user interface and either select a password or leave the password field blank.
- 8. Save your settings in your miner's firmware and wait a couple of minutes for your miner to show up in the pool Miners Table and start mining.
- 9. Add your payout wallet addresses for the parent coin and additional bonus coins (child coins, merged coins or AuxPoW coins) under the Account settings link that you can access under the accounts tab, or you can click on your account icon in the upper right-hand corner of your screen to find those settings. Your mining rewards will accumulate immediately even if you don’t have all your wallet addresses available at this time. You can go back later and complete the process.
- 10. Once your miner is connected, you can change your default coin settings and available payout models within the pool through our group management settings under the Miners tab.
- 11. The entire process should take no more than 3 minutes to get up and running!
