Ethereum (ETH for short) is an open source public blockchain platform that integrates smart contract functions. At present, Ethereum adopts PoW consensus, the mining algorithm is Ethash (also known as DaggerHashimoto), and supports GPU mining machines and some customized mining machines for mining.
F2Pool supports Ethereum mining using username and Ethereum wallet address, and the mining benefits of the two participation methods are the same.
Mining equipment: GPU (NVIDIA or AMD, video memory not less than 6GB) and some ASIC mining machines.
Operating system: Windows, Linux.
Virtual memory: Set 6GB virtual memory for a single GPU (for example, set 36GB for 6 GPUs).
Mining software: minerOS, open source miner, PhoenixMiner, Bminer, lolMiner, NBMiner, GMiner, etc.
The Ethereum full-node wallet takes up a lot of hard disk space (more than 200GB). If necessary, you can search and download it yourself.
, , etc. Almost all exchanges support ETH deposit and trading, register the exchange, find ETH (the network chooses ERC20) to deposit, and you can get the wallet address.
Note: Countries have different regulatory policies on exchanges, and miners are responsible for relevant risks.
If you mine by username, please complete the account setup through the following methods:
Among them, the mining account name is the user name. When using the user name to mine, fill in the corresponding user name or sub-account name.
minerOS：The graphics card mining machine management system developed based on Linux supports batch management of mining machines in the cloud. The system ROM supports U disk and diskless installation, and has built-in third-party original mining software such as Claymore, Bminer, ccminer, and EWBF.
The settings of Easy Miner and Open Source Miner are relatively simple, so I won't introduce too much. It should be reminded that Easy Miner also supports f2pool username mining. You only need to set your f2pool username in the Easy Miner wallet.
Create an ETH mining template, the default mining pool is f2pool (account), fill in your username or ETH wallet address, and apply it to the mining machine.
Obtain the NBMiner mining software through the above methods, select "Extract the file to the current folder", and find or create a new batch file.
Right-click the batch file, select "Edit", and set the parameters as follows:
nbminer -a ethash -o stratum+tcp://eth.f2pool.com:6688 -u username.worker_name
where username is your username or ETH wallet address.
worker_name is the miner number, which can be customized such as number or letter combination (no Chinese characters or special characters).
When modifying, only modify the corresponding characters, and do not increase or decrease spaces and punctuation.
After verifying that the information is correct, save and exit the batch file, then double-click to run the modified batch file to start mining.
Obtain the GMiner mining software through the above methods, select "Extract the file to the current folder", and find or create a new batch file.
Right-click the batch file, select "Edit", and set the parameters as follows:
miner.exe --algo ethash --server eth.f2pool.com:6688 --user username.worker_name
where username is your username or ETH wallet address.
worker_name is the miner number, which can be customized such as number or letter combination (no Chinese characters or special characters).
When modifying, only modify the corresponding characters, and do not increase or decrease spaces and punctuation.
After verifying that the information is correct, save and exit the batch file, then double-click to run the modified batch file to start mining.
Obtain the PhoenixMiner mining software through the above methods, select "Extract the file to the current folder", and find or create a new batch file.
Right-click the batch file, select "Edit", and set the parameters as follows:
PhoenixMiner.exe -epool eth.f2pool.com:6688 -ewal username -worker worker_name -pass x
where username is your username or ETH wallet address.
worker_name is the miner number, which can be customized such as number or letter combination (no special characters).
When modifying, only modify the corresponding characters, and do not increase or decrease spaces and punctuation.
After verifying that the information is correct, save and exit the batch file, then double-click to run the modified batch file to start mining.
Obtain the Bminer mining software through the above methods, select "Extract the file to the current folder", and find or create a new batch file.
Right-click the batch file, select "Edit", and set the parameters as follows:
bminer -uri ethstratum://username.worker_name@eth.f2pool.com:6688
where username is your username or ETH wallet address.
worker_name is the miner number, which can be customized such as number or letter combination (no special characters).
When modifying, only modify the corresponding characters, and do not increase or decrease spaces and punctuation.
After verifying that the information is correct, save and exit the batch file, then double-click to run the modified batch file to start mining.
Obtain the lolMiner mining software through the above methods, select "Extract the file to the current folder", and find or create a new batch file.
Right-click the batch file, select "Edit", and set the parameters as follows:
lolMiner.exe --algo ETHASH --pool eth.f2pool.com:6688 --user username.worker_name
where username is your fishpond username or ETH wallet address.
worker_name is the miner number, which can be customized such as number or letter combination (no special characters).
When modifying, only modify the corresponding characters, and do not increase or decrease spaces and punctuation.
After verifying that the information is correct, save and exit the batch file, then double-click to run the modified batch file to start mining.
Innosilicon A10, A10Pro and other mining machines can be selected. Enter the IP address of the miner in the address bar of the computer browser, enter the background of the miner, or use the batch management software officially provided by the miner to set the following information:
Pool /URL：stratum+tcp://eth.f2pool.com:6688
User/Worker：Fishpond username.Miner ID (username and miner ID are separated by an English period "."; miner ID is custom, which can be a combination of numbers or letters, such as testf2.001)
Password: any setting, such as 123
After checking that the above information is correct, save the settings. After a while, the miner will start running, and you can enjoy the benefits.
The following ETH backup mining pool addresses are available:
stratum+tcp://eth.f2pool.com:6688
stratum+tcp://eth-backup.f2pool.com:6688
After the machine runs for a while and submits data to the mining pool, you can view the operating status and income of the mining machine.
If you have any questions about Ethereum mining and need help, you can consult customer service.
