Today, Bitmain announced that it has opened up access to its Ethereum Classic & Ethereum mining pool at pool.btc.com:
https://www.coindesk.com/bitmains-btc-com-is-launching-an-ethereum-mining-pool/
At the time of writing this post, they had not yet provided any instructions for setting this up on your rig, but I went ahead and figured it out for us 😃
- Head over to http://pool.btc.com and create an account (if you don't already have one)
- After you are logged in, click the drop down in the top menu and click create
- Create a sub-account name, and complete the rest of the requirements on the page, then click the button at the bottom. Note: the only Etheruem servers that are available at the moment are located in China, so make sure to choose that 🤔
- When done, go to dashboard and scroll down - you will see the Mining Addresses section - usinging that information, that is how you can use your miner to connect to their servers and begin mining right now
Here is an example of the command I used in the Claymore Miner, start.bat:
C:\Users\xxx...\claymore\EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool cn-eth.ss.btc.com:1800 -ewal 0xYOURETHEREUMADDRESS1234 -eworker your_worker.001 -allpools 1 -epsw x -tt -0
And there you have it - a way to be one of the first to mine Ethereum on Bitmain's new pool.btc.com Ethereum pool.
Enjoy 😎
