Dual mining setting

22/02/2023

In our articles, we have already explained how to start mining on our pools and how to register cryptocurrency wallets for mining. Now, we will provide instructions on how to set up dual mining.

Dual mining is the process of mining two cryptocurrencies at the same time on one graphics card.

Benefits of dual mining:

  1. Increased profitability — dual mining can increase mining profits by up to 25% compared to regular mining.
  2. Reduced electricity costs — while mining two cryptocurrencies, electricity consumption may be lower or the same as when mining coins separately, while total revenue will be higher.
  3. Protection against failures — if there are issues with one of the algorithms, miners can switch to the other algorithm. The equipment will not remain idle and will continue to be profitable.
  4. Opportunities for your growth — dual mining allows you to learn about different mining algorithms, work with different coins, and study new properties of miners. You gain new knowledge while being paid for it!

Which coins can be mined in dual mining?

Many combinations of algorithms depend on both the compatibility of the coins and the capabilities of the miner programs.

At the time of writing, the most profitable combinations for dual mining are CFX+PYI, ERG+PYI, and IRON+PYI. These combinations offer a promising opportunity for increased earnings. New coins and their combinations are updated frequently. You can download miners with ready-made batch files for dual mining from the website miner.download.

We recommend using the miner Rigel for Nvidia video cards, and for AMD cards, we recommend the miner SRBMiner.

How to set up dual mining

  1. Go to the website miner.download and download the required miner for your operating system (Windows or Linux).

    • For Nvidia video cards, download the miner Rigel.

    • For AMD video cards, download the miner SRBMiner.

  2. Unpack the downloaded archive and find the batch file for the required dual mining. For example, if you want to mine CFX+PYI, right-click on the batch file Start-CFX+PYI.bat and click "Edit".

  3. A notepad with settings will open. Replace the example wallet addresses for CFX and PYI with your wallet addresses that you registered earlier.

  4. Save the changes to the file, close it, and run it. You're all set to start dual mining!

Examples of ready-made batch files for dual mining

It's crucial to replace the provided wallet addresses in the examples with your own wallet addresses. This ensures that you receive the rewards for your mining efforts and maintains the security of your earnings.
