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!

We will tell you how to distribute the hashrate between algorithms and optimize dual-mining.

Dual mining ERGO + IRON FISH on Kryptex Pool

There are various algorithm combinations available for dual mining, but we will discuss one of the most profitable options, which involves using ERGO + IRON FISH on the Nvidia RTX 3060 graphics card with the Gminer as the example.

1. Download the miner and create a .bat file

2. Within the batch file, we specify a command that connects to both ERGO and IRON FISH Kryptex Pools simultaneously. miner.exe --algo autolykos2 --server erg.kryptex.network:7777 --user wallet/worker --dalgo ironfish --dserver iron.kryptex.network:7777 --duser wallet/worker where:

   • miner.exe --algo autolykos2 --server erg.kryptex.network:7777 --user wallet/worker — connection settings for the first ERGO coin.

   • --dalgo ironfish --dserver iron.kryptex.network:7777 --duser wallet/worker — connection settings for the second IRON FISH coin.

   • wallet — your crypto wallet address, that you have registered earlier. Each coin has its own wallet.

   • worker — the name of your mining rig, which will be displayed on the pool.

   • An example: miner.exe --algo autolykos2 --server erg.kryptex.network:7777 --user 9fEqoLLD5hz2c11uA7dk5eqe1YzPEr25GrgwdR2HLCuzPqWQCz5/MyFirstRig --dalgo ironfish --dserver iron.kryptex.network:7777 --duser 34d4fa52195a4a08ce54497b3e027a3d044d84b23be7f1c0780c40d01589e6e0/MyFirstRig

     

3. That’s it! Let’s start mining.

   • The miner will show us initial settings:

     

   • While mining, we will observe that we are simultaneously mining two algorithms. For each of these algorithms, the miner displays a summary of the hashrate and the shares found.

     

Which coins are available for dual mining?

There are numerous algorithm combinations available, and they rely on the compatibility of the coins and the capabilities of the mining software.

• ETC + IRON FISH
• ETHW + IRON FISH
• ERGO + IRON FISH
• CFX + IRON FISH
• CFX + KARLSEN
• ETC + KARLSEN
• ERG + KARLSEN
• ETHW + KARLSEN
• CFX + PYRIN
• ERG + PYRIN

Here are examples that include settings for batch files:
