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!

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

Dual mining ERGO + KASPA on the Kryptex PPS pool

There are various algorithm combinations available for dual mining, but we will discuss one of the most profitable options, which involves using ERGO + KASPA 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 KASPA Kryptex pools simultaneously. miner.exe --algo ergo --server erg.kryptex.network:7777 --user wallet/worker --dalgo kheavyhash --dserver kas.kryptex.network:7777 --duser wallet/worker where:

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

    • --dalgo kheavyhash --dserver kas.kryptex.network:7777 --duser wallet/worker — connection settings for the second KASPA 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 ergo --server erg.kryptex.network:7777 --user 9gjCdmPQZvaWaMr8PaJES2zhX8U3twVUywgnSQr3ZDuZh6whyno/MyRig --dalgo kheavyhash --dserver kas.kryptex.network:7777 --duser kaspa:qp8u4wzjhy5m8h63cz7kvczpdksd3cqghptf5nakghmue5ffqlvyusw30dgpg/MyRig

  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.

For instance, Gminer is a versatile miner that is compatible with both Nvidia and AMD graphics cards. However, it does not support KASPA mining on AMD cards, which means that dual mining ERGO + KASPA on AMD cards is impossible.

We hope that developers will find a solution to this issue soon. In the meantime, miners can use other software options such as TeamRedMiner for AMD or the versatile lolMiner.

Here are examples that include settings for batch files:
