How to mine Bitcoin Cash BCH
10/18/2024
Bitcoin Cash is a cryptocurrency that emerged in 2017 as a result of a Bitcoin hard fork. It was created to address scalability issues, offering faster transactions and lower fees by increasing the block size. Over time, Bitcoin Cash has become a popular alternative for those looking for more affordable and quicker cryptocurrency transactions.
Kryptex Pool supports mining Bitcoin Cash using various SHA256 ASIC devices.
GPUs and CPUs, however, aren't capable of mining Bitcoin Cash, as they simply lack the necessary processing power.
Kryptex Pool uses PPS+ payout scheme.

Create a Bitcoin Cash BCH Wallet
To start Bitcoin Cash mining, you should have a wallet address. You can create your wallet or obtain a wallet address from a cryptocurrency exchange.
For prolonged storage, we recommend using your own wallets.
Alternatively, you can mine directly to your Kryptex account and withdraw cryptocurrency through various methods: in USDT starting from 1.5 dollars, in Bitcoin, in Ethereum, AdvCash wallet or even Amazon (US) eGift card. The process is explained in detail in our article.
Connecting to the Pool: Step-by-Step Guide
Let's take the Bitmain Antminer ASIC as an example.
- Access the control panel of your ASIC.
- Navigate to the settings section, typically labeled "Miner Configuration" or "Settings".
- Input the following settings:
- URL of the BCH mining pool:
stratum+tcp://bch.kryptex.network:7777
- Worker: Enter the wallet address for mining and the worker name in the format
Wallet_Address.Worker_Name
. The worker's name should comprise numbers and Latin letters, excluding spaces or special characters. - For instance:
1KVms9T3RKmz6sVCeUPFPFgpYzMj9LZ5rE.Antminer_S9D
where:1KVms9T3RKmz6sVCeUPFPFgpYzMj9LZ5rE
— represents the Bitcoin Cash wallet address.Antminer_S9D
is the chosen name for your worker in free form. - Ensure you use wallet format Bitcoin Cash Legacy (
1KVms9T3RKmz6sVCeUPFPFgpYzMj9LZ5rE
) or CashAddr (bitcoincash:qpm2qsznhks23z7629mms6s4cwef74vcwvy22gdx6a
). - Password: This field is optional. You can either enter

or leave it blank.
- URL of the BCH mining pool:
- If needed, replicate these settings across all three profiles. This ensures that the ASIC will reconnect to the pool and resume operations in case of a connection loss.
- Save and apply the settings, then reboot the ASIC.
