ETH / ETC (Ethereum / Ethereum Classic) Mining Tutorial

1. ETH/ETC mining on F2Pool is registration-free and adopts the PPS capital preservation distribution mode;

2. See the Help page at https://www.f2pool.com/help for PPS rate, F2Pool mining address, 24-hour theoretical income and more information.

3. Account is settled automatically from GMT 8:00 am . Payment is made to the specified address within 8 hours after the settlement. Payment is made once per day. Payment threshold is 0.1ETH/ETC.

4. No real-time incomes would arrive at the address of a remittee who has just started mining until “share accepted” is shown in the mining software.

5. Mining pool delay as seen in the mining software is normally smaller than 2000 ms, or should be smaller than 500 ms under good networking condition. Please inspect your networking if it exceeds this figure.

6. Mining profit and all workers’ hashrate can be viewed by filling out your wallet address in search bar right above of F2Pool official website and clicking “Go”. 


After installing system and setting up the mining environment , download tools and software required for mining.

1. Set parameters in mining software

Unzip/Unrar the downloaded mining software.

(1) Single mining

Open the folder with mining software, find and right click on “start-单挖.bat”, and select “Edit”. Codes in the file “start-单挖.bat” are shown in the below figure.

To mine ETH, you need to modify wallet address and worker number. To mine ETC, you need to modify mining pool address in addition into etc.f2pool.com:8008.

Please modify worker number by yourself according to your own situation; it is typically suggested that machine bear certain relation to miner’s IP or number. Fill in the receipt address of ETH for mining ETH, whereas the receipt address of ETC for mining ETC.

Parameters Specification:

 -epool      #Fill in F2Pool ETH or ETC mining pool address

 -ewal       #Fill in ETH or ETC receipt address

 -eworker    #Fill in worker number in lowercases or digits or their combination

 -epsw       #Fill in an arbitrary password

 -dbg        #Output logs into file, -1 denotes closing the feature of log output

Below is the command line for single mining of ETH. Simply change the wallet address and worker into your own:

EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool eth.f2pool.com:8008 -ewal wallet_address -epsw x -eworker rig3571 -estale 0 -asm 2 -dcri 14

Below is the command line for single mining of ETC. Simply change the wallet address and worker into your own (Wallet address for ETH differs from wallet address for ETC, and both cannot be mixed):

EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool etc.f2pool.com:8118 -ewal wallet_address -epsw x -eworker rig3571 -estale 0 -asm 2 -dcri 14

(2) ETH + SC double mining:

Open the folder with mining software, find and right click on “start-双挖.bat”, and select “Edit”.

The Edit page is shown as in the below figure. Change the 4 items marked in the figure into your own, next save the modification by navigating “File/Save”, and close the window.

Parameters Specification:

-epool     #Fill in F2Pool ETH mining pool address
-ewal      #Fill in ETH receipt address
-epsw      #Fill in an arbitrary ETH worker password
-eworker   #Fill in ETH worker number in lowercases or digits or their combination
-estale    #Send delayed shares to the mining pool. 0 denotes not sending and 1 denotes sending
-dpool     #Fill in SC mining pool address
-dwal      #Fill in SC receipt address. SC worker number
-dpsw      #Fill in an arbitrary SC worker password
-dcri      #Work intensity of the second currency, which is 30 by default and which can be adjusted on the premise of not affecting the computing power of ETH in order to gain the optimal SC mining speed, typically set between 20 and 30
-dcoin     #The second currency mined in double mining mode
-Dbg       #Output logs into file, -1 denotes closing the feature of log output
-tt	       #set target GPU temperature. For example, "-tt 80" means 80C temperature. You can also specify values for every card, for example "-tt 70,80,75".
-cclock	   #set target GPU core clock speed, in MHz. If not specified or zero, miner will not change current clock speed. You can also specify values for every card, for example "-cclock 1000,1050,1100,0".
-mclock    #set target GPU memory clock speed, in MHz. If not specified or zero, miner will not change current clock speed. You can also specify values for every card, for example "-mclock 1200,1250,1200,0".

Below is a code segment for double mining of ETH plus SC. Simply change the wallet address and worker into your own:

EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool eth.f2pool.com:8008 -ewal wallet_address -epsw x -eworker 001 -estale 0 -dpool sc.f2pool.com:7777 -dwal wallet_address.worker_name -dpsw x -dcri 30 -dcoin sia -dbg -1

Below is a code segment for double mining of ETC plus SC. Simply change the wallet address and worker into your own (Wallet address for ETH differs from wallet address for ETC, and both cannot be mixed):

EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool etc.f2pool.com:8118 -ewal wallet_address -epsw x -eworker 001 -estale 0 -dpool sc.f2pool.com:7777 -dwal wallet_address.worker_name -dpsw x -dcri 30 -dcoin sia -dbg -1

Double click on “start.bat” to start mining。
