Mining Server Addresses

Getting Started

1. Get a Siacoin address
   • You can grab the Sia client and use it to generate an address.

   • Alternatively, you can use an exchange address (e.g. Bittrex, HitBTC, Poloniex, or ShapeShift). Keep in mind that from time to time exchanges may be temporarily unaccessible due to wallet maintenance.

2. Get a compatible miner

   • ASIC miners come with their own software, which is usually configured over your local network. We expect all (Blake2b) ASICs to support SiaMining's Stratum protocol (port 3333). The server addresses that you can use are listed at the top of this page. Some miners allow you to specify more than one, for failover.

   • GPU mining is now unprofitable, but if you want to give it a try anyway you can still use Marlin.

3. Connect to the pool

   You must use your Siacoin address as the username; you can optionally specify a worker name (to help you keep track of your miners) by adding it after a single dot (.). A full username would therefore be of the form YourSiacoinAddress.WorkerName. You can use any password.

   Here is a sample configuration for the Antminer A3. You can use any URL from the list at the top of this page.

   URL:       asia.siamining.com:3333
   Worker:    YourSiacoinAddress.WorkerName
   Password:  x
   

4. Check your stats

   Once you've started mining, you can check your stats by entering your Siacoin address below.

Ethereum+Siacoin Dual Mining

Claymore's Dual Miner for GPUs can be used to mine both Ethereum and Siacoin simultaneously. The mining speed for Siacoin will of course be much lower than with a regular miner, but depending on the current profitability of Ethereum and Siacoin it may result in higher total earnings.

Claymore's miner only supports a simplified Stratum protocol for Siacoin, which is available on port 7777. Here are the parameters you need to use:

EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool us1.ethpool.org:3333 -ewal YourEthAddress.WorkerName -epsw x -dpool stratum+tcp://us-east.siamining.com:7777 -dwal YourSiacoinAddress.WorkerName -dcoin sia
