Pool Examples for ETH

Pool connection definition is issued via -P argument which has this syntax:

-P scheme://user[.workername][:password]@hostname:port[/...]

values in square brackets are optional

where scheme can be any of:

  • http for getwork mode (geth)
  • stratum+tcp for plain stratum mode
  • stratum1+tcp for plain stratum eth-proxy compatible mode
  • stratum2+tcp for plain stratum NiceHash compatible mode

Secure socket comunications for stratum only

Ethminer supports secure socket communications (where pool implements and offers it) to avoid the risk of a man-in-the-middle attack To enable it simply replace tcp with either:

  • tls to enable secure socket communication
  • ssl or tls12 to enable secure socket communication allowing only TLS 1.2 encryption

thus your connection scheme changes to -P stratum+tls://[...] or -P stratum+tls12://[...]. Same applies for stratum1 and stratum2.

Only for version 0.16+ (older versions not affected)

Stratum autodetection has been introduced to mitigate user's duty to guess/find which stratum flavour to apply (stratum or stratum1 or stratum2). If you want to let ethminer do the tests for you simply enter scheme as stratum:// (note +tcp is missing) or stratums:// for secure socket or stratumss:// for secure socket allowing only TLS 1.2 encryption.

Common samples

Here you can find a collection of samples to connect to most commonly used ethash pools. (alphabetic order).

  • Stratum connection is always to be preferred over getwork when pool offers it due to its better network latency.
  • If possible the samples use a protocol which supports reporting of hashrate (--report-hashrate) if pool supports this.

Check for updates in the pool connection settings visiting the pools homepage.

Variables

We tried to merge the requirements of the variables so they match all pools.

Variables Description Sample
ETH_WALLET Replace ETH_WALLET with your Ethereum wallet number including the leading 0x. 0x1234567890ABCDEF1234567890abcdef12345678
WORKERNAME WORKERNAME may only contain letters and numbers. Some pools also only allow up to a maximum of 8 characters! pl1rig01
EMAIL EMAIL may contain letters, numbers, underscores, dashes, dots and the @-sign. It must contain a @-sign and a dot! [email protected]
USERNAME USERNAME you got from the pool (like miningpoolhub.com) my_username
WORKERPWD WORKERPWD is the password you got from the pool for the worker (like miningpoolhub.com) - if you have no password set try using 'x' my_workerpwd
BTC_WALLET As some pools honor your work in BTC (eg nicehash.com) BTC_WALLET is your Bitcoin wallet address 1A2b3C4d5e5F6g7H8I9j0kLmNoPqRstUvW

Servers

The servers are listed in alphabetical order. To get best results reorder them from nearest to farest distance depending on your geographic location.
