Mining on the ETCMCv2 Pool
Mining on the ETCMCv2 Pool
How to point an Etchash miner at the ETCMCv2 Ethereum Classic pool, and how mining on it re-enables the node client mining bonus.

- An Etchash-capable GPU or ASIC
- An Ethereum Classic wallet address (this is where the pool pays out)
- An Etchash miner such as lolMiner, GMiner, T-Rex, TeamRedMiner, nanominer or NBMiner
- Optional: a registered ETCMCv2 node, to also collect the mining bonus
2) Stratum endpoints
The pool runs Etchash stratum with a fixed difficulty per port. Pick the port that matches your hardware — using a port that is too hard or too easy for your hashrate will make your share submissions less efficient.

Log in to the pool with your ETC address, followed by a worker name of your choice:
Worker: 0xYourEtcAddress.workerName
Password: xExample:
0x1234abcd...5678.rig014) Supported miners
Any miner that speaks Etchash stratum works. These are known to work:
- lolMiner
- GMiner
- T-Rex
- TeamRedMiner
- nanominer
- NBMiner
- Hive OS (and similar mining operating systems)
5) Node client mining bonus
If you mine on this pool using the same wallet address you registered in the ETCMCv2 node client, your node switches to the mining bonus rate.
- The wallet mining on the pool must match the wallet registered in the client.
- Pro licenses stack: the Pro multiplier applies on top of the mining bonus rate.
- Mining status and bonus eligibility are refreshed every five minutes (client 3.0.5 and later).
6) Checking pool status
The infrastructure status page reports mining node sync, pool and stratum health, and public RPC status:
