To start mining Etica (ETI), you need:
1. An Etica public address
2. XMRIG or SRBMiner mining software
If you don't have an Etica address yet, please check the how to connect section first.

There are also video tutorials available to guide you through the mining setup process:
- Linux Mining Tutorial Video
- Windows Mining Tutorial Video

This tutorial is for XMRIG miner. Similar steps can be used for other miners like SRBMiner. Note that XMRIG has a minimum 1% developer fee.

Step One - Download XMRIG

Download XMRIG from the official Github repository: XMRIG Releases

Step Two - Extract Files

Extract the downloaded files to your preferred location. Note: Your antivirus may flag the files - you'll need to add an exception.

Step Three - Configure Settings

Open config.json with a text editor (like Notepad++) and update the pools section:

{
    "pools": [
        {
            "algo": "rx/0",
            "coin": null,
            "url": "141.98.153.127:3333",
            "user": "0xb66662534C45B6aE211b68133970310cA6317c76.7950x",
            "pass": "x",
            "rig-id": null,
            "nicehash": false,
            "keepalive": false,
            "enabled": true,
            "tls": false,
            "sni": false,
            "tls-fingerprint": null,
            "daemon": false,
            "socks5": null,
            "self-select": null,
            "submit-to-origin": false
        }
    ],
}
                                    

Step Four - Start Mining

Double-click xmrig.exe to start mining. A command prompt will open showing your mining status.

Step Five - Monitor Your Mining

Check your hashrate and rewards on your mining pool and explorers:
- Mining pool stats: http://eticapool.com/profile/YOUR_ETICA_ADDRESS
- Check your balance on explorers: https://www.eticascan.org/address/YOUR_ETICA_ADDRESS

How to get an Etica address:

The only thing you need to start mining EGAZ is an etica public address.
This section assumes you have an etica address or you already know how to get an etica address.
If you don't, check first part of the section how to connect.

egaz pool: http://egazpool.ddns.net

egaz miners: lolMiner

This is a tutorial on how to mine EGAZ on windows but lolMiner also works on linux and the steps should be the same.
EGAZ is the crypto currency that secures and enable to pay for transaction fees on Etica Blockchain

Step One

Download Egaz Miner zip file from repository.

Step Two

Extract zip files (unzip) and go to lolMiner folder

Step Three

Open the miner

Step Five

Replace with mining pool address egazpool.ddns.net:8008 (don't add http) & your public key (not private key!)

Once you have replaced these fields, save the file and you are ready to start mining EGAZ

Step Six

Launch the miner.
Double click on miiner_etc file to launch the miner

Step Seven

Your miner is now mining EGAZ and you don't have to do anything else. The mining pool will automatically send you EGAZ on the address you provided.

To check your hashrate and shares:

Go on (http://egazpool.ddns.net/#/account/your_etica_address_here) to see your hashrate and your shares. The EGAZ mining pool wil send you EGAZ automtically

To check your balance:

Go on https://www.eticascan.org and enter your address to see how much Etica you have on your address.
Or you can also check your Etica balance on your Metamask wallet

Mining EGAZ is pretty straight forward. Most people have mined ETH or ETC before. EGAZ is an ETC Algo and will run on your standard miners:

Nvidia: Bzminer, lolminer, T-Rex, NBminer
AMD: TeamRedMiner, Bzimer, lolminer, NBminer

Step One

Create Wallet:

Choose a custom Coin like "EGAZ" and add your ETI Address and your Name:
If you need an EGAZ/ETI Wallet, please visit the first part of this wiki how to connect.

Step Two

Use the same configs as you have on windows:

Hash: I found you can chose either ETChash OR ETHash - both work
Pool URL: URL: http://egazpool.ddns.net
Port: 8008
Wallet: well, chose your wallet here
Pool: http://eticapool.com:8081
Extra config: -ethstratum=ETHPROXY (it also works without)

Step Three

On Bzminer, it looks like this:
