Guide: How to mine GRIN

🏁 1. Prerequisites

  • Nvidia GPU with at least 8GB RAM
  • AMD GPU with at least 8GB RAM

🌜 2. Install and use a compatible wallet

{% content-ref url="../../wallets/desktop-wallets/grin++-grin.md" %} grin++-grin.md {% endcontent-ref %}

⛏️ 3. Install mining software

AMD GPU: lolMiner

  1. Download latest miner binaries from

    https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4724735.0

  2. Pick a mining pool from

    https://miningpoolstats.stream/grin-c29

    https://miningpoolstats.stream/grin-c31

    https://miningpoolstats.stream/grin-c32

  3. Run the mining software with the following command line and modify the parameters within the <>

{% hint style="info" %} Grin currently has 3 mining algorithms. Experiment and choose the best for your GPU. grin-c29 has the lowest memory hardware requirements. Possible values for --coin are GRIN-C29M GRIN-C31 GRIN-C32 {% endhint %}

{% tabs %} {% tab title="Windows" %}

lolMiner.exe --coin GRIN-C29M --pool <poolAddr>:<portNumber> --user <Wallet or user name>.<rigID> --pass x

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Linux" %}

./lolMiner --coin GRIN-C29M --pool <poolAddr>:<portNumber> --user <Wallet or user name>.<rigID> --pass x

{% endtab %} {% endtabs %}

Nvidia & AMD GPU: GMiner

  1. Download latest miner binaries from

    https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5034735.0

  2. Pick a mining pool from

    https://miningpoolstats.stream/grin-c29

    https://miningpoolstats.stream/grin-c31

    https://miningpoolstats.stream/grin-c32

  3. Run the mining software with the following command line or edit the included "mine_grin[29|31|32]" script file.

{% hint style="info" %} Grin currently has 3 mining algorithms. Experiment and choose the best for your GPU. grin-c29 has the lowest memory hardware requirements. {% endhint %}

{% tabs %} {% tab title="Windows" %}

miner.exe --algo <grin29|grin31|grin32> --server <poolAddr> --port <portNumber> --user <Wallet or user name>.<rigName>

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Linux" %}

./miner --algo <grin29|grin31|grin32> --server <poolAddr> --port <portNumber> --user <Wallet or user name>.<rigName>

{% endtab %} {% endtabs %}

{% hint style="info" %} If your Operating System quarantines the file, you will need to create a rule to exclude the files/directory. {% endhint %}

💰 4. FAQ

When will I get paid?

When your earnings reaches the payout limit or threshold, you must request payment to your wallet. Often times, you need to open your wallet and be online to receive the Grin transaction. If using an exchange wallet, payment is automatically sent to your address upon request.
