Setup Generator

Note: Using the setup generator is highly recommended if you are new to crypto mining

Stratum Configuration

All of our stratum servers utilize GeoIP routing which automatically selects the server with the closest geographical proximity to your mining operation, resulting in optimal latency.

Login: Login using your wallet address as username. An optional workername can be appended to your address separated by a dot character. Password can be left blank.

SSL/TLS: To connect using SSL/TLS please add 2 to the respective port number. For ccminer, claymore and sgminer change the protocol from stratum+tcp:// to stratum+ssl://. For dstm's Miner change the protocol from stratum+tcp:// to ssl://.

Static difficulty: To mine with a static (fixed) difficulty simply use d=xxx as password in your miner configuration where xxx denotes your preferred difficulty.

Getting a Wallet

Before you can start to mine you need to create a wallet. Although Bitcoin Gold is an entirely digital asset, you still need a place to store them. This is done in a digital wallet. There are multiple methods to obtain a wallet which vary by ease of use and the security they provide.

Official Wallets

Official first-party Wallets for all major platforms are available from the Bitcoin Gold Website. These wallets are released and maintained by the Bitcoin Gold Team.

Hardware Wallets

A hardware wallet is a special type of wallet which stores your private keys in a secure hardware device. Hardware wallets offer robust safety features for storing cryptographic assets and securing digital payments. The most popular hardware wallets are the Ledger Nano S and the Trezor.

Registering with a Crypto-Exchange

There are multiple digital currency exchanges you can register with. Registering with an exchange allows you to create a wallet on the exchange for every currency the exchange supports.

Popular exchanges are: Binance, Bittrex, Poloniex, Kraken, Bitfinex and HitBTC.
