Mining Guide

Mine Kindcoin with current, verifiable settings.

A practical guide for Scrypt ASICs, test miners, pools, and operators running their own Kindcoin node.

Check before you start

Mining is competitive and can consume substantial electricity. Confirm hardware, power, cooling, pool availability, fees, payout rules, and local costs before committing resources. A pool appearing here or on a discovery service is not an endorsement.

Network difficulty and hashrate change continuously. Use the official explorer for the current chain state rather than relying on a static estimate.

Pool mining

  1. Install the current wallet from the Wallets page, let it synchronize, and create a receiving address.
  2. Check the live Kindcoin pool directory. Pool status, ports, fees, and payout minimums can change.
  3. Open the selected pool's own KCCC setup page and copy its current Stratum URL and port.
  4. Use your KCCC address in the worker format required by that pool. Never use a private key or wallet password as a worker credential.
  5. Confirm accepted shares on the miner and pool dashboard, then verify payouts independently in the explorer.

Recent public discovery has included AikaPool, Zpool, and LuckyDogPool, but availability is dynamic. Always use the pool's current configuration page instead of an old port copied from a post.

Scrypt ASIC setup

  1. Connect the miner to wired networking and use the manufacturer's discovery method to find its local address.
  2. Change default administration credentials and install only verified manufacturer firmware.
  3. Open the mining or pool configuration page.
  4. Enter the pool URL, worker identity, and pool-specified password. Configure backup pools if supported.
  5. Save, then watch accepted shares, hardware temperature, fan speed, and average hashrate.

Compatible hardware must support standard Scrypt. Manufacturer examples include Scrypt-capable Antminer L-series devices; model suitability depends on firmware, efficiency, power, noise, and the pool's difficulty settings.

Software test miner

CPU mining is useful for compatibility testing but is generally not competitive with Scrypt ASICs. One maintained reference is CPUMiner-Multi. Use the exact endpoint and worker format supplied by your pool:

cpuminer -a scrypt \
  -o stratum+tcp://POOL_HOST:PORT \
  -u KCCC_ADDRESS.WORKER \
  -p POOL_PASSWORD

Download miners only from their official repositories or releases. Mining binaries are frequently impersonated by malware.

Solo and private-pool operation

Solo mining requires a fully synchronized Kindcoin node and compatible GetBlockTemplate mining software or pool middleware. Keep RPC private. A conservative node configuration starts like this:

server=1
listen=1
port=21538
rpcport=21537
rpcbind=127.0.0.1
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcuser=CHANGE_THIS_USER
rpcpassword=USE_A_LONG_RANDOM_SECRET

Expose P2P port 21538 only when you intentionally run a public node. Never expose RPC port 21537 to the public internet. If a miner runs on another trusted LAN device, allow only that private address and enforce the same boundary in the host firewall.

Verify and troubleshoot

  • No accepted shares: confirm Scrypt, the current pool port, worker syntax, and clock accuracy.
  • Connection failures: verify DNS, firewall, pool status, and whether TLS is required.
  • High rejected-share rate: check stale work, latency, overclocking, cooling, and firmware stability.
  • No payout: check the pool minimum, payout schedule, address, and mined-reward maturity.
  • Solo node not producing work: confirm the wallet is synchronized and inspect getblockchaininfo, getmininginfo, and getblocktemplate locally.
