How to Start Mining Ethereum Classic

Choose your mining server:

Region	Share Diff	Server	Status
Europe	8.58G	etc.2miners.com:1010	Active
USA	8.58G	us-etc.2miners.com:1010	Active
Asia	8.58G	asia-etc.2miners.com:1010	Active

By default or if in doubt which share difficulty to choose, choose the lower one. We recommend the high share difficulty if you mine with more than 500 GPU's. If you mine using Nicehash you should always choose the high share difficulty. Share difficulty doesn’t affect miner rewards. Read more.

Step 1 - Create a wallet

You could receive payouts in Bitcoin (BTC) or Ethereum Classic (ETC). Payout fees in BTC are low (less than $0.2), payouts in ETC are absolutely free ($0). Read our post Get Paid in Bitcoin for Altcoin Mining.

For each of the coins you could use a desktop or mobile wallet or generate an address on a crypto exchange.

For BTC we recommend official Bitcoin wallet for desktop, Guarda for mobile, and exchanges Binance (choose Bitcoin SegWit chain), Gate.io or KuCoin.
For ETC we recommend Trust Wallet for mobile, and exchanges Binance (choose Ethereum Classic chain), Gate.io or KuCoin.

Step 2 - Download mining software

Quick start - Download ready to go version of the GPU Miner (archive password - 2miners).

For Nvidia GPU's we recommend T-Rex (Guide - How to use T-Rex) or GMiner (Guide - How to use GMiner).
For AMD GPU's we recommend lolMiner (Guide - How to use lolMiner) or GMiner (Guide - How to use GMiner).

Step 3 - Edit the bat file

Use YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS that you've created on Step 1.
Example BTC (SegWit): bc1qnkyhslv83yyp0q0suxw0uj3lg9drgqq9c0auzc
Example BTC (Compatibility): 3GRdnTq18LyNveWa1gQJcgp8qEnzijv5vR
Example BTC (Legacy): 1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa
Example ETC: 0xa6e43E5D497ce1f4d28b4270630E97308eDA8b3e
If you want, you can Change RIG_ID in the bat file. Specify the name of the rig as you want it to be shown in miner's statistics page. This field is not mandatory. You could leave it empty.
Length of RIG_ID - Maximum 32 characters. Use English letters, numbers and symbols "-" and "_".
Example: rig-1
