# ETC Mining

**I. Introduction to Cryptocurrency**

ETC Ethereum Classic

[Official Website](https://ethereumclassic.org/)   [Block Explorer](https://www.oklink.com/all-chain)

Ethereum Classic (ETC) is the original Ethereum blockchain that continued on the original chain after a hard fork was executed at block height 1,920,000 on July 20, 2016. Ethereum Classic is a continuation of the original version of Ethereum, preserving its initial code rules and features. It is a decentralized platform based on blockchain technology that enables the implementation of smart contracts. The platform can be used for programming, decentralization, securing, and transacting anything, including voting, finance, crowdfunding, corporate governance, contracts, most types of agreements, intellectual property, and smart assets. It operates without the need for third-party enforcement and is free from human interference, allowing for direct and efficient transactions.

**II. Introduction to Supported Miners**

NVIDA and AMD Graphic Cards are both available.
\
ASIC miners: such as Jasminer X4, iPollo A11 series miners, Antminer E9 Pro, E9, etc.

**III. Setting Up Subaccounts and Binding Wallet Addresses in SpiderPool**

Register an account on SpiderPool ([www.spiderpool.com](http://www.spiderpool.com/)), log in, go to Subaccount Management, select the mining currency ETC, then create a corresponding subaccount and bind your wallet address.

(If not bound, ETC will be kept in your account balance until the next payment settlement after binding.)

**IV. Setting Up Mining Parameters and Starting to Mine**

**ASIC Miner Mining**
\
Enter the miner's IP address in the browser's address bar to access the backend, and set the following information in the backend:
\
Pool text box should contain:
\
1.Choose any of the following URLs:
\
TCP：stratum+tcp\://etc-us-ss.spiderpool.com:8008(Backup: 4443,8118)
\
TLS：stratum+ssl://etc-us-ss.spiderpool.com:3010(Backup: 3011)

2. Enter your username or sub-account on [www.spiderpool.com](http://www.spiderpool.com) (not wallet address or email address) in the "username" field. The "worker" field is for the miner's name, which can be customized and can consist of numbers or letters. Use a period "." to separate the username and worker name.

**GPU Mining**

1、Required Equipment
\
To begin with, you'll need a Windows(Linux) PC to run the mining software for applicable GPU types、Mining software、GPU Mining

2、Download Software
\
T-Rex： <https://github.com/trexminer/T-Rex/releases/>
\
Gminer：<https://github.com/develsoftware/GMinerRelease/releases/>
\
lolMiner：<https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4724735.0>
\
Note: Find software in the folder for your operation system (Windows or Linux compatible).

3、Set mining proxy

(1）T-Rex: Unzip it to a separate folder and find "start.bat". Open it with TextPad or any applicable editor and re-edit the file:
\
t-rex.exe -a ethash --coin etc -o stratum+tcp\://etc-us-ss.spiderpool.com:8008 -u username.worker -p x --fork-at etchash=epoch:390 pause

(2）T-Rex: Unzip it to a separate folder and find "start.bat". Open it with TextPad or any applicable editor and re-edit the file:
\
miner.exe --algo etchash --serveretc-us-ss.spiderpool.com:8008 --user username.worker

(3）T-Rex: Unzip it to a separate folder and find "start.bat". Open it with TextPad or any applicable editor and re-edit the file:
\
lolMiner.exe --algo ETCHASH --etc-us-ss.spiderpool.com:8008 --user username.worker pause

4、Deploy Mining
\
Double-click "start.bat" to start mining.

**V. Monitoring Hashrate and Viewing Profits**

After the miner runs for about 10-15 minutes and is stably connected to the pool, you can log in to the official SpiderPool website (<https://www.spiderpool.com/>), click on the subaccount in My Dashboard, and then check the miner status and profit situation on the Account Overview page.
