Suprnova: reviews and review of the mining pool. Сryptopia withdrawal and exchange of money to a card, Yandex money and so on Pros and cons

Hello friends, in this article we will talk about withdrawing money and funds from the cryptopia cryptocurrency exchange (cryptopia) to a card or other electronic wallets, for example Yandex money.

The principle of inference is equivalent to that in the article. But for convenience, we decided to write separately.

Cryptopia conclusion - we have 2 ways, which I will describe.

1. Transfer all currency into Bitcoin, and then withdraw it through an exchanger.

2. Transfer of another currency (not always a good way since there are few currencies for withdrawal on exchangers)

Probably the best first method is to start with.

Cryptopia how to withdraw

You have mined or collected in a trade, for example, lbc, zenhush, zclassic and other currencies, we need to exchange them for btc, that is, bitcoins.

Cryptopia exchange occurs according to the market, if you want to withdraw instantly. In our example there will be an Lbry currency exchange, others as well.

And so we go to the exchange and go to the cryptopia exchanger by clicking on exchange

Red arrow - The number of coins you want to exchange for bitcoin, in our case lbc

The green arrow is the price in bitcoins that we want for our coin, naturally it will not change at any price, if we want to instantly change, we set the market price and it is in the green Last price circle. Only the price can change quickly, if you enter for a long time, the price may change, to find out the real price you need to refresh the page.

Blue arrow - This is the number of cue balls you will receive.

And then click Sell LBC.

To do this, we need to select and register in special exchanger services (there is a discount on withdrawal when registering). Let's look at the most profitable and reliable ones.

This is one of the few cryptocurrency pools whose creators do not hide themselves, and the admin’s Twitter is published on the main page.

The Suprnova cc pool was launched in 2015, and one of the first cryptocurrencies that could be mined was ether. Then the administration added a large number of other crypto coins for mining. In total, the list of mined cryptocurrencies in Suprnova now includes 40 units.

Suprnova is a cryptocurrency pool with the ability to mine 40 types of different coins. Bitcoin does not appear in the general list, but even without it there is a great choice. Users most often mine:

  • Ethereum;
  • ZClassic;
  • ZCash;
  • BitCore;
  • ZDash;
  • Monero;
  • io Credits;
  • Decred.

The pool charges a standard commission of 1% for mining cryptocurrencies. But mining, GRS and START are free.

Servers

Mining on Suprnova is international in nature. Therefore, for the most popular cryptocurrencies, they offer servers in different parts of the world. For example, the following servers provide ether mining:

  • USA: eth-us.suprnova.cc;
  • Europe: eth-mine.suprnova.cc;
  • Asia: eth-apac.suprnova.cc;
  • Australia: eth-au.suprnova.cc.

The following servers have been created for the ZEC cryptocurrency:

  • USA: stratum+tcp://zec-us.suprnova.cc:2142;
  • Europe: stratum+tcp://zec-eu.suprnova.cc:2142;
  • Asia: stratum+tcp://zec-apac.suprnova.cc:2142.

For Ethereum Classic:

  • Europe: etc-eu.suprnova.cc:3000;
  • USA: etc-us.suprnova.cc:3000.

There is only one server for Litecoin mining: stratum+tcp://ltc.suprnova.cc:7000. And two international servers have been created for DASH: stratum+tcp://dash80.suprnova.cc:80 and stratum+tcp://dash80.suprnova.cc:443

A complete list of servers for mining each cryptocurrency can be viewed on the official website of Suprnova pool.

Navigation

It’s not difficult to navigate the Suprnova pool website. On the main page, the visitor immediately sees a list of available cryptocurrencies for mining with the mining algorithm, the number of active workers, the pool hashrate and the network hashrate. Here you need to select your cryptocurrency and click Start Mining (the resource is only available in English).

After this, you will be redirected to a page where you will need to register. Also here you can view pool statistics, contact the administration or support service, view the conditions, FAQ and read about how to set up Suprnova and carry out mining.

Registration in the pool

Setting up the pool operation occurs in standard mode for any cryptocurrency. Let's look at setting up and launching Suprnova using ZEC as an example. It is believed that mining ZEC on Suprnova is very profitable, since its cost is equal to half a bitcoin, and mining it is much easier and faster.

First you need to register. At the top right you will see a Guest button. Click on it, and then the line for registration (Sign Up) will pop up. When registering, you need to register a nickname, password, email address and wallet for withdrawing the mined funds. Suprnova does not offer its own wallet. It is better to have a wallet starting with t, since problems often arise when withdrawing from Suprnova to z- or x-wallets.

Also, during registration, you can set a minimum threshold for withdrawal of funds. The figure of 0.002 ZEC will be automatically indicated here, but it can be edited.

Setting up mining

The Suprnova pool makes it possible to carry out anonymous mining. The user needs to download and install the miner depending on which mining option suits him. You can download Nicehash CPU+GPU miner, Genoil`s AMD OpenCL GPU miner, Claymore miner, EWBF`s CUDA Zcash miner and others.

After this, you need to configure your Suprnova miner. We extract the data from the downloaded WinRaR folder into a regular folder. In this folder you will need to find a bat file in which you can write the number of processor cores, the worker’s login and password. To do this, right-click on the file and select Edit.

In order to create a worker, you must first go to your personal account and select My Workers. There we enter a name and password and click Add New Worker. Then we indicate the same login and password in the body file.

After these manipulations, save the changes in the document and close it. Then we launch it, and mining begins. You can check the mining process in the Dashboard section. If your worker doesn’t appear there immediately, it’s okay. As a rule, it takes some time for it to start working and for the statistics to appear in the corresponding window.

Withdrawing funds from Suprnova

It won’t take you long to figure out how to withdraw from Suprnova. Withdrawals are set up automatically. Once your Suprnova balance reaches the level specified in your account settings, funds are automatically transferred to your external wallet. Therefore, there should be no problems with how to withdraw from Supernova. The main thing is to register the t-purse, not the z- or x-purse.

In order to have constant access to your account data and mining statistics, you can download the ZECcoin client on the official website.

Mobile client

If you do not have the opportunity to constantly be near your PC and view statistics online, then you can download the mobile application to your smartphone. Two similar applications from different companies have been developed:

  • Suprnova Pools Mining Monitor;
  • Supernova Monitor.

You can download them from Google Play. The functionality of both applications is approximately the same, however, judging by the reviews, Suprnova Pools Mining Monitor works much more stable.

This article will discuss how to mine Decree. Decred cryptocurrency is a project that aims to provide governance to the community. It uses a hybrid PoW/PoS system that allows for consensus between miners. The developers of this cryptocurrency want to solve with their project the problems that such well-known cryptocurrencies as Bitcoin and Ethereum have. This article will discuss how to mine Decree. Setting up DCR mining will not take much time and will not require any special skills from the user.

Selection of video cards for mining

The Decree cryptocurrency uses an algorithm called BLAKE256. You can get acquainted with the performance of certain video cards within the framework of this algorithm using the resource http://whattomine.com. Whattomine is used to calculate mining profitability. Thus, you can compare the profitability of all video cards available on the site and choose among them the most profitable for the algorithm you are interested in. To do this, select a video card and the Blake algorithm (14r). The site will show the hashrate, electricity consumption and approximate expected profit in dollars. You can also combine different GPUs and see profit from using them simultaneously. It is possible to specify any number of video cards. This will help you select equipment for mining Decred coins.

Mining pool

Now, let's talk about where to mine Decree. For example, we will consider the Proof-of-Work pool https://dcr.suprnova.cc. This pool does not require you to have a coin wallet and keeps all funds in your account until you request a withdrawal yourself. To get started, you will need to register on the site. Enter your login, password, email and PIN code. The PIN code consists of four digits and is required for any operations with the withdrawal of mined funds.

After registration, log into your account on the pool website. Main page – “Dashboard” tab. Here you can see the current hashrate and information about your workers. There is also information about the number of DCR coins on your balance. Below you can find general information about the pool: total hashrate, difficulty, number of miners and information about the last blocks found. There is also global information about the entire cryptocurrency network, such as the global hashrate.

Go to the “My Account” -> “Edit Account” tab. Here you can set up payment information for your pool account. You will need to indicate the address where you want to send the mined coins and the amount after the accumulation of which the transfer should take place. The latter is optional, and you can accumulate any amount on your account and withdraw all funds manually. You can also indicate the percentage that will go towards donations to support the functioning of the pool. The percentage can be any number from zero to one hundred.

For mining you also need to create a worker. To do this, go to “My Account” -> “My workers”, fill in the name and password, and click on the “Add new worker” button. There can be several workers and each can be used for its own specific task.

In the same section, “My Account”, you can find a list of all transactions that were performed from the account and a profit table, which shows the number of coins earned over the last hour, day, week, month with detailed information about all commissions. Here you can also set up notifications about various events related to the pool. These include problems with workers, new blocks, payments, successful logins, and sending letters from the pool.

After providing payment information, you can start using your account on the Suprnova pool for mining. This pool is not the only one and is only considered as an example. Below is a list of the most popular DCR pools:

If you are already mining some coins or plan to switch to mining another cryptocurrency in the future, then it would be more advisable to use ccminer or sgminer miners, depending on your video cards, since these miners support many other coins and you do not have to keep many programs on your computer.

Let's look at setting up mining using the example of the sgminer miner for AMD GPUs. You can download the latest version on the official github of the project: https://github.com/nicehash/sgminer/releases. Download the archive and unpack it into any convenient folder. To start the mining process, we will need to create a *.bat file in the folder with the miner. Let's call it, for example, start.bat. You can create a separate batch file for each cryptocurrency for which you use a miner or, for example, for each pool where you mine. In the body of the file we will configure the entire process.

Insert a line

sgminer -k decred -o http://dcr.suprnova.cc:3256 -u Weblogin.Worker -p WorkerPassword -I 21 -w 64 -g 2

  • k decred is the currency/algorithm used
  • o http://dcr.suprnova.cc:3256 is the pool address (listed on the website, each miner uses its own port, for sgminer you need to specify 3256)
  • u Weblogin.Worker – login on the pool site and the name of the worker after the dot

And if you are going to use Nvidia video cards for mining, then you will need the ccminer program. You can download it on the official website http://ccminer.org. Download the archive from the link and also unpack it into a convenient folder. In the *.bat file we specify the following parameters:

ccminer -a decred –url http://dcr.suprnova.cc:3252 -u Weblogin.Worker -p Worker password

Here the parameters are almost the same as in the previous case:

  • a decred is the currency/algorithm used
  • url http://dcr.suprnova.cc:3252 – this is the pool address (listed on the website, each miner uses its own port, in this case 3252)
  • u Weblogin.Worker – login on the pool website and worker name separated by a dot
  • p WorkerPassword – worker password

Now the mining setup is complete and all that remains is to launch the batch file.

Alexey Russkikh

Despite its comparative youth, the history of cryptocurrencies is eventful, and the number of adherents is growing exponentially. Against the backdrop of popularity, the number of miners - people involved in the extraction of virtual coins - has also increased. There are several ways to make this kind of money - solo mining, working in pools, cloud mining and others. But recently another direction has been gaining momentum - dual mining. What are the features of this method of cryptocurrency mining? What program should I use? How to install and configure it? We will consider these and other points in detail in the article.

What it is?

First, let's figure out what dual mining is? As noted, this is one of the ways to earn money, which involves mining two types of cryptocurrencies simultaneously. Most often these are Decree and Ether, but there are other options (we will discuss them below).

The reason for the emergence of this direction was the desire to increase the profitability of mining and increase profits by maximizing the load on the video card. In addition, the decline in the Bitcoin premium has puzzled miners in various parts of the world. They began searching for a more advanced way to earn cryptocurrency. And salvation was found in “dual mining”.

Its meaning is simple. When purchasing mining equipment, you should not limit yourself to just one type of virtual coins. Mining two types of cryptocurrencies opens up new prospects in terms of earnings. With proper organization, it is possible to increase profitability and accelerate the return on costs.

Advantages and disadvantages

Dual mining has its pros and cons, which are worth considering when choosing this method of cryptocurrency mining:

Advantages:

  1. With the right choice of cryptocurrency, the equipment is used without loss of useful power. This is not difficult, because virtual money has similar mining principles. All the miner has to do is adjust the algorithm of the already used mechanism.
  2. There is no need to “reinvent” the wheel when mining two cryptocurrencies. To work, the Claymore program is used, which successfully works on operating systems such as Linux and Windows.
  3. With dual mining, the Ethereum mining rate remains high. This is due to the fact that the mining speed is identical for all virtual coins. If the power reaches 60 MH/s, it is relevant for both Ether and the second currency in the pair - Siacoin or Decree.
  4. The program discussed above works on various algorithms, which contributes to maximum equipment load and its operation with high efficiency. If, when mining Ethereum, the GPU memory is poorly loaded, the second cryptocurrency compensates for this deficiency. From the above, the conclusion suggests itself that dual mining guarantees the operation of the equipment almost 100%, which increases profitability.

Flaws:

  1. For dual mining to produce results, it is important to configure the program correctly. It is enough to make one mistake to reduce the level of profit received.
  2. When mining two currencies at the same time, the equipment heats up more and the fans work at maximum capacity. As a result, the service life of video cards is reduced. If the GPU is under warranty, this is not a problem.
  3. Increased noise. Due to the heavy load of equipment, it is quite difficult to stay near the farm. In addition, the equipment generates increased heat, so it is worth considering cooling the room.

As for the benefits, a lot depends on the correct setup of the equipment. If you approach this wisely, one farm gives 60-70 dollars (in addition to the standard income when mining one cryptocurrency).

It is worth noting that the dual mining mode leads to an increase in electricity consumption by 20-25%. But even in this case, the dual mining method is more profitable.

When calculating income, pay attention to the interest that the miner gives (commission to the pool). In the case of Ethereum, you will have to part with 1% of your earnings. If you work with two cryptocurrencies (ETH and DCR), the costs will be twice as high - 2%.

Currency combination options

Note that when choosing the Equinash algorithm, mining of two cryptocurrencies becomes unavailable. In the case of Etash, the mentioned method of earning money is available through the Claymore program. Pascal, Siacoin or Decree can be used as the second coin. To make a choice, go to the official website of each cryptocurrency and study their features.

Take into account not only the profitability calculators, but also the future prospects of each coin. Practice shows that the best solution is mining Ethereum and Decred cryptocurrencies.

Alternatively, you should use Siacoin as a second currency. You can exchange additional electronic currency, if you do not want to invest in it, at.

Which pool to choose?

When working with dual mining, use pools that run on Stratum. The most attractive options include:

  1. Nanopool- a well-known pool that supports Stratum and has a speed of 223.7 Gigahash per second. The reward commission is 1%, the payout amount is 0.1 ETH.
  2. Eth.suprnova- another reliable pool that allows you to work with two currencies at once. The commission size is 1%, and the speed is 71.5 Gigahash per second. Payment is made if there is 0.01 ETH on the account. The server is located in France.
  3. Coinotron- pool with a server in Poland. The working conditions are almost no different from Eth.suprnova. There is also a commission of 1%, but the payment is made when 0.1 Ethereum is accumulated. The power is 177.3 Gigahash per second.

Setting up a batch file

We figured out that dual mining is profitable from a profit standpoint, which allows you to quickly recoup the costs of equipment. But do not forget about the second side of the coin - the need to properly configure the program. The miner must know what parameters to set and how to set up a batch file for dual mining. Let's consider these nuances in detail.

As noted, the official cryptocurrency mining program does not work with Stratum, for which only the HTTP protocol is suitable. To avoid the problem, a proxy is used with a connection to the pool via Stratum. There is a slight delay here, which is not critical.

Today, many pools operate on Stratum (we mentioned some above). To work, you will need an adapter to ensure correct operation of the program. Connecting directly to HTTP reduces mining efficiency, which is unacceptable.

The advantage of Claymore is that the program runs on Stratum. This allows you to connect directly to the pool and support higher mining speeds. This is due to the fact that when mining cryptocurrency there is no need to waste time going through a proxy.

To obtain maximum power, you need to install the Catalyst drivers. If you use other paths, you may have problems starting the program. In addition, to work with a group of graphical processes, it is worth setting the virtual memory to 16 Gigabytes. To do this, do the following:

  • follow the “Start” link;
  • find the “Computer” link, then click on the right button and select “Properties”;
  • follow the link for additional system parameters, and then go to the “Advanced” tab;
  • Find the setting item, follow the advanced link and change the setting in the virtual memory category.

Remember that with dual mining you lose 2% of your profit (for commission). This means that the developer takes 72 seconds out of every hour. If you feel sorry for sharing the coins you earn, you should not use this software.

The main problems that may occur include insufficient power of equipment for dual mining, as well as a loss of one to three percent of productivity when mining cryptocurrency.

In addition to pools, there are online markets on the Internet that connect miners with sellers of mining power. One of these is Nicehash. This is a pool and service that makes money by selling capacity to its users. Features include automatic cryptocurrency payments, the presence of statistics, and the possibility of additional settings through the configuration file.

The sequence of actions is as follows:

  1. Log in to the site and register.
  2. After logging in, write down the mining address. It can be anything, for example, 3Kj7vjnnqyXhTLdxFyxtWkDC73ESTJr4my.
  3. Now configure the bat file. To do this, point at it and right-click. Go to the changes menu.
  4. Find the inscription -esw x and add -dbg -1 -dpool stratum+tcp://decred.eu.nicehash.com:3354 -dwal 3Kj7vjnnqyXhTLdxFyxtWkDC73ESTJr4my -dcri 30.
  5. Run the start.bat file and mine cryptocurrency.
