How Can I Start Mining Siacoin SC

How to Mine Sia Coin. Sia uses a cryptocurrency called the Siacoin (SC). Part 2: You’re ready to start mining!

Help Mining Server Addresses Region Address Stratum Port Claymore Stratum HTTP (deprecated) Asia/Pacific asia.siamining.com 3333 7777 9980 Europe eu.siamining.com 3333 7777 9980 US East us-east.siamining.com 3333 7777 9980 US West us-west.siamining.com 3333 7777 9980 Getting Started • Get a Siacoin address • You can grab the and use it to generate an address. • Alternatively, you can use an exchange address (e.g.,,, or ). Keep in mind that from time to time exchanges may be temporarily unaccessible due to wallet maintenance. • Get a compatible miner • ASIC miners come with their own software, which is usually configured over your local network.

We expect all (Blake2b) ASICs to support SiaMining's Stratum protocol (port 3333). The server addresses that you can use are listed at the top of this page. Some miners allow you to specify more than one, for failover.

• Both AMD and Nvidia GPU users should get the best results with our OpenCL+CUDA Stratum miner, Marlin.. Alternative miners (these miners are outdated, but might still give better results on some systems): • Nvidia GPU users can use CCMiner by KlausT:,,. Note that other forks of CCMiner, such as tpruvot's, may not be compatible.

• AMD GPU users can download a binary of SGMiner for. Linux users can compile SGMiner from.

• AMD GPU users can download a binary of GoMiner from. You can alternatively compile it from (Go 1.3 or newer is required). • Connect to the pool You must use your Siacoin address as the username; you can optionally specify a worker name (to help you keep track of your miners) by adding it after a single dot (.). A full username would therefore be of the form YourSiacoinAddress. You can use any password. Here is a sample configuration for the Antminer A3. You can use any URL from the list at the top of this page.

URL: asia.siamining.com:3333 Worker: YourSiacoinAddress. WorkerName Password: x Here are command line examples for GPU miners.

You can of course configure intensity and other parameters../marlin -H us-east.siamining.com:3333 -u YourSiacoinAddress. WorkerName -I 28./ccminer -a sia -e --url=stratum+tcp://us-east.siamining.com:3333 -u YourSiacoinAddress.

• Check your stats Once you've started mining, you can check your stats by entering your Siacoin address below. Go Ethereum+Siacoin Dual Mining for GPUs can be used to mine both Ethereum and Siacoin simultaneously. The mining speed for Siacoin will of course be much lower than with a regular miner, but depending on the current profitability of Ethereum and Siacoin it may result in higher total earnings. Claymore's miner only supports a simplified Stratum protocol for Siacoin, which is available on port 7777. Here are the parameters you need to use: EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool us1.ethpool.org:3333 -ewal YourEthAddress. WorkerName -epsw x -dpool stratum+tcp://us-east.siamining.com:7777 -dwal YourSiacoinAddress.
