Mining Guide
UPDATE: Due to the recent development of GPU miners for the curvehash algorithm it's currently not efficient to mine Pulsar with a CPU. Join the PulsarCoin Discord for the latest mining developments and discussion.
To get started mining PulsarCoin you will need:
- a PC with a 64-bit x86 CPU
- the latest SRBMiner for Windows or Linux
- A Pulsar wallet address to receive mining rewards
Whether it is profitable for you to mine PLSR depends on your hardware and electricity cost. If the cost of electricity is higher than the cost to buy the same amount of PLSR/day, then you may want to buy PLSR and stake it.
As difficulty changes rewards may go down, but at the moment 100KH/s will earn about 25 PLSR/day.
Check the list of pools on MiningPoolStats.stream and pick a pool. Some pools offer different features or have dedicated communities to offer help/advice.
-
Download the latest SRBMiner for your OS (Windows or Linux).
-
Extract the archive. You should have a folder called
SRBMiner-Multi-0-9-4withSRBMiner-MULTIand a bunch of batch files (.bat) or shell scripts (.sh) calledstart-mining-<coin>. Edit thestart-mining-pulsarfile and replace theSRBMiner-MULTIline with the correct one for the pool you chose. See below for more details on how to configure your miner.
Many pools have a configuration generator that produces a string of text you can copy/paste into different miners. Below are two examples for Windows using Rplant and Zergpool. Replace <PLSR_wallet> with your Pulsar wallet receiving address, and <Worker_Name> with a name you would like to use to identify your miner on the pool.
:: Rplant
SRBMiner-MULTI.exe --algorithm curvehash --pool stratum+ssl://stratum-na.rplant.xyz:17030 --wallet <PLSR_wallet>.<Worker_Name> --disable-gpu
:: Zergpool
SRBMiner-MULTI.exe --algorithm curvehash --pool stratum+ssl://curvehash.mine.zergpool.com:13343 --wallet <PLSR wallet address>.<Worker Name> -p c=PLSR,mc=PLSR --disable-gpu
