⚡ Rigel Miner — HiveOS Setup

Rigel is the recommended miner for ProgPowZ on Nvidia GPUs. In HiveOS, use the settings below:

Coin / Algo

ZANO · progpowz

Wallet Template

%WAL%.%WORKER_NAME%

Worker Name

(leave blank — included above)

Pass

x

Pool URL

stratum+tcp://zano.alphapool.tech:5336

TLS

Off (standard port 5336)

⚠️ Important: Set Wallet Template to %WAL%.%WORKER_NAME% — this appends your rig name so it shows in your stats dashboard. Without it, workers appear as "undefined".

Rigel CLI (direct)

rigel -a progpowz \
  -o stratum+tcp://zano.alphapool.tech:5336 \
  -u <YourZanoAddress>.<WorkerName> \
  -p x

🔥 WildRig Multi — AMD Setup

WildRig Multi is the recommended miner for ProgPowZ on AMD GPUs. Use the settings below:

⚡ SRBMiner-MULTI — AMD Setup

SRBMiner-MULTI supports ProgPowZ on AMD GPUs with competitive performance.

🎯 Solo Mining

PPLNS POOL

✓ Steady, predictable payouts
✓ Any hashrate welcome
✓ Shared block rewards
✓ 0.75% fee

SOLO MINING

✓ Full block reward (99.25%)
✓ Best for large farms
⚡ High variance — you win or you don't
✓ 0.75% fee on block finds

How Solo Works

Add solo: before your wallet address. Connect to any port — port 5338 has higher starting difficulty and is preferred for large farms (>1 GH/s). Smaller rigs can use port 5336. If your rig finds a block, 99.25% of the reward goes directly to you. If no block is found, you earn nothing — shares are tracked but not rewarded until a block is found.

⚠️ Critical: Wallet Template must start with solo: — without this prefix your rig mines in PPLNS pool mode instead.
