Mining PRANA with lolMiner, T-Rex or GMiner: the setup and how payouts work

PRANA uses Etchash, byte for byte the Ethereum Classic algorithm, so any Etchash GPU rig works without changes. What you need - A GPU with at least 6 GB of VRAM to start; 8 GB or more is the durable choice as the DAG grows. Integrated graphics and anything under 6 GB will not work, and Etchash ASICs are not practical here. - A PRANA address: any EVM wallet address (checksummed 0x…). See the MetaMask thread on the PRANA board. The stratum stratum+tcp://pool.soapbox.community:3333 Your PRANA address is the login. Add .rigname after it to tell rigs apart. lolMiner (NVIDIA and AMD): lolMiner --algo ETCHASH --pool stratum+tcp://pool.soapbox.community:3333 --user 0xYOUR_PRANA_ADDRESS.rig1 T-Rex (NVIDIA): t-rex -a etchash -o stratum+tcp://pool.soapbox.community:3333 -u 0xYOUR_PRANA_ADDRESS.rig1 -p x GMiner and HiveOS configs are on the guide page: https://witness.melek.salon/mine How payouts work: the pool is the chain A PRANA hardfork activated at block 169,532. Since block 169,688, consensus splits every block reward: 2% to Hathor's treasury and 98% to the pot contract 0x0c033FF8f3eEF60981574816672E80dEc5404E3C. A block that pays anyone else is rejected by every node. Every round is 20 blocks, about four minutes. The shares for the round are counted and the pot pushes each address its share automatically. There is nothing to claim. Every share is published with its proof of work, and each round needs two of three independent signers who each recompute it from public data. The contract has no admin withdrawal and cannot be upgraded. If you mine a block outside the pool, its reward is held under your own address and released the moment that address submits a share to the pool.
