You’ll need to get a wallet address if you don’t have one already. We recommend the official full node wallet. You can also choose an exchange, such as Binance or Huobi. Note: You should always do your own due diligence when choosing a wallet provider or exchange.
3. Configure your mining device
Your miner must be connected to the f2pool server listed below for your hashrate and revenue to be recorded and monitored.
You’ll need to enter the following information in your mining device:
URL: stratum+tcp://dash.f2pool.com:5588
Username: walletAddress.workerName
Password: Your choice
Please note
workerName is optional, but we recommend labeling each of your mining devices with a separate workerName for more efficient monitoring.
