How to mine Fractal Bitcoin

    Fractal Bitcoin is a scaling solution for Bitcoin, gradually extending the Bitcoin blockchain into a scalable computing system without breaking consistency with the Bitcoin main chain.

    FB, the native token of Fractal network, uses the same SHA256d mining algorithm as BTC, allowing the use of the same mining machines.

    Fractal’s mining information is available on the official website and block explorer.

    2. Sign up for an f2pool account

    You will need to create an f2pool account before mining Fractal. If you do not have one yet, please click here to register.

    Setting an account name will be required for configuration. You are free to create multiple subaccounts to monitor your mining machines.

    3. Obtain and add payout address

    You will need to get a payout address to collect your mining rewards. You can add or change your payout address in your Payout Settings.

    f2pool distributes mining rewards on a daily basis to every user who reaches the payout threshold, which is 0.1 FB. f2pool’s payout scheme is 4% PPLNS.

    To obtain an FB wallet address, download and install the UniSat wallet mobile version or use its browser extension. Follow the instructions to create a new wallet. Make sure to select Taproot as the wallet format (or you can change the address type in settings later), and save your private key securely.

    Currently, there is no exchange information available for Fractal Bitcoin (FB). We will update this information when exchanges become available for FB.

    Note: You should always do your own due diligence when choosing a wallet provider or exchange.

    4. Configure mining software

    For configuration, you could use a browser that accesses the IP address of your machine, or batch management software. You will need to enter the following information into your mining device:

    Pool/URL: stratum+tcp://fb.f2pool.com:5700

    User/Worker: accountname.workername

    Password: Your choice, such as 123

    Please note

    1. Your accountname is provided in your Account Settings.

    2. workername is optional, but we recommend labeling each of your mining devices with a separate workername for more efficient monitoring. Workername can be a number, text, or a combination of both.

    3. To separate accountname and workername, use a “.” as the delimiter. For example, if your account name is “oceanminer” and your worker name is “bigfish1”, you should write it as “oceanminer.bigfish1”.

    5. Monitor machine and reward

    After your machine has been running for a few minutes, you can view its status and hashrate on the pool.

    You can manage your account settings and monitor your hashrate, rewards and so on in your dashboard or in our f2pool app.
