The token for Aleo is ALEO, and its mining algorithm is zkSNARK, supporting both GPU miners and ASIC miners.
For GPU miners, only Nvidia graphics cards are supported, requiring Cuda 12.4 or later versions, a driver version of 535.54.03 or above, and an operating system of Ubuntu 20.04 or higher.
For ASIC miners, specialized devices can be used for efficient mining. Please refer to the configuration instructions below for details.
Aleo is a new layer-one blockchain platform that utilizes zero-knowledge proof technology, designed to support scalable and privacy-preserving decentralized applications (dApps). Its network consensus mechanism, AleoBFT, combines Proof of Work (PoW) and Proof of Stake (PoS), generating kSNARKs proofs through PoW and utilizing PoS for real-time block finality.
ANTPOOL is pleased to launch the ALEO mining pool. This guide will demonstrate how to configure and mine Aleo on ANTPOOL using both GPU miners and ASIC miners as examples.
GPU Miner
Step 1: Create a ALEO Wallet Address
To mine ALEO on ANTPOOL, you need to configure a wallet address to receive mining rewards. You can obtain a wallet on the ALEO resource page or use a wallet from an exchange. (Miners assume the risks associated with different exchanges themselves)
Step 2: Register an ANTPOOL Account
Before mining ALEO, you need to create an ANTPOOL account. If you have not registered, please click here to register. Here you can refer to the tutorial for creating a sub-account.
Step 3: Configure Your GPU Miner
1. Visit the following address to download the GPU Miner
https://github.com/AntPoolDev/aleo-miner-antpool/releases/tag/antpool_prover-v1.0.0-linux
2. Configure your GPU miner using the following settings:
Usage：
./antpool_prover --pool aleo.antpool.com:9038 --account account_name --custom_name worker_name
--pool： The pool’s address
--account： The account of Antpool. Example：test
--custom_name: The workername of your account. Example：001
--gpu_index: The GPU indice which you want to mining. Optional. Default: All available GPUs.
A sample：
./antpool_prover --pool aleo.antpool.com:9038 --account test --custom_name 001
Please note:
1. The server can use alternative ports. Please refer to the list of alternative ports in the mining pool URL for example configurations.
2. Your 'account' is provided in your account settings, and users can create multiple sub-accounts for mining.
3. 'custom_name' is customizable, and we recommend tagging each mining device with a separate 'custom_name' for more effective monitoring.
Step 4: Start Mining
Once the program starts, your GPU miner will connect to the ANTPOOL ALEO mining pool and begin mining immediately.
Step 5: Monitor Mining Progress
You can log in to your ANTPOOL account and visit the user dashboard, miner management, and other pages to view the miner's hash rate and operational status.
Step 6: Claim Mining Earnings
ANTPOOL pays ALEO rewards daily according to the PPLNS payment scheme, and once your earnings reach the minimum payout amount, your mining profits will automatically be transferred to your configured wallet address. You can check your earnings on ANTPOOL's "Earnings Payment" page.
ASIC Miner
When mining with ASIC miners, the overall process is the same as with GPU miners, including creating a wallet address, registering an ANTPOOL account, starting mining, monitoring mining progress, and claiming mining rewards. However, Step 3 (configuring the miner) differs from the GPU miner setup. The specific configuration steps are as follows:
Step 3: Configure Your ASIC Miner
1. Log in to the ASIC miner's configuration page
Access the miner's backend configuration interface using its management address.
2. Set the mining pool address
On the miner's configuration page, set the mining URL to:
aleo.antpool.com:9039
3. Set account information
- Username: Enter your ANTPOOL sub-account and miner name, separated by a period (e.g., aleo.001).
- Password: This field is optional and can be left blank.
4. Save settings and start the miner
After saving the configuration, the miner will automatically connect to the ANTPOOL ALEO mining pool and begin mining.
Congratulations! Everything is ready, and you can start your ALEO mining journey in ANTPOOL. If you need additional help or encounter any issues, please contact our customer service team at the email address support@antpool.com.
Happy mining!
