1 Get a ViceversaChain Wallet

Before you can start mining, you need a ViceversaChain wallet address to receive your mining rewards.

Create a wallet using the ViceversaChain daemon:


                            # Start the daemon

                            ./viceversachaind -daemon


                            # Create a new address

                            ./viceversachain-cli getnewaddress "mining"


                            # This will output your wallet address, for example:

                            VCxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Save this address - you'll need it for mining configuration

2 Choose Your Mining Software

ViceversaChain uses the SHA256d algorithm. You can mine with CPU or ASIC hardware.

CPU Miner

Recommended for testing and learning


                                # Install cpuminer

                                sudo apt-get install cpuminer


                                # Or download from:

                                github.com/pooler/cpuminer

ASIC Miners

For serious mining (Antminer S19, S9, etc.)

Antminer series
WhatsMiner series
Any SHA256 compatible ASIC

3 Configure and Start Mining

Pool Connection Details:

Stratum URL

stratum+tcp://forge.viceversachain.org:3333

Username Format

WALLET.worker1

CPU Miner Command (cpuminer):


                            cpuminer -a sha256d \

                              -o stratum+tcp://forge.viceversachain.org:3333 \

                              -u YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS.worker1 \

                              -p x \

                              -t 4

-a sha256d: Mining algorithm

-o: Pool stratum URL

-u: Your wallet + worker name

-t 4: Number of CPU threads

Important: Replace localhost with the pool's actual IP address or domain if mining remotely. Replace YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS with your actual ViceversaChain wallet address.

Frequently Asked Questions

When will I receive my first payment?

Payments are processed automatically every 5 minutes once your balance reaches the minimum payout threshold of 1 VIVE. Blocks must mature (120 confirmations) before they can be paid out.

How are mining rewards calculated?

Mining rewards are distributed using PROP (Proportional) method based on the number of shares you submit. The pool takes a 1% fee from block rewards.

Why is my hashrate fluctuating?

Hashrate is calculated based on submitted shares over time. Small fluctuations are normal. The longer you mine, the more accurate the displayed hashrate will be.
