ALPH miners<\/a> because of its low dev fee, clean configuration, and active development. lolMiner is a close second and tends to perform slightly better on certain AMD GPU models.<\/span><\/p>\nStep-by-Step Pool Mining Setup (BzMiner on Windows)<\/h3>\n
Step 1: Download BzMiner<\/p>\n
Go to the official BzMiner GitHub page (github.com\/bzminer\/bzminer) and download the latest release for Windows. You’ll receive a ZIP file. Extract it to a permanent location like C:\\Mining\\BzMiner\\. Avoid directory paths with spaces, as these can cause issues on some Windows configurations.<\/p>\n
Step 2: Copy Your ALPH Wallet Address<\/p>\n
Open your Alephium desktop wallet and copy your ALPH address from the main screen. It starts with “1” followed by a string of alphanumeric characters. Double-check there are no extra spaces when you paste it. A single wrong character means your rewards get sent into the void.<\/p>\n
Step 3\u00a0 Edit the Config File<\/p>\n
Inside the BzMiner folder, find alph.bat (Windows) or alph.sh (Linux). Right-click and open it in Notepad or any text editor. You’ll see a template that looks like this:<\/p>\n
@echo off\r\nbzminer -a alph -w YOUR_ALEPHIUM_WALLET_ADDRESS -p stratum+tcp:\/\/de.alephium.herominers.com:1199\r\npause<\/code><\/pre>\nReplace YOUR_ALEPHIUM_WALLET_ADDRESS with your actual wallet address. Optionally, append a worker name after a dot like YOUR_ADDRESS.RIG1\u00a0 to identify your machine on the pool dashboard. If you run multiple rigs, name each one uniquely (RIG1, RIG2, GARAGE, etc.) for easier monitoring and troubleshooting.<\/p>\n
Step 4: Choose the Right Regional Server<\/p>\n
Herominers offers servers in multiple regions:<\/p>\n
\n- EU: de.alephium.herominers.com:1199<\/li>\n
- USA: us.alephium.herominers.com:1199<\/li>\n
- Asia: sg.alephium.herominers.com:1199<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Pick the one that physically corresponds to your location.<\/p>\n
Step 5: Save and Run<\/p>\n
Save your edited BAT file and double-click it to launch. A terminal window opens showing your GPU(s) connecting to the pool and submitting shares. Seeing “Share accepted” messages means everything is working. If you see connection errors, recheck the pool URL and port number carefully.<\/p>\n
Step 6: Monitor Your Stats<\/p>\n
Open your pool’s website and paste your wallet address into the miner search bar. After about 15\u201330 minutes, your hashrate, submitted shares, and pending reward balance will appear. Check this dashboard regularly; a flatlined hashrate is usually the first sign that your miner has crashed silently.<\/p>\n
Setting Up Mining on HiveOS<\/h2>\n
Many serious miners prefer HiveOS over Windows because it’s purpose-built for mining operations, it boots faster, uses fewer system resources, and supports remote management and automatic restarts. Here’s a quick setup guide for Alephium on HiveOS.<\/p>\n
HiveOS Quick Setup for ALPH Mining<\/h3>\n\n- Create a HiveOS account<\/b> at hiveos. farm and download the HiveOS image.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Flash the image<\/b> to a USB drive using Balena Etcher and boot your mining rig from that USB.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Register your rig<\/b> using the Farm Hash displayed on screen during first boot.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Add a Wallet<\/b> in HiveOS: navigate to Wallets, paste your ALPH address, and select Alephium as the coin type.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Create a Flight Sheet<\/b>: choose Alephium as the coin, your wallet, your pool (e.g., Herominers), and BzMiner or lolMiner as the mining software.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Apply the Flight Sheet<\/b> to your rig with one click and watch it start mining.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
HiveOS also lets you configure overclocking profiles directly in the interface, view live GPU temperatures and fan speeds, set auto-restart rules, and receive Telegram or Discord alerts if any GPU drops offline. For anyone managing more than two or three rigs, the quality-of-life improvement over Windows is substantial and well worth the minor learning curve.<\/span><\/p>\nOptimising Your Mining Performance<\/h2>\n
Getting your rig running is the starting line, not the finish line. Squeezing the most profitable output from your hardware is an ongoing process. Here are the practical techniques that experienced miners use to stay efficient.<\/p>\n
GPU Overclocking Guidance for Blake3<\/h3>\n
Blake3 is a compute-heavy algorithm, not a memory-heavy one. This is the most important thing to understand when overclocking for ALPH. Your primary lever is core clock speed. Cranking memory clocks will not produce meaningful hashrate gains and may actually destabilise the rig.<\/span><\/p>\n
