Pool Mining
You can POW mine VBK with all Nvidia/AMD Cards with 8 GB of VRAM or more.
You can find the current list of active pool on https://miningpoolstats.stream/veriblock
If you don't want to use your own Node as a Wallet please use the Zelcore Wallet or SPV wallet, but not the deposit section from exchanges.
- SPV - HowTo_run_SPV
- ZelCore - ZelCore
It sometimes causes problems and Coins get missing.
Note that you do NOT need a full NodeCore instance to PoW mine.
NVIDIA Cards Pool Mining
All cards with over 8 GB vRAM are supported
- First Step is to download the newest version from the T-Rex miner: https://github.com/trexminer/T-Rex/releases ( DO NOT USE T-REX versions 0.24.2 till 0.24.5!, as they seem not to run stable for VBK )
- extract the folder and edit one of those .bat files.
- now delete everything and fill this in: t-rex.exe -a progpow-veriblock -o stratum+tcp://PoolURL:Port -u ADDRESS -p x
- save the file now and rename it to VBK.bat
- Your miner should now be ready to work
If suddenly some files going missing look in your anti-virus detection.
It detects sometimes the miner as an dangerous program.
TODO - sample file looks like so t-rex.exe -a progpow-veriblock -o stratum+tcp://PoolURL:Port -u ADDRESS -p x
AMD Cards Pool Minig
All cards with over 8 GB vRAM are supported
- First Step is to download the newest version from the WildRig miner: https://github.com/andru-kun/wildrig-multi/releases
- extract the folder and edit the start-vbk.bat file.
- now change the veriblock.luckypool.io:9501 to the pool you prefer ( PoolURL:Port ) and the already filled in Wallet Address to yours.
- Now save this file and you should be ready to go.

Solo Mining
Currently is the only way to solo mine to connect to create with your own Node a Mining Pool.
Setup Nodecore
- download the newest Nodecore version: https://github.com/VeriBlock/nodecore-releases
- see: NodeCore_QuickStart
- let the bootstrap downloader sync to the blockchain ( that can take a few hours )
- now run nodecore.bat file and wait until it successfully cached up to the network.
Create a SoloPool
- run start_cli.bat and type " connect 127.0.0.1:10500 "
- after a successful connection you can type " startsolopool "
- now your solopool is ready to connect with your local miner
You can view all Pool stats under http://127.0.0.1:8500
Connect to your SoloPool
- go to your T-Rex or WildRig miner and fill as PoolURL:Port 127.0.0.1:8501 in.
- after saving the file you should be able to connect to your Pool and submit shares.
You can see if and when you found a Block on the Pool Website http://127.0.0.1:8500 ( you can open this Website only when the SoloPool is running on your Device ).
The payouts are immediately to your Nodecore Address.
