See: HowTo PoW Mine VeriBlock


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, but not the deposit section from exchanges.

It courses sometimes problems and Coins get missing.

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.

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.

If suddenly some files going missing look in your anti-virus detection.

It detects sometimes the miner as an dangerous program.

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
  • 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.
