3. Set mining proxy 

1）T-Rex: Unzip it to a separate folder and find "start.bat". Open it with TextPad or any applicable editor and re-edit the file:
t-rex.exe -a ethash --coin etc -o stratum+tcp://mining.viabtc.io:3010 -u username.worker -p x --fork-at etchash=epoch:390 pause

2）T-Rex: Unzip it to a separate folder and find "start.bat". Open it with TextPad or any applicable editor and re-edit the file:
miner.exe --algo etchash --server mining.viabtc.io:3010 --user username.worker

3）T-Rex: Unzip it to a separate folder and find "start.bat". Open it with TextPad or any applicable editor and re-edit the file:
lolMiner.exe --algo ETCHASH --mining.viabtc.io:3010 --user username.worker pause

Note:
1. Please change the username into the one used for your main/sub account in ViaBTC, change worker into your miner name, Click "Save" to save your current settings. 
2. If the port "3010" is not available, you can also use an alternate address to connect:
mining.viabtc.io:310

4. Deploy Mining 
Double click "start.bat" to start mining.


Monitoring & Earnings
After the miner has been stabilized for around 10-15 mins , you can check operation status and profits via Workers and Earnings page. You can also download ViaPool to view the related data at any time.


Payout
Auto Withdrawal      (ZERO fee and unified payment everyday, recommended!)
Normal Transfer       (Transfer anytime but fee is required)
Inter-user Transfer   (ZERO confirmation and fee)
Transfer to CoinEx    (ZERO confirmation and fee)


Why do I need to set multiple ports?
We recommend that users set multiple ports to ensure stable and sustainable mining. Should one of them is inactive, the miner will switch to the next one automatically.


If my miner is disconnected, how to fix it?
The status will become active after the miner keeps running for around 10 to 20 minutes.  
If the worker keeps producing invalid shares, please check your settings on the dashboard.
If the issue remains unresolved after checking, feel free to send us a ticket.
