Introduction
XMR Monero
Homepage   Explorer   Wallets   Exchanges   
Monero (XMR) is an open-source cryptocurrency created in April 2014 that focuses on privacy and decentralization and is available for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and FreeBSD. Monero uses a public ledger to record transactions while new units are created through a process called mining. Monero aims to improve the existing cryptocurrency design by obscuring sender, recipient and amount of every transaction made, and make the mining process more egalitarian. 


Applicable Miners
CPU and GPU Mining (NVIDA and AMD Graphic Cards) are available for XMR mining. 


Payment Methods 
Choose XMR payment method in ViaBTC. (What are PPS+, PPLNS and SOLO?)

XMR mining URL:
stratum+tcp://mining.viabtc.io:3005
stratum+tcp://mining.viabtc.io:305


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 at 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.


Recommended settings are as follows:
Stratum URL 1: ViaBTC pool port 80
Stratum URL 2: other pool’s stratum URL


If my miner is disconnected, how to fix it?
The status will become active after the miner keep 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.
