How to mine Qitmeer

Qitmeer Network is a new generation of blockchain dedicated to enhancing financial inclusion and creating social impact. It adopts a classic PoW consensus, UTXO data model, and applies a BlockDAG protocol to achieve high throughput while maintaining strong security and decentralization.

With support from the HLC Foundation, Qitmeer’s research and development began early 2018. The open source code was published on GitHub on 2019-06-30 and on 2021-09-30 its new stage, Umayyad Network Mainnet, went live.

What is Qitmeer mining?

General overview

Qitmeer adopts a hybrid consensus model called MeerDAG that combines SPECTRE and GHOSTDAG, both BlockDAG protocols.

Like Bitcoin, Qitmeer uses a UTXO model in which each transaction spends an output from a prior transaction and generates new outputs that can be spent on future transactions.

To keep the block creation rate stable, Qitmeer adjusts the mining difficulty about every 30 minutes.

How do I set up the software and create an account?

Step 1: Create a wallet address

Creating a wallet address is always the first step when diving into a new blockchain network. You’ll need a wallet address to check and receive payouts to mine Qitmeer with f2pool.

You can choose to run a full node as a wallet or use another wallet solution. You may choose the KAHF wallets, or an exchange such as Jubi. Note: You should always do your due diligence when choosing a wallet provider or exchange.

Step 2: Create an f2pool account

You’ll need to create an f2pool account before mining Qitmeer. If you don’t have one yet, please click here to register.

Set an account name. This will be required for configuration. You are free to create multiple subaccounts to monitor your workers/miners.

Now, add your Qitmeer wallet address created in Step 1 and add enter it in the payout settings. You can set a payout threshold and check hashrate changes and your rewards once you start contributing mining power.

You can add or change your payout address in your Payout Settings. f2pool distributes mining revenues daily to every user who reaches the payout threshold.

Step 3: Configuration

Now that you have a wallet and an f2pool account name, you can proceed to configure your mining device.

ASIC and FPGA miners are easier to use compared to GPUs and CPUs, which are not profitable for mining Qitmeer. No mining software is required to be run on your computer. All you need is the proper electricity set-up to meet the power consumption requirements and a reliable internet connection.

Please note that your ASICs or FPGAs should have a wired connection to your local network and that your computer and your devices should be on the same network.

Use any modern browser that accesses the IP address of your machine, then connect to an f2pool server. You’ll need to enter the following information into your mining device:

URL: stratum+tcp://meer.f2pool.com:7300

Username: accountName.workerName

Password: Enter a password of your choice

Please note

1. Your accountNname is provided in your Account Settings.

2. workerName is optional, but we recommend labeling each of your mining devices with a separate workerName for more efficient monitoring.

ASICs or FPGAs take just a few steps to configure. Once you’ve configured your device and saved your settings, you’re ready to start mining and earning rewards.
