Step by Step Guide: How to mine CMM (for windows)

1. Hardware and software for mining

You need to download software that depends on your GPU. 

For AMD miners:

  • Claymore's ZCash/BTG AMD GPU Miner download here 

Command line to start miner  

ZecMiner64.exe -zpool <server>:<port> -zwal <address>.<worker> -zpsw <pass>

For NVIDIA miners:

  • dstm's ZCash / Equihash Nvidia Miner download here 

Command line to start miner 

zm.exe --server <server> --user <address>.<worker> --port <port> --pass <pass>
  • EWBF's CUDA Zcash miner download here

Command line to start miner  

miner.exe --server <server> --user <address>.<worker> --port <port> --pass <pass>
  • Bminer download here

Command line to start miner  

bminer.exe --uri stratum://<address>.<worker>:<password>@<server>:<port>

  

2. Get CMM wallet address

  • Download CMM windows wallet here
  • Extract file commercium-0.1-15-win64.zip
  • Run commercium-qt.exe
  • Select data directory

Use the default data directory (C:\Users\XX\AppData\Roaming\Commercium) or 
Use custom data directory that you want 

Click OK 

Note: just ignore (153 GB needed) (blockchain size is about 1.4 GB) 

  • Windows security alert 

This program is trying to receive information from internet. 

Click Allow access

  • Blockchain is syncing, don’t wait we just want the wallet address, go next step 

  • Click File -> Receiving addresses 

  • Get wallet address by select the item and click copy

  3. Pool

Select a pool. You can check CMM pool list at https://miningpoollists.com/commercium/ 

I recommend you to mine a pool that:

  • Low hash rate (Please spread out the hash to avoid 51% attack)
  • Low fee
  • Low ping (reduce rejected shares)

If you join CMM discord, you can check pool list by go to #botchat and type ?pools

4. Start mining

For example

  • I have 2 x 1070 TI and use dstm’s Miner 

Command line to start dstm’s Miner

zm.exe --server <server> --user <address>.<worker> --port <port> --pass <pass>
  • My wallet address is CNAEmMmYqsYha7VyWH2XgptAGk4F3bGtbu
  • Pool is https://vpool.io/ Get additional information from pool website.


<address>: CNAEmMmYqsYha7VyWH2XgptAGk4F3bGtbu
<worker>: rig1
<pass>: x
<server>: us.vpool.io
<port>: 3032

Note: There are 2 servers at EU and US. I select a lower ping server by check ping from command line as shown below  

The complete command line is  

zm.exe --server us.vpool.io --user CNAEmMmYqsYha7VyWH2XgptAGk4F3bGtbu.rig1 --port 3032 --pass x   

Create new text file at the dstm’s miner folder by right click -> New -> Text Document and rename to cmm_vpool_dstm.bat

Use text editor to edit cmm_vpool_dstm.bat

Save and close.
Run cmm_vpool_dstm.bat

The mining status is shown as below

Enjoy mining.


Estimate mining reward

Now at block 321,606 and nethash is 940 KSol/s   

Number of blocks in a day (block time is 0.5 minute)

Number of CMM in a day (block reward is 32 cmm)

Approximately reward if you have 1 Ksol/s and nethash is 940 Ksol/s


A easy way to check the revenue by using CMM discord at #botchat type ?cmm <hashrate>

Note: It is only 34 days before halving at block 420,000 (about July 4, 2018)
