PandaMiner Ethereum GPU Miner Mining Tutorial

PandaMiner Ethereum GPU Miner Mining Tutorial

PandaMiner contains 8 specially customized AMD RX480s, carefully designed to bring GPU mining to an unprecedented level of efficiency. In addition, PandaMiner is developed using the Windows operating system and is equipped with three mainstream competitive mining solutions: ETH, Zcash, and Monero XMR.

In this article, ZEUS MINING will introduce the usage tutorial of PandaMiner in detail for the majority of miners.

Miner connection

The picture below shows the renderings we received from PandaMiner.

We can see that there are 7 6pin ports on the miner's side. It is used to connect the PSU.

There are also the following ports on the other side of the miner, they are:

HDMI 1: HDMI for GPU

HDMI 2: Motherboard HDMI, connect the monitor

USB: for file transfer

NET: connect to the network

LED: working status indicator

The connection of miners is also very simple. First, you need to prepare a monitor (supporting HDMI), a keyboard and a mouse. Among them, the monitor, keyboard and mouse are used for miner configuration, and the monitor, keyboard and mouse are no longer needed after configuration.

First, connect all the data cables, connect the PSU to the miner through the 6PIN port.

Via the HDMI 2 port, connect the monitor to the miner.

The two USB ports on the miner connect the keyboard and mouse respectively.

Then connect the ethernet cable.

The connection is complete.

Mining guide

·Turn on the power and turn on the monitor.

·Press the "POWER" button on the miner to start the miner. Due to the small size of the "POWER" button, it is recommended to use a pin.

·The mining system of the miner is the "Windows" operating system. After a while, the Windows system will start.

We can see that ETH, Zcash, XMR mining folders, and shortcuts on the desktop. they are:

eth: ETH mining folder.

eth.bat: ETH mining shortcut.

zcash: zcash mining folder.

zcash.bat: zcash mining shortcut.

XMR: XMR mining folder.

·The mining configuration is the same as you use the GPU of your PC for mining. Next, we will take ETH and Zcash as examples to explain the miner's mining instructions in detail.

ETH mining guide

You can set it up by following the instructions below:

· Navigate to the file "eth" -> "Claymore's Ethereum AMD GPU Miner v4.1 - POOL".

·Right-click the file "start.bat" and select "EDIT" in the pop-up menu.

We will see the following ETH mining command. The content of the command is:

setx gpu_force_64bit_ptr 0

setx gpu_max_heap_size 100

setx gpu_use_sync_objects 1

set gpu_single_alloc_percent = 100

ethdcrminer64.exe -epool eth.f2pool.com:8008 -ewal 0xa51d11bf2a9aae355fd6f2a5b1b14e1404572c2 -eworker arig-apsw x -dbg -1

·If you use f2pool for mining, you just need to modify the wallet address in the command to your own.

· Press "Ctrl + S" to save the command and close the file.

·Double-click "start.bat," and mining will start automatically.

·You can also double-click the "eth.bat" shortcut on the desktop to run ETH mining after the configuration is complete.

·The configuration of different pools will be different; it is recommended to check the GUIDE page of the mining pool to learn how to configure the mining machine.

Zcash mining guide

· Navigate to the file "zcash" -> "ZCash v9.1"

· Right-click the file "config.txt" and select "EDIT" in the pop-up menu.

· After clicking, you will see the following Zcash mining configuration:

· Modify the wallet address in the command to your wallet address.

· Then press "Ctrl + S" to save the command and close the file.

· Finally, double-click "start.bat," and mining will start automatically.

· You can also double-click the "zcash" shortcut on the desktop to run Zcash mining after configuration.
