As an example, we’ll take the file setup for Zcoin mining on 2Miners pool:
CryptoDredge.exe -a mtp -o stratum+tcp://xzc.2miners.com:8080 -u YOUR_ADDRESS.RIG_ID -p x
It’s important to enter your wallet address and choose appropriate names for your rigs. You can use latin letters, numbers, as well as symbols “-” and “_”.
After mining starts, you can enter the address in Miner Address search box to see the stats.
Here is what they look like.
