⛏️ eCash Mining Connection Guide

📋 What You Need

• eCash address, use your ecash:q... address. See our Wallet Address Guide or generate a wallet in your browser.
• eCash wallet, you control the private keys for your ecash:q... address (never use an exchange deposit address).
• SHA-256 mining hardware, Bitaxe, NerdMiner, ESP32, ASIC, or similar.
• Internet connection, your miner must stay online to submit shares.

🔧 How to Connect (Step-by-Step)

Step 1: Get your ecash:q... address

Use an existing eCash wallet or generate one in your browser. This address is your stratum username and where payouts are sent.

Step 2: Choose your port

Pick the port below that matches your hashrate (ports 3334–3340 (legacy 3350–3356 also work)).

Step 3: Configure your miner

Use your ecash:q... address as the stratum username. The .workername suffix is optional but recommended for multiple rigs (e.g. ecash:q....bitaxe1).

Step 4: Start mining & check stats

Within a minute you should see accepted shares. View stats on the miner dashboard using your ecash:q... address.

❓ Common Questions

• Why was I rejected at authorize?, Invalid or malformed ecash:q... address, or pool maintenance.
• Can I use a Bitcoin (BTC) address?, No. BTC, BNB, and Trust Wallet default coins will not work. You need XEC addresses.
• Why rejected shares?, Usually the wrong port for your hashrate. Try a higher port.
• What is a worker name?, Optional label after your address to identify multiple rigs (e.g. ecash:q....rig2).
