Pigeon coin mining tutorial

Pigeon coin, referred to as PGN, Chinese name: Pigeon coin, is a new currency launched by the founding team after optimizing the Raven coin algorithm. It has small computing power fluctuations and is ASIC-resistant. The new algorithm is: x16s.

PGN can be mined through graphics card mining machines. Currently, N cards and A cards are supported, and both Windows systems and NVIDIA systems can be used for mining.

2. Detailed tutorial introduction

First, you need to obtain a Pigeon coin wallet to store and send PGN. You can obtain it through the following methods.

1. Full Node Wallet:

The full node wallet can be downloaded and installed from the official website: http://pigeoncoin.org/.

Supports Windows, Mac and Linux systems.

When using a full-node wallet, be sure to save the wallet's seed file "wallet.bat" for remote recovery.

2. Light wallet:

None

3. Exchange:

https://exvo.io/

Currently, EXVO exchange supports Pigeon coin deposits, withdrawals and transactions. Miners can use EXVO's deposit address as the mining address for mining.

【Note】: This exchange is a new exchange and the relevant risks need to be borne by the miners themselves.

Next, get the mining software.

Miners can download mining software through the following links. The following software has been verified and can be used normally. The F2Pool version has preset the batch file format. Miners only need to modify the wallet address to mine.

The developer original version is the initial version, which includes mining software for Windows and Linux. If you use the Linux system, you can download the corresponding mining software through the original link.

ŸDeveloper original version:

[nevermore miner (N card)]: https://github.com/brian112358/nevermore-miner/releases/

[sgminer (A card)]: https://github.com/brian112358/sgminer-x16r/releases/tag/v0.4.0

[suprminer (N card)]: https://github.com/ocminer/suprminer/releases

Then, set the parameters according to the situation of your own mining machine and start mining.

For A-card mining machine , download the A-card mining software, decompress it, and find the "start" file, as shown in the figure below.

Right-click the "start" file, select "Edit", and after opening it, fill in the following command line:

set GPU FORCE 64BIT_PTR=0

set GPU USE SYNC_OBJECTS=1

set GPU MAX ALLOC_PERCENT=100

set GPU SINGLE ALLOC_PERCENT=100

set GPU MAX HEAP_SIZE=100

sgminer.exe -k x16s -o stratum+tcp://pigeon.f2pool.com:5750 -u wallet address.miner number -p donate -I 19

The meanings of the various parameters are as follows (for more detailed information, please read the "README" file):

Ÿ set * …… * Mining software initialization information, just keep it unchanged

Ÿ sgminer.exe runs the program named "sgminer.exe" in the same folder

Ÿ -k calls the x16s algorithm

Ÿ -o connected mining pool address, and miner number, F2Pool version program, the default mining pool is: stratum+tcp://pigeon.f2pool.com:5750

Ÿ -u your wallet address and worker number, separated by a period. Be sure to replace the wallet address with your own, otherwise you will not get any benefits.

Verify that the mining pool address and port are correct, modify and fill in the correct wallet address and miner number, save and exit the "start" file, and the parameter settings are complete (as shown in the figure below). Directly run the "start" file to start mining.

Note that you only need to run the 'start' file, and do not run other programs.

If the computer configuration is correct and the mining parameters are set correctly, after starting the software, wait a few minutes and the following interface will appear, indicating that mining has started successfully.

There are many kinds of mining software for N card mining machines , which are basically modified and optimized based on ccminer. The setting methods are similar. Nevermore miner is taken as an example for introduction.

Download the mining software, unzip it, and find the "start" file, as shown in the figure below.

Right-click the "start" file, select "Edit", and after opening it, fill in the following command line:

ccminer -a x16s -o stratum+tcp://pigeon.f2pool.com:5750 -u wallet address.miner number-px -i 19 --donate 1 -N 300

The meanings of the various parameters are as follows (for more detailed information, please read "README"):

Ÿ ccminer runs in the same folder, the file name is "ccminer" program

Ÿ -a Use x16s algorithm

Ÿ -o connected mining pool address and port number, F2Pool version, the default mining pool address is: stratum+tcp://pigeon.f2pool.com:5750

Ÿ -u Fill in your wallet address and miner number

Ÿ -i: the intensity of the GPU used, such as -i 19,20 (which means that GPU0 sets the mining intensity to 19, GPU1 sets the mining intensity to 20, and the mining intensity of other graphics cards is automatically adjusted)

Ÿ --donate donation ratio, which is the ratio of computing power donated to developers, with a minimum of 1%

Verify that the mining pool address and port are correct, modify and fill in the correct wallet address and miner number, save and exit the "start" file, and the parameter settings are complete (as shown in the figure below). Directly run the "start" file to start mining.

If all parameters are set correctly and everything goes smoothly, the following interface will appear, and mining will start successfully.

For other mining software, after obtaining the corresponding miner software, decompress it, modify the mining parameters of the "start" file, and run mining. The relevant mining parameters are set as follows:

【suprminer】：

ccminer.exe -a x16s -o stratum+tcp://pigeon.f2pool.com:5750 -u wallet address.miner number-px

[RHM-PGN (0 dev fee)]:

ccminer.exe -a x16s -R 5 -o stratum+tcp://pigeon.f2pool.com:5750 -u wallet address.miner number -pc=PGN

3. Mining machine monitoring and revenue query methods

Visit the official website of F2Pool: https://www.f2pool.com, click the search icon in the upper right corner, enter the PGN address set in the mining software, and click "View", as shown below:

You can check the mining machine status and revenue.

4. How to set the startup method

Add the mining software to the startup items, and it will start automatically when the machine restarts. The specific method is as follows:

Right-click the mining software you want to run and select "Create Shortcut". Then paste this shortcut to the C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp folder. (The ProgramData folder is a hidden file and you need to select Show hidden folders in "View" to view it)

The settings are now complete. The next time you restart your computer, the mining software will start automatically.
