Setup Generator

Note: Using the setup generator is highly recommended if you are new to crypto mining

Stratum Configuration

All of our stratum servers utilize GeoIP routing which automatically selects the server with the closest geographical proximity to your mining operation, resulting in optimal latency.

Login using your wallet address as username. An optional workername can be appended to your address separated by a dot character. Leave the password blank.

SSL/TLS: To connect using SSL/TLS please add 10 to the respective port number. For ccminer, claymore and sgminer change the protocol from stratum+tcp:// to stratum+ssl://. For dstm's Miner change the protocol from stratum+tcp:// to ssl://.

Static difficulty: To mine with a static (fixed) difficulty simply use d=xxx as password in your miner configuration where xxx denotes your preferred difficulty.

Z-Addresses

In addition to the standard t-addresses (transparent address), we also support payouts directly to z-addresses for transaction shielding and complete balance privacy.

Windows GPU Mining Nvidia

• Download dstm for Windows
• Extract the archive and create start.bat in a text-editor of your choice
• Select all and Paste:

@echo OFF
zm.exe --server ssl://btcp.coinfoundry.org --port 3116 --user YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS

• Replace YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS with your Bitcoin Private address. If you don't know your address, read this section first.
• If you are mining on multiple machines/rigs, you can append an identifier of your choice to your wallet address seperated by a dot to make it easier to distinguish between your rigs when evaluating your results. Example: <WALLET ADDRESS>.<WORKERNAME>
• Save the file
• Run start.bat

Linux GPU Mining Nvidia

• Download dstm for Linux
• Extract the archive and create start.sh in a text-editor of your choice
• Paste:

#!/bin/sh
./zm --server ssl://btcp.coinfoundry.org --port 3116 --user YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS

• Replace YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS with your Bitcoin Private address. If you don't know your address, read this section first.

Getting a Wallet

Before you can start to mine you need to create a wallet. Although Bitcoin Private is an entirely digital asset, you still need a place to store them. This is done in a digital wallet. There are multiple methods to obtain a wallet which vary by ease of use and the security they provide.

Official Wallets

Official first-party Wallets for all major platforms are available from the Bitcoin Private Website. These wallets are released and maintained by the Bitcoin Private Team.

Hardware Wallets

A hardware wallet is a special type of wallet which stores the user's private keys in a secure hardware device. Hardware wallets offer robust safety features for storing cryptographic assets and securing digital payments. Popular hardware wallets are the Ledger Nano S and the Trezor.

Registering with a Crypto-Exchange

There are multiple digital currency exchanges you can register with. Registering with an exchange allows you to create a wallet on the exchange for every currency the exchange supports.

Popular exchanges are: Binance, Bittrex, Poloniex, Kraken, Bitfinex and HitBTC.
