Choose your mining mode and follow the steps below to start mining ETH II

Mode 1
Pool Mining
Recommended for most miners
Combine your hashrate with other miners. You earn proportional shares every time the pool finds a block. Steady, predictable payouts.
Pool fee: 1%  ·  Payout: PPLNS
Mode 2
Solo Mining
High risk, full reward
Mine independently through the pool. If your miner finds the block, you keep the entire 5 ETHII reward (minus 1% pool fee). Best for high-hashrate miners.
Pool fee: 1%  ·  Payout: Full block reward
Pool Ports
PortProtocolUse For
3335Stratum (standard)All miners — pool and solo, GPU rigs, most ASICs
3336EthProxy / A10 compatInnosilicon A10, EtherMine-compatible firmware, ethminer / Rigel
3334Low-difficulty StratumCPU miners, low-hashrate GPUs, test rigs, <100 MH/s
Not sure which port? Use 3335. If your ASIC uses Innosilicon A10-style firmware or you run ethminer/Rigel, try 3336. If you have a low-hashrate rig (CPU or <100 MH/s GPU), use 3334 for a lower share difficulty so you receive steady work and see your shares accepted.
Pool Mining Setup
1
Set your mining pool URL
In your miner or ASIC web interface, set the stratum URL to:
stratum+tcp://ethii.net:3335
2
Set your username (wallet address)
Set the username field to your ETH II wallet address, optionally followed by a dot and a worker name:
Username format 0xYOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS
0xYOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS.WorkerName
Example: 0x924702c55f755AaE14634b8ad41c74F4938705e6.MyASIC
3
Set password
Password can be anything. Most miners use x
4
Verify connection
Your miner should appear on the Miners page within 1–2 minutes.
Solo Mining Setup
1
Use the same pool URL
stratum+tcp://ethii.net:3335
2
Add solo: prefix to your username
This is the only difference from pool mining. Prefix your wallet address with solo:
Solo username format solo:0xYOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS
solo:0xYOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS.WorkerName
Example: solo:0x924702c55f755AaE14634b8ad41c74F4938705e6.MyASIC
3
Password
Same as pool mining — use x or any value.
4
Block reward goes directly to you
When your miner finds a block, the full 5 ETHII reward minus 1% fee (4.95 ETHII) is paid directly to your wallet. You will appear on the Miners page with a Solo badge.
Solo tip: Solo mining is high-variance. Pool mining gives steadier income at any hashrate. Only switch to solo if you have enough hashrate to find blocks at a reasonable frequency.
Low-Hashrate Mining Setup (Port 3334)
1
Use port 3334 if you have <100 MH/s
Port 3334 uses a much lower share difficulty (~0.0002 vs full network difficulty). This means your miner receives shares it can actually solve, so you see accepted shares and contribute to the pool.
stratum+tcp://ethii.net:3334
2
Username and password are the same
Use your wallet address as the username. Solo prefix works here too.
Pool mode 0xYOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS.WorkerName

Solo mode solo:0xYOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS.WorkerName
3
What changes on low-diff port
Your miner receives work with a lower target difficulty so shares are accepted frequently. The actual block submission difficulty is unchanged — real blocks are still submitted to the network at full difficulty. You just see more accepted share counts on low-hashrate hardware.
CPU / test miner tip: On port 3335 a CPU or very low GPU may go many hours without a single accepted share because the difficulty is too high. Port 3334 fixes this immediately.
