How to set up Stratu.ms on Whatsminer ASICs?
You can use various MicroBT's Whatsminer ASIC models with Stratu.ms as we support SHA-256 that can be mined with these machines. Regardless of the ASIC model, each Whatsminer can be configured similarly.
First, you will need to create a new stratum on your Stratu.ms dashboard. You can find the instructions for each stratum type on the following links:
Once your stratum is deployed, you will receive a unique stratum address with port, which you copy and paste to your Whatsminer's dashboard.
You can find Whatsminer's dashboard by opening your ASIC's local IP in the browser. For example, if your ASIC's local IP is 192.168.0.45, then open the following link in your browser: https://192.168.0.45 and login with your username and password. Click on [Configuration] and then [CGMiner Configuration] where you can set your pools and backup pools.
Under Pool 1 enter the newly generated Stratu.ms address.
Under Pool1 worker you can enter two different options:
- User.Worker where User is your username or wallet with which you identify on pool and Worker is the worker's name. Do note that in this case User parameter will be ignored as you already defined it in the Stratu.ms dashboard, while Worker will be used as a worker's name that is sent to the pool (if you selected "from machine" on your Stratu.ms address).
- Worker where Worker is your worker's name that is sent to the pool (if you selected "from machine" on your Stratu.ms address).
For the Pool1 password field the value doesn't matter as you defined it in the Stratu.ms already.
You can also leave Pool 2 and Pool 3 empty as Stratu.ms will reconnect from pool to pool and in case your ASIC machine thinks that you were disconnected from the pool, it will start mining to Pool 2 or Pool 3. If Pool 2 and Pool 3 aren't Stratu.ms addresses, you won't mine to the settings defined on Stratu.ms.
Click [Save & Apply] and your ASIC will connect to the pool via Stratu.ms.
