The official full-node wallet currently requires at least 203GB of storage space to synchronize data. If the hard disk space is insufficient, you can use an exchange or App wallet.

Other third-party wallets : Bitpie (http://bitpie.com/), Kcash (https://www.kcash.com/), BitGo (https://www.bitgo.cc/), etc.

3. Get mining software

The mining software can be obtained through the following link.

F2Pool Version (Nvidia & AMD):

【Baidu Netdisk (extraction code yf2p)】 【Mega Cloud Disk】

The F2Pool version has created a batch file for miners. The default mining pool is F2Pool. You only need to replace the wallet address in the configuration parameters with your own BCD wallet address and save the settings.

Original miner software:

minerOS: https://www.mineros.cn/index.php/zh/, is a graphics card mining machine management system developed based on Linux, which supports cloud batch management of mining machines. The system ROM supports USB and diskless installation, and has built-in third-party original mining software such as Claymore, Bminer, ccminer, EWBF, etc.

Easy Miner: http://www.qskg.top/, supports 70+ currencies, can batch switch mining pools, currencies, wallets with one click; batch upgrade kernel, software, and drivers with one click; batch overclock with one click, no need to rely on small aircraft.

Ccminer: http://ccminer.org/

4. Set mining parameters and start mining

4.1 Mining settings using minerOS

For users who are using minerOS for the first time, please refer to the tutorial: https://www.mineros.cn/index.php/zh/course/primary

Create a BCD mining template, select the fish pool and fill in the wallet address, and apply it to the mining machine, as shown below:

4.2 Use Easy Miner to set up mining

After downloading and installing, run Easy Miner and set it up as follows:

Miner Name: Give the miner a name to distinguish the miner. It can be a combination of numbers or letters.

Currency: Select BCD.

Wallet address: Set your BCD wallet address to receive mining income.

Mining Pool: Select F2Pool.

After the settings are completed, click "Start Mining".

4.3 Mining settings using Ccminer

Download the ccminer mining software, select "Extract files to current folder", and find the "start.bat" file, as shown below:

Right-click "start.bat" and select "Edit". In the "start.bat" file, set the parameters as follows:

ccminer -a bcd -o stratum+tcp://bcd.f2pool.com:5610 -u wallet_address.worker_name -px

When using the F2Pool version of the mining software, you only need to replace the wallet address in the "start.bat" file with your own BCD wallet address, save the settings and run the "start.bat" file. Wallet_address (wallet address) and worker_name (miner number, name the machine, custom such as number or letter combination) are separated by an English period. When modifying, only modify the corresponding characters, and do not add or subtract spaces or punctuation.

If you use the original miner software, you need to create a batch file yourself according to the above commands.

After verifying that the information is correct, save and exit the "start.bat" file, then double-click to run the "start.bat" file to start mining.

5. Check the income

After the machine runs for a while and submits data to the mining pool, you can check the operating status and income of the mining machine. You can visit the F2Pool ( https://www.f2pool.com ) official website, enter the wallet address in the search bar in the upper right corner, and click View to view the mining machine status and income.

You can also use the F2Pool App ( click to download ), select "Quick View" on the login page, enter the BCD wallet address set in the mining software, select BCD as the currency, and log in.
