2. Get the wallet address

VBK uses wallet addresses for mining. Currently, there is no exchange support and wallet addresses cannot be obtained from exchanges. You can use the VBK official wallet. The wallet address acquisition method is as follows:

1. Download and install the Java library, [Download address] Extraction code: zzdl

Original download link.

2. Download the official wallet, current version 0.4.1, [Download address] Extraction code: zzdl

Original download link.

3. Unzip the downloaded official wallet, find the batch file "start.bat", and double-click to run it.

4. Enter the command startnodecore in the window that appears, press Enter, minimize the new window (synchronization block) that pops up, and return to the original window to continue the following operations.

5. Enter the command connect 127.0.0.1:10500 in the original window and press Enter.

6. Enter the command getinfo and press Enter. The string of characters starting with V after address is your wallet address. Select it and press Ctrl+C. The wallet address is copied successfully and saved for later use.

Notice:

1. The wallet file is in nodecore-0.4.1\bin\mainnet\wallet.dat. This "wallet.dat" file is required when using or restoring the wallet in a different location. Please keep it properly.

2. Enter "help" in the window above to get other commands. Common commands are as follows:

getbalance Get the balance of the specified wallet address. For example, getbalance VH1ggLJk4pjA7mJbidaGxQt5K8Sinw

getnewaddress Generate a new wallet address

send <amount> <address> transfers a specified amount of VBK to a specified wallet address. For example, send 10 VH1ggLJk4pjA7mJbidaGxQt5K8Sinw

backupwallet <targetLocation> backup wallet to the specified path

3. Get mining software

The mining software can be obtained through the following link.

F2Pool Version (Nvidia & AMD):

【Baidu Netdisk (extraction code rzss)】 【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 VBK 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: qskg.top, supports 60+ 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.

4.1 Mining settings using minerOS

4.1.1 Install minerOS

To use minerOS to connect to the mining pool for VBK mining, you first need to install minerOS. The installation steps are as follows:

1. For miners who have not installed minerOS, you must first visit the mineros official website and register a minerOS account. Miners who have already installed minerOS can skip this installation part and upgrade to version 1.7.0 or above in the management background.

2. Prepare a USB flash drive or mobile hard disk with more than 16GB, and download the disc burning tool of version V1.1.6 or above. Click here to download .

3. After downloading, double-click to install. After installation, the burning tool will pop up automatically.

4. Miners without basic knowledge can choose "Newbie Burning", enter the registered minerOS account and password, select the graphics card model, version number and the USB flash drive to be burned, and the burning will be completed in a few minutes.

5. Insert the burned USB flash drive or mobile hard disk into the mining machine. After the mining machine is turned on, it will automatically activate to the minerOS account just registered. You can operate the mining machine by logging in to minerOS.

The above is a simplified installation process. For the detailed installation process of minerOS, please refer to the " minerOS Installation Tutorial ". Note: The version of the disc burning tool in this tutorial is too low, please do not download and use it.
