Bitcoin Pizza - BPA (BitcoinPizza) graphics card mining tutorial

BPA (BitcoinPizza)

1. Get wallet address

Similar to ETH, ZEC and other currencies mining, when using graphics cards to mine BPA, you first need to have a BPA payment address. How to get a BPA wallet is http://miner.tools/portal/article/index/cid/20/id/130.

2. Mining software acquisition

Because the mining algorithm used by BPA is the same as that of ZEC, the mining software is also consistent with ZEC for the time being.

If you have not mined ZEC before, you can get it through the following link:

3. Set the parameters in the mining software and start mining

1) Nvidia card mining

After obtaining the mining software, decompress the mining software and find the "start.bat" file.

Right click on "start.bat" and select Edit:

Open the following window, and the parameters are as shown in the figure below. To set up BPA mining, you need to check the mining pool address and set the miner's own BPA coin receiving address and miner number. If there are multiple machines, the miner number is used to distinguish different machines, so don't miss that point. When modifying, only change the corresponding characters, and don't delete spaces and punctuation. Click Save after the modification is completed.

The specific parameters are described as follows:

miner This means you want to run the mining software in this folder directory

--server is the mining pool server to be linked, which can be an IP or domain name. The default value is bpa.vvpool.com, the BPA mining pool of F2Pool.

--port is the port number, the default is 3055

--user is the mining user name, also known as the miner number. This is of utmost importance. If you fill it in incorrectly, you may not get any benefits. Here you need to set a BPA wallet address. For formal mining, please replace it with the recharge address given to you by the exchange or your own wallet address.

And the miner number is used to distinguish the computing power between different machines. Please fill in different numbers for different machines to facilitate maintenance and distinction.

Don't worry about the following parameters.

After setting the mining parameters, save the "start.bat" file, double-click it to start mining. If it runs smoothly, the following interface will appear.

2) Mining with A-Card

After obtaining the mining software, unzip the mining software and find the "config" file.

Double-click to open the file, as shown in the figure below, check the BPA mining pool address and port number, and set the miner's own BPA coin receiving address and miner number. If there are multiple machines, the miner number is used to distinguish different machines, so don't miss that point. When modifying, only change the corresponding characters, and do not delete spaces and punctuation. After the modification is completed, click Save.

Then, find the mining program "ZecMiner64" file, double-click it to start mining.

If the setup goes smoothly, the following mining interface will appear:

It should be noted that BPA's A-card miner software has just been upgraded from ZEC. In the miner software, the currency displayed is still ZEC, which has no effect. As long as the computing power appears, such as Total Speed: 859.319H/s in the above picture, or similar words, it will be fine.

4. Mining machine monitoring and revenue viewing methods

To check the operating status and daily income of the BPA mining machine, you can visit the VVPOOL official website.

Visit: http://www.vvpool.com/address_stats

Enter the BPA address for mining in the search box in the upper right corner of the page and click View. The following interface will appear, where you can monitor the computing power curve and mining income.

1. How to set the mining program to start automatically at boot time

Add the batch processing tool in the mining software to the startup items so that it can be automatically started when the machine restarts.

According to the above requirements, set up the startup batch file of the mining software (in this example, the start.bat file).

Select Create Shortcut, and then paste the shortcut to the C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp folder. (The ProgramData folder is a hidden file, you need to select Show hidden folders in "View" to view it)

Then, restart the computer and the mining software will start automatically.
