2. Obtain a wallet address

A Dash wallet address is required to receive and monitor your mining revenue.

Mining revenue is distributed daily to every user who reaches the payout threshold of 0.1 DASH. Details about our payout method and fees can be found here.

You’ll need to get a wallet address if you don’t have one already. We recommend the official full node wallet. You can also choose an exchange, such as Binance or Huobi. Note: You should always do your own due diligence when choosing a wallet provider or exchange.

3. Configure your mining device

Your miner must be connected to the f2pool server listed below for your hashrate and revenue to be recorded and monitored.

You’ll need to enter the following information in your mining device:

URL: stratum+tcp://dash.f2pool.com:5588

Username: walletAddress.workerName

Password: Your choice

Please note

workerName is optional, but we recommend labeling each of your mining devices with a separate workerName for more efficient monitoring.

4. Start mining!

Your machines are now ready to mine! You can manage your account settings and monitor your hashrate, revenue, and payouts in your dashboard or in our f2pool app.
