Mining Clients

DankMiner GPU RECOMMENDED FOR CAP

CapStash (Whirlpool-XORfold) · GPU mining · Windows / Linux / HiveOS

The recommended client for CapStash mining. Open-source, supports CUDA & OpenCL.

⬇DankMiner — Latest Releasegithub ↗ 📂Source codegithub ↗

Quick start (CapStash PPLNS):

dankminer -a capstash -o stratum+tcp://papaspool.net:7777 -u YOUR_CAP_ADDRESS.rig1 -p xCOPY

SOLO (block reward via split coinbase):

dankminer -a capstash -o stratum+tcp://papaspool.net:7771 -u YOUR_CAP_ADDRESS.rig1 -p xCOPY

cgminer / cpuminer-opt CLI

SHA-256d (BCH / BC2 / BCH2) · CLI miner for ASIC, FPGA, or CPU testing

Standard ckpool-compatible miner for any SHA-256d coin.

⬇cpuminer-optgithub ↗ ⬇cgminergithub ↗

BCH PPLNS example:

cgminer -o stratum+tcp://papaspool.net:9777 -u YOUR_BCH_ADDRESS.rig1 -p xCOPY

Bitaxe / NerdMiner SOLO HARDWARE

Low-power SHA-256d ASIC for solo learning + lottery mining

Use the low-diff ports — they accept much smaller share difficulties:

BCH PPLNS: stratum+tcp://papaspool.net:9778
BCH SOLO: stratum+tcp://papaspool.net:9772
BC2 PPLNS: stratum+tcp://papaspool.net:8778
BC2 SOLO: stratum+tcp://papaspool.net:8772
BCH2 PPLNS: stratum+tcp://papaspool.net:10778
BCH2 SOLO: stratum+tcp://papaspool.net:10772

In the device's web UI: enter the URL above as Pool URL, leave protocol as stratum, set User to your wallet address (e.g. YOUR_ADDR.bitaxe1), Password x.

Antminer / Whatsminer / Avalon INDUSTRIAL ASIC

SHA-256d ASIC fleet

Use the regular ASIC ports (no -low suffix). Configure in the miner's web pool settings:

URL: stratum+tcp://papaspool.net:9777 (BCH) / :8777 (BC2) / :10777 (BCH2)
Worker: YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS.rig1
Password: x

VarDiff start 100000 · range 10000 → unlimited. Designed for 10+ TH/s. For sub-1 TH/s gear use the low-diff ports above.

Coin Daemons (run your own node)

Bitcoin II Core BC2

Required if you want to verify pool blocks independently or run your own solo backing.

⬇BitcoinII-Core releasesgithub ↗

Address format: legacy 1… only. bc1/bech32 NOT supported — payments will fail.

Bitcoin Cash Node BCH

Standard BCH full node.

🔗bitcoincashnode.org↗

Address format: legacy 1… or CashAddr bitcoincash:q… — both accepted.

Bitcoin Cash II Core BCH2

⬇bitcoincashII-core releasesgithub ↗

Address format: legacy 1… or CashAddr bitcoincashii:q….

CapStash Core CAP

Required if you want to receive CapStash payouts to a self-hosted wallet.

⬇CapStash-Core releasesgithub ↗

Address format: native CapStash address (starts with C or cap1q…).

First-Time Setup

Pick your coin, download the matching client + daemon, generate a receiving address in your wallet, then point the miner at the matching stratum port from the Connect page.

No registration needed. Your wallet address IS your username. Multiple workers from the same address use YOUR_ADDR.rigname.
