Mining Setup Methods

Choose your preferred mining workflow based on hardware and experience level.

01

Download Desktop Wallet

Download the official AetherCoin Elite Windows installer. Verify the SHA-256 checksum before running.

Download Windows Wallet
02

Create & Sync Seed

Launch the application, record your 24-word seed phrase safely offline, and allow the wallet to sync block headers with peers.

03

Set Thread Count

Navigate to the "Mining" tab. Adjust the CPU thread slider. We recommend reserving 1 thread for OS background tasks.

04

Start Solo Mining

Click "Start Mining". Found blocks automatically credit your wallet address after 100 confirmation cycles.

Running Headless AetherCoin Mining Node

Command-line setup for Ubuntu, Linux servers, and headless VPS environments.

aethercoind -daemon -server -rpcuser=aecuser -rpcpassword=aecpass123 -listen=1
aethercoin-cli setgenerate true 4
aethercoin-cli getmininginfo

Stratum Pool Mining Command Generator

Generate launch parameters for XMRig, CGMiner, or CPUminer-opt targeting official AetherCoin stratum endpoints.

Protocol Security Architecture

Engineered for maximum decentralization, fair reward distribution, and sybil resistance.

ASIC-Resistant Design

Employs memory-hard hashing functions that prioritize consumer CPU L3 cache structures, preserving hardware equality and preventing industrial ASIC monopolization.

Dark Gravity Wave

Continuous difficulty adjustment algorithm retargets target difficulty on every block, insulating the network against sudden hashrate surges or drop-offs.

100-Block Maturity Lock

Coinbase rewards require 100 network block confirmations (~100 mins) before funds unlock, eliminating transaction rollbacks in case of temporary chain re-orgs.

P2P Sybil Defense

Full nodes independently validate every block header and coin transaction against protocol consensus rules before propagating messages across peers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about mining AetherCoin safely and efficiently.

How long before mined AEC coins become spendable?
Newly mined coins originate from Coinbase transactions. To safeguard network stability, block rewards require 100 block confirmations (approximately 100 minutes) to mature before becoming spendable or transferrable.
Can I safely mine AetherCoin on everyday laptops?
Yes! However, to prevent CPU thermal throttling on laptop processors, we recommend setting thread allocation to 50% capacity (e.g. 2 threads on a 4-core CPU) and ensuring adequate airflow.
Is there any pre-mine, founder cut, or developer tax?
Zero pre-mine! AetherCoin is a 100% fair launch blockchain. 100% of every 50 AEC block reward goes directly to the block finder's wallet address without any dev tax or hidden allocations.
How do I verify the integrity of official mining software?
Download binaries exclusively from official AetherCoin portals. Verify binary hashes on Windows PowerShell using Get-FileHash aethercoin-core.exe -Algorithm SHA256 and check against our published release checksums.
What happens if two miners find a block simultaneously?
The P2P network selects the longest valid chain branch with the highest cumulative proof-of-work. Mined rewards on orphaned blocks are discarded, which is why coinbase maturity requires 100 block confirmations.
