Aether Node Mining Infrastructure
01

Download AetherCoin Elite

The easiest way to mine is using the built-in miner in our desktop wallet. Download the Windows or Linux version from the home page. Be sure to verify the SHA-256 signatures before running the installer.

02

Configure your Wallet

Once installed, create a new wallet seed phrase and wait for the blockchain to synchronize. This ensures you are mining on the correct chain tip and blocks are validated against peers.

03

Launch the Miner

Navigate to the "Mining" tab. Select the number of CPU threads you wish to allocate. We recommend leaving one thread free for overall system stability.

04

Collect Rewards

Blocks you mine will appear in your transaction list. Note that mining rewards have a maturity period of 100 confirmations before they can be spent.

Advanced Mining (Coming Soon)

Official stratum-compatible mining pool software for high-hashrate GPU rigs is currently in development.
