How to setup your Baikal Giant-B for Decred

Just received you Baikal Giant-B miner? Don’t stress we are here to help you set it up!

To get started, navigate to your dashboard by finding your miners’ IP address using your router or Baikal IP scanner. The page will look something like this:

You should see the option to mine with a number of different pools. We’re going to set it up with Luxor Mining Pool, the best mining pool — disclaimer: we’re slightly biased :)

Luxor Mining is a PPS pool with a 2% fee. We believe in Decred and that is why we plan to allocate a small portion of fees back to community initiatives. By signing up with Luxor Mining you will be directly supporting the success of Decred.

We have multiple nodes all over the world, delivering miners the fastest latency. Our minimum payout is 0.2 DCR, which we automatically pay out hourly.

Okay, that’s enough promoting for one day… lets continue setting up your Baikal Giant-B!

Pick one of the above Stratum nodes (ensure it is port 4444 the other ports are for claymore mining), and type in the pool setting as follows:

URL: dcr-us.luxor.tech:4444 (set to your nearest location)

Worker: LuxorUsername.workername (workername can be anything, but avoid using symbols or special characters as it may be an invalid username)

Password: 123

For the other nodes (Pool 2 and Pool 3), feel free to use any of the other region nodes, such as dcr-u.luxor.tech:4444.

Once you’ve started hashing, grab yourself a beer! It’ll take about 5 minutes for your worker to appear on our stats page. To find your user, simply go to mining.luxor.tech and type in your wallet address at the top of the searchbar. You should see something like this:

Happy Hashing!
