Quick Start

1. Get a payout address

Use an Animica wallet address that matches the active network shown on this page.

2. Download your starter bundle

Bundles include animica-miner (.exe on Windows) when available, plus launchers and config files.

3. Run the included launcher

Browsers cannot open local terminals directly. The downloaded launcher does that on your machine after you unpack and run it.

4. Confirm PPS vs SOLO mode

PPS credits accepted shares. SOLO credits only accepted full blocks to the miner who found them.

5. Track pool health

Current height: 0
Pool hashrate: 0 H/s
Latest found block: Unavailable

Worker naming

Worker names are labels only. Keep them short and unique for each machine.

Downloads

Miner bundles per platform

Each bundle contains a launcher, config template, README, and a standalone miner executable when available for that platform.

Download metadata is hosted as static files on this website, with live pool metadata used as a fallback when needed.

How It Works

Step 1. Get an Animica payout address

Use a wallet that matches the active network. Testnet and devnet addresses should not be reused on mainnet.

Step 2. Download the miner for your computer

The bundle includes the miner, a launcher, and a config template already pointed at the detected Animica Stratum host.

Step 3. Run the included launcher

Windows opens Command Prompt, macOS opens Terminal through the .command file, and Linux uses the included shell script. Launchers prefer the standalone animica-miner binary and fall back to Python only when needed.

Step 4. Your miner connects automatically

Use the live pool endpoint, the reference config snippet, or the downloaded bundle to start streaming jobs from the Animica pool.

Step 5. Track rewards and status

Keep an eye on the live pool status above and your miner terminal output for accepted shares, difficulty updates, and blocks.

Troubleshooting

Pool says offline

Confirm the pool service is running and that the mining webpage is reverse-proxying /api/mining/* to the Stratum API.

Host resolves to localhost

Set ANIMICA_PUBLIC_STRATUM_HOST or ANIMICA_PUBLIC_STRATUM_URL so remote miners get a public endpoint.

Launcher cannot find Python

Install Python 3.10 or newer, reopen your terminal, and rerun the launcher. The bundle is dependency-free and only needs Python.

Wrong network or payout address

The portal warns when you are on testnet or devnet. Use an address that belongs to that network to avoid operator-side payout issues.

FAQ

Can the browser launch my terminal directly?

No. Browsers cannot start arbitrary local terminals. That is why the portal ships platform launchers inside the downloaded bundle instead.

What if I want to use another miner?

Use the generated stratum+tcp://loading:0 endpoint and the manual commands above as your reference for host, port, worker, and payout address.

Does the bundle include checksums?

The portal shows SHA-256 hashes from the website-hosted manifest so you can verify the bundle you downloaded for your platform.

What if I deploy behind nginx?

Keep the website and /api/mining/* on the same public domain when possible. If you split them, set ANIMICA_MINING_API_BASE_URL on the website and ANIMICA_PUBLIC_STRATUM_HOST on the pool service.
