eCash is the Bitcoin ABC continuation of Bitcoin Cash, with Avalanche for near-instant finality. It is SHA-256 proof of work, so any Bitcoin ASIC can mine it without firmware changes.
Every XEC block must pay the network's miner fund and a staking reward before the miner's share, and must meet a real-time difficulty target. The pool builds all of that correctly for you.
x = pool (PPLNS), m=solo = solo (you keep the whole block). Or use the dedicated solo port.Minimum payout: 100 XEC.
stratum+tcp://bcmonster.com:2222 (Standard), 2223 (Pro / rentals), 2226 (Elite), or 9992 for ESP32 lottery miners. Username is your XEC address, password x for pool or m=solo for solo.
Yes. Set the password to m=solo, or use the solo ports (2224 Standard, 2225 Pro, 2227 Elite). If you find a block you keep the whole reward minus the 1.5% fee.
Yes. eCash uses SHA-256, so any Bitcoin ASIC works. Use port 2222 (Standard), 2223 (Pro) or 2226 (Elite) with an ecash: address.
