Created:2022-12-14    Updated:2023-12-18

What is Aleo?

Aleo is a project that uses zero-knowledge cryptography to create a truly private and personal user experience on the web, currently in the Testnet phase.

Mining device

Download firmware: Github

Current Aleo mining software only supports NVIDIA GPUs on Ubuntu system.

We recommend using pm2 running this software, which relaunch after crashes.

Preparation Before Mining

Aleo mining at DxPool requires a DxPool account, to acquire one: Sign Up with Email - DxPool.

Check the miner, network, and electricity condition.

Configure Your Mining Device

Your miner must be connected to the DxPool server listed below for your hashrate and revenue to be recorded and monitored.

You’ll need to enter the following information in your mining software:

./dxa0 -h aleo.ss.dxpool.com -p 9090 -u account.worker

The bolded part is your account name and miner's name, separated by ".", miner's name can be filled in as you like, to distinguish your machine。

If running with pm2:

pm2 start -n ap ./dxa0 -- -h aleo.ss.dxpool.com -p 9090 -u account.worker

Similarly, the bolded part is your account name and miner's name, separated by ".", the miner's name can be filled in as many times as you like, to distinguish your machine.

To view log

pm2 logs ap

Stop mining

Your machines are now ready to mine!

As long as you’re submitting your hashrate successfully, you will receive payouts from DxPool.

Withdrawing Payouts

Auto withdrawal: System will automatically withdraw your payouts on UTC+8 10:00 everyday.

Clarification

In order to receive incentive rewards from the test network, a KYC process is required after starting the mainnet. If DxPool does not pass the KYC of the Aleo project team, we will not be eligible to receive incentives from the network and therefore will not be able to issue incentives to you. Also, our service will be similarly restricted to countries and regions officially restricted by Aleo, for more information please check here.
