How to Mine C64 Chain (C64) on the MiningBoard Pool
Point any RandomWOW miner at stratum+tcp://stratum.miningboard.com:4446 with your C64 wallet address as the username. No account, no signup — the pool tracks your shares by wallet and pays out on-chain automatically. Fee is 0%.
Any modern x86-64 processor works, but large L3 cache wins: recent AMD Ryzen desktop chips are the reference hardware for RandomX-family mining. You'll also want at least 4 GB of free RAM and, ideally, dual-channel memory.
Mining software: XMRig is the standard open-source miner — select the RandomWOW variant with -a rx/wow. SRBMiner-Multi also supports RandomX-family algorithms on CPU.
Generate a C64 Chain wallet address using the project's official wallet — this is the address the pool pays out to, and on most pools it doubles as your login. Back up your keys or seed offline before mining to it.
stratum+tcp://stratum.miningboard.com:4446
Username = your C64 wallet address (append .rigname to label workers). Password = x.
xmrig --algo rx/wow -o stratum+tcp://stratum.miningboard.com:4446 -u <YOUR_WALLET>.rig1 -p x
SRBMiner-MULTI --algorithm randomwow --pool stratum.miningboard.com:4446 --wallet <YOUR_WALLET>.rig1
Within a minute of your first accepted share, paste your wallet address on the C64 Chain pool page to open your live miner dashboard — hashrate, workers, and pending balance, auto-refreshing. Open the C64 Chain pool page →
Rewards use PPLNS — your share of each block found, proportional to your recent work. Once your balance passes 10 C64, the pool sends it to your wallet automatically. The pool never holds your funds longer than the payout cycle.
C64 Chain mining FAQ
What algorithm does C64 Chain use?
C64 Chain uses RandomWOW, a variant of RandomX originally developed for Wownero. Like all RandomX-family algorithms it is optimized for general-purpose CPUs and resistant to GPU and ASIC acceleration.
Can I mine C64 Chain with a GPU?
Not effectively. RandomX-family algorithms are designed so that CPUs are the most efficient hardware; GPU implementations exist but waste most of the card's potential. Use a desktop CPU instead.
Which CPUs are best for RandomWOW mining?
CPUs with large L3 caches dominate — modern AMD Ryzen desktop processors are the community standard. More cache and more memory channels translate almost directly into hashrate.
What are huge pages and do I need them?
Huge pages are an operating-system memory feature that lets the miner use larger memory mappings, cutting overhead. Enabling them typically boosts RandomX-family hashrate by a double-digit percentage — XMRig prints whether they're active at startup.
Is mining C64 Chain profitable?
It depends on your electricity rate, your CPU's efficiency, and the coin's young, volatile market. The hardware risk is low since you're using a general-purpose CPU you likely already own — but always check live numbers before dedicating a machine.
