How to Mine Ergo (ERG) on the MiningBoard Pool
Point any Autolykos v2 miner at stratum+tcp://stratum.miningboard.com:3052 with your ERG 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%.
Autolykos v2 works against a multi-gigabyte dataset that grows slowly over time. 4 GB cards still work today but are aging out; 6–8 GB+ is the safe choice. Both AMD and Nvidia mine Ergo well, and memory speed matters more than core clock.
Mining software: lolMiner covers both vendors; Team Red Miner is the AMD specialist; Rigel is a strong Nvidia option. All are command-line miners configured with a pool URL and your ERG address.
Install Nautilus (the standard browser-extension wallet), Satergo (desktop, can run a full node), or the official node wallet. Generate a receiving address and back up your seed phrase offline — mined ERG pays out to this address.

Username = your ERG wallet address (append .rigname to label workers). Password = x.
lolMiner --algo AUTOLYKOS2 --pool stratum.miningboard.com:3052 --user <YOUR_WALLET>.rig1
Within a minute of your first accepted share, paste your wallet address on the Ergo pool page to open your live miner dashboard — hashrate, workers, and pending balance, auto-refreshing. Open the Ergo pool page →
Rewards use PPLNS — your share of each block found, proportional to your recent work. Once your balance passes 0.5 ERG, the pool sends it to your wallet automatically. The pool never holds your funds longer than the payout cycle.
Ergo mining FAQ
What algorithm does Ergo use?
Ergo uses Autolykos v2, a memory-hard proof-of-work algorithm. Miners fetch repeatedly from a multi-gigabyte dataset, which resists ASICs and favors GPUs with fast, sufficient VRAM.
How much VRAM do I need to mine Ergo?
The Autolykos dataset grows slowly with block height. 4 GB cards can still participate but are near the cutoff; 6–8 GB or more is the comfortable choice for long-term mining.
Which GPUs are best for mining Ergo?
Cards with strong memory bandwidth per watt lead: recent AMD Radeon and Nvidia GeForce mid-to-high tiers all perform well once undervolted. Check the live-ranked table on this page for current per-card profit at your electricity rate.
Are there ASICs for Ergo?
No meaningful ones — Autolykos v2's memory-hardness makes fixed-function hardware uneconomical, which is by design. Ergo remains a GPU coin.
Is Ergo mining profitable?
Ergo consistently ranks among the better GPU coins on efficiency-adjusted profit, especially for undervolted cards at moderate electricity rates. Margins still swing with ERG's price and network difficulty — check the live numbers at your own power cost.
