How to Mine Groestlcoin (GRS) on the MiningBoard Pool
Point any Groestl miner at stratum+tcp://stratum.miningboard.com:3032 with your GRS 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 reasonably modern AMD or Nvidia GPU can mine Groestl — there is no large memory file to hold, so VRAM is not a constraint. Because the algorithm is so power-light, efficiency-focused mid-range cards do very well.
Mining software: WildRig Multi covers AMD cards; ccminer (the -djm34 or alexis builds) covers Nvidia. Both are free, command-line miners where you set the pool URL and your GRS address.
Download Groestlcoin Core (full node) or Electrum-GRS (light wallet) from the official site — the project also maintains mobile and hardware-wallet support. Generate a receiving address and back up your seed phrase offline.

Username = your GRS wallet address (append .rigname to label workers). Password = x.
cpuminer -a groestl -o stratum+tcp://stratum.miningboard.com:3032 -u <YOUR_WALLET>.rig1 -p x
sgminer -k groestlcoin -o stratum+tcp://stratum.miningboard.com:3032 -u <YOUR_WALLET>.rig1 -p x
Within a minute of your first accepted share, paste your wallet address on the Groestlcoin pool page to open your live miner dashboard — hashrate, workers, and pending balance, auto-refreshing. Open the Groestlcoin pool page →
Rewards use PPLNS — your share of each block found, proportional to your recent work. Once your balance passes 5 GRS, the pool sends it to your wallet automatically. The pool never holds your funds longer than the payout cycle.
Groestlcoin mining FAQ
What algorithm does Groestlcoin use?
Groestlcoin uses the Groestl algorithm, based on Grøstl-512 — a finalist in NIST's SHA-3 competition. It is one of the most power-efficient proof-of-work algorithms a GPU can mine.
Why does Groestl mining use so little power?
The Grøstl hash is computationally lightweight compared to memory-hard or multi-hash algorithms, so GPUs complete the work without saturating their power budget. Cards typically draw far below their gaming wattage and run cool.
Can I mine Groestlcoin with an ASIC?
Multi-algorithm ASICs and FPGAs that include Groestl support have existed historically, but GPU mining remains practical and is how most individual GRS miners participate. Check current network difficulty against your hardware before investing.
What wallets support Groestlcoin?
The project maintains an unusually wide wallet lineup: Groestlcoin Core, Electrum-GRS, mobile wallets for Android/iOS, and hardware wallet support including Trezor and Ledger.
Is Groestlcoin mining profitable?
Gross revenue per card is modest because GRS is a small-cap coin, but the power bill is also unusually small. At low electricity rates the efficiency math can work — always check live numbers at your own rate first.
