Suprnova cc: registration, setup, reviews and how to withdraw funds

Anton Goloston 03/09/2018

Suprnova is one of the most profitable and popular mining pools.

Although it does not allow you to mine Bitcoin, this disadvantage is compensated by the huge selection of altcoins.

Mining pool Suprnova

Before we see how to mine coins on Suprnova, let's tell you a little about the pool itself.

Suprnova.cc is one of the most popular pools, since today you can mine 46 coins of different algorithms, from the most famous (ZCash, Bitcoin Gold, Ethereum, etc.) to the recently appeared.

The pool was first launched in 2015 and is still working stably. Initially, only one coin was added - Ether, but the pool is constantly expanding, making it possible to mine more and more new coins.

The Suprnova pool commission is 1%.

To make payments, the PPLNS payment system is used. In the PPLNS system, payments are based on the blocks found, and in this type of pools the payout may seem low. However, if you do not withdraw funds for a long time, then your rewards will be higher compared to PPS pools.

Another advantage of Suprnova is its support for a wide range of algorithms. For example, YiiMP software does not support Ethash, Equihash or CryptoNight algorithms. But it's all supported by Suprnova and you can see all the supported coins on the pool's home page.

Suprnova's interface is pretty decent and easy to understand. Each coin also has a getting started guide that you will need when starting Suprnova and other MPOS based pools for the first time.

Even though it is difficult for users who are new to mining to set up and use the pool, the guides explain step by step how to mine cryptocurrency on Suprnova. The guide walks you through how to create an account, set up a mining pool, and get started—the mining process itself.

What do they mine?

Of the top ten altcoins from the coinmarketcap list, the pool allows you to mine Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin, Dash.

The rest of the coins are:

How to mine cryptocurrency on a pool

To start mining cryptocurrency on any pool, you will first need:

1. Create a digital wallet for the coin you want to mine
2. The corresponding mining software is miners.

Once you have created a wallet for the desired coin and downloaded the miner, you need to find out whether the coin you want to mine has been added to the pool you have chosen. This can usually be found on the pool's main page.

Start on Suprnova's home page https://www.suprnova.cc, there you will find a list of all the coins and algorithms it currently supports.

Find the coin you want to mine. If the coin is on this list, then before entering the pool, find out whether there is a reasonable number of miners, and whether the total hashrate of the pool is sufficient to solve the blocks. If so, click on the “Start Mining” button - this will take you to pool toolbar.

Mobile clients

Mobile clients for the Suprnova pool exist only for Android OS.

Suprnova Pools Mining Monitor allows you to track mining statistics on the Suprnova.cc pool, monitor hashrates, walkers, balance, payouts and much more with graphs.

Suprnova Monitor does the same thing as the first program. It just has a different author.

Creating an account and workers

One of the reasons why most users do not choose Suprnova, Mining Pool Hub and other MPOS pools is that they require registration to start mining. While this may not seem like a good idea, this action offers several features. For example, notifications: you can receive email notifications when your miner goes offline or when you receive a new payout. This kind of feature is important, especially if you have a large number of miners pointing to this pool.

By registering, you receive a login and password that can be used to mine each coin presented on Suprnova.cc.

To mine different coins, you do not need to register again - to enter the section of each coin, the login and password created during the first registration is suitable.

To register on the website suprnova.cc , you need:

1. Click on the green “Start Mining” button opposite any of the coins.

1. Going to the section of the coin itself, we find the “Guest” section in the upper right corner.
2. Hover your mouse over this word and select “Sign Up”

1. Next you will see the following registration form. You need:
   • come up with a name for your farm (mining equipment);

   come up with a strong password consisting of lowercase and uppercase letters and numbers;

2. enter Email (It is better to create a special account for mining. International mail ending in .com is most suitable for these purposes, for example, Google mail);
3. come up with a pin code.

The PIN code consists of 4 digits. Be sure to remember it and write it down, as you will need it to withdraw funds from the pool.

1. Next, we enter the section of any coin: “Start Mining” - “Guest” - “Login”. Enter your email and password.
2. You have registered on Suprnova.cc.

So now that you have created an account, you need to set up a pool.

Servers

Mining on Suprnova is international in nature. Therefore, for the most popular cryptocurrencies, they offer servers in different parts of the world. For example, the following servers provide ether mining:

• USA: eth-us.suprnova.cc;
• Europe: eth-mine.suprnova.cc;
• Asia: eth-apac.suprnova.cc;
• Australia: eth-au.suprnova.cc.

The following servers have been created for the ZEC cryptocurrency:

• USA: stratum+tcp://zec-us.suprnova.cc:2142;
• Europe: stratum+tcp://zec-eu.suprnova.cc:2142;
• Asia: stratum+tcp://zec-apac.suprnova.cc:2142.

For Ethereum Classic:

• Europe: etc-eu.suprnova.cc:3000;
• USA: etc-us.suprnova.cc:3000.

There is only one server for Litecoin mining: stratum+tcp://ltc.suprnova.cc:7000. And two international servers have been created for DASH: stratum+tcp://dash80.suprnova.cc:80 and stratum+tcp://dash80.suprnova.cc:443

A complete list of servers for mining each cryptocurrency can be viewed on the official website of Suprnova pool.

Adding a new worker and setting it up

YiiMP pools are usually very easy to start mining on. All you need to do is enter your stratum port information along with your wallet address.

But with pools like Suprnova there is one extra step. Instead of using the wallet address directly, you will need to enter the worker details into the miner configuration. Workers are nothing more than a username for your farms. How to set up mining? Very simple.

After you have registered and entered the pool, you need to configure the pool to mine the selected coin. For this:

1. We go to the section of the selected coin by clicking “Start Mining” next to the coin on the main page. Go to the “My account” section.
2. Click “My workers” and fill out another registration form - the entered data will be needed to configure the miner.
3. Enter the name in the “Worker Name” column - this is the name of your rig.

Typically, workers are created for each rig or other mining equipment to make tracking and monitoring easier.

Do not use your username and password in the worker field. Instead, come up with a third-party name, such as Rig1, Rig2.

1. We come up with a password in the “Worker Password” column
2. Click “Add New Worker”.
3. In the window that appears on the right, check the “Monitor” box.

The pool setup is complete. Now we need to configure the miner for it.

Bitcoin gold pool

Since the network has not yet been launched, it is difficult to judge which bitcoin gold pool will be better. But after surfing the forums, searching, doing analysis and relying on our experience, we have so far found several decent pools. After the network is launched, this information on pools may change. And after the launch of the network, we identified the best pools for btg mining.

And so we will provide you with pools for mining bitcoin gold.

1. bitcoin-gold.miningpoolhub.com - In my opinion, it is still a top btg mining pool, there is no commission! Has 50% of the network power. Easy to set up.

2. btg.suprnova.cc - Good btg pool, good power, but more difficult to set up.

Where to mine bitcoin gold, I think it is bitcoin-gold.miningpoolhub.com. This will be an example.

Miner setup

A miner is a special program for mining cryptocurrencies. Our website presents the latest versions of miners for coins of different algorithms. for the selected coin in the corresponding section of our website.

We hope you have already downloaded the miner. After unzipping the folder with the miner, find the file ending with “.bat” - this is a bat file (or batch file). Right-click on it and select “edit”. A text document (notepad) will open. Paste the copied port of the selected coin there.

Each coin has its own port, you can view it as follows:

1. Go to the section of the desired coin;
2. Click “Home” in the left corner;
3. Under the pool logo there will be a line starting with “stratum” - this will be the coin’s port.

After you have inserted the port (for example, “stratum+tcp://lcc.suprnova.cc:6868”), we make further settings for the body file: enter User (which you wrote when you created the worker) and password (which you also wrote when creating creating a worker). We get the following:

“stratum+tcp://lcc.suprnova.cc:6868 – user HARDRIG.HARDRIG – pass 167943 –pec”

ccminer -a lyra2v2 -o stratum + tcp: //vtc.suprnova.cc: 5678 -u username.gtx1080ti -p x

Save the changes in notepad and close it. By clicking on the bat file with the left mouse button, we launch it. The mining process for the selected coin has started.

Wait! What about the wallet?

Selection of video cards for mining

The Decree cryptocurrency uses an algorithm called BLAKE256. You can get acquainted with the performance of certain video cards within the framework of this algorithm using the resource https://whattomine.com. Whattomine is used to calculate mining profitability. Thus, you can compare the profitability of all video cards available on the site and choose the most profitable one for the algorithm you are interested in. To do this, select a video card and the Blake algorithm (14r). The site will show the hashrate, electricity consumption and approximate expected profit in dollars. You can also combine different GPUs and see profit from using them simultaneously. It is possible to specify any number of video cards. This will help you select equipment for mining Decred coins.

Adding a wallet address, receiving payments and notifications

The mining process has started, but the pool control panel will not immediately display hashrate and worker information. This will take some time and at the same time will allow you to add a wallet to receive payments.

Go to My Account and click Change Account. Enter your wallet in the billing address field. Then enter the payout threshold - once the set amount is reached, you will receive a payment. Once done, enter your 4-digit PIN and update your account.

Note : You can change your wallet address and payout threshold information at any time by entering your PIN. On the same page, you will find a withdrawal option that you can use to withdraw coins to any address whenever you want to change it.

Enable notifications . One of the best features available in Suprnova is notifications. Go to My Account >> Notifications, check all features and click Update. From now on, whenever your worker goes offline and whenever you receive payments or when a new block is created, you will receive an email notification to your registered email address.

Now that all the steps are completed, log into the pools dashboard. It will display:

Calculated depending on your hashrate on the pool and its payment system (pps,pplns,fpplns)

Pps - pay-per-share - payment per share - the larger the share you have, the higher the payment.

Pplns - payment for the last n shares - only the last n shares are taken into account

Fpplns and fpps - similar to the previous two, but the pool also pays commissions for transactions in the found block.

1. My Balance:
   Confirmed – this is the confirmed balance – the one that you can withdraw
2. Unconfirmed is an unconfirmed balance. To withdraw it, you need to wait until it goes to the “Confirmed” section
3. Round earnings est is the expected payout in the current round (until a block is found, the round continues), that is, how many coins you will receive for solving the current block.
4. Your hashrate on the pool is displayed (graphs “My Hashrate”)
5. Efficiency (“My Efficiency”)
6. Pool information: total pool hashrate (Pool Hashrate), number of workers on the pool (Pool Workers), block reward (Price), mining difficulty (Difficulty)

A little life hack! The pool very often slows down when displaying statistics. Let’s say you know that yesterday you mined 10,000 Ravencoin (RVN) coins, but when you go to the pool a couple of hours later (after you stopped mining this coin (or any other) on it), you may find that your balance is 0!

After several page refreshes, the balance will soon appear. Yes, this is definitely a pool bug.

However, you can always very quickly see the number of coins you have mined, without refreshing the page.

To do this, simply go to the “My Account” tab.

Additional tabs will open. Click on the “Edit Account” button.

The page will refresh immediately. Scroll through it below. At the bottom of this page you will see the number of coins available to you in the “CASH OUT” section.

How to withdraw funds from Suprnova

The pool offers two withdrawal options: automatically and manually. For automatic transfer, you need to set a withdrawal threshold. Each transaction will incur a fee of 0.0001 BCC (for Bitcoin Cash). Other coins will have different values. They are listed next to the “Automatic Payout Treshold” item. The higher you set the threshold, the longer the coins will be stored in the pool, and the less often you will pay network fees.

The window for manual withdrawal of funds is below. Here you indicate how much you want to withdraw and the recipient's address. To confirm, enter the PIN you provided during registration.

Withdrawal of funds

In order to withdraw mined funds from Supernova (Ether, Zero, Zec and any other coin), you need to go to the section of the coin you need, as we described earlier, and click opposite it on “Start mining”. Next, log in to your account.

Then you need to click on the “My Account” button on the left side of the page.

Additional tabs will open. Click on the “Edit Account” button.

The page will refresh immediately. Scroll through it below. There you will see the following information:

Username – Your login

User Id – Your personal ID

E-Mail – Your Email

Time zone – time zone (Specify yours)

Payment Address – enter here the address of the coin you are going to withdraw. For example, if this is Ether, then register on the exchange and receive an Ether wallet on it, indicate it in this cell to transfer mined Ether coins to this address.

Donation Percentage Donation amount in percent – ​​the amount you are willing to donate (Donate) for the pool (optional)

Automatic Payout Threshold - automatic payments: You can specify the desired amount that the pool will automatically send to your wallet

Attention , if you are withdrawing coins for the first time, the field for entering a digital wallet will be empty. After you insert your digital wallet there, you will need to update the information so that the pool knows where to send your coins. To do this, below, after entering the data in the column “4 Digit PIN The 4 digit PIN you chose when registering”, enter the PIN code and click “Update Account”, thereby applying the entered data.

Note that this system works in the same case if you want to change the digital wallet address (for example, send coins to another exchange or even to a cold wallet). To do this, enter a new digital wallet and confirm it with a PIN code.

To withdraw funds, scroll down the same page to the “CASH OUT” section.

We check again whether the digital wallet is the right one, and enter the PIN code below, after which we click on the “Cash Out” button

The system will automatically notify you that the coins were successfully withdrawn. After refreshing the page, you will see that your balance is 0.

Advantages and disadvantages

Dual mining has its pros and cons, which are worth considering when choosing this method of cryptocurrency mining:

Advantages:

1. With the right choice of cryptocurrency, the equipment is used without loss of useful power. This is not difficult, because virtual money has similar mining principles. All the miner has to do is adjust the algorithm of the already used mechanism.
2. There is no need to “reinvent” the wheel when mining two cryptocurrencies. To work, the Claymore program is used, which successfully works on operating systems such as Linux and Windows.
3. With dual mining, the Ethereum mining rate remains high. This is due to the fact that the mining speed is identical for all virtual coins. If the power reaches 60 MH/s, it is relevant for both Ether and the second currency in the pair - Siacoin or Decree.
4. The program discussed above works on various algorithms, which contributes to maximum equipment load and its operation with high efficiency. If, when mining Ethereum, the GPU memory is poorly loaded, the second cryptocurrency compensates for this deficiency. From the above, the conclusion suggests itself that dual mining guarantees the operation of the equipment almost 100%, which increases profitability.

Flaws:

1. For dual mining to produce results, it is important to configure the program correctly. It is enough to make one mistake to reduce the level of profit received.
2. When mining two currencies at the same time, the equipment heats up more and the fans work at maximum capacity. As a result, the service life of video cards is reduced. If the GPU is under warranty, this is not a problem.
3. Increased noise. Due to the heavy load of equipment, it is quite difficult to stay near the farm. In addition, the equipment generates increased heat, so it is worth considering cooling the room.

As for the benefits, a lot depends on the correct setup of the equipment. If you approach this wisely, one farm gives 60-70 dollars (in addition to the standard income when mining one cryptocurrency).

It is worth noting that the dual mining mode leads to an increase in electricity consumption by 20-25%. But even in this case, the dual mining method is more profitable.

When calculating income, pay attention to the interest that the miner gives (commission to the pool). In the case of Ethereum, you will have to part with 1% of your earnings. If you work with two cryptocurrencies (ETH and DCR), the costs will be twice as high - 2%.

How to unblock an account?

Sometimes your account is blocked if you enter your password or PIN code incorrectly several times in a row.

To unblock your account, you need to go to: https://rvn.suprnova.cc/unlock and enter your email address that you used during registration. In the response letter you will receive a link by clicking on which you can unlock your account.

In the example given, the link is for the Ravencoin (rvn) coin.

If you are mining another coin, then at the beginning of the link instead of https://rvn.suprnova.cc/unlock you need to indicate the token of the mined coin, for example: https://zec.suprnova.cc/unlock or simply add /unlock to the end of the link.

An example for Decred is https://dcr.suprnova.cc/unlock.

Currency combination options

Note that when choosing the Equinash algorithm, mining of two cryptocurrencies becomes unavailable. In the case of Etash, the mentioned method of earning money is available through the Claymore program. Pascal, Siacoin or Decree can be used as the second coin. To make a choice, go to the official website of each cryptocurrency and study their features.

Take into account not only the profitability calculators, but also the future prospects of each coin. Practice shows that the best solution is mining Ethereum and Decred cryptocurrencies.

Alternatively, you should use Siacoin as a second currency. You can exchange additional electronic currency, if you do not want to invest in it, at.

Is this pool worth using?

There are a large number of mining pools. Some of them are dedicated to a single currency or a specific algorithm, and some of them support the development of multiple cryptocurrencies.

If you are looking for a multi-level cryptocurrency mining pool, then F2pool, Slush Pool, Multipool and Minergate are suitable for you. These are basically ASIC pools that only support the most popular currencies and are not suitable for regular miners.

However, if you are looking for a pool that supports most GPU Proof of Work algorithms that can be used for altcoin mining, then the best choices are Suprnova, Mining Pool Hub and YiiMP pools.

Suprnova and Mining Pool Hub are powered by MPOS (Mining Portal Open Source), and all other YiiMP pools use YiiMP (Yii Mining Pool Software).

On the other hand, there are also many other mining pools that use NOMP (Node Open Mining Portal), CKPool and CoiniumServ. These are all open source software that can be used to create a pool. Here we won't talk about how all this software works or how to set up a mining pool. Instead, we will explain how to mine cryptocurrency on Suprnova; which applies to MiningPoolHub and all other open source pools from MPOS.

What is a pool and why is it needed?

Most of the cryptocurrencies that can be mined work on the Proof of Stake principle.

According to it, miners mine blocks that contain information about transactions and confirm transfers. For this they receive a reward from the system in the form of cryptocurrency.

Only the first miner to mine a block receives this “prize” . Accordingly, miners compete and buy expensive equipment.

This situation greatly increases the “entry point” for crypto enthusiasts, because they have to spend a lot on equipment.

Mining in a pool helps to significantly reduce the cost of “mining” coins . Essentially, a pool is a union of miners into one team, whose task is to mine a block and receive cryptocurrency. In this case, the reward is distributed among all participants in the pool. Thus, anyone can start mining and make money from it.

Conclusion

As we have already said, this pool uses the PPLNS payment system (you can find out what it is in this article). So, your payout may seem low initially, but it will be evenly distributed in the long run. To estimate your income and profit from mining, you can use a calculator tool such as What To Mine.

Supernova has some useful tools and features compared to other YiiMP pools, and at the same time, Supernova is quite a flexible pool. All pool support issues are handled through Twitter and sometimes you are asked to pay 0% commission on some coins.

Overall this is a pretty decent mining pool for altcoins. The Supernova pool uses a large number of miners, so it must be reliable.

We hope this guide is informative. If you are having trouble mining cryptocurrency on Suprnova or if you have any questions regarding mining, please leave a comment below.

Reviews

There are very few good reviews about the pool. There are those that describe technical problems and their solutions on this pool.

According to forum members, coins are awarded crookedly in the pool, it is clear in whose favor. Although there was one message that a person disconnected from the pool for a week, but everything is credited to him, but he withdraws it. But there was only one. Others complain that technical support does not respond, money is not withdrawn, less is credited, the readings between the account and the miner differ not by 1% of the commission, but much more. Many people advise leaving the pool.

Visit the pool

Navigation

It’s not difficult to navigate the Suprnova pool website. On the main page, the visitor immediately sees a list of available cryptocurrencies for mining with the mining algorithm, the number of active workers, the pool hashrate and the network hashrate. Here you need to select your cryptocurrency and click Start Mining (the resource is only available in English).

After this, you will be redirected to a page where you will need to register. Also here you can view pool statistics, contact the administration or support service, view the conditions, FAQ and read about how to set up Suprnova and carry out mining.

Which pool to choose?

When working with dual mining, use pools that run on Stratum. The most attractive options include:

1. Nanopool
   is a well-known pool that supports Stratum and has a speed of 223.7 Gigahash per second. The reward commission is 1%, the payout amount is 0.1 ETH.
2. Eth.suprnova
   is another reliable pool that allows you to work with two currencies at once. The commission size is 1%, and the speed is 71.5 Gigahash per second. Payment is made if there is 0.01 ETH on the account. The server is located in France.
3. Coinotron
   is a pool with a server in Poland. The working conditions are almost no different from Eth.suprnova. There is also a commission of 1%, but the payment is made when 0.1 Ethereum is accumulated. The power is 177.3 Gigahash per second.
