Below is a step-by-step guide on how to start mining cryptocurrencies and how to earn cryptocurrency rewards at OKEx Pool.

Step 1: Log in to your OKEx account

Go to the OKEx homepage and click Login at the top right corner to input your login details.

Create an Okex Account here

Step 2: Go to OKEx Pool

Navigate to More from the top menu on the OKEx homepage. Click on Pool under “Products” to go to the homepage for OKEx Pool.

Step 3: Set up your alias

On the homepage of OKEx Pools, click on Enter to set up your miner’s alias. 

The alias should be a combination of 4-20 digits and/or letters. We use “patelokex123” as an example.

Step 4: Manage your mining dashboard

After choosing your alias, you will be directed to the mining dashboard. 

In the dashboard, you can check your mining data and yield record — as well as manage your mining account.

Step 5: Confirm your mining settings

In the mining dashboard, go to “Mining” in the left bar and click on PoW, which is short for “proof-of-work.” Select Mining Settings to confirm your yield settings and fund arrival reminders.

Under “Yield Settings,” you can select your preferred SHA256 and Ethash payment tokens.

Step 6: Choose a cryptocurrency to mine

Go back to the homepage of OKEx Pool, accessible under “More” in the top menu. From here, you can look at all of the mining algorithms and mining tokens available at OKEx.

Click on the row of your preferred token to see more details. The dropdown displays the following information for each mining token: 

• Hash rate chart
• Estimated daily yield
• Mining fees
• Settlement method and time
• Initial payment
• Mining addresses

You can choose the cryptocurrency to mine based on the above information.

Step 7: Connect your mining machine to OKEx Pool

We will use BTC mining as an example. 

The mining of BTC requires ASIC mining machines. In this case, we use Antminer mining machines in order to connect to OKEx Pool.

First, you need to log in to your Antminer machine via Antminer’s website. After logging in, go to General Settings under “Miner Configuration.” 

Under “Mining General Configuration, input the details in the “URL” and “Worker” fields. URL refers to the mining address of the cryptocurrency chosen by you. Worker refers to the worker’s name, which consists of the alias of the mining pool and the ID of the miner. You can ignore the “Password” field.

When everything is ready, click on Save & Apply.

Congratulations! Your mining machine is connected to OKEx Pool. 

You can now earn crypto by mining at OKEx Pool!

OKEx Pool staking

Staking is a popular way to earn passive income in the cryptocurrency space. By staking your cryptocurrencies, users may participate in block validation — similar to what miners do for Bitcoin — on a proof-of-stake blockchain and earn a set percentage as a reward.

• Dai (DAI)
• V.systems (VSYS)
