1. Preparing Mining Equipment and Environment

Currently, ALEO only supports mining with ASIC devices

2. Registering a WhalePool Account

ALEO mining requires logging in with an account name, so you need to register to obtain one.

Visit the official WhalePool website and follow the instructions to complete registration. After logging into your account, go to the "Mining Account" section and copy your account name to configure mining parameters.

Once mining begins, mining earnings will be automatically accumulated in your mining account. After binding a wallet, you can receive payouts.

2. Set mining parameters

Enter the miner's IP address in your browser's address bar to access the miner's backend, or use the official batch management software provided by the miner to configure the following settings:

WhalePool / URL: stratum+tcp://aleo.asia1.whalepool.com:42343

User / Worker:Account name. Miner number ( This should be the WhalePool account name you set during registration, not your wallet address or email. The account name and worker name are separated by a period " . ". The worker name must be between 6-15 characters, using lowercase letters or numbers, and must start with a letter.)

Password:Set any password,(e.g., 123)

After verifying that the information is correct, save the settings. Within a short time, the miner will begin operation, and you can start earning rewards.
