Mine Verium with your CPU

Verium is CPU-mineable on the computer you already own. Run the Verium Qt wallet as a full node and mine solo — block rewards go straight to your wallet.

Getting started

Solo mine with the Qt wallet

Verium ships as a full-node Qt wallet — the same Bitcoin Core-style flow: download, encrypt, sync, then mine on your own node. No pool account and no third party holding your rewards.

Solo mining

Your wallet runs veriumd locally. When your node finds a block, the reward is yours in full. Keep the wallet online, synced, and unlocked for mining. A public pool is available later if you want smoother payouts — see below.
Full Qt wallet setup guide
  1. 1

    Download the Verium Qt wallet

    Install the Verium Qt wallet for your platform (see downloads below or the wallets page). Launch it — the embedded veriumd node starts automatically and creates a receiving address on the Receive tab. Addresses start with “V”.
  2. 2

    Encrypt and sync the chain

    Use Settings → Encrypt Wallet to set a passphrase, then leave the wallet open until it catches up with the network. On a fresh install, File → Reload Blockchain or a bootstrap from files.vericonomy.com/vrm/bootstrap speeds this up. Solo mining needs a synced node.
  3. 3

    Start solo mining

    On the Overview screen, unlock your wallet and use the built-in mining control to start CPU mining with scrypt². Alternatively, run veriumMiner pointed at your local RPC (127.0.0.1:58683) — see the solo example below.
  4. 4

    Watch hashrate and rewards

    Hashrate and mining status appear on Overview. When your node finds a block, the full reward lands in your wallet after maturity. Tune thread count to match your CPU and ~128 MB RAM per thread.
Configure your miner

Solo and pool examples

Replace the address with your own. For solo mining, point at your veriumd RPC instead of stratum.

The Verium Qt wallet includes built-in solo mining. veriumMiner is optional if you prefer a standalone miner against local RPC.

Questions

Mining FAQ

Do I need special hardware to mine Verium?
No. Verium uses the scrypt² algorithm specifically to remain CPU-mineable and resistant to ASIC and GPU centralization. Any modern multi-core CPU can participate.
How much memory does mining use?
scrypt² is memory-hard. Plan for roughly 128 MB of RAM per mining thread, and leave headroom for your operating system.
Solo or pool mining?
Solo mining pays the full block reward to your wallet when you find a block, but variance is high — you may go long stretches without a hit. Pool mining smooths rewards by sharing work across many miners and paying proportionally. Either way works; a public pool at pool.vericonomy.com is ready if you want the simpler path.
When do I get paid?
Solo miners receive rewards directly when their node finds a block. Pool miners are paid automatically once their balance exceeds 1.0 VRM after block rewards mature (105 confirmations).

Ready to mine?

Grab the Verium Qt wallet, sync your node, and start solo CPU mining — or try the public pool if you prefer shared work.
