Mining Software

Understanding the software necessary to mine or find solutions on the Qubic network (and hence earn $QUBIC) is as important as understanding the hardware requirements. The software controls your hardware, facilitates communication with the Qubic network, and helps you manage your mining activity.

Available Mining Software​

Presently, there are a couple of software options available for mining on the Qubic network.

Qubic-li Miner​

Qubic.li offers a client that can be used to mine $QUBIC. This software is user-friendly, making it a good choice for those new to mining. It provides essential features like managing your mining activity, monitoring performance, and connecting with the Qubic network.

Alienminer Custom Software​

The Alienminer custom software is another option available to Qubic miners. This software has been developed with a focus on performance, and it may offer certain features and optimisations not found in the Qubic.li client.

Both of these software options are actively maintained and updated to ensure the best mining performance and compatibility with the Qubic network.

Community Support​

For help with setting up your mining software or to stay updated on the latest developments in Qubic, join the Qubic Discord. Discord is a communication platform where users discuss and collaborate on various topics, including Qubic and mining. There are different pools that maintain the artificial neural networks, which helps train the Qubic AI - each with its own pros and cons. If you're unsure which pool is best for you, or if you have specific questions or need assistance, don't hesitate to reach out to the community of developers and miners on the Qubic Discord.

Getting Started with Mining Software​

To get started with mining software, you'll first need to download and install the software that suits your needs best. Once installed, you'll configure the software to work with your hardware and connect with the Qubic network. The specific steps for setup and configuration can vary between software, so refer to the documentation provided with your chosen mining software for precise instructions.
