Mining Firo
Mine Firo using FiroPoW, a modified version of ProgPoW 0.9.4 designed specifically for GPU mining. It includes a random sequence that changes every block to add further ASIC and FPGA resistance. Requires minimum 8GB VRAM to keep mining accessible while preventing older hardware from cluttering the network.
GPU
NVIDIA or AMD with 8GB+ VRAM
Storage
50GB+ free space
Power
Stable electricity supply
Getting Started
Check Hardware Requirements
Ensure your GPU meets the minimum requirements. FiroPoW is designed for GPUs with at least 4GB of VRAM. Modern NVIDIA and AMD cards work well.
Download Mining Software
Choose a mining software compatible with FiroPoW algorithm. Popular options include BlackMiner, SRBMiner-Multi, GMiner, Red Miner, or the open-source reference miner Firominer.
Join a Mining Pool
Select a mining pool from our recommended list. Pools combine hash power to find blocks more consistently and distribute rewards.
Configure Your Miner
Set up your mining software with your wallet address and pool details. Each pool provides specific configuration instructions.
Start Mining
Launch your mining software and monitor your hash rate. You should start seeing shares submitted to the pool within minutes.
Optimize Performance
Fine-tune your GPU settings for better efficiency. Adjust power limits, core clocks, and memory speeds to optimize hash rate per watt.
Mining Software
Choose from various mining software options. Most pools don't require registration—only a valid Firo address and worker details.
