Questions about mining would be best answered in our Discord server's mining channel or in a mining guide at a mining pool. Please read or search the posts using the search function and especially check the pinned messages before asking the question in case it has already been asked, and answered.

A pinned post in July 2021 says to change veil.woolypooly.com:3098 to pool.woolypooly.com:3098


A pinned post (by Alex from Wooly Pooly pool) at the start of November 2020 advises other pool operators who want to add Veil to their pool to ask their questions in the Veil-Dev Discord server rather than in this mining channel, which is for miners, not really for the pool operators.


The DAG size for Veil ProgPoW is greater than 4GB, so please use GPUs with 6GB or more of RAM.


ProgPoW mining software links are:

NVIDIA
T-Rex https://github.com/trexminer/T-Rex/releases/
TT-Miner https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5025783.0

AMD
WildRig https://github.com/andru-kun/wildrig-multi/releases/
The known mining pools are: 
Other mining pools that existed when Veil used the X16Rt algorithm are (or were):
BSOD - (no ProgPoW — checked 2021-09-01) https://bsod.pw/
Coinblockers - (no ProgPoW — checked 2021-09-01) https://veil.coinblockers.com/
1stMiningPool - (inaccessible — checked 2021-09-01) https://m.1stminingpool.com/
Coinmine - (no ProgPoW — checked 2021-09-01) https://www2.coinmine.pl/
Gos.cx - (no ProgPoW — checked 2021-09-01) https://gos.cx/
Zergpool - (no ProgPoW — checked 2021-09-01) https://zergpool.com/

At the time of writing (2021-09-01) there is no pool or software that has solved mining for Veil's SHA256D, or RandomX*, which are currently available only by mining within the Veil wallet. See: https://veil.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/43000467220-mining-guide

Stratum proxy for solo mining

TT-miner can already mine solo to your local full node. This Veil node stratum proxy enables mining solo with other software such as T-Rex. https://github.com/us77ipis/veil-node-stratum-proxy


Update regarding RandomX mining external to the standard Veil wallet

In June 2022 an xmrig-veil fork of xmrig made it possible to mine Veil with RandomX outside of the core Veil wallet, more effectively than with only the Veil wallet itself. 


Proposal for reduction of the DAG size in Veil ProgPow mining

In July 2022 there is a pull-request, a proposal to reduce the DAG size as it is currently well on it's way to making it not possible to mine with highly available GPUs that have no more than 6 GB of RAM. Provided that this change is committed it will provide an opportunity to gain a mining community of former Ethereum miners.


WildRig are already okay with this. T-Rex and TT-miner are yet to confirm the possibility of a new version to handle the smaller DAG size. Those interested in this, please enquire with T-Rex and TT-miner.
