Multimining is a concept that first appeared when Proof of Stake was the new fad. Miners who enjoyed years of Proof of work were left out and only investors reaped the benefits of a PoS coin. Eventually pools got smart and invented the concept of a Multi-Pool. It is such a pool we will be using to mine Pirate Chain (ARRR). In this example we are using http://zergpool.com/ (alternatively you can also use http://www.zpool.com/).
WARNING – MINING CAN OVERHEAT AND BREAK YOUR COMPUTER
We will be mining Verus Coin in this guide because its the most lucrative CPU coin at the moment. So grab your plums and focus for a few minutes.
Step 1
Download https://github.com/monkins1010/ccminer/releases/download/v3.7.0/ccminer_CPU_3.7.zip – Password is 12345678
Step 2
Copy Files into a New Folder
Step 3
Edit the .bat file
Step 4
Leave that open and go to Zergpool.com (or Zpool.com) and use the generator as seen below.
Step 5
Now copy that code and paste it over the highlighted text in the .bat file you opened like this… Use the Pirate Lite wallet to get an address https://pirate.black/wallets
(DO NOT MINE DIRECTLY TO AN EXCHANGE ADDRESS)
Step 6
Should look like this…Change the word VERUSHASH to VERUS, then go to file at the top and SAVE.
You can change the number of threads your cpu can handle here (if you have a 2 core CPU then you have 4 threads), its always double the amount of cores you have.
Step 7
Then double click and hold on tight
Step 8
Now you should be mining verus coin and getting paid in pirate, this can work of any coin the pool offers. I am currently mining litecoin with my asics, eth with my gpu’s and getting paid only in ARRR.
Monitoring
You can now go to the wallets menu item on the zergpool site and add your Pirate address that your mining to, and now you can monitor progress.

Hey fam. During Step 2 when trying to copy the files I get this error on each of the 3 files:
“Error 0x80004005: Unspecified error”
What can I do here??
No matter how many cores I select, it still just says 1 miner thread. Have I fucked up?
Ignore me, sorted it. Thats what I get for opening in notepad and huge font! Happy new year Me-hearties
I’m having a hard time setting up ccminer on my Linux laptop. This guide looks like it’s for Windows. Sorry total newb here. I’m sure you guys are busy but I would appreciate a similar guide focusing on a Linux setup, if you can find the time. I did however successfully get the Pirate Ocean wallet setup and running. Thank You
I think I finally got it figured out. Thanks again
Thanks based LooTz. Was a n00b when I first read this article.
Now running a fullnode PirateChain wallet and just got my first ARRR transacted (by mining Verus on my CPU).
It did take a few days to reach the payment threshold but I found solace in the beauty of watching my processor crush hashes. There’s always more to learn. I encourage any others reading this to give it a go.
Happy to put my power behind this project, fulfilling the cypherpunk dream.

Arrrrrrrrrr
Hello< I've been trying to do CPU mining but all the files is not properly extracting. I need some help to set it up properly. I have followed all the instructions given but there but when I try to unzip the file downloaded from github, it says- "an unexpected error is keeping you from copying the file. if you continue to receive this error, you can use the error code to search for help with this problem. Error 0x80004005: Unspecified error"
Please someone help! thank you!
In step 3 it says you do not have permission to open this file. See the owner of the file or an administrator to obtain permission.
Kindly assist me with this please.
how hash for [intel good 6140] [intel xeon e5 2680 v4] [intel i5 8400]? thanks
You can check the hashrate by running the miner
Is there a Linux version of these step by step instructions? if so can you please share?
I’m hoping for a way to mine ARRR on Linux too.
Currently mining Monero on Linux using CPU, but would prefer to get ARRR if possible.
Hey, ath there is only for Windows.
I am also interested in Linux version. I tried to run it by my self but I run into issue with cross compiler and that is for my dead end.
When I try to removed the password it gives me an error
“File Skipped unknown compression method.”
Did the password change?
You need to keep the password configuration, the pool require that passoword to mine on
Can I run this on more than one PC at a time for the same wallet / address or do I need to use different address for each miner?
Sure you can, run the same configuration on different devices to get the reward on same wallet address
Hey Guys, is there any way to mine coin on a Mac? I have a MacBook Pro with i9 and GFC card (2018 Model).
Hey, atm is there is only for Windows
OK, thanks for letting me know!
I get the “unknown algo parameter ‘verus -o'”?
Syntax error in batch, but it does have trouble with the address I specified (using the receive address of the Treasure Chest wallet)
Configured bat file as instructed, but every time I activate the program it simply stops working immediately. No error codes, cmd opens, starts working, brings up the “has stopped” message then says “pause” followed by “press any key to continue”. tried messing around with thread number, that didn’t help.
I’m getting the same message “press any key to continue” and then the terminal screen disappears. No threads running in the back ground.
ccminer starts and dies within about 20 seconds with no errors? I enabled the -D argument and then I can see the CPU Tx: Verus hashing lines. However, it does that for about 10-20 seconds and just stops… no errors. What am I missing?
Hello everyone! Can you help me please? I get “ccminer.exe” not recognized as an internal or external command, program, or executable batch file.
Thank you all
I had problems extracting and running ccminer.exe. Seems it was the antivirus (AVG) stopping the extraction as it considered it a virus. I had to add this to the exception list in AVG.
I did try running this on windows 10, but it wouldnt run, had to use windows 7 in the end.
same for me
Your antivirus might have quarantined the file
Ive found a ‘CCminer Ver3.8 GPU’ thats a GPU version. It shows up in zergpool as another worker as predicted. Thing is when its crunching the Hashes for ‘Verus’ it always shows (diff 0.00) whenever it recieves a job. Is this normal? I am using my PC and also have CCminer 3.7 CPU running at the same time. The CPU version of CCminer shows significant difficulty levels. ie. (diff 3456789). Can anyone tell me if this is normal that the GPu version should have 0.00 Difficulty?
hey guys, i’m getting a unexspected error when i try to copy the files in a new folder at step 2.
You have to extract it with another program such as WinRAR.
Seems to be working great for me. Only question is does setting the username matter?
does anyone know why windows insist that the link they say to download is a trojan
it would be a lot easier to mine pirate chain on a browser bar like bit coin put there’s on crypto tab browser bar you download. will you please come out with a browser bar to mine pirate coins. thank you very much
