Miner Setup Guide

Notes and Considerations

Firepool is run by Nathan.Woodburn/ and doesn't have any guaranteed uptime or support.

Firepool currently has a 1.0% fee and a minimum payout of 10 FBC. Payouts are sent automatically when the block matures (after 100 confirmations).

Step 1: Install Mining Software

Use the official Fistbump miner from github.com/fistbump-org/pool.

Requirements (source install): Swift 5.9+, SQLite3 dev package (apt install libsqlite3-dev on Linux)

Option A: Build from source

git clone https://github.com/fistbump-org/pool.git
cd pool
swift build -c release

Option B: Use Docker image

docker pull git.woodburn.au/nathanwoodburn/fbd-miner:latest

If you are running this in Windows please use the below image (make sure you replace the image in all the instructions below)

docker pull git.woodburn.au/nathanwoodburn/fbd-miner:win

The Docker image includes the miner so you can run the miner without a local Swift toolchain. However it may not have as high performance as a native build.

Step 2: Configure Pool Connection

Host: pool.woodburn.au
Port: 32871

Use your wallet address as username.

yourAddress

You can add an optional rig name:

yourAddress.rig1

Step 3: Start Miner

Replace yourAddress with your FBC payout wallet address.

From source build:

.build/release/miner --user yourAddress --host pool.woodburn.au

From Docker image:

docker run --rm -d git.woodburn.au/nathanwoodburn/fbd-miner:latest --user yourAddress --host pool.woodburn.au

Optional: add a rig name and thread count.

miner --user yourAddress.rig1 --host pool.woodburn.au --threads 4

Step 4: Verify on Dashboard

After starting your miner, go back to the dashboard and search your address to confirm worker hashrate and accepted shares.
