Hello all,

Just for the fun of doing it, I would like to know if it is possible to mine Sha-256 alt coins with an Antrouter R1 (Bitmain).  Huh
And if yes, How ?
Mine is currently "mining" btc on CKpool.
 
Thank you for your answers.

I don't think so that the Ant router could mine altcoin through SHA256. SHA256 can only mine bitcoin.

the hashing chips can handle any sha256d coin you throw at them, the question which remains however is if the software supports adding custom pools, if so yes its possible, else no

in the second case there probably is an alternative rom which allows setting custom pools

i dont own any antrouter, but i would imagine you should be able to set custom pools by default

you can use these posts as a starting point: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1196852.320
