How mine gpu solo i dont understand i worked node but i cant mine for gpu.
You’re not missing a “GPU button” in the node.
The Wcash node can mine with its internal CPU miner, but GPU mining is normally done over Stratum, which means you either:
mine on a public pool, or
run your own local pool/stratum connected to your node (and if you are the only miner on it, that’s “solo” in practice — you keep 100% of whatever blocks your hashrate finds).
Full guide (step-by-step) is here:
https://w.cash/mineBelow is the simplest “solo GPU” path (your own node + your own stratum/pool + your GPU miner).
Solo GPU mining (run your own mini-pool locally)Step 1) Get the Wcash node and build it(Guide reference:
https://w.cash/mineDownload the official bundle:
curl -L https://w.cash/downloads/wcash.zip
-o wcash.zip
unzip wcash.zip
cd wcash
Build (release):
Step 2) Generate keys (keep your mnemonic safe)You’ll use the
UFVK (uview1...) for mining configs (view-only), not your seed words.
cargo run -p zcash-keygen --bin zcash-keygen -- --mnemonic
[]Never paste your 24-word mnemonic into a pool/miner config.
[]UFVK (uview1...) is the safe “viewing” key to put into the node config.
Step 3) Enable “stratum/pool mode” on your nodeEdit the stratum config and add your UFVK:
nano configs/wcash/mainnet-stratum.toml
Make sure you have something like:
[mining.deterministic_reward]
unified_full_viewing_key = "uview1YOUR_UFVK_HERE"
height_offset = 0
Then run the node with the RPC feature that your pool will use:
cargo run --release --features "internal-miner,getblocktemplate-rpcs" --bin zebrad --
-c configs/wcash/mainnet-stratum.toml start
Bind RPC only to localhost or trusted IPs. Don’t expose it to the public internet unless you know exactly what you’re doing.
Step 4) Run your own pool (pool.zip)Download:
curl -L https://w.cash/downloads/pool.zip
-o pool.zip
unzip pool.zip
cd pool
Install dependencies (Ubuntu):
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y build-essential python3 redis-server libsodium-dev libboost-all-dev curl git
sudo systemctl start redis-server
sudo systemctl enable redis-server
Install Node 8.11 + npm6 (as in the guide):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.7/install.sh
| bash
. "$HOME/.nvm/nvm.sh"
nvm install 8.11.0
nvm use 8.11.0
npm install -g npm@6
Install pool packages:
rm -rf node_modules
npm install
Apply the included Wcash stratum patches (this step matters):
cp wcash_pool_modules/stratum-pool/lib/{stratum.js,pool.js,jobManager.js,nu5BlockTemplate.js}
node_modules/stratum-pool/lib/
Configure pool to talk to your node:
(Equihash 200,9 + useZGetMiningJob: true)
[]Edit
so RPC host/port points to your local node and set your Stratum port (example 1235)
Start the pool:
If the pool is connected correctly, you should see logs like:
Stratum Pool Server Started...
z_getminingjob init...
Now you point your GPU miner to your own stratum, for example:
Server:
(or your server IP)
Port:
(whatever you set)
Also note (very important):Wcash is
Equihash (200,9) and
pers = ZcashPoW. Wrong algo/pers = rejects.
Example GPU miner (EWBF) — install + run(Your node/pool setup is “solo”; the miner software is separate.)
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y wget screen
cd ~
mkdir -p ewbf
cd ewbf
wget https://repo.tvujweb.cz/mining/Zec.miner.0.3.4b.Linux.Bin.tar.gz
tar xf Zec.miner.0.3.4b.Linux.Bin.tar.gz
chmod +x miner start.sh
Start script (solo = point to your own pool IP/port):
cat > start-wcash.sh << 'EOF'
#!/bin/bash
./miner
--server 127.0.0.1
--port 1235
--user u1YOUR_UNIFIED_ADDRESS.worker1
--pass x
--pec
--templimit 78
EOF
chmod +x start-wcash.sh
./start-wcash.sh
[]Your stratum username should be a single string with
no spaces.
[]Use a payout address string (
u1...) as username. Do
NOT use
uview1... on public pools.
[/list]
If you meant “I want to GPU mine right now without running my own pool”That’s pool mining (not solo). Use the community pool:
stratum+tcp://wcash.powpools.com:5555
And point your miner there (replace address/worker):
./miner
--server wcash.powpools.com
--port 5555
--user u1YOUR_UNIFIED_ADDRESS.worker1
--pass x
--pec
--templimit 78
If you follow the order above (node in stratum mode → pool connected to node → GPU miner pointed at your pool), you’ll have a real “solo GPU” setup where you control everything. For anything you’re unsure about, stick to the official steps here:
