In this article, we will show you how to configure your GPU mining rig to mine ETH on ViaBTC pool.

First, open the address editor and add a new tag (POOL:ETC-VIABTC) which will hold the Binance Pool stratum address. There are several ports available, so choose one of the following stratum addresses:

• etc.viabtc.com:3010
• etc.viabtc.com:25
• etc.viabtc.com:443

Next, you will need to open ViaBTC website and register. By default, it creates you a mining account with the name you've chosen during registration. You can later use account management page in settings to create more sub-accounts much like on F2Pool or Binance, setup watchers with view access, as well as favorite watched accounts. You can create any mining account name you like and use it for identification of your rigs.

In the next step you need to save your ViaBTC mining account to your address editor. Create new tag (WALLET:VIABTC) under wallets with your ViaBTC Pool's mining account name.

In the next step, navigate to your worker's config. Select a default mining client that you want to use for mining ETC and then use the simple or advanced configuration.

Click on the default mining client's name, search for ETC, and select preferred mining client. Mining clients that are grayed out are not available for your system and type of worker.
