Connecting to WhiteBIT Mining Pool

WhitePool — one of the products in the WhiteBIT ecosystem. It’s a mining pool that aggregates miners’ computing power to increase the chances of finding a new block in the Bitcoin Network. 

This approach offers a practical alternative to the increasingly expensive solo mining, particularly for professional crypto miners, optimizing resource allocation and income stability. The primary function is to enable miners who participate in it to earn more consistent rewards by aggregating their computing power with all the other miners in the pool. Increasing the pool's cumulative power and market share increases the frequency with which the pool finds blocks and earns revenue.

Our mining pool operates independently of the exchange, ensuring heightened stability and reliability.

Suitable hardware

WhitePool is accessible to anyone equipped with compatible hardware and armed with the pool's URL. Our platform supports the SHA256 Algorithm, a cornerstone for mining popular cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.

Bitcoin can be successfully mined with ASIC (SHA256 and SHA256 Asicboost algorithms). Also, GPU, CPU mining is possible, but unprofitable.

How to connect WhiteBIT Mining Pool?

  1. Register on WhiteBIT. Detailed instructions can be found via this link.
  2. Pass KYC verification.
  3. Go to the “WB Ecosystem-WhitePool” tab.

  1. Create your unique miner account on WhitePool. Press the “Get Started” button.

  1. In this step, you must also create a unique name for your mining account. Come up with a name for your mining account (from 4 to 20 characters). A nickname can only consist of Latin letters and numbers. You can’t change your mining account nickname. Accept the User Agreement and click “Create”.


Please note: This account is separate from your main exchange account and serves as your identification in the WhiteBIT Mining Pool. You can create a maximum of 15 mining accounts per WhiteBIT account.

Done! This account will be your identification when connecting to the Mining Pool. WhitePool has a user-friendly interface, as well as the necessary functionality to control equipment and production, share access to the dashboard and track equipment efficiency, set up status change notifications for one or more workers, and many other tools.



Connecting your miner (ASIC miner S9, for example)

  1. Connect the Power Supply: Your power supply has ten 6-pin connectors with yellow-black wires. Insert nine connectors into the white plastic sockets on the miner's body. Ensure each is securely connected until you hear a straightforward click. The remaining connector should be attached to the control board, positioned slightly away from the other nine sockets.
  2. Connect the Network Cable and Power Cord: Check the signal lights once the fans start running (usually within 15–20 seconds), indicating the miner is powered. The network light should blink, and the power light should remain green. If everything looks good, the miner is operational, then we can proceed to the next step.

How to connect your ASIC miner to your computer?

1. Find the Miner's IP Address: When connecting your ASIC miner to your computer and mining pool, it's essential to identify the miner's IP address. This IP address is a distinctive label for your miner within your local network.
Here's how:

Using an IP Scanner: You can use specialized software known as an IP scanner. This tool scans your local network and lists all the connected devices, along with their respective IP addresses. When you run an IP scan, you'll see a list of devices, and you can identify your miner by its manufacturer or model name. Once you locate your miner's IP address in the list, you can copy it.

2. Access the Miner's Web Interface: To do this, paste the copied IP address into your browser's address bar. On this tab, you will find essential system details such as the miner's type, hostname, model, and more. 

3. Connecting Your Miner to the Mining Pool

  1. Register a Miner Account on WhiteBIT: This account is separate from your Main exchange account and serves as your identification in the WhiteBIT Mining Pool. In this step, you must also create a unique name for your mining account.
  2. Access the "Miner General Configuration" tab: Enter the details of your registered miner account in the "Worker" field. In the URL field, add the address of your mining pool. (We have two URLs: primary and backup, so enter both.)

Please note: The "Password" field is optional, but you can enter it if preferred.


Important! If you have multiple devices or workers, use additional identifiers by adding four digits to your miner account name. For example: ayaks.0001, ayaks.0002.

  1. Save Settings and Reboot the ASIC: After entering all the necessary information, save your settings and wait for the ASIC miner to reboot. This reboot initiates the mining process. Your ASIC miner has started earning money now, but let's ensure it works correctly.

4. Check "Miner Status": You should see the hashrate, chip temperatures in the working range, and, most importantly, the "ASIC Status" showing all zeros without any crosses. This indicates a successful connection, and the mining process is running smoothly.

Critical! Please note: If you notice any crosses in the ASIC Status, restart the miner. Often, a restart resolves these issues. If the problem persists, further investigation or returning the ASIC to the seller might be necessary.

Once the ASIC is connected and operational, leave it running. If everything is configured correctly, your device data should start displaying on the mining pool dashboard on WhiteBIT within about 5 minutes (the typical working interval).

Upon successful identification and registration, miners can begin contributing their computational power to the pool's collective efforts. As mining activities progress, the final mining income is settled in Bitcoin (BTC) and promptly credited to the designated exchange accounts of the participating miners. This streamlined process ensures transparency and efficiency, allowing miners to focus on their operations while seamlessly receiving rewards.
