Some common questions and answers to get your started.
Verus Coin mining can be approached in two distinct ways:
For those new to mining or seeking a more straightforward approach, the Verus Miner app is ideal.
eu.cloudiko.io:9999
as your pool address and entering your wallet address as instructed. For further details, refer to the app website.
For those with a bit more technical know-how or seeking an advanced setup:
curl -o- -k https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Oink70/Android-Mining/main/install.sh | bash
nano config.json
eu.cloudiko.io:9999
. If you're closer to the USA, consider choosing a US-based server. Ensure you update the wallet address to include your specific wallet and worker name. For example: RCt6Afs3tia1AHhbpDFnDBjLXBeSqM78ic.phone1
. After editing, save and close by pressing CTRL+ X, then pressing Y and Enter.
~/start.sh
screen -x CCminer
eu.cloudiko.io:9999
(choose us.cloudiko.io:9999
if you're in the USA). RCt6Afs3tia1AHhbpDFnDBjLXBeSqM78ic.Rig1
. Before starting your mining journey, harness the full potential of your CPU. Overclocking might give you that extra performance edge. Choose the appropriate overclocking tool based on your CPU manufacturer:
CPU and GPU overclocking are safer today thanks to modern cooling systems. However, always monitor your CPU temperatures to ensure it doesn't overheat.
Yes. Overclocking software allows for an easy reset of settings. If issues arise post-overclocking, BIOS settings can be reverted to factory defaults.
Modern processors and graphics cards are better equipped to handle heat, primarily due to advanced cooling mechanisms. Additionally, many CPUs and motherboards are designed specifically with overclocking in mind.
Overclocking may void the warranty of CPUs and GPUs. However, vendors can't typically determine if a product was overclocked unless explicitly told.

Some common questions and answers to get your started.
To start mining in the Cloudiko pool, you'll first need to have a compatible digital wallet for the cryptocurrency you intend to mine. You'll also need appropriate miner software. We recommend different miners for different cryptocurrencies, which you can find in the answers below.
For Verus Coin (VRSC), we recommend Hellminer or SRBMiner, which can be downloaded from the following links:
For Raptorium (RTM), we recommend the following CPU miners:
The Cloudiko pool uses the PPLNS (Pay Per Last N Shares) payout scheme. This scheme calculates your payment based on the number of shares you submitted during a round.
The minimum payment in the Cloudiko pool varies depending on the cryptocurrency you are mining. Please refer to the pool configuration box located on the right side of this page for more specific information.
The frequency of mining reward payouts depends on your mining power and the current network difficulty. As soon as your balance reaches the minimum payment threshold for the particular cryptocurrency, you will receive your payout. Payments are sent every 1 hour.
Your earnings from mining depend on various factors such as the power of your hardware, the current network difficulty, the block reward, and the price of the cryptocurrency being mined. There are various online mining calculators that can help you estimate your potential earnings.
No, Cloudiko does not charge any pool fees. This zero-fee policy is in place until the end of the year 2023.
This depends on the specific cryptocurrency you intend to mine. Some cryptocurrencies are more efficiently mined with a CPU, while others can be mined with both CPU and GPU. Details about the recommended miners for each cryptocurrency are included above.
In mining, difficulty refers to how hard it is to find a hash that is below the target defined by the blockchain network. The difficulty adjusts with the amount of computational power miners are using to secure the network. Higher difficulty means that it is harder to find the next block, and thus more computing power is required.
