How  Mining  Works

Fractal's consensus mechanism is Proof-of-Work — consistent with Bitcoin.

Fractal uses an innovative mining method called Cadence Mining to balance the benefits of merged mining, permissionless mining and Index mining.

For merged and permissionless mining, miners can use existing ASICs and other compatible hardware devices to mine blocks.

Merged Mining

Fractal Bitcoin supports merged mining with Bitcoin, allowing miners to mine Fractal Bitcoin blocks simultaneously while mining the Bitcoin mainnet.

Permissionless Mining

Beyond merged mining, Fractal (FB) can also be permissionlessly mined on its own. This accessibility ensures that miners can flexibly participate directly in the Fractal network, depending on market conditions.

Index Mining

Fractal Standard Indexing Service is a standardized, open-source, and permissionless data indexing system integrated into Fractal's block reward mechanism to support long-term, incentivized data availability across the ecosystem. Indexers provide indexing services, while FB holders can stake FB to support their selected indexers.

Mining  FAQ

1. Potential Factors Affecting Block Production Efficiency and Solutions

1.1 Running an outdated node version

Ensure that your mining node is updated to the latest version: Release

1.2 High orphan block rate due to poor pool connectivity

To reduce the orphan block rate, mining pool nodes should establish connections with each other. Please contact the official team through the Telegram group and provide your mining node's IP address. The team will whitelist your IP, enabling your node to connect to the nearest designated node. This improved connectivity will help reduce orphan blocks.

Recommended addnodes:

  • Singapore: addnode=34.87.61.167:8333
  • Hong Kong: addnode=34.92.14.221:8333
  • United States: addnode=35.235.106.223:8333
  • United Kingdom: addnode=35.189.95.174:8333

1.3 Mining machine polling intervals

Shorter polling intervals for mining tasks can significantly improve mining efficiency.

Based on consultation with established pools like F2Pool, we recommend a 3-second polling interval for FB mining.

Other mining machine parameter settings:

  • Start diff & max diff: Configure these based on your miners' hashrates. Optimal settings should allow miners to submit shares approximately every 20 seconds.
  • Nonce parameter: No adjustments required.
