Ethereum & Ethereum Classic hashing speed using 6x Sapphire Nitro+ RX 470 4GB can be up to 170Mh/s.
Here is how you can mine Ethereum and Pascal at the same time with Claymore’s Dual Mininer:
Create PascalCoin Wallet Key
- First of all, create an account with https://poloniex.com/
- When logged in, go to “BALANCES” -> “DEPOSITS & WITHDRAWALS“
- In the search form type “pasc” and it will instantly show you PascalCoin, then click on “deposit” and the wallet key will be generated, save it for later.
- The click on Deposit Address to generate one, save it for later
Preparing Mining Pools
- As always for Ethereum i will be using https://ethermine.org/ (no account registration is required)
- For PascalCoin i will use https://pasc.suprnova.cc/, create an account with suprnova if you don’t have one yet/
- Once logged in, go to “Edit Account” and fill it up with your details, also don’t forget to add the wallet key there and to set
- Then go to “My Account” -> “My Workers” and create one

- Once downloaded, extract the files from archive
- Right click on “start.bat” file and then click “Edit“
- Replace everything with the following code: EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool eu1.ethermine.org:4444 -ewal WALLET_KEY.RIG_NAME -epsw x -dpool stratum+tcp://pasc.suprnova.cc:5279 -dwal SUPRNOVA_USERNAME.SUPRNOVA_WORKER_NAME -dpsw SUPRNOVA_PASSWORD -dcoin pasc -dcri 10
- Replace wallet key, rig name, username and password with yours
- “Save as” .bat file and give it a name like ETH+PASC.bat
- Run the .bat file and the miner process with start.
That’s it, you are now mining Ethereum and Pascal at the same time with Claymore’s Dual Miner
