Step by Step Guide: How to mine CMM (for windows)
1. Hardware and software for mining
You need to download software that depends on your GPU.
For AMD miners:
- Claymore's ZCash/BTG AMD GPU Miner download here
Command line to start miner
ZecMiner64.exe -zpool <server>:<port> -zwal <address>.<worker> -zpsw <pass>
For NVIDIA miners:
- dstm's ZCash / Equihash Nvidia Miner download here
Command line to start miner
zm.exe --server <server> --user <address>.<worker> --port <port> --pass <pass>
- EWBF's CUDA Zcash miner download here
Command line to start miner
miner.exe --server <server> --user <address>.<worker> --port <port> --pass <pass>
- Bminer download here
Command line to start miner
bminer.exe --uri stratum://<address>.<worker>:<password>@<server>:<port>
2. Get CMM wallet address
- Download CMM windows wallet here
- Extract file commercium-0.1-15-win64.zip
- Run commercium-qt.exe
- Select data directory
Use the default data directory (C:\Users\XX\AppData\Roaming\Commercium) or
Use custom data directory that you want
Click OK
Note: just ignore (153 GB needed) (blockchain size is about 1.4 GB)
- Windows security alert
This program is trying to receive information from internet.
Click Allow access
- Blockchain is syncing, don’t wait we just want the wallet address, go next step
- Click File -> Receiving addresses
- Get wallet address by select the item and click copy

3. Pool
Select a pool. You can check CMM pool list at https://miningpoollists.com/commercium/
I recommend you to mine a pool that:
- Low hash rate (Please spread out the hash to avoid 51% attack)
- Low fee
- Low ping (reduce rejected shares)
If you join CMM discord, you can check pool list by go to #botchat and type ?pools
4. Start mining
For example
- I have 2 x 1070 TI and use dstm’s Miner
Command line to start dstm’s Miner
zm.exe --server <server> --user <address>.<worker> --port <port> --pass <pass>
- My wallet address is CNAEmMmYqsYha7VyWH2XgptAGk4F3bGtbu
- Pool is https://vpool.io/ Get additional information from pool website.
<address>: CNAEmMmYqsYha7VyWH2XgptAGk4F3bGtbu
<worker>: rig1
<pass>: x
<server>: us.vpool.io
<port>: 3032
Note: There are 2 servers at EU and US. I select a lower ping server by check ping from command line as shown below
The complete command line is
zm.exe --server us.vpool.io --user CNAEmMmYqsYha7VyWH2XgptAGk4F3bGtbu.rig1 --port 3032 --pass x
Create new text file at the dstm’s miner folder by right click -> New -> Text Document and rename to cmm_vpool_dstm.bat
Use text editor to edit cmm_vpool_dstm.bat
Save and close.
Run cmm_vpool_dstm.bat
The mining status is shown as below
Enjoy mining.
Estimate mining reward
Now at block 321,606 and nethash is 940 KSol/s
Number of blocks in a day (block time is 0.5 minute)
Number of CMM in a day (block reward is 32 cmm)
Approximately reward if you have 1 Ksol/s and nethash is 940 Ksol/s
A easy way to check the revenue by using CMM discord at #botchat type ?cmm <hashrate>
Note: It is only 34 days before halving at block 420,000 (about July 4, 2018)
