Nerdminer Setup Instructions

Configuring the NerdMiner:

You will firstly need to configure the device to connect to your Wi-Fi network and enter a bitcoin address where you wish to receive your block reward to if your NerdMiner finds a block.

1. On your computer or mobile phone, connect to the Wi-Fi network provided by your Nerdminer device. You can achieve this by either scanning the QR code displayed on the screen or manually scanning for the Wi-Fi network and logging in using the credentials below:

The SSID is: NerdMinerAP:
The Password is: MineYourCoins

2. Open a web-browser, you should be automatically re-directed to a set-up page. If you aren’t automatically re-directed simply manually navigate to 192.168.4.1 in a the browser.

3. Click the “Configure Wi-Fi” option and provide the requested information on the screen. This includes selecting your Wi-Fi network (click the "Refresh" button should your wifi networks not display at the to of the screen), entering the Wi-Fi network password, and specifying the bitcoin address for receiving mined bitcoin in the event of discovering a block, we suggest a seg-wit address starting bc1q (Note; taproot addresses starting bc1p don't currently work with the default public-pool). The pool settings are pre-set to public-pool.io, but you can customize them according to your preferences, though it’s usually advisable to keep the default settings.

The fields annotated with red text on the image below are the 3 fields you need to configure.
