Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why do I need to set up multiple ports?
We recommend setting up multiple ports to ensure a stable and sustainable mining process. Should one of them become inactive, the miner will automatically switch to the next to continue mining.
2. My miner is already running, but the mining pool is showing “inactive miner”.
The miner status will become active after it keeps running for approximately 10 - 20 minutes. If you see an “inactive” status, please check the miner’s settings. If the issue persists, please contact Binance Support.
