How to Mine Quantus (QTC) — quantus GPU Guide

A step-by-step guide to mining Quantus on the pool.ion.cool pool: the exact SRBMiner-MULTI command, a ready-made HiveOS Flight Sheet, stratum ports and how payouts work. No accounts and no sign-ups — your wallet address is your identity on the pool.

What you need

An NVIDIA or AMD GPU — quantus is a GPU algorithm
SRBMiner-MULTI 3.7.3 or newer — Windows and Linux builds, srbminer.com · GitHub releases
Your QTC wallet address — see step 1
Nothing else: the pool has no accounts, logins or email confirmation

1. Get your QTC wallet

Official wallet: Quantus wallet
Explorer (to check payments): https://explorer.quantus.com
Exchanges: BigONE and SafeTrade list QTC
Quantus addresses look like qz…

Use your own wallet address, not an exchange deposit address, unless the exchange explicitly says it supports pool payouts to QTC.

2. Install SRBMiner-MULTI 3.7.3

Windows: download SRBMiner-Multi-*-win64.zip from the GitHub releases page and unpack it — note the version dots are dashes in the file name (3.7.3 → 3-7-3)
Linux: SRBMiner-Multi-*-Linux.tar.gz from the same page
Drivers: current NVIDIA or AMD drivers are enough — no CUDA toolkit needed

3. Create the mining command

Windows — save as mine-QTC.bat next to the miner

SRBMiner-MULTI.exe --algorithm quantus --pool pool.ion.cool:33334 --wallet <YOUR_QTC_ADDRESS>.RIG1

Linux

./SRBMiner-MULTI --algorithm quantus --pool pool.ion.cool:33334 --wallet <YOUR_QTC_ADDRESS>.RIG1

Replace <YOUR_QTC_ADDRESS> with your real address and RIG1 with your rig name
Wallet format: ADDRESS or ADDRESS.rigname — everything after the dot is the worker name
Always use --algorithm (not --algo): SRBMiner does not recognise --algo and exits with “You defined more pools than algorithms”
Several rigs: same address, different rig names (ADDRESS.rig1, ADDRESS.rig2, …)

Miners: what was tested against this pool

Miner	Algorithm	Result on this pool
SRBMiner-MULTI 3.7.3 GPU, Windows and Linux	`quantus`	Works — tested. This is the miner driving this pool's own rig: an RTX 5060 laptop GPU sat on `pool.ion.cool:33334` for an hour and moved the pool's counter by 4050 accepted shares, with nothing rejected

The number belongs to the pool, not to the miner. Every figure on this page is the change in the pool's own validShares counter across a timed run — a miner cheerfully printing "accepted" while the pool throws the share away is precisely the failure this method is built to expose
Quantus pushes the work onto the card and keeps the CPU on pool duty, so a CPU-only rig connects without complaint but hashes far slower than the same budget spent on a GPU

4. Pool ports

Server	Port	Protocol	Difficulty
pool.ion.cool	3333	quic + TLS	100000000
pool.ion.cool	33334	stratum	100000000
pool.ion.cool	33335	stratum + TLS	100000000

Port 33334 — plain stratum, the recommended default
Port 33335 — the same stratum over TLS, for miners that need an encrypted connection
The address bar of this page is always the server: pool.ion.cool

5. HiveOS Flight Sheet

HiveOS has no built-in preset for QTC, so this Flight Sheet uses a Custom miner with the SRBMiner author's HiveOS build. Import it: Flight Sheets → Import from Clipboard (paste the JSON below), pick your wallet and apply.

{
    "isFavorite": false,
    "items": [
        {
            "coin": "QTC",
            "dpool_ssl": false,
            "miner": "custom",
            "miner_alt": "srbminer",
            "miner_config": {

            },
            "pool_geo": [],
            "pool_ssl": false
        }
    ],

}

Prefer to set it up by hand? Create a Flight Sheet with these values:

Miner: Custom · Name: anything, e.g. QTC pool.ion.cool
Installation URL: https://github.com/doktor83/SRBMiner-Multi/releases/download/3.7.3/srbminer_custom-3.7.3.tar.gz
Hash algorithm: quantus
Pool URL: pool.ion.cool:33334 · Pass: x · Wallet template: %WAL%.%WORKER_NAME%
Extra config arguments: --algorithm quantus --pool pool.ion.cool:33334 --wallet %WAL%.%WORKER_NAME%

6. Track your statistics

Dashboard: https://pool.ion.cool/quantus/ — paste your wallet into My Stats to see your hashrate, shares and rounds
Miners table on the dashboard shows every rig live, with per-hour hashrate and pool share
Payments tab lists every payout with its transaction ID
Public API: https://pool.ion.cool/api/pools (miningcore-compatible JSON: hashrate, connected miners, blocks, payments)

How payouts work

Scheme: PROP — your reward is proportional to your valid shares in each round
Cycle: the pool pays out every hour once your balance reaches 0.01 QTC
Fee: 1% — taken from the block rewards (reward recipients), never from your balance
Blocks: under PROP you are paid from the blocks the pool finds; until the first block is found, balances only accumulate
Every payment is visible in the Payments tab and in the block explorer

FAQ

Do I need an account to mine here?

No. Point your miner at pool.ion.cool:33334 with your wallet address and the dashboard will find you by that address. There is no registration, login or email confirmation.

When will I be paid?

The pool pays out every hour once your balance reaches 0.01 QTC. The reward scheme is PROP: payouts come from the blocks the pool finds, so if the pool has not found a block yet, balances accumulate and the payouts start right after the first one.

Which miner should I use?

SRBMiner-MULTI 3.7.3+ with --algorithm quantus is the tested option on this pool, and anything else that understands quantus over plain stratum is welcome too. The run behind that recommendation is recorded in the miners table above.

Can I mine from several rigs with one address?

Yes. Use the same address for every rig and give each a unique suffix after the dot: ADDRESS.rig1, ADDRESS.rig2. Each rig gets its own row in the Miners table.

Is there an encrypted (TLS) connection?

Yes — port 33335 carries the same stratum over TLS; port 33334 is plain stratum and is the recommended default. Port 3333 is QUIC, used by the Quantus node's external-miner endpoint.

Where do I see my hashrate and payments?

On the dashboard: My Stats for your wallet, the Miners table for each rig, and the Payments tab for payout transactions. Machines can also poll the public API.
