How to mine Beam (BEAM)

1Get a wallet

You need a Beam address to receive what you mine. Use an official wallet:

• Beam Wallet - desktop, mobile and web

Beam's mining guide asks for an SBBS address from your Beam Wallet.

Write the seed phrase down on paper and keep it offline. The miner and the pool only ever need the public address.

2Pick a pool

A pool combines many miners so you get paid steadily instead of waiting to find a whole block. Live fees and payouts for every pool are on the pools table.

HeroMiners has servers in many regions: replace de with fr, es, fi, ru, ca, us, us2, us3, br, hk, kr, sg, tr or au. The same port takes plain and TLS connections. Solo mining: solo:YOUR_WALLET. Port 1131 is the NiceHash port. Kryptex does not host Beam.

3Pick a miner

Beam has no official miner of its own; beam.mw lists lolMiner, GMiner and Bminer. SRBMiner-MULTI, Rigel, BzMiner and WildRig Multi do not list BeamHash.

4Set it up

Replace YOUR_WALLET with your address and YOUR_WORKER with a name for this machine. On Windows, save the line as a .bat file in the miner's folder and double-click it. On Linux, run it from the miner's folder.

@echo off
cd /d "%~dp0"
lolMiner.exe --coin BEAM --pool de.beam.herominers.com:1130 --user YOUR_WALLET.YOUR_WORKER --tls on
pause

./lolMiner --coin BEAM --pool de.beam.herominers.com:1130 --user YOUR_WALLET.YOUR_WORKER --tls on

@echo off
cd /d "%~dp0"
miner.exe --algo beamhash --server de.beam.herominers.com:1130 --user YOUR_WALLET.YOUR_WORKER --ssl 1
pause

5Check it works

• Within a few minutes the miner should print accepted shares. Rejected or stale shares above a few percent mean a problem with the connection, the clocks or the pool address.
• Open your pool's dashboard and search for your address. Your worker appears after its first shares; pool hashrate settles over an hour or so.
• Watch temperatures for the first hour: GPU core, hotspot and memory.

Warnings and cautions

Beam-specific

• VRAM: Beam's docs ask for at least 3 GB, while lolMiner's notes say its BeamHash III solver needs a 6 GB card. Plan on 6 GB.
• Beam's docs: keep your Beam Wallet open when the pool sends rewards, so the payment can arrive.

For every coin

• Download miners only from the official page. Use the GitHub release or website linked in the miner table. Fake miners that steal wallets or mine to someone else are common. Where the developer publishes SHA-256 checksums, compare them before the first start (Windows: Get-FileHash .\file.zip -Algorithm SHA256; Linux: sha256sum file.tar.gz).
• Antivirus warnings. Windows Defender and other antivirus tools flag almost every GPU miner as a "potentially unwanted" program, because malware bundles them. Add a folder exclusion only for a miner you downloaded from its official page and checked, and never turn protection off as a whole.
• Your seed phrase is never needed. A miner and a pool only need your public address. Anyone who asks for your seed (recovery) phrase or private key is trying to steal your coins.
• Power, heat and hardware. Mining runs the card at full load all day. Watch GPU, hotspot and memory temperatures, keep the room ventilated, and do not leave a rig running unattended near anything flammable. A power limit or undervolt usually costs a little hashrate and saves a lot of power. Check that your power supply and cables are rated for the load.
• Profit is an estimate. Price, network hashrate and pool luck change every hour. The calculator shows today's numbers, not a promise. Small coins can be hard to sell, and taxes on mined coins apply in many countries. Nothing here is financial advice.
