Title: How to Mine on Flex Pool with BZ Miner: A Detailed Guide
Introduction:
Welcome back, Rabid here, and today I will guide you on how to mine on Flex Pool using BZ Miner. I want to acknowledge and thank both Flex Pool and BZ Miner for sponsoring this video. Iron Fish is currently in the testnet phase and will be launching on the mainnet on April 20th, provided there are no delays. Flex Pool is offering rewards to users who help test their pool early. So, let’s dive into how you can start mining on Flex Pool using BZ Miner.
Testnet Phase:
To encourage testing and stress testing of the Iron Fish pool during its testnet phase, Flex Pool is offering a $5,000 USD airdrop to all users who contribute to testing the pool for the next three days. The rewards will be distributed in Iron, the native currency of Iron Fish, shortly after it becomes tradable. It is important to save the wallet keys used on the testnet as they will be needed to receive the rewards on the mainnet. The rewards will be weighted, meaning that the more hash rate you contribute during the testnet, the more rewards you will receive.
Earnings During Testnet:
Based on the current hash rate of 250 gigahertz, a single RTX 3080 would earn approximately $125 over the three-day testnet period. However, it is important to note that earnings are subject to decline with the pool hash rate growing. As the testnet progresses, the hash rate is expected to increase, which may reduce individual earnings.
BZ Miner and its Updated Version:
BZ Miner is also expected to release an updated version with improved hash rates and efficiencies. An early alpha version of the updated miner has been made available for testing. In this article, we will also compare BZ Miner with Regal Miner and SRB Miner on a RTX 3070 to assess their performance. The updated version of BZ Miner may be released around the same time as this video or within the next few days.
Setting up BZ Miner on Windows:
Let’s start by setting up BZ Miner on Windows and configuring it with overclock settings in your bat file. Assuming you already have a wallet, you can find the address you need to point your rig to in the “Get Started” section of the Flex Pool website. Once you have downloaded and extracted BZ Miner, make sure to set it to run as an administrator by going to its properties and selecting the appropriate option.
The default bat file for BZ Miner includes the settings for mining on Hero Miner. To mine on Flex Pool, simply insert two semicolons before the line that refers to Hero Miner. Then, insert the address of the Iron Fish pool provided by Flex Pool and add your worker address. The worker address is typically your Iron Fish address followed by a period and then the worker name. Additionally, include the stratums you found on the Flex Pool website and the overclock settings you desire. See the description below for specific settings.
Once you have made the necessary changes to the bat file, save it and run it as an administrator. You can check if the settings have been applied by opening your miner’s software, such as Afterburner, and confirming the selected overclock settings.
Setting up BZ Miner on Hive OS:
Now, let’s move on to setting up BZ Miner on Hive OS. In Hive OS, create a new flight sheet and select the Iron coin. If you haven’t added your wallet address yet, click on ‘Add Wallet,’ select Iron, and paste in your address. Name the wallet, and click ‘Create.’ Next, select Flex Pool as the mining pool. As of now, there is only one option available.
Conclusion:
Mining on Flex Pool using BZ Miner can be a lucrative endeavor, especially during the testnet phase. By following the steps mentioned above, you can easily set up BZ Miner on both Windows and Hive OS. Remember to customize the settings according to your requirements, and don’t forget to save your wallet keys for future reward distribution on the mainnet. Happy mining!

Thoughts On The Airdrop? Did you check out the miner tests what miner are you using?
Thank you, Rabid Mining
Would those windows overclocks work with a 3080TI?
I cant figure out how to add the overclock thing to the notepad i have everything else working i have a few questions if someone could answer super please.
Ok the first I have two different pcs running do i only have to have 1 node running as long as i use the same wallet address in both config files or do i have to run the Powershell node on both mining rigs at all times.?
Second question when doing the overclock do i do -300 Core clock like can someone tell me what a good clock for Ironfish is if u was to use MSI burner that is.
Like in MSI burner would i start with dropping the powerlimit to 90-80-70 then -200 core and -memory how does that work?
BZminer v1.4.2.0 is buggy as hell.. I would avoid it big time.. after half hour suddenly all my 3080 ti's are hot as hell and at 300+W each. Downgraded back to stable v1.4.1.1. Luckily I checked rig in time…
Great walkthrough Rabid. Thanks 👍
As of 4/19, Rigel miner blows BZ and SRB away for power on Nvidia.
XDC will kill Ethereum! XDC is the REAL Ethereum Killer! 😎👍
Do we have to run a node ? Is there any other wallet options ? I don’t have a PC to run a node
Hummm a pyramid with the all seeing eye on top? Am i the only one noticing this lol??
good. lets see what 17.5 GH does
Great video Rabid as always. One question , after making node and have wallet address do i need the node running on background . Just asking because a ''node '' needs be running . Thanks
Awesome. Hoping to set up my node tonight. Be nice if I can catch some of those early solo blocks (mainnet). I won't be putting more than a couple cards on it.
We've doubled our airdrop to $10,000!
Now its at 12TH…lol
So dumb they don't have a normal wallet yet, main net is 2 days away.

Nice video Rabid, will wait for the wallet to get release, not in to node yet 🙂
I AM IRON FISH……
: colon. ; semi-colon 😉
Can you setup a wallet without running a node?
oc settings for every nvidia card or only 3070,3080?
When you said you have several wallets it kinda confused me because having a node wallet is the only available wallet at the moment isn't it? Do you have several nodes?
Nice one bz
was waiting for the wallet but daim. tempting
Where you get wallet?
I cant understand howe that fish works😂
Ironfish is my side chick!
