How to mine Astrix

December 18th, 2024 by John Q. Public

In this post I focus on the Astrix blockchain and share tips for those who want to mine it.



About the Astrix blockchain

Astrix’s source code is forked from KASPA, with the primary difference being the hashing algorithm. Astrix uses the Astrixhash algorithm. The Astrix roadmap also includes smart contracts and integration with other blockchains. The native token is AIX, which is already supported by many exchanges.

Emission schedule

The monetary policy of Astrix closely resembles the Kaspa model.
There are two phases:
  • Pre-deflationary phase: During the first six months, the block reward is 50 AIX, with one block created per second.
  • Deflationary phase (current): Each month, the reward decreases by a factor of (1/1.4)^(1/12), based on an initial block reward of 44 AIX.
Visit the Astrix tokenomics page for more information.

Mining Astrix


Astrix is using a Astrixhash algorithm.


Astrix Wallet

If you do not have an Astrix Wallet, you should obtain one. The easiest way is to create a web wallet at wallet.astrix-network.com
Mobile wallet app is not yet available.


Mining hardware

Astrix works best for GPU mining.


Many mining applications supports Astrixhash. Here are some of them.

Once you start mining, you can setup your custom difficulty for each worker using NushyBot

To start mining

1. Download the and unpack the miner

If your Windows suggest that the miners are "potentially unwanted" software, you may need to select "Allow on device" option in Windows Security settings.

2. Test the connection with the pool

Find the nearest server to your geographical area, and ping it. If the ping is done for less than 100ms, you can consider this server for mining.

$ ping nushypool.com
3. Run the miner

Run the miner. The command line depends from you miner, and your OS. For example to start mining with NBMiner, the run command is:

$ ./SRBMiner-MULTI --disable-cpu --enable-gpu --algorithm astrixhash --pool stratum+tcp://nushypool.com:40014 --wallet [address].[workername]

You can quickly configure your command in our AIX Pool Page and tap "Start Mining" button.

Good luck!
