VERUS · VERUSHASH 2.2

Mining Verus on ARM

1 · Should you mine this on a CPU?

Yes — this is the CPU coin for phones and SBCs. VerusHash was designed to favor CPUs, and this miner's ARM path is faster per-watt than desktop-class x86 miners for it. Realistic expectation: a modern 8-core phone does 5–7 MH/s. Small amounts of VRSC accumulate steadily; treat it as a hobby that pays for its electricity on efficient hardware, not more.

2 · Get a wallet

Install Verus Desktop or Verus Mobile from verus.io and create a wallet — your receive address starts with R. An exchange deposit address also works to start, but move to your own wallet once you're set up.

3 · Pick a pool

Worked example throughout this page: stratum+tcp://pool.verus.io:9998. The username is your wallet address plus .workername — the worker name is anything you like, it just labels the device on the pool's stats page. Password is x.

4 · Configure the miner

CLI

command

$ ./primo -a verus -o stratum+tcp://pool.verus.io:9998 \
      -u YOUR_VERUS_ADDRESS.worker1 -p x

config.json

config.json — run with ./primo -c config.json

{
  "algo": "verus",
  "url":  "stratum+tcp://pool.verus.io:9998",
  "user": "YOUR_VERUS_ADDRESS.worker1",
  "pass": "x"
}

APK

Configuration → Algorithm → verus. Threads defaults to your core count.
Primary pool: URL stratum+tcp://pool.verus.io:9998, wallet/user = your R-address + .workername, password x.
SAVE, then START MINING. The dashboard shows accepted shares within a minute.

5 · What to expect

Hardware	Hashrate
Phone big core (1 thread)	~1–1.4 MH/s
Phone LITTLE core (1 thread)	~0.5 MH/s
Modern phone, 8 threads	5–7 MH/s
RK3588 board, 8 threads	~7.5 MH/s

6 · Verus-specific notes

The dev fee on Verus is 2% (60 s per 50 min) — higher than the other algorithms because the ARM VerusHash path is the project's main original work. It logs itself in the console.
VerusHash loves the big cores; LITTLE cores contribute roughly a third as much each. The miner pins and balances this automatically.
Sustained mining on a phone settles lower than the first minute's burst — cooling is the difference between 5 and 7 MH/s.
Pool payouts arrive automatically once you pass the pool's minimum; check your address on the pool's web stats.
