# Quick Start

## Configure your mining device

_Individual hardware manufacturers may have specific settings requirements and different settings interfaces. Please follow their official documentation when setting up your miners. This also applies to cloud mining services._

The mining configuration needed for your miner should look like this:

| Parameter   | Value                                   |
| ----------- | --------------------------------------- |
| Primary URL | stratum+tcp\://stratum.braiins.com:3333 |
| Backup URL  | stratum+tcp\://stratum.braiins.com:443  |
| User ID     | userName.workerName                     |
| Password    | anything (or empty)                     |

Remember to configure the credentials for each device. The `User ID` is mandatory and is used to pair the device with your account. Password is not used, it can be anything. User ID consists of `userName` (same as your Braiins Pool account name) and `workerName` (any device identifier). If `workerName` is empty, `[auto]` worker is created for you. We recommend connecting each mining device with a separate workerName for efficient monitoring.

**Only one URL is now used by our Pool.** Braiins Pool servers are located all around the world and automatically selected based on your location. For best efficiency we advise stop using location-specific URLs used in the past (e.g. Europe, USA, Canada, Brazil, Singapore, Russia, etc.).

_Note: Set old slushpool.com address (stratum.slushpool.com) if you're using Braiins OS version older than 22.08.1 for successful application of 0% mining fee on Braiins Pool._
