That&#8217;s why it is often easier to mine to a wallet address generated on a cryptocurrency exchange. For example <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hotbit.io\/register?ref=519422\">HotBit<\/a>. We also have a video guide on how to register there. Please remember to create a 2FA\u00a0authentication there, otherwise, the platform doesn&#8217;t work.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How to Register on Hotbit Exchange\" width=\"525\" height=\"295\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/a45wLcfEVQc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>If you still want to use a mobile or local Beam wallet please remember to keep it online. However, if the wallet is offline for some period of time &#8211; don&#8217;t worry. The pool tries to send your payout every 2 hours until it succeeds.<\/p>\n<p>Your Beam official wallet address could expire in 24 hours. If you create the address for mining purpose please set the Expiration value to: Never. If your address has been expired, usually, it is still possible to receive coins. Go to your address tab -&gt; My expired Addresses &gt; Choose the address and press the button with 3 dots &gt; Edit address &gt; Activate address &gt; Expired &#8211; Never.<\/p>\n<h2>New Gminer Mining Software<\/h2>\n<p>Gminer has been significantly improved in August. Especially the Beam algorithm hashrates have been increased for multiple GPU&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>Starting from <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/develsoftware\/GMinerRelease\/releases\/\">version\u00a01.60<\/a> Gminer also supports Equihash 125,4 (<a href=\"https:\/\/zel.2miners.com\/\">ZelCash<\/a>) mining for AMD GPU&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve updated Gminer in our Quick Start archive. Simply <a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/11R0L-QgOHnzZ5JfxidH2KPYj1PFEeqDY\/view?usp=sharing\">download the file<\/a> and unzip it.
