Pirl<\/a> is one of our favorite Ethash coins. Unlike many others, Pirl developers didn\u2019t just copy Ethereum code, they\u2019ve created something new by introducing masternodes into the network.\"\"<\/p>\n

Pirl Masternodes<\/h2>\n

Masternode is a wallet with a blockchain duplicate, that holds a certain amount of coins and must be online 24\/7. Masternode maintains network operation approving blocks and transactions, while its owner gets rewarded for this.<\/p>\n

At the moment Pirl masternodes are in beta, but after the official launch, many would want to buy them, which means that the coin will rise in value.<\/p>\n

To create a masternode, you need 20,000 Pirl, static IP, and some Linux knowledge.<\/p>\n

Pirl: How Much can you Earn?<\/h2>\n

Since we expect the coin to rise in value, it is best to mine it on 2miners.com<\/a>, and then resell it at a higher price. In the next months, Pirl will probably appear on major exchanges, which will have a positive effect on its rate.<\/p>\n

If you mined HUSH with us, you probably know that it rose by 200% after the release of our publication.<\/p>\n

You can calculate your reward on the website called \u2018What to Mine<\/a>.\u2019 Insert your hashrate, click on \u2018Calculate\u2019 and you will see your estimated awards regarding the current exchange rate and mining difficulty.\"\"<\/p>\n

The rewards are similar to the ones you get from other Equihash coins, and sometimes the daily rewards you get from Pirl may be even higher than those from Ethereum.\"\"<\/p>\n

How To Create a Pirl Wallet<\/h2>\n

Method #1: Install wallet on PC<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On the Pirl official website<\/a> click \u2018Download Wallet\u2019 in the upper right corner and download the version for your OS. After installation, the program will download the full version of the Pirl blockchain to your PC. As of 01\/06\/2017, it takes up around 3.4 GB of space. This software will create an address for receiving coins as well.<\/p>\n

Method #2: Set up an online wallet<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you have no wish or possibility to store a blockchain duplicate on your PC, you can set up a wallet on wallet.pirl.io<\/a> that is identical to the famous MyEtherWallet. In this case, you could manage your wallet right from the browser.<\/p>\n

Method #3: Set up a wallet on an exchange<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The easiest way is to create a wallet on the Cryptopia<\/a> exchange. After registration go to the \u2018Deposit\u2019 page, search for Pirl, and get your address. Don\u2019t worry if you see the warning against using your Cryptopia address for mining; you\u2019ll get coins without problems regardless.<\/p>\n

Claymore Configuration<\/h2>\n

If you want to mine Pirl using graphics cards, I recommend Claymore\u2019s Dual Ethereum GPU Miner. It is regularly updated and supported by most pools with Ethash coins. The developer fee is 1%.<\/p>\n
