Mining Fennec
Fennec team made the following tutorial to explain how to mine on the official mining pool
Proof Of Work
Fennec uses the following process to generate a block:
The miner has to verify about approximately between 1MB to 4MB worth of transactions to be able to find a block. Then to find a block the miner has to solve a numeric problem called the "proof of work" (POW).
Fennec uses the algorithm "YescryptR16" to solve the POW numeric equation (block hash).

Mining with CPU
Different Architectures
Because there are several possible architectures for CPUs, the following tutorial proposes to use cpuminer-multi software from Tpruvot which can be used on AMD, Intel Core 2 and Intel Core i3 to i7.
1 • Download the cpuminer-opt software by JayDDee for Windows here and unzip the file.
More info about this software here
2 • If you are using an AMD architectures (AMD Zen1, Zen2, Zen3), edit the corresponding START-MINING-AMD.bat file - right click - "Edit"
• If you are using an Intel Core 2 architectures (Core2, Nehalem), edit the corresponding START-MINING-CORE-2.bat file - right click - "Edit"
• If you are using an Intel Core i3 to i9 architectures (Haswell, Skylake-X, Cascadelake, Rocketlake, Icelake, Tigerlake), edit the corresponding START-MINING-i7.bat file - right click - "Edit"
NOTE for miners with AMD CPUs Zen3 architecture, and for the latest generation of Intel CPUs, for a better efficiency, try the other cpuminer variants: avx2-sha-vaes etc... More information are available in the README.txt file
3 • Replace the text WALLETADDRESS by your actual wallet address, then save the file.
4 • Start the .bat file by double clicking on it.
A ms-dos window with your mining informations will open.
Your hashrate on the mining pool
Navigate to the wallet page of the mining pool. Type in your wallet address to the search bar and press enter or click on "Submit" button.
You will see your hashrate displayed on the wallet page.
Mining with Nvidia video cards
Different Architectures
There are two main categories of GPUs: AMD and Nvidia. The following tutorial will explain about how to mine with the Nvidia gpus with the miner software from Tpruvot called ccminer.
1 • Download the ccminer software for Windows here and unzip the file.
2 • Edit the ccminer.conf file - right click - "Edit"
3 • Replace the text WALLETADDRESS by your actual wallet address, then save the file.
4 • Start the ccminer-x64.exe file by double clicking on it. You shall see a ms-dos window showing your actual hashrate.
Your hashrate on the mining pool
Naviguate to the wallet page of the mining pool. Type in your wallet address to the search bar and press enter or click on "Submit" button.
You shall see your hashrate displayed on the wallet page.
Rent hardware miners
There are two main companies offering the possibility of renting miners: NiceHash and MiningRigRentals (MRR).
NiceHash is the ideal for high rent hashrate to a reduced price. While MiningRigRentals is great for renting minimal hashrate possible. Both are great with their respective specifications.
Make sure to rent the hardware for the YescryptR16 algorithm.
