Frequently Asked Questions

What hardware is best for BCD mining?

BCD mining works well with modern GPUs. NVIDIA RTX 30-series and AMD RX 6000-series cards offer excellent performance.

How often are payouts distributed?

OKEx Pool typically processes payouts daily when reaching minimum threshold.

Why is my hashrate lower than expected?

Common causes include incorrect overclocking settings, driver issues, or thermal throttling. Check GPU temperatures and power limits.

Can I mine BCD with ASIC miners?

Currently, BCD is designed for GPU mining and doesn't have specialized ASIC hardware available.

How do I calculate mining profitability?

Use online calculators considering your hardware's hashrate, power consumption, and current BCD price.

What's the difference between BCD and Bitcoin?

BCD offers faster block times (2.5 minutes vs 10 minutes) and larger block size (8MB vs 1MB), with added privacy features.
