Kiiro is designed to be mined only by GPUs.
The FiroPoW mining algorithm is a modified version of ProgPoW 0.9.4 and it os is designed to utilize all parts of a GPU and includes a random sequence that changes every block to add further ASIC and FPGA resistance.
We believe in the importance of fair distribution in KIIRO and remain committed to having it mineable using commodity hardware like GPUs.
Before you begin, make sure you have a Kiirocoin (KIIRO) address where you want your mining payouts to go to. To get one, download a Kirocoin wallet and sync it with the network.
The guide is meant for Windows users though Linux users can easily adapt it.
Step 1: Getting your Miners
- Nvidia GPU: T-Rex Miner (closed source, 1% fee)
- AMD GPU: Team Red Miner (closed source, 2% fee)
- AMD GPU: SRBMiner-Multi (closed source, 0.85% fee)
Warning: Miners are listed here for convenience. Non-official miners have not been vetted. Use at your own risk. All fees are to the developers of the miners.
Extract the exe binary into a folder of your choice.
Step 2: Registering with a Pool
There are several pools running Kiiro on FiroPoW. Please try to spread the hashrate around so that no pool has more than 50% of the total hashrate for decentralization reasons! Note that pure 51% attacks are not possible on Kiiro blockchain due to Chainlocks technology which require both to compromise or take down the masternode network and have the necessary hashrate. You can view the current hashrate distribution here.

For detailed stratum information, please visit the pool’s own site.
Most of the pools listed here do not require registration, only a valid Kiiro address as username and worker details. Ensure that you also get the pool’s address and port.
Step 3: Configuring your Miner
Open your favourite text editor, cut and paste the following line corresponding to your selected pool and miner and edit it accordingly.
For Pool Mining
T-Rex Miner (Nvidia):
t-rex.exe -a firopow -o stratum+tcp://POOLADDRESS:PORT -u username.worker -p password
Team Red Miner (AMD):
teamredminer.exe -a firopow -o stratum+tcp://POOLADDRESS:PORT -u username.worker -p password
SRBMiner-Multi (AMD):
SRBMiner-MULTI.exe --disable-cpu --algorithm firopow --pool POOLADDRESS:PORT --wallet username.worker
After pasting it in, save the file as a .bat file (for e.g. miner.bat) in the same folder where you had extracted the miner binary earlier.
For Solo Mining
T-Rex Miner (Nvidia):
t-rex.exe -a firopow -o stratum+tcp://POOLADDRESS:PORT -u username.worker -p password m=solo
Team Red Miner (AMD):
teamredminer.exe -a firopow -o stratum+tcp://POOLADDRESS:PORT -u username.worker -p password m=solo
SRBMiner-Multi (AMD):
SRBMiner-MULTI.exe --disable-cpu --algorithm firopow --pool POOLADDRESS:PORT --wallet username.worker --password password m=solo
Step 4: Running the Miner
Once you are done, run the bat file you created. You should see a window similar to this which will differ depending on the miner you are using. For solo mining, your Kiiro wallet needs to be synced.
If you’re seeing your shares as accepted, you should be good to go. It may take a few minutes for the correct speed to be reflected on the pool’s website and your miner.
Happy mining!
