mining of sh256 coins
I have previously reviewed the steps for configuring the Antminer S9.

You need to register an account with a pool and add a worker.

The stratum information is what you need to put into the Antminer S9 configuration.

You need to know the IP address of your S9 on the network. If you do not know it, use Advanced IP Scanner (or similar, I do not know if you are running Windows?) and find it.

Open http://x.x.x.x/ (IP of your S9) in your web browser and login. In the Miner Configuration tab, enter your stratum information there.

URL: stratum+tcp://mine1.mpool.me:{PORT} - you have choices for PORT 4012/4112
Worker: {your worker name} - you should have configured this in the pool where it may be called Worker Username.
Password: {your worker password}


Save &amp; Apply.

Your miner will  not start until it registers.
