Mining pools are a way for miners to pool their resources together and share their hashing power while splitting the reward equally according to the amount of shares they contributed to solving a block. A mining pool is a group of miners that cooperate in finding blocks. However, instead of sharing the block rewards equally among all miners in the pool, the rewards are shared in proportion to each miner's contributed hashrate (or number of shares). This is why miners often join mining pools, to increase their chances of finding blocks and receiving rewards. Ethereum Classic (ETC) is a fork of Ethereum (ETH) that occurred in 2016. The hard fork was a response to the DAO hack, in which $50 million worth of ETH was stolen. ETC is mined in the same way as ETH, but it is not as widely mined because it has a smaller market cap and is not as popular as ETH. However, there are still a few mining pools that allow miners to mine ETC. Some of these pools are: Poolin CoinMine Sparkpool Nanopool 2Miners F2Pool Choose a pool that is right for you, based on factors such as location, fees, minimum payout, etc. Once you have chosen a pool, you will need to set up your mining software to point to the URL of the pool. Most mining pools require you to create an account and login. Then, you will need to configure your miner to use your login credentials for the pool. After you have configured your miner, you will be able to start mining ETC!
