Review
CCMiner - is a program for mining FIRO (MTP) and other cryptocurrencies. The program works on Windows and Linux.
- The Firoorg ccminer version supports all major algorithms, including the latest ones like Firo, yescrypt.
- The verushash version supports mining Verus Coin on AMD.
- Version for xaya.
The software cannot mine: Monero, Zcash, Equihash, Bitcoin, Ethereum.
How to mine with CCMiner
Step 1 - Download the miner
Download or unzip the executable file to a folder of your choice. For XZC MTP (Firo), you can download it from this GitHub Release url. Make sure you select the correct file for your OS. If you have Windows, download the file ccminer_cuda11, if you have Linux, download the file ccminer_linux_cuda100 
Step 2 - Configure a batch file for Firo
WalletAddress must be changed to your address, which can be found in your ZCoin wallet or on your cryptocurrency exchange
Here is my .bat file using ccminer and 2Miners pool:
ccminer -a mtp -o stratum+tcp://xzc.2miners.com:8080 -u aMLjCeLBmBGEJP6dYtWEMdZZuPH4w6uFsK -p 0
pause
Step 3 - Launch CCMiner
Save your .bat file in the same folder where you extracted the mining software. Then double click on it to launch the miner. A cmd window will open showing you the mining status and after a few minutes you should see that your decisions have been made by the mining pool.

Config example for mtp zcoin
| STRATUM: | stratum+tcp://xzc.2miners.com |
| PORT: | 8080 |
| Username: | aMLjCeLBmBGEJP6dYtWEMdZZuPH4w6uFsK |
| Password: | 0 |
This is how the CCMiner batch file for Firo will look like on the 2miners pool:
To configure a batch file for MTP, we need to enter 4 commands one by one:
-
mtp- specify the algorithm -
xzc.2miners.com- we indicate the pool -
8080- specify the port of the pool -
aMLjCeLBmBGEJP6dYtWEMdZZuPH4w6uFsK- specify the wallet address.
This is how the finished CCMiner batch file will look like:
ccminer -a mtp -o stratum+tcp://xzc.2miners.com:8080 -u aMLjCeLBmBGEJP6dYtWEMdZZuPH4w6uFsK -p 0
pause
How to Mine with NiceHash
Here is a batch file for NiceHesh:
ccminer -a lyra2z -o stratum+tcp://lyra2z.eu-west.nicehash.com:3365 -u 3LZhp4g3m7YWqR4hAPrZsKWbyo7hRBmqvy -p 0
pause
Neoscrypt-Xaya (CHI Coin)
Version for xaya
bat file start commands:
ccminer-64bit -a neoscrypt-xaya -o stratum+tcp:// -u wallet_address.worker_name -p x .\sgminer -k neoscrypt-xaya -o stratum+tcp:// -u wallet_address.worker_name -p x -s 1 -w 256 -I 17v

Commands
--algo or a short synonym for this command -a - indicates the mining algorithm (for example: ‘mtp’, ‘lyra2Z’, ‘scrypt’, ‘myr-gr’)
Important! Use either a long synonym --algo or a short one -a. You do not need to use this and that together.
Mining Features MTP (FIRO)
mtp requires 4.4 GB of virtual memory, so cards with less than 4.5 GB of virtual memory will not work.
The program also uses about 500MB and 4.4xCard Swap amount.
The author of this article is still working on the ethash+vtc miner. Already added support for weird stratum implementations in some pools.
