How to Mine BEAM Coin: Proof-of-Work Architecture & GPU Setup

1. Understanding the BeamHash III Algorithm

Unlike standard Equihash implementations that can be monopolized by specialized ASIC hardware, BeamHash III incorporates custom memory-latency bottlenecks and dynamic matrix transformations. The algorithm requires intensive memory bandwidth while enforcing strict mathematical proof verification times. This ensures that consumer-grade GPUs (such as the Nvidia RTX 3000/4000 series and AMD RX 6000/7000 series) remain competitive and maintain network decentralization.

2. Generating a Persistent Mining Address

Because BEAM utilizes confidential Mimblewimble addresses, standard transactions expire after 12 to 24 hours if the recipient node is not online. For mining pool payouts, you must create a Never-Expiring Offline Address:

1. Open the official Beam Desktop Wallet.
2. Navigate to the Receive tab.
3. Set the expiration dropdown to Never.
4. Copy the generated 64-character public mining token.

3. Mining Software Configuration (lolMiner & Gminer)

Download the latest release of lolMiner or Gminer. Create a batch file (mine_beam.bat on Windows or mine_beam.sh on Linux) with the following production stratum arguments:

For Nvidia rigs utilizing Gminer:

4. GPU Clocks, Power Limits & Overclock Optimization

BeamHash III is a hybrid algorithm that benefits from both core clock frequency and memory throughput. For maximum hash-rate per watt (efficiency):

• Nvidia RTX 3070 / 4070: Core Clock: +150 MHz, Memory Clock: +600 MHz, Power Limit: 65% (Yields approx. 28-32 Sol/s @ 120W).
• AMD RX 6700 XT: Core Clock: 2300 MHz, Memory Clock: 2150 MHz, Voltage: 900mV (Yields approx. 24-27 Sol/s @ 110W).
