[ChainTerra](https://www.chainterra.com/) has developed the next generation mining node (Chain Pool). We are utilizing advanced mathematical concepts that allow users to mine at up to 300% higher efficiency. The node is currently open to the public and available for users to join.

### How To Join Chain Pool
STEP 1: The first step is downloading CPU miner and compiling it. For sake of simplicity, we advise that you to just download the already compiled binaries here. If you don’t want to use CPU Miner, other programs have similar configurations when running on stratum.

STEP 2: Have Bitcoin Core or the daemon for the coin you are mining open.

STEP 3: Once you download the binaries, you are ready to run. For Windows, run on bash:
```
 ./minerd --url=http://chain-pool:9332 --userpass=my.worker:password
```
The worker’s name is usually the wallet address. The port number 9332 is where P2Pool for Bitcoin is running on Chain-Pool and optionally you can use 7903 for Dash or the other port numbers available for the coins you want to mine.

Optionally for DASH, it is easier to download CPUMiner multi for Windows and edit the RUN-TimeTravel.bat file to have the following command:
```
-a x11 -o stratum+tcp://chain-pool.com:7903 -u XqHt831rFj5tr4PVjqEcJmh6VKvHP62QiM -p
```
Replace XqHt831rFj5tr4PVjqEcJmh6VKvHP62QiM with your DASH wallet receiving address and you are ready to mine on Dash’s network.

STEP 4: Run the .Bat file to mine DASH or use CPUMiner with the ./minerd command to run on stratum and start mining on your selected network.
