What is ZIL?
ZIL is a native token for the Zilliqa blockchain built to enable and scale decentralized apps, from financial services to NFT marketplaces.
About Dual Mining of ZIL
With the addition of ZIL, when mining ETC, ETC+ZIL, the mining process is not like what people usually understand as "dual mining" or even "triple mining". Unlike other coins that are share-based, ZIL mining is round-based.
This also means that most of the time the miner only needs to mine ETC and switches to mine ZIL about every 15 hours. When the graphics card switches to ZIL mining for about 1-2 minutes, it will switch to ETC mining again.
Operation Steps
Step 1: Create a Wallet.
Choose a wallet that supports your security and needs.

c. Fill in the Mining Pool Information(Take “Ezil” as an example).
d. The combination of dual mining can be set according to personal preferences.(Take ETC+ZIL dual mining as an example).
ETC+ZIL dual mining pool address:
stratum+tcp//asia.ezil.me:4444
stratum+ssl//asia.ezil.me:24443
"Miner" should be filled in "ETC wallet address. ZIL wallet address. Miner name".
