Scala is a cryptocurrency that aims to provide the most decentralized experience. They have their seed node files on IPFS and zeronet, for secure decentralized storage of the seed nodes. They also are aiming to provide mining on all internet connected devices like phones, Televisions etc. The coin has 21 Billion max supply.

As for Scala’s features, they are a fork of Monero. Because of this, Scala has Monero’s privacy aspects to it called RingCT. The coin is based on the anti ASIC Panthera algorithm, but is changed to provide anti Nicehash as well.

Now that we know the details about Scala, let’s get to mining some XLA!

Scala (XLA) Mining Pool: https://scala.herominers.com

SRBminer-Multi v0.7.3+ (Windows, Linux, CPU)

Method 1: Run guided_setup.bat file and answer questions:

Configuration name: scala-herominers
Do you want to use multi algorithm mining? n or y (optional)
Enter algorithm 0 name: panthera
Address and port of mining pool: de.scala.herominers.com:1190
Wallet address: YOUR_SCALA_WALLET_ADDRESS
Password: YOUR_WORKER_NAME
Do you want to enable logging? n or y (optional)

Method 2: Create scala-herominers.bat file and copy / paste example below.

setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100	
setx GPU_MAX_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_MAX_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_ENABLE_LARGE_ALLOCATION 100
setx GPU_MAX_WORKGROUP_SIZE 1024
@echo off
cd %~dp0
cls
SRBMiner-MULTI.exe --algorithm panthera --pool de.scala.herominers.com:1190 --wallet YOUR_SCALA_WALLET_ADDRESS --password YOUR_WORKER_NAME
pause

XLArig v5.2.2+ (Windows, Linux, CPU)

Create scala-herominers.cmd file and copy / paste example below.

@echo off
xlarig.exe --donate-level 1 -o de.scala.herominers.com:1190 -u YOUR_SCALA_WALLET_ADDRESS -p YOUR_WORKER_NAME -a panthera -k
pause

XMRigCC v2.9.1+ (Windows, Linux, CPU)

Create scala-herominers.cmd file and copy / paste example below.

@echo off
xmrigDaemon.exe --donate-level 1 -o de.scala.herominers.com:1190 -u YOUR_SCALA_WALLET_ADDRESS -p YOUR_WORKER_NAME -a panthera -k
pause

Happy Mining.
