What hardware do I need to mine Koto (KOTO)?

Koto uses yescryptR8G for mining. CPU-friendly — Raspberry Pi class devices and desktops can participate.

Where can I pool-mine KOTO?

The isekai KOTO pool at koto.isekai-pool.com offers stratum on ports 3301–3303 with a 1% fee and no registration. An alternative community pool is koto.mofumofu.me.

Is the isekai-pool.com RPC node free to use?

Yes for API status and optional solo-style mining against RPC when you have credentials from the operator — see Node Status.

How do I solo mine KOTO via RPC?

Use minerd from KotoDevelopers cpuminer-yescrypt, not cpuminer-opt. Point your KOTO address and RPC credentials at the node URL.

Where is the block explorer?

The working KOTO block explorer is at explorer.isekai-pool.com (linked under Coin info and Links on this page).

Pooled mining

Mine KOTO at our public pool — no registration, 1% fee, direct payouts. Username format: YOUR_KOTO_ADDRESS.worker_name.

stratum+tcp://koto.isekai-pool.com:3301 — low diff (RPi, mobile)
stratum+tcp://koto.isekai-pool.com:3302 — mid diff (desktop)
stratum+tcp://koto.isekai-pool.com:3303 — high diff (multi-core)

Important: Use the official KotoDevelopers miner (minerd from cpuminer-yescrypt). cpuminer-opt does not work correctly for KOTO (shares rejected).

FAQ

Pool vs solo?

For regular payouts, use stratum at koto.isekai-pool.com with minerd (cpuminer-yescrypt). Solo RPC uses the same minerd binary against http://…:8432 with your credentials. Optional alternative: koto.mofumofu.me.

Which miner?

minerd from KotoDevelopers/cpuminer-yescrypt. Do not use cpuminer-opt for KOTO — shares are rejected. Stratum usually needs no -a flag; run ./minerd --help if unsure.
