BSTY uses the Yescrypt proof-of-work algorithm. This guide walks you from wallet setup to a working miner, with current pool directories, miner downloads and copy/paste examples.
Pool availability changes. Verify that BSTY/Yescrypt is active on the pool before running your miner. Never mine directly to an exchange deposit address; use a wallet you control.
Install the GlobalBoost wallet, let it synchronize, then create a receiving address. This address is where pool payouts will be sent.
For most miners, a pool is easier than solo mining because many CPUs combine work and payouts are distributed according to the pool's rules.

Get the current stratum address and port directly from your chosen pool. Then replace the placeholders below.

Start conservatively and tune.start-bsty.bat, or make the Linux command executable/run it from the terminal.Start with fewer threads, verify temperatures, then increase gradually. Leaving one or two logical CPU threads free can keep the computer responsive.
Use your motherboard/CPU vendor utility or a trusted hardware monitor and watch package temperature during sustained mining.
Use htop, top and your platform's sensor tools to watch CPU utilization and thermals.
Recheck the pool host, port, protocol, firewall and whether the pool still lists BSTY/Yescrypt.
Verify -a yescrypt, worker syntax, pool difficulty requirements and that your system clock/network are stable.
Try the CPU-specific cpuminer-opt binary that matches your processor, reduce background load, and compare thread counts.
Check the pool's minimum payout, payment schedule and the wallet address shown in your miner command.
Always confirm current pool details before connecting because mining endpoints, ports and payout rules can change.
