Unlike other ANTMINERs, E3 has a more special way of connecting to Antpool.
1. Know the ETH server addresses of Antpool
For ETH, see below:
- stratum-eth.antpool.com:8008
- stratum-eth.antpool.com:443
- stratum-eth.antpool.com:25
Check out the below link to see other coins' addresses:
2. Apply for an ETH wallet address
Before connecting to the pool, you will need to apply for a wallet address for ETH coins. Your ETH wallet address will be a string of random numbers and characters, i.e, 0x54b2a793dea260599ea867d5dcc103d696f93157
The wallet you have applied and created must be valid and available to receive ETH, otherwise you will lose your proceeds and earnings.
3. Select your mining mode
There are two modes to mine ETH in AntPool:
The mining modes have different miner configurations and different ways of checking hash rate, payment and earning history in Antpool.
For mining with sub-account
First, create Antpool sub-account by referring the instructions in Antpool support:
Then, set up your E3 as per normal.
- How to set up my E3 >
Log in to your miner web interface (user and password are both "root"). When you are at the "Miner Configuration" page,
Fill in the fields as stated below:
URL > Antpool URLs as mentioned above >
User > 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000
A total of 42 characters, it must be changed otherwise your miner will not be recognized by the pool.
Password > your Antpool sub-account/worker name.
Then click “Save&Apply” to connect to the mining pools.
For anonymous mining with wallet address
First, set up your E3 as per normal.
- How to set up my E3 >
Log in to your miner web interface (user and password are both "root"). When you are at the "Miner Configuration" page,
Fill in the fields as stated below:
URL > Antpool URLs as mentioned above >
User > your ETH wallet address
Password > default, there is no need to change the password.
Then click “Save&Apply” to connect to the mining pools.
The configure is now complete and your miner is successfully connected to Antpool. It will take about 5 to 30 minutes to get the mining started.

i cannot setup!!
It doesnt work.
"fill in worker sub-account.worker ID name, for example antminer.1" does not work. It causes "error" to display in local miner status, and shows no activity in antpool dashboard. I sent a note to support, and they just keep sending me a link to these instructions.
it seems to have issues with connecting to ant pool. my machine locally says it is hashing but antpool has it listed as "inactive".
many reboots now.
i'm thinking f2, or dwarfpool may work better.
bu hao!
I'm also having issues connecting to Antpool and remaining connected and hashing. Will show active after 10 minutes, then minutes later becomes inactive, but physical miner is still showing active and hashing. The Anonymous configuration seems to work, but my payouts are stuck in a status "paying". I only have one transaction showing as "paid". Something is off about these E3 machines. They seem buggy like the horrible D3 machines.
