INI Mining
How traditional InitVerse mining works
InitVerse (INI) is a proof-of-work chain that mines with VersaHash. This page lists two Pinecone Matches units: INIBOX (850 MH/s) and INIBOX Pro (2.4 GH/s).
This is a small, new ASIC market. Treat pool URLs, wallets, and firmware as vendor-specific: download them from the project or the pool, not from random mirrors.
InitVerse mining pools
Public VersaHash pools are limited. Confirm the pool is finding INI blocks before you commit hardware:
- Yates Pool: Public VersaHash pool used with INIBOX hardware. Confirm it is finding INI blocks before you commit.
InitVerse mining algorithm
VersaHash is InitVerse’s PoW function. It is not SHA-256, Ethash, or kHeavyHash. Only VersaHash ASICs (currently Pinecone INIBOX / INIBOX Pro) will hash this network.
Because the catalog is two SKUs, firmware and stratum compatibility are narrow. If a pool only documents one model, do not assume the other INIBOX variant uses the same port.

How to set up an InitVerse mining rig
-
1. Choose InitVerse mining hardware
Pinecone INIBOX or INIBOX Pro. There is no meaningful GPU path listed against these ASICs.
-
2. Set up an INI wallet
Use the wallet the project documents on its official site. Do not send INI to a random EVM address.
-
3. Configure the ASIC to the pool
Follow Yates Pool (or your chosen pool) for the exact stratum and worker format for your INIBOX model.
-
4. Be cautious with firmware
Only Pinecone or pool-linked firmware. Two-model markets attract fake “INI optimizer” images.
-
5. Start mining
Confirm INI shares on the pool. Recheck profitability often; small networks move fast.
Frequently asked questions
InitVerse is a PoW network mined with VersaHash ASICs. Use official project pages and your pool for wallets and stratum.
This page lists the Pinecone INIBOX 850 MH/s and INIBOX Pro 2.4 GH/s. If a third model appears, it will show here once we add it.
Not unless that unit explicitly supports VersaHash. KA, HS, and SHA-256 miners will not work.
Use the hashrate and power on the miner pages below, your kWh rate, and whether your pool is actually finding INI blocks. Small networks move fast.
