Intel Arc Pearl / PRL Mining with ARC-Miner

Published: June 2026 · Category: Hardware · Intel Arc / ARC-Miner setup

ARC-Miner for Intel Arc Pearl / PRL Mining

Intel Arc support for Pearl / PRL mining is emerging. The public ARC-Miner release for Intel Arc mentions Intel Alchemist GPU support, improved pool compatibility and lower VRAM usage. This makes Intel Arc testing interesting for Pearl miners, especially for cards such as B580 and A750.

Compatibility still depends on the miner release, Intel drivers, Windows setup and your specific GPU. Treat Intel Arc mining as experimental until more community results are available.

Copy ARC-Miner Download Link

Download ARC-Miner from the GitHub release page:

https://github.com/jbman2025/ARC-miner/releases/tag/ARC-Miner-Release

Open ARC-Miner Release

Copy PearlPool.cloud Settings for ARC-Miner

The ARC-Miner release says to edit A1start.bat or A1start-POOLNAME.bat with your wallet and worker name. Use these PearlPool.cloud values:

Pool / Stratum	`stratum+tcp://pearlpool.cloud:5566`
Host	`pearlpool.cloud`
Port	`5566`
Wallet / User	`YOUR_PRL_WALLET.arc01`
Password	`x`

Copy these into the ARC-Miner start file:

POOL=stratum+tcp://pearlpool.cloud:5566
WALLET=YOUR_PRL_WALLET
WORKER=arc01
USER=YOUR_PRL_WALLET.arc01
PASSWORD=x

Quick Start on Windows

Download ARC-Miner from the GitHub release page.
Extract the release zip.
Open A1start.bat or A1start-POOLNAME.bat.
Replace the wallet value with your own Pearl / PRL wallet address.
Set the worker name, for example arc01, a750 or b580.
Use PearlPool.cloud as the pool endpoint.
Start the batch file and watch for new jobs, accepted shares and rejected shares.

notepad A1start.bat

If your release contains a pool-specific batch file, edit A1start-POOLNAME.bat instead.

ARC-Miner Release Notes to Watch

The ARC-Miner release notes mention Intel Alchemist GPU support, improved pool compatibility, reduced VRAM usage from around 8.7 GB to 5.8 GB and faster startup for AlphaPool. The release also mentions expected hashrate examples for B580 and A750. These values are early community release notes, not guaranteed PearlPool.cloud results.

Intel Arc A-series and B-series testing is useful.
B580 and A750 results are especially helpful because the release mentions them directly.
Cards with at least 8 GB VRAM are more likely to be compatible.
Use current Intel Arc GPU drivers.
Windows 10 or Windows 11 64-bit is the safest test environment for this release.

What Testers Should Report

GPU model, for example Arc A750, A770, B580.
VRAM size.
Intel driver version.
Windows version.
ARC-Miner release tag.
Reported hashrate.
Accepted and rejected shares after at least 15–30 minutes.
Any startup, driver or pool connection errors.

Accepted Shares, Candidate Submissions and Blocks

When testing Intel Arc mining, do not confuse accepted shares with confirmed blocks. Accepted shares show that the miner contributes valid pool work. Candidate submissions are gateway-submitted proofs or block candidates. Confirmed blocks are real network blocks and are shown separately on PearlPool.cloud.

Candidate Submissions = submitted gateway proofs/candidates, not confirmed pool blocks.
