Introduction
Learn how to maximize your mining profits by dual mining Ethereum (ETH) and Toncoin (TON) using HiveOS. This guide covers setup, optimization, and earnings analysis for various GPU models including Nvidia 3060 Ti, 1660 Ti, and AMD 6600 XT.
What is TON?
TON (The Open Network) is a blockchain developed by Telegram's team, now managed by the TON Foundation. Its native token, Toncoin, offers miners an alternative revenue stream alongside ETH.
Step-by-Step HiveOS Configuration

FAQ Section
Q1: Is dual mining worth it after ETH 2.0?
A: Yes! TON mining provides a backup revenue stream as ETH shifts to PoS.
Q2: Which GPU is best for ETH+TON mining?
A: Nvidia 3060 Ti offers the best balance of hashrate and power efficiency.
Q3: How do I reduce power consumption?
A: Undervolt GPUs and set optimal power limits (see table above).
Conclusion
Dual mining ETH and TON can boost profitability by 15–20%. Use HiveOS for seamless management and follow our OC guidelines to optimize performance.
