Registration is not required. Just configure your miner according to our instructions and start mining. Your first submitted share will automatically register you with our pool. Good Luck!

Pool and miner hashrates are re-calculated every ten minutes. Therefore it can take a maximum of ten minutes for your hashrate to update depending on the submission time of your first valid share.

The hashrate we display at the pool is a rough approximation of your hashrate based on your submitted shares and can therefore differ significantly from the hashrate displayed locally.

When in doubt always consider the value displayed by your miner as the correct one.

We have 2 different types of payout systems for all of our pools.

1. SOLO payout system

SOLO mining is a type of cryptocurrency mining while using your own hardware, but without any help from other miners.

If you find the solution for a block you get the block reward, if you don't you get nothing. 'The winner takes it all' as the ABBA song says.

2. PPLNS payout system

PPLNS stands for Pay-Per-Last-N-Shares and is more complicated and difficult to implement than Proportional (PROP) but it solves some of its main problems.

The payments of PPLNS are based on rounds just like in Proportional. However, PPLNS does not consider the boundaries of the start of the round or previous rounds when selecting which shares will be considered.

PPLNS works by selecting shares backwards starting from when a block is found and ending after shares add up to an amount called N, or the PPLNS 'window'.

Typically, the network difficulty determines this N amount. Each miner is rewarded proportionally from the shares that are selected by the PPLNS window.

For example, if a miner's shares account for 50% of the shares in the PPLNS window, then the miner will receive 50% of the block reward.

You won't see any balance in your account until a block has been found by the pool and after the block has reached a mature status. This may take a couple of hours, depending on the coin.

As soon as a block can be considered 'mature' by the pool, your shares will be used to calculate your contribution towards finding the block. The more you've contributed, the higher your cut of the block reward will be.

We are a small pool for the time being, and as such it may take some time to find a block. On larger pools you would see some balance earlier because they will find blocks faster,

but you will get a smaller share of the reward than what you would in a smaller pool. Over time you will earn more or less the same amount when mining on a large pool or on a small one.
