Getting Started
Do I need to register an account to mine?
No registration required! Just set up your miner using our guide and start mining. Once your miner sends its first share, you're automatically registered.
Mining & Hashrate
Why is my reported hashrate zero or different from what my miner shows?
The pool recalculates hashrates every 10 minutes, so changes aren't instant. Your miner shows your actual, real-time hardware performance, while the pool provides an estimate based on submitted shares. Trust what your miner displays — it's more accurate.
What is a SOLO mining pool?
A solo pool lets miners work independently. Only the miner who finds a block gets paid — everyone else gets zero. How fast you find a block depends entirely on your hashrate and luck.
Payments & Rewards
When will I get paid?
You won't see any balance until a block has been found and reaches mature status (may take a couple hours). Your share of the block reward is then credited to your pending balance. When your balance reaches the minimum payout amount, the pool automatically transfers your entire balance to your wallet. Payouts are processed every 10 minutes.
Why is my reward 0 after several hours of mining?
Our mining pools use a block-based reward system. You only receive a reward if you (or your pool) find a block. There are no rewards for shares or time spent mining.
Why are there fewer payouts than blocks found?
Payments go out automatically every 10 minutes. If multiple blocks are found and confirmed between payment cycles, you'll receive everything in a single payout.
Luck & Difficulty
What is luck?
Luck = Actual work ÷ Expected work.
• Below 100% = Lucky (more profit, less work)
• Above 100% = Unlucky (less profit, more work)
Why can luck be 300% or more?
Mining luck naturally fluctuates. Sometimes you get lucky and find blocks quickly (low luck %), other times it takes longer (high luck %). Over time, it averages out to around 100%.
Why does my luck percentage decrease?
Your luck is calculated as: work you did ÷ network difficulty. If network difficulty doubles, your luck % gets cut in half. If difficulty drops by half, your luck doubles. After each block, luck resets to 0%.
Technical Details
What does "Share Difficulty" mean and which port should I choose?
Port choice does NOT affect your chance of finding a block — it only affects your miner's workload and network traffic. Pick whatever port works best for your setup.
What is Best Share?
Best Share is the most difficult share your miner has sent since the last found block. The higher your Best Share, the closer you were to solving a block.
What is proxy software?
Some miners use proxy software that filters shares. If you use a proxy, the pool never sees most of your shares, so it cannot calculate your real hashrate or luck accurately.
