FAQ

¿Necesito registrarme en algún lugar para empezar a minar?

No se requiere registro. Simplemente configure su minero según nuestras instrucciones y comience a minar. Su primera acción enviada lo registra automáticamente en nuestro pool. ¡Buena suerte!

¿Por qué mi hashrate reportado es cero o diferente al que reporta mi minero?

Los hashrates del pool y del minero se recalculan cada diez minutos. Por lo tanto, dependiendo de cuándo se envíe su primera acción válida, puede tomar hasta diez minutos para que su hashrate se actualice. El hashrate que mostramos en el pool es una aproximación de su hashrate basada en las acciones que envía, por lo que puede diferir significativamente del hashrate mostrado localmente. En caso de duda, siempre considere el valor mostrado por su minero como el correcto.

¿Cómo me pagan?

Todos nuestros pools que no son solo usan el sistema de pago PPLNS. PPLNS significa "Pago Por Últimas N Acciones". La siguiente imagen ilustra el sistema. Una ronda tiene un número arbitrario de acciones basado puramente en la suerte. Los sistemas de recompensa proporcional solo consideran las acciones de una ronda al calcular las recompensas. PPLNS, sin embargo, usa un número bastante constante N de acciones para calcular las recompensas.

       Suponiendo que se encontraron bloques, los pagos se procesan y envían cada hora. Este proceso es completamente automatizado.

Why do I have to wait for payments?

Waiting for payments in crypto mining is influenced by the concept of block maturity and confirmations. Here's how it works:

  • Block Confirmation: When a miner successfully mines a block, it needs to be confirmed by the network. Confirmation involves other nodes verifying the validity of the block and its transactions. This process ensures the security and integrity of the blockchain.
  • Confirmations: Each time a block is added to the blockchain, it receives a certain number of confirmations. A confirmation is essentially an agreement by the network that the block is valid. The higher the number of confirmations, the more secure the block is considered.
  • Block Maturity: Newly mined blocks may not be immediately spendable or eligible for rewards. They need to mature by accumulating a certain number of confirmations. This waiting period, known as block maturity, varies depending on the cryptocurrency. For instance, a block might need 100 confirmations before it is considered mature and spendable.
  • Security and Prevention of Double-Spending: Waiting for confirmations and block maturity enhances security by preventing double-spending. Double-spending occurs when the same cryptocurrency is spent in two conflicting transactions. Confirmations and block maturity ensure that the network reaches a consensus on the validity of transactions.
  • Mining Pool Payouts: In mining pools, payouts are subject to the maturity of the blocks mined. This delay allows the network to confirm the legitimacy of the transactions and ensures that the rewards are distributed securely.

    • How do PPLNSBF pools work?

    PPLNSBF pool works exactly the same as PPLNS pool with one notable exception:

  • On PPLNSBF pools, 5% of the pool reward goes to the block finder, rest of the block reward is paid like on a normal PPLNS pool.
  • On PPLNSBF70 pools, 70% of the pool reward goes to the block finder, rest of the block reward is paid like on a normal PPLNS pool.

    • ¿Cuándo me pagan?

    No verá ningún saldo en su cuenta hasta que el pool encuentre un bloque y después de que el bloque haya alcanzado un estado maduro. Esto puede tomar varias horas dependiendo de la moneda. Una vez que un bloque puede considerarse maduro por el pool, sus acciones se usarán para calcular su contribución para encontrar el bloque. Cuanto más haya contribuido, mayor será su parte de la recompensa del bloque.

    Minería Solo

    En la minería solo, todos los mineros compiten entre sí por el bloque actual. El minero que envía la acción con una dificultad que representa el bloque recibe la recompensa completa del bloque menos la tarifa insignificante del pool.

    What is Your Jackpot string/What is Jackpot?

    Your Jackpot string is a unique code automatically generated for you when you join a mining pool. Here's a simple explanation of how it works: Each address on each pool get their own unique Jackpot string when they join. This string is used to see if it matches any part of a block hash. If it does, congratulations you win the jackpot! For active miners, the string will be shortened automatically every few hours until a winner is found. When someone in the pool wins the jackpot, all Jackpot strings are reset to new ones, and the process starts over.

    How does Finder Reward work on PPLNS pools?

    Finder Rewards on PPLNSBF pools are designed to incentivize miners based on the number of participants. Here's how it operates:

  • Finders reward is based on the BF payment system, 5%, 30% or 70% depending on the pool.


    • Please note that Finder Rewards are exclusive to our PPLNSBF (Pay-Per-Last-N-Shares) pools. This system ensures that miners are rewarded based on their contributions, with bonuses added to their rewards for multiple participants in the pool.

    How can I use promotion codes when mining?

    To use promotion codes when mining, you can add them to your mining command. Here's how:

  • If you're using a standard mining command, add the promotion code to your password parameter like this: -p promotioncode
  • If you're using a static difficulty setting, you can include the promotion code along with the difficulty level like this: -p d=diff,promotion


    • Adding the promotion code in this way ensures that you receive any associated benefits or rewards. Happy mining!

    How do I set static difficulty when mining?

    You can set static difficulty by including it in your mining password. For example, if you want to set the static difficulty to 500,000 (assuming this is supported by your mining software and pool), you can use the following format: -p d=500000
    The -p flag is commonly used to specify the password in mining software. By adding d=500000 to the password, you are indicating a static difficulty of 500,000. Please note that the exact syntax may vary depending on your mining software, so be sure to check your software's documentation for specific instructions.

    What is merged mining and how do I set it up?

    Merged mining (also called Auxiliary Proof-of-Work or AuxPoW) allows you to mine multiple cryptocurrencies simultaneously without requiring additional computational power. You can earn rewards from both the primary coin and any supported merged coins.

    How to configure merged mining:

    To participate in merged mining, you need to specify your wallet addresses for each merged coin in the password field of your mining software. The format is: -p coinsymbol=walletaddress

    You can specify multiple merged coins by separating them with a comma (,) or semicolon (;).

    Example: If you want to set a static difficulty of 500000 and also receive merged mining rewards for DOGE, PEP, and BONC coins: -p d=500000,DOGE=DFp6najFV8v16HUyzjtjjcjcq2bjgNT5tG,PEP=PtgkzKwMnd91jdX2Dnia9DiK3kSGmW5163,BONC=BHLzG4NwyYqsrWfmJW4sgqganBHJ4tV99x

    Notes:

  • Check the pool page to see which coins support merged mining
  • If you don't specify a wallet for a merged coin, you won't receive rewards for that coin
  • Make sure to use valid wallet addresses for each coin you want to receive payments for

    • What is mining difficulty in cryptocurrency mining?

    Mining difficulty is a crucial concept in cryptocurrency mining. It represents the level of complexity or hardness of solving a cryptographic puzzle required to add a new block of transactions to the blockchain. Here are some key points to understand:

  • Dynamic Adjustment: Mining difficulty is not fixed; it adjusts regularly, typically every few blocks. The network self-regulates to maintain a consistent block generation time, often around 10 minutes for Bitcoin and similar cryptocurrencies.
  • Purpose: The primary purpose of difficulty adjustments is to ensure that new blocks are added to the blockchain at a predictable rate. If mining power increases, the difficulty increases to make mining more challenging. If mining power decreases, the difficulty decreases to encourage participation and maintain the target block time.
  • Mining Competition: As more miners join a network, the mining difficulty rises. This ensures that blocks are not generated too quickly, maintaining the security and integrity of the blockchain.
  • Difficulty Target: Miners must find a hash (a specific numeric value) that meets the network's difficulty target. This target is determined by the current difficulty level and the desired block time.
  • Proof of Work (PoW): Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin use Proof of Work consensus algorithms, where miners compete to find a valid hash that meets the difficulty criteria. The first miner to find such a hash gets to add the next block to the blockchain and is rewarded with cryptocurrency.
  • Impact on Rewards: Mining difficulty affects miners' chances of successfully mining a block. Higher difficulty means it's more challenging to find a valid block, which may lead to longer time intervals between rewards.


    • Understanding mining difficulty is essential for miners and helps maintain the security and stability of blockchain networks.
