FAQ

Preciso me registrar em algum lugar para começar a minerar?

Não é necessário registro. Simplesmente configure seu minerador de acordo com nossas instruções e comece a minerar. Sua primeira ação enviada o registra automaticamente em nosso pool. Boa sorte!

Por que meu hashrate reportado é zero ou diferente do que meu minerador reporta?

Os hashrates do pool e do minerador são recalculados a cada dez minutos. Portanto, dependendo de quando sua primeira ação válida for enviada, pode levar até dez minutos para seu hashrate ser atualizado. O hashrate que mostramos no pool é uma aproximação do seu hashrate baseado nas ações que você envia, então pode diferir significativamente do hashrate mostrado localmente. Em caso de dúvida, sempre considere o valor mostrado pelo seu minerador como o correto.

Como sou pago?

Todos os nossos pools que não são solo usam o sistema de pagamento PPLNS. PPLNS significa "Pagamento Por Últimas N Ações". A imagem a seguir ilustra o sistema. Uma rodada tem um número arbitrário de ações baseado puramente na sorte. Sistemas de recompensa proporcional consideram apenas as ações de uma rodada ao calcular as recompensas. PPLNS, no entanto, usa um número bastante constante N de ações para calcular as recompensas.

       Assumindo que blocos foram encontrados, os pagamentos são processados e enviados a cada hora. Este processo é totalmente 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.

    • Quando sou pago?

    Você não verá nenhum saldo em sua conta até que o pool encontre um bloco e depois que o bloco tenha atingido um estado maduro. Isso pode levar várias horas dependendo da moeda. Uma vez que um bloco pode ser considerado maduro pelo pool, suas ações serão usadas para calcular sua contribuição para encontrar o bloco. Quanto mais você contribuiu, maior será sua parte da recompensa do bloco.

    Mineração Solo

    Na mineração solo, todos os mineradores competem entre si pelo bloco atual. O minerador que envia a ação com uma dificuldade que representa o bloco recebe a recompensa completa do bloco menos a taxa insignificante do 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.
