FAQCommon questions about mining and block rewards

01. What does non-custodial mining infrastructure mean?

It means the pool does not store or manage your funds. Block rewards are created in the block and assigned to your address. There are no balances, payouts or withdrawals.

02. How does solo mining work in this pool?

Each miner works independently. If your miner finds a block, the block reward is assigned to your address.

03. Why is there no balance or payouts?

The pool operates without custody. Rewards are assigned to your address in the block. There is no balance or payout system.

04. What is a coinbase transaction?

A coinbase transaction is the first transaction in a block. It creates new coins and assigns the reward to an address. It also includes transaction fees from the block.

05. When can I spend my coins?

Block rewards require blockchain confirmations before they can be spent. This typically takes around 100 blocks, depending on the network.

06. Can I mine to an exchange address?

It is recommended to use a personal wallet. Some exchanges may not support direct coinbase transactions or may delay crediting.

07. Why is my deposit not showing on the exchange?

Some exchanges do not credit coinbase transactions immediately or may not support them at all. It is recommended to use a personal wallet and transfer funds to an exchange after confirmations.

08. What happens after I find a block?

The block reward is assigned to your address. After enough confirmations, it becomes spendable.

09. Why is my reward zero after several hours of mining?

This pool uses a solo mining model. You receive a reward only if your miner finds a block. Shares and mining time do not produce rewards.

10. Why haven’t I found a block yet?

Finding a block is random and depends on your hashrate and luck. Even with sufficient hashrate, it may take longer or shorter than expected.

11. How does Personal Luck work?

Personal Luck shows how much work was required to find a block compared to the network average. 100% means the expected average work. Lower values mean the block was found faster than expected, while higher values mean more work was required. Because mining is random and network difficulty changes over time, the amount of work required can vary significantly. Over time, the average luck converges to 100%. After a block is found, the value resets.

12. Why is my pool hashrate lower than expected?

The pool calculates hashrate based on submitted shares over time. After you start mining, it may take up to 30 minutes to stabilize. Short-term values can differ from your mining software.

13. Why is my share count different?

The pool shows shares for the last 6 hours, while your mining software may display all-time values.

14. What is Share Difficulty and which port should I use?

Share Difficulty defines how often your miner submits shares to the pool. It does not affect your chances of finding a block. Lower difficulty increases share frequency and load, while higher difficulty reduces it. In most cases, use the low port.
