Payouts
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Payout schedule | Payouts run several times a day; a balance is paid in the next round once it reaches the miner's payout limit. |
| Payout scheme explained | PPLNS: the reward of each block the pool finds is split among miners in proportion to their recent shares, so balances grow only when the pool finds a block. |
| Payout limit | Each miner can change the payout limit in the account settings, within the range set for each coin. |
Connecting
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Server regions | Europe (two servers), US East, US West, Asia, Japan and Australia. |
| Protocol | Stratum, with an SSL port on each server; the pool recommends the SSL connection. |
| Account needed | No registration: an account is created automatically within 30 minutes of the first valid share sent to a wallet address. |
| Supported hardware | GPU and CPU rigs; Monero can be mined with a CPU but not with an ASIC. |
Security and transparency
- There is no login: account settings are protected by the email address or passphrase set in the mining software's configuration.
- Miners can receive email alerts when a worker goes offline by adding an email address to the miner configuration.
