Getting Started

Follow these steps to start mining with our pool

1

Prepare Your Wallet

Before you start mining, you need a valid Bitcoin wallet address to receive your earnings. Make sure you understand the supported address formats and best practices.

Supported Bitcoin Address Types
Our pool supports all standard Bitcoin address formats

P2PKH

Original address type. Begins with "1"

P2SH

Multisignature or P2SH-Segwit. Begins with "3"

Bech32

Segwit. Begins with "bc1"

Bech32m

Taproot. Begins with "bc1". Longer than Bech32

Address Validation

The pool itself does not validate if your username is a valid bitcoin address. It will not reject your connection if it is invalid.

If your username is not a valid Bitcoin address, you will not generate any earnings and will not be able to view statistics for your miner. Any shares submitted with an invalid username are lost.

Always double check your stats page to ensure everything is working correctly!

Worker Names

You may append a short custom workername to the address by using a period (.) between the address and worker name. This can help track your miners or groups of miners more precisely on our dashboard.

Example: myaddress.myworkername

If no worker name is given, "default" is used. Multiple miners/connections can be made for the same username/workername and they are simply aggregated.

Some miners may have length limits on usernames. Always check our dashboard to confirm your miner is functioning with the pool after set up.

Passwords can be anything and are ignored, but keeping it short (ex: "x", without quotes) is recommended.
