Why is hashrate on pool different than what mining client reports?

Pool only received the amount of shares that are submitted to it and calculates the hashrate based on that, so there can be a difference with what mining client reports as hashrate and what is detected as hashrate on the pool.

  • Current hashrate: Sometimes also called the effective hashrate. It is calculated based on the amount of shares you have submitted to the pool, share difficulty, and luck.
  • Average hashrate: Average value of current hashrate reported through some period of time.

Why is balance updating with delays / slowly?

Your balance updates every time the pool finds a block. Since pool is still relatively small, blocks are not found as frequently as on other pools. You can check blocks the pool found here.

Do you offer API?

Yes, you can find API documentation here.

I reached minimum payout threshold but didn't get paid. What can I do?

If you are mining to exchange or any other smart contract address, we are unable to send you the transaction. In this case please step in touch with us and let us know the ETH address you were mining to and to which ETH address (that is not a smart contract) you would like to get paid.
