Point your miner at ctrl with your wallet address as the username. When the pool finds a block, your share is paid to that address. Bitcoin, Litecoin, Zcash and more.
A CTRL-id holds a payout address for each coin you mine. Put it in the username on every port, and each block pays the address you set for its coin. No account, no email, no password.
Username ctrl….rig1 on SHA-256, Scrypt, Equihash and BLAKE2b. Each port pays the address the id holds for its coin.
Scrypt shares also mine Bellscoin, Pepecoin, Luckycoin and Soqucoin. Those four are paid only to a CTRL-id, at the address you set for each.
You get an edit key once, when you create the id. With it you can add a coin or change an address, and your rigs keep the same username.
Three settings in your miner. No account, no download.
Any ASIC mines the coin it was built for: SHA-256 for Bitcoin, Scrypt for Litecoin and Dogecoin, Equihash for Zcash. Each coin's page sorts regions by how close they are to you.
Choose a coinUsername is your address, a dot, and a name for the rig: address.rig1. Password x. Use an address whose keys you hold. The address is the account; there is nothing to sign up for. Mining more than one coin? A CTRL-id holds an address for each.
Paste the address in the menu bar. Your first share shows within a minute and the 15-minute hashrate settles after 15 minutes. You are paid when the pool finds a block, or once a day on SHA-256 :5555.

7 coins on 4 algorithms, one pool. Your payout address is your username on all of them. Open a coin for its stratum URLs, live stats and blocks.
Most pools hold your balance and pay it out later. On BTC and LTC the block itself pays you, and with DATUM you can build that block yourself.
BTC, BCH, XBT and LTC pay your share of the window as an output in the coinbase of the block the pool finds. No balance sits with us and there is nothing to withdraw. ZEC, SC and SHA-256 :5555 pay from the pool wallet instead.
Run your own node next to a DATUM Gateway and it decides what goes in the block. Shares credit the same address.worker account, and the payout is unchanged: pooled, in the coinbase.
Pool Police connects to every major pool as a miner and decodes the coinbase of the first job it serves. A pool handing out another pool's coinbase is a proxy. We publish the rounds, ours included.
We are a new pool, and the first farms on it set its foundation. In exchange for helping us get started we will come to you: a stratum or DATUM server installed inside your facility, a lower fee than the public rate, and a direct line to the people who run the pool.
We set up a stratum or DATUM gateway on your LAN, so your miners never see the public internet. If your uplink drops the server keeps working until it comes back.
Founding farms pay less than the public rate, agreed up front and taken in the coinbase like every other payout. No contract, no lock-in.
You talk to the people who wrote the pool, not a ticket queue: firmware, failover, per-worker monitoring, and what your farm needs built.
Three settings and you are mining. Questions go to support@ctrlpool.com.
