Its time for miners to take ctrl. No accounts. DATUM support if you run a node. Point a miner or two at us and help us grow.
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. Local jobs, local share submission, and 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. If we do not earn your hashrate, point it elsewhere.
You talk to the people who wrote the pool, not a ticket queue. We will help with firmware, failover, and per-worker monitoring, and we will build what your farm needs.
Pick US, Europe, or Asia. Use your payout address as the username, followed by a dot and a worker name. Any password except solo is pooled PPLNS. Password solo makes that worker solo: a block it finds pays your address minus 2.5%. XBT and BTC pay in the coinbase. ZEC pays from the pool wallet. The address is the account and its pages are public. Each coin keeps a separate account for the same address.
Shares enter a PPLNS window sized at shift 2 × network difficulty. The oldest work leaves as new work arrives.
When the pool finds a block, your share of the reward is credited from a PPLNS window. XBT and BTC pay that share in the coinbase. ZEC pays from the pool wallet after 100 confirmations. Amounts under the coin's minimum carry forward.
Run Bitcoin Knots or Core next to a DATUM Gateway and your node decides what goes in the block. The gateway connects to us, shares credit the same address.worker account, and the payout is unchanged: PPLNS, paid in the coinbase. This is pooled mining with your own template, not solo mining.
We connect to each pool as a miner, take the first job it serves, and decode the coinbase. The coinbase says who gets paid. A pool handing out another pool's coinbase is a proxy, not a pool. Rounds run around the clock, and you can check your own pool the same way.
