Earnings Model and Payout Rules

I. Earnings Models

The mining pool currently supports mining for LTC, DOGE, BELLS, and PEP. Different cryptocurrencies use different reward settlement models.

1. LTC Reward Model: PPS (Pay Per Share)

PPS is a reward model that settles earnings instantly based on valid shares submitted by miners.

Features

Stable Earnings: Miner rewards are not affected by the pool's actual block-finding performance. Each valid share is paid according to its theoretical value.

Pool-Assumed Risk: Miners receive rewards even if the pool does not find blocks within a short period.

Suitable for Long-Term Mining: Lower earnings fluctuation makes revenue estimation easier.

2. DOGE, BELLS, and PEP Reward Model: PPLNS (Pay Per Last N Shares)

PPLNS distributes rewards based on the pool's actual block-finding results. When the pool successfully mines a block, rewards are distributed according to each miner's proportion of valid shares submitted during the recent payout window.

Features

Reward Variability: Earnings are directly affected by the pool's luck. Short-term earnings may be above or below theoretical expectations, but over longer periods (typically 24 hours or more), earnings tend to approach the network average.

Continuous Mining Required: Stable miner uptime is important. Frequent disconnections or downtime reduce a miner's weight in the reward window and may lower earnings.

II. Pool Fee Structure

Pool fees are used to maintain servers, nodes, and network infrastructure.

Settlement Method: Fees are automatically deducted during earnings calculation. The amount displayed in your account is the net earnings after fee deduction.

III. Supported Coins and Minimum Payout Amounts

The system uses an automatic payout threshold. Payments are automatically processed once the account balance reaches the specified minimum payout amount.

Coin Name Reward Model Pool Fee Minimum Payout
LTC Litecoin PPS 2% 0.02 LTC
DOGE Dogecoin PPLNS 4% 40 DOGE
BELLS Bells PPLNS 4% 1 BELLS
PEP Pep PPLNS 4% 4,200 PEP

IV. Automatic Payout Process

The mining pool uses an automated payout system. No manual withdrawal request is required.

1. Payout Time

Automatic payouts are processed once daily at:

12:00 (UTC+0)

2. Payout Requirements

The account balance has reached the minimum payout threshold.

A valid wallet address has been configured for the corresponding coin.

3. Processing Time

After a payout is sent, it must be confirmed by the blockchain network. The actual arrival time depends on network congestion and the confirmation requirements of the receiving wallet or exchange.

V. Common Earnings Issues

1. Balance Has Reached the Threshold but No Payment Received

Please check the following:

Wallet Address: Confirm that a valid payout address has been configured.

Payout Schedule: Confirm that the balance reached the threshold before the latest payout cycle (12:00 UTC+0).

Network Confirmations: Check the transaction status on a blockchain explorer to verify whether the payout has been sent and is awaiting confirmations.
