Pool Questions
Mining, rewards, difficulty, and account behavior in one place.
Mining
Which miner should I use?
Nautilus is the native Reef miner in this repository. WildRig Multi can also mine Pearl with the pearlhash algorithm when you prefer a third-party miner.
What endpoint should workers use?
Use the public Stratum endpoint shown on the Mine page. The current default is 68.183.184.25:3333 unless the deployment config overrides it.
Why does pool speed differ from local bench speed?
Pool mining generates fresh Pearl commitments for every real batch. The reused-commitment local find benchmark is useful for kernel work, but the pool-equivalent rate is the fresh-commitment path.
Rewards
What is the pool fee?
The current public configuration advertises a 1% pool fee. The live value is also exposed through /api/v1/config.
What is the minimum payout?
The production threshold is 1 PRL by default. Payments remain disabled until the pool operator enables payout processing.
How is hashrate estimated?
Pool hashrate is share-derived PearlHash H/s. It updates after accepted shares arrive inside the stats window, so a new worker may show 0 H/s at first.
Operations
Where can I check an address?
Use Lookup with a prl1 address to view worker state, accepted shares, balances, and payments for that account.
What difficulty does the pool assign?
The current default is 262144 Pearl share difficulty, with VarDiff targeting roughly 15 seconds per submitted share. Generated commands can request a lower initial difficulty with password syntax like x;d=65536 for faster first-share feedback.
What should I report when something breaks?
Include wallet address, worker name, miner command, pool endpoint, accepted/rejected share messages, and the time range in UTC.
