⚠ Hashrate Cap — 35 TH/s
This PPLNS pool is designed for small miners — Bitaxe, Nano, S9-class hardware, and single boards.
The pool enforces a maximum difficulty cap equivalent to approximately 35 TH/s.
Miners above this threshold will have vardiff capped and will receive proportionally fewer shares than their actual hashrate warrants — making PPLNS economics unfavorable at that scale.This is a trial run. The cap may be adjusted or removed as the pool grows and economics evolve. Solo mining on port 3333/3433 remains the primary offering with 0% fee and no cap — large miners are encouraged there.

PPLNS Anti-Hop Protection — new miners earn increasing share credit
over 6 hours of continuous mining to discourage pool hopping.
A gap > 30 min pauses your ramp. A gap > 4 hrs resets it.
Only shares from the last 8 hours count toward block rewards.
Pool fee: 1%.
Getting your wallet address — Kvanta5-Qt
1
Open Kvanta5-Qt and click the Receive tab.
2
Enter a label if you want to name this address — optional but helpful if you plan to run multiple miners.
3
Open the address type dropdown and select Wrapped P2SH (mining capability).
4
Click Create new receiving address. A QR code popup will appear.
5
Copy the P2QR mining address.
Getting your wallet address — CLI
Run the following command on your local machine with a Kvanta5 wallet loaded:
kvanta5-cli getnewkvanta5p2qrminingaddress
Use the address field returned — beginning with 3 — as your mining address.
Note: this requires a wallet to be loaded on your local node.
The pool's mining node does not hold or generate wallets.
Notes
The workername after the dot is free-form — use anything that helps you identify
your rig (e.g. gamma1, nano,
basement). Each unique workername appears as a separate
worker on your dashboard. You can run multiple miners to the same wallet address
with different workernames — all shares contribute to the same address in the
PPLNS window.
