Overview
This guide explains how to mine Pearl / PRL on Windows with lpminer and PearlPool.cloud. It is written for miners who want a simple setup: wallet address, worker name, stratum URL and a stable pool connection. No account registration is required. Your PRL wallet address is your miner identity.
PearlPool.cloud is a transparent Pearl / PRL pool with PPLNS accounting, public stats, public API endpoints and a public launch-fee model: 0% launch fee until the first confirmed pool block, then 0.5% forever.

What You Need Before Starting
- A valid Pearl / PRL wallet address.
- A Windows mining rig with a supported GPU.
- lpminer or another miner that supports Pearl / PRL mining.
- Internet access to
pearlpool.cloud:5566.
Do not use an exchange deposit address unless the exchange explicitly supports mining payouts. A self-custody PRL wallet is recommended.
Worker Format
PearlPool.cloud uses your wallet address and worker name to identify your rig. The format is:
YOUR_PRL_WALLET.YOUR_WORKER_NAMEExample:
prl1yourwalletaddress.rig01Use simple worker names such as rig01, rtx4090, garage or windows01.
Example Windows Start File
Create a file named start-pearlpool.bat in your miner folder and adjust the wallet address and worker name.
lpminer.exe --pool pearlpool.cloud:5566 --user YOUR_PRL_WALLET.rig01 --pass xMiner command options can differ between releases. Always compare with the README or help output of your miner version.
How to Check If It Works
- Start the miner.
- Look for
new jobmessages from the pool. - Wait until your miner reports
share accepted. - Open the Stats page and search your wallet.
- Check the Leaderboard to see your worker hashrate and accepted shares.
Rejected Shares on Windows
A very small number of rejected shares can happen on any mining pool. Common reasons include stale jobs, connection interruptions, miner restarts or duplicate submits. A healthy setup should normally have a high accept rate. If your reject rate is high, check your internet connection, GPU stability and miner version.
PearlPool.cloud shows accepted shares, rejected shares and candidate submissions transparently so miners can evaluate pool behaviour over time.
Payouts and PPLNS
PearlPool.cloud uses PPLNS. Your accepted shares count toward the payout window. When the pool finds a confirmed and mature block, rewards are distributed based on valid shares in the PPLNS window after the pool fee. The minimum payout is 2 PRL.
Until the first confirmed/mature pool block and payout audit are completed, the pool should be treated as public beta.
