How do I connect my miner?
Use our Get Started guide. For SRBMiner: --algorithm pearlhash --pool pearlpool.cloud:5566 --wallet YOUR_WALLET --worker WORKER. For lpminer: --algo pearl --pool stratum+tcp://pearlpool.cloud:5566 --wallet YOUR_WALLET.WORKER.
What are the pool fees?
0.5% — forever. This is the lowest sustainable fee in the Pearl ecosystem. It covers server costs and maintenance. There are no hidden fees, no minimum payout fees, and no transaction fees beyond the Pearl network fee.
How do payouts work?
We use PPLNS (Pay Per Last N Shares). Payouts process every 4 hours once your balance reaches 2 PRL. Your earnings are calculated based on your share contribution in the rolling window.
What is PPLNS?
PPLNS rewards miners based on their contribution over the last N shares, not per-block. This prevents "pool hopping" and ensures consistent miners earn their fair share. The more shares you submit, the more you earn.
Which miner should I use?
SRBMiner and lpminer both support PearlHash. Windows users can use either. Linux users typically use SRBMiner. HiveOS users can use our HiveOS config template.
Why guarded mode?
The pool is live and accepting shares. Real payouts begin after the PearlHash share verifier audit is complete. Shares are counted now and will be honored. This protects miners and the pool.
Where can I see my stats?
Enter your wallet address on the Stats page. You'll see all your workers, accepted/rejected shares, estimated hashrate, and connection history.
