Info for high hashrate miners
TL;DR: If your hashrate is above 50 Kh/s on a 10m average, contact us. If you do not, you risk your IP being blocked.
At minernode, we want to provide a safe and, most of all, rewarding experience for all of our miners. Therefore, we have implemented a few measures to prevent abuse of our pool.
If you are mining with a high hashrate, which we define as any hashrate over 50 Kh/s per address, you must contact us first via [email protected]. If you do not, our system will automatically ban your ip after a few minutes.
If you are mining with a high hashrate, you are also asked to use a proxy. We recommend using xmrig-proxy as it is easy to set up and has a lot of features. It is also fully compatible with XMRig and minernode.
This measure will take effect on Friday, 10.02.2023 at 19:00 UTC. If you have any questions, please contact us.
Pool maintenance
TL;DR: The pool router will be down for maintenance on 06.03.2023 between 22:00 and 24:00 UTC. It should function normally.
Our hoster will be performing maintenance on the router server on 06.03.2023 between 22:00 and 24:00 UTC. This will very likely not cause any differences for you, however it means that the pool cannot switch to the backup P2Pool instance if required. Therefore, we recommend configuring a backup pool for your miner.
Terms of Service for Minernode Monero Mining Pool
Welcome to Minernode, worlds first Monero mining pool running on decentralized hashrate from P2Pool. By using our services, you agree to the following terms and conditions.
User Data
We do not permanently save any user data on our systems, except for balances and addresses, as well as withdrawal timestamps. We take privacy seriously and, after all, Monero is a privacy coin, so we will not sell or share your data with third parties. We do not utilize an analytics platform on our website. However, please note that your statistics can be accessed using only your Monero wallet address by anyone. We therefore recommend using a subaddress.
Transparency
We want to provide a safe and trustful mining environment for old and new miners, which is why we want to be as transparent as possible. In our Discord server, you will find a history of all payments done to users and a changelog. On the website, you can find the 5 most recent withdrawals, a link to our P2Pool Observer Page, a link to our uptime page, a link to our discord, and a link to our API. We also provide a chart of the last 24 hours of mining activity, updated every 15 minutes.
Hyperlinks
Before placing them, we check the content of Hyperlinks. We are not responsible for the content of external websites. We reserve the right to remove any link at any time.
Cheating
Cheating the pool with invalid hashrate or other methods with the goal of illegally obtaining rewards will not be tolerated. Any user found cheating
will have their IP and address permanently banned from our pool. There is no way to appeal this decision. We reserve the right to take legal
action if necessary. Make sure your miner is correctly set up and does not send invalid results back (especially invalid PoW)!
Current Statistics
All information about current statistics provided on our website may be outdated or incorrect. While we make every effort to provide accurate information, we cannot guarantee its correctness, especially since many values change every second.
Inactivity
Activity is defined as a miner with your address submitting at least 1 valid share.
We want to combat the issue of XMR laying dormant on pool wallets. Therefore, after 2 years (730 days) of inactivity, your accumulated XMR will be donated. ⅓ will go to our donation wallet, ⅓ will go to SChernykh (P2Pool Dev), and ⅓ will go to the Monero General Fund.
Illegally obtained hashrate
If the pool admins receive credible reports indicating that a user is receiving hashrate from illegitimate sources, we will take immediate action. Your funds will be frozen and only returned to you if you contact us within 7 days of a warning appearing on your miner stats page and are able to prove to us that your hashrate is legally obtained. The used IP addresses will be permanently blocked from our system to prevent further abuse and will not be unblocked. If you do not contact us within 7 days (168h), we will see the mined funds as a donation to the pool and accept them as such.
We will work together with government agencies in the case of illegallly sourced hashrate.
Changes to Terms of Service
We reserve the right to change these terms of service at any time without prior notice. It is your responsibility to check the terms regularly to ensure that you are aware of any changes. Last update: 26.05.2023
If you have any questions or concerns about our terms of service, please contact us at [email protected].
