◉ PROP Mining (PROP Ports)
Method: Proportional Reward Sharing
Reward: Share of block reward based on your contribution (50 BTC)
Risk: Moderate variance
✓ Share rewards proportionally with all miners
✓ Steady rewards from pool blocks
⚡ Fair rewards based on hashrate contribution!
PROP Ports: 3333, 3334, 3337 - When the pool finds a block, all miners share the reward proportionally based on their hashrate contribution (0.5% goes to pool fee).
◈ SOLO Mining (SOLO Port)
Method: Solo Mining
Reward: Full block reward if YOU find a block (50 BTC)
Risk: Very high variance
✓ Keep 100% of block reward (minus 0.5% pool fee)
✗ Must find a block yourself to earn
⚡ High risk, high reward!
SOLO Port: 3339 - You keep the full block reward if your miner finds a block. Only the block finder gets paid!
▦ VarDiff Settings
⚙ Manual Difficulty Override
You can manually set difficulty by adding +DIFFICULTY to your worker name:
Format:
WALLET_ADDRESS.worker_name+DIFFICULTY
Examples:
⚡ Tip: Only use manual difficulty if VarDiff isn't working well for your hardware. The pool automatically optimizes for you!
