Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does automatic profit switching work?
Every 90 seconds the pool evaluates each coin's profitability (reward x price / difficulty). The most profitable coin is selected as the parent block. Your miner does not need to do anything — the switch happens transparently.
2. What are Immature and "In vendita" balances?
Immature means the coins have been mined but the block has not yet received enough confirmations. "In vendita" means the coins are being exchanged. Both become available balance automatically once processing completes.
3. How do I withdraw my earnings?
Go to your wallet page and click "Request Withdrawal". Enter the destination address and amount. Your request will be reviewed and approved by an admin, typically within 24 hours.
4. Why is admin approval required for withdrawals?
Admin approval adds an extra layer of security against unauthorized withdrawals, protecting miners even if an attacker bypasses 2FA.
5. What is merge mining?
Merge mining (AuxPoW) allows certain coins to share proof-of-work with a parent chain. You earn rewards from all merge-mined coins without additional hashrate or configuration.
6. What is variable difficulty (Vardiff)?
The pool automatically adjusts share difficulty based on your hashrate. High-hashrate miners get harder shares (fewer but more valuable), while low-hashrate miners get easier shares (more frequent).
7. How is my hashrate calculated?
The pool estimates your hashrate based on the rate of valid shares you submit over a sliding time window. This is a statistical estimate and will fluctuate.
8. What is the minimum payout?
The minimum withdrawal is 0.001 BTC equivalent. A fixed fee of approximately $1 USD is deducted per withdrawal to cover on-chain transaction costs.
9. Can I mine with an ASIC?
Yes. SHA-256d and Scrypt both support ASIC miners. NeoScrypt is primarily GPU-mined. Connect to the appropriate stratum port.
10. How many confirmations for a block reward?
This varies by coin — typically 100 to 200 confirmations. The pool tracks each coin's requirement and marks blocks as confirmed automatically.
11. What happens if a coin daemon goes offline?
The health monitoring detects offline daemons within 60 seconds and stops mining that coin. It switches to the next most profitable coin. No shares are lost.
12. Is KoInIuM open source?
KoInIuM is based on a heavily modified YIIMP fork with custom ZMQ block detection, merge mining improvements, withdrawal system, and multi-language support.
