xCoin · pools
Pick a pool. Point your miner. Get paid by the chain.
Every xCoin pool runs on its own full node. PPLNS pools pay miners directly in the block's coinbase; the pool never holds coins.
The rule
Every pool runs its own full node, on the same machine. The pool software will not start against a remote one.
Solo pays the finder. PPLNS pays the last N shares. Both pay in the coinbase.

Point your miner
no account · no sign-up · your address is your loginPick a pool
The nearest region with room. Solo or PPLNS: see below.
Username: your address
Your xpa1r… address. Add .workername to tell rigs apart: xpa1r….mymac. Password: anything.
Start mining
Blocks pay in their own coinbase, to your address. No address yet? nex-cli getnewaddress on your node, or the wallet tab in MMM.
Mac Metal Miner
The native miner. Apple Silicon, open source. Open Setup and enter:
Network Mainnet
Explorer https://superknet.com
Pool 172.96.186.49
Port 3335
Worker mymac
Password leave blank
Payout xpa1r…
Pool and Port: any host and port from the list. This one is Solo · New York.

NerdMiner, on a PPLNS pool:
./NerdMiner xpa1r… \ --pool 198.252.101.117:3336 \ --base 1790380800 \ --worker mymac
Other stratum miners take the same three fields:

xcoinminer.com
A browser cannot open a raw stratum connection. Mine in the browser at xcoinminer.com instead. Enter your xpa1r… address and start. It connects for you; there is no stratum URL to paste.
Open xcoinminer.comA full pool is at its miner limit, the number after the slash. It turns new miners away with a message. Pick another region. A count with no slash means the pool reports no limit. Connected counts open connections, which hold the slots; Mining counts rigs that sent work in the last 5 minutes. A connection that sends nothing, even at the lowest difficulty, is closed after about half an hour.
Solo or PPLNS
two ways to get paid · both in the coinbaseSolo · New York 0% · Oregon 1.98% · São Paulo 2.97%
The finder takes the block.
Your rig works alone. When it finds a block, the coinbase pays the block, subsidy plus fees, to your address. New York takes nothing; Oregon keeps 1.98% and São Paulo 2.97%, paid as a second output of that same coinbase. Rare, and yours when it lands. Between blocks, nothing.
PPLNS · 0.99% fee
Every block pays the last N shares.
Pay per last N shares. Every block the pool finds pays the miners behind the last N shares, pro rata by work, directly in that block's coinbase. The 0.99% fee is paid in the same coinbase. The pool never holds coins: no balance, nothing to withdraw.
Run your own pool
one pool · one full node · one machineThe own-node rule
To run a pool, you run your own full node, on the same machine.
The xCoin pool software enforces it. It refuses to start against a remote node: it accepts only an RPC host on loopback.
That is the point. A pool on its own node checks every block for itself before it builds on it. Each new pool adds an independent verifier to the network.
- NodeA full node, syncednexd, on the machine that runs the pool.
- RPCLoopback onlyThe pool talks to its node at 127.0.0.1. A remote RPC host is refused at startup.
- VerifierOne more checkEvery pool is one more machine that verifies every block itself.
