Frequently Asked Questions
This is a general help page for miners who need quick answers before opening the detailed pool and API documentation.
How do I start mining on a pool?
Open the Connect page for your pool first. It lists the public host, ports, payout scheme, and connection details you need before pointing a miner at the stratum endpoint.
Why does my miner dashboard look empty?
The miner dashboard only fills in after the address has submitted shares to the selected pool. Double-check the wallet address, worker naming, and that the miner is connected to the correct pool.
Where can I change payout minimums or donation settings?
Load your wallet in the Miner Dashboard and open the Settings tab. Minimum payout, mining IP verification, and donation rates are managed there.
How often do pool stats update?
Most tables and summary cards refresh automatically on an interval, and websocket notifications trigger faster updates for new hashrate, worker, payment, and block events when they are available.
Where can I review pool API endpoints?
The API & Docs page summarizes the public, read-only endpoints exposed by the Miningcore backend and explains which UI pages map to each endpoint family.
