PPLNS and pool fees

Understand how MineHarbor Pool distributes Bitcoin rewards and charges fees.

PPLNS means Pay Per Last N Shares. When MineHarbor Pool finds a valid Bitcoin block, the distributable reward is allocated across qualifying recent shares instead of paying a fixed amount for every submitted share.

  • A valid share proves that a miner contributed work to the pool.
  • The pool must find a block before that round produces a block reward.
  • Recent qualifying shares determine each miner’s portion under the configured PPLNS window.
  • Consistent participation reduces the effect of joining only briefly around a lucky block.
  • MineHarbor Pool deducts a 1% operator fee from a found block reward.
  • Automatic payout starts when the confirmed balance reaches 0.001 BTC.
  • Payouts are sent directly to the external BTC address used in the Worker / Username.
