About FenixPool

What is FenixPool?

FenixPool is a public cryptocurrency mining pool supporting multiple algorithms — SHA-256, Scrypt, X11, KawPow, Autolykos2, MinotaurX, and RandomX. Connect your ASIC, GPU, or CPU hardware to mine Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin Cash, Auroracoin, DigiByte, Peercoin, Namecoin, Dogecoin, Monero, Ergo, Ravencoin, and Dash.

What is the pool fee?

FenixPool charges a flat 1% fee on all pools. It's one of the lowest fees in the industry and is applied to the block reward before your share is calculated.

What is the difference between SOLO, PPLNS, and EMBER?

SOLO: you receive the full post-fee block reward when your miner finds a block — higher variance, higher upside. PPLNS (Pay Per Last N Shares): the block reward is split proportionally among everyone who contributed shares in the recent window — steadier, smaller payouts. EMBER: a hybrid that pays the block finder a tiered bonus (up to 96% at small pools, down to 48% at very large pools) then distributes the remainder via PPLNS — the finder's shares are excluded from the remainder split, so every non-finder gets strictly more than under plain PPLNS. See the EMBER section above for the full tier schedule.

How do I connect my miner?

Configure your miner's stratum URL to fenixpool.com with the correct port for your coin and payout scheme. Use your wallet address as the username and any value as the password. The Connect page has copy-paste commands for each coin.

What mining hardware is supported?

Any Stratum v1 compatible hardware. SHA-256 ASICs (Antminer S19/S21, Whatsminer, BitAxe family, etc.), Scrypt ASICs (Antminer L7/L9 class), X11 ASICs for Dash, GPUs for Ergo/Autolykos2, Ravencoin/KawPow, and LCC MinotaurX, and CPUs for Monero/RandomX. We maintain compatibility patches for lower-end consumer ASICs that strictly parse stratum messages (BitAxe, LuckyMiner LV-series, Magicminer/Hashcard).

When do I get paid?

After your miner submits shares, your share of any block the pool finds is credited to your internal pool balance once the block matures on-chain (100 confirmations for BTC/BCH/most SHA-256 coins; fewer for others). When your balance exceeds the pool's minimum payout threshold, the pool automatically sends it to your wallet on its next payout cycle.

What are the minimum payouts?

BTC / BCH: 0.001 · AUR / PPC / NMC / XMR / DASH: 0.01 · LCC: 0.1 · ERG: 0.5 · DGB / RVN: 1 · DOGE: 10. Payouts are processed automatically once your balance clears the threshold.

How do I check my mining stats?

Visit the Miners page and enter your wallet address. You'll see your live hashrate, connected workers, blocks found, pending and paid balances, and performance history.

Where do mining rewards come from? Does FenixPool hold my funds?

When your miner finds a block, the block's coinbase transaction pays the entire reward to the pool's operator address — this is publicly verifiable on-chain. The pool then credits your internal balance with your share of each matured block and pays it out when you cross the minimum threshold. Between block maturity and your next payout, the pool wallet holds your accumulated share. This is standard pool architecture — the coinbase is visible on the blockchain, and payouts are traceable wallet-to-wallet transactions. Use a wallet address you control; the pool does not create or hold wallets for you.

Is FenixPool reliable?

The pool runs on dedicated infrastructure with automated monitoring (daemon watchdogs, stratum health checks, payout verification, block attribution audits), systemd service management for uptime, and SSL encryption on the dashboard. Issues are surfaced on the status page and per-miner alert banners where applicable.

Last updated: April 16, 2026

By connecting mining hardware to FenixPool ("the Pool"), submitting shares, or using any FenixPool service (including the website, API, stratum endpoints, and dashboards), you ("the Miner") agree to the following terms. If you do not agree, disconnect your mining hardware and stop using FenixPool services immediately.

1. Mining at Your Own Risk

Mining cryptocurrency through FenixPool is done entirely at your own risk. FenixPool is operated on a best-effort basis by independent operators ("the Operator") and makes no guarantees of any kind — express or implied — regarding uptime, profitability, block discovery, payout timing, hashrate accuracy, or the continued availability of any pool, coin, or service.

Cryptocurrency mining is inherently uncertain. Block discovery is probabilistic, not guaranteed. Extended periods without finding a block — even with significant hashrate — are a normal and expected part of mining. FenixPool does not and cannot guarantee that your mining efforts will result in any reward.

2. Stale and Orphaned Blocks

Blocks found by the Pool may be classified as orphaned (rejected by the network) or stale (superseded by another block at the same height). This is a normal part of blockchain consensus and occurs on every mining pool. When a block is orphaned:

• All share credit, balance accrual, and payout obligations associated with that block are voided.
• No compensation, credit, or alternative payment will be provided for orphaned or stale blocks.
• FenixPool bears no responsibility for blocks orphaned due to network propagation delays, chain reorganizations, blockchain forks, or any other cause.

3. Payouts and Balances

• Payout schemes (SOLO, PPLNS, EMBER, or any future scheme) operate as described on the Pool's website. The Operator reserves the right to modify payout schemes, tier structures, fee percentages, minimum payout thresholds, and payout intervals at any time without prior notice.
• Minimum payouts are enforced per coin. Balances below the minimum threshold are held until the threshold is met. FenixPool is not a bank, exchange, or custodial service — balances held below the payout threshold are pending operational payouts, not deposits.
• Payout timing depends on block maturity (confirmation depth), payment processing intervals, and daemon availability. Delays may occur due to blockchain congestion, daemon maintenance, or other operational factors. FenixPool is not liable for delayed payouts.
• Pool fee (currently 1% across all pools) is deducted from the block reward before miner distribution. The fee rate may change at any time.
• Temporary custody: Between the time a block matures and payouts are sent, the Pool wallet temporarily holds miner rewards. This is an operational necessity, not a custodial relationship. FenixPool is not a financial institution and does not offer deposit, savings, or investment services.

4. No Guaranteed Income

Nothing on the FenixPool website, dashboards, social media, advertisements, or communications constitutes a promise, projection, or guarantee of mining income. Hashrate estimates, "time to find" calculations, earned-reward displays, and tier schedule tables are informational only and based on mathematical models that assume ideal conditions. Actual results will vary due to luck variance, network difficulty changes, block reward halvings, coin price fluctuations, and other factors outside the Pool's control.

5. Service Availability

FenixPool may experience downtime — planned or unplanned — for maintenance, upgrades, daemon updates, hardware failures, power outages, network disruptions, or any other reason. The Operator will make reasonable efforts to minimize downtime but provides no uptime guarantee or service-level agreement (SLA). During downtime:

• Connected miners will be disconnected and must reconnect when service resumes.
• Shares submitted during downtime or to unreachable stratum ports are lost and will not be credited.
• FenixPool is not liable for any lost mining revenue, missed blocks, or opportunity cost resulting from downtime of any duration.

6. EMBER Payout Scheme

The EMBER payout scheme ("Every Miner Banks Earned Rewards") is a hybrid finder-bonus + PPLNS system unique to FenixPool. By mining on an EMBER pool, you acknowledge:

• The finder bonus percentage is determined by the active miner count at the time of block discovery, using a tiered schedule published on the Pool's website. The tier schedule may be modified at any time.
• The "active miner" count is determined by a loyalty gate (continuous share submission within a configurable time window). Flash-connections, intermittent miners, or miners who do not meet the loyalty threshold are excluded from the active count.
• The PPLNS remainder portion distributes based on a configurable scoring window ("factor"). If the window is not fully filled with non-finder shares, the undistributed remainder stays in the Pool wallet and is not owed to any miner.
• The finder's shares are excluded from the PPLNS remainder calculation. This is by design and is not a bug or shortchange.

7. Wallet Addresses and Miner Responsibility

• You are solely responsible for providing a correct, valid wallet address for the cryptocurrency you are mining. FenixPool cannot recover funds sent to an incorrect, invalid, or inaccessible address.
• FenixPool does not create, manage, or hold wallets on behalf of miners. You must use a wallet address you control.
• If you lose access to your wallet, FenixPool cannot assist with recovery and bears no responsibility for inaccessible funds.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, FenixPool and its Operator shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages — including but not limited to lost mining revenue, lost profits, lost data, hardware damage, opportunity cost, or damages arising from pool downtime, software bugs, orphaned blocks, incorrect payouts, blockchain forks, or any other cause — whether based in contract, tort, strict liability, or any other legal theory.

In no event shall FenixPool's total liability to any Miner exceed the total pool fees collected from that Miner's mining activity in the 30 days preceding the claim.

9. Software and Compatibility

FenixPool runs custom and modified open-source mining pool software. While the Operator makes reasonable efforts to ensure correctness, all software is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind. Bugs, calculation errors, protocol incompatibilities, and unexpected behavior may occur. The Operator will make good-faith efforts to investigate and resolve issues but is not obligated to do so within any timeframe.

Miners are responsible for ensuring their mining hardware, firmware, and software are compatible with FenixPool's stratum implementation. Connection issues, rejected shares, or incompatibilities arising from non-standard miner firmware are the Miner's responsibility.

10. Banning and Termination

FenixPool reserves the right to ban, restrict, or disconnect any miner or IP address at any time, for any reason, including but not limited to:

• Submitting excessive invalid shares
• Attempting to exploit pool software or infrastructure
• Abusive behavior toward the Operator or other miners
• Suspected use of the Pool for money laundering or other illegal activity

Pending balances below the minimum payout threshold at the time of termination may be forfeited.

11. Regulatory and Tax Compliance

Mining rewards may constitute taxable income in your jurisdiction. You are solely responsible for understanding and complying with all applicable tax laws, reporting requirements, and regulatory obligations related to your mining activity. FenixPool does not provide tax, legal, or financial advice.

12. Privacy

FenixPool collects and stores operational data necessary to run the pool, including IP addresses, wallet addresses, share submission data, worker names, and user-agent strings. This data is used solely for pool operations (hashrate calculation, payout processing, abuse prevention) and is not sold to third parties. Pool dashboards publicly display wallet addresses, hashrates, and block data — miners who require anonymity should use the pool through a VPN or proxy at their own discretion.

13. Changes to These Terms

The Operator reserves the right to modify these Terms & Conditions at any time. Changes take effect immediately upon posting to the FenixPool website. Continued use of FenixPool services after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

14. Governing Provisions

These terms represent the entire agreement between the Miner and FenixPool regarding use of the Pool's services. If any provision is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full effect. The failure of FenixPool to enforce any right or provision does not constitute a waiver of that right.
