The first sites for collective mining were created by enthusiasts, but soon business people came to them, putting the service of miners on a commercial basis. Many modern pools take a certain bribe not only for the opportunity to work on their server, but also for the withdrawal of funds. Yes, in addition to that, they slightly underestimate the payments, pocketing part of the shares sent to the pool by each farm.
Of course, not everything is so bad, most (95-98%) of the earned assets still reach the miner. And there will always be competitors offering more favorable mining conditions. An example of this is the Hive on pool, organized by the creators of the Hive operating system.
“No more fussing about choosing a reliable mining pool for ETH, ETC and XMR. Get guaranteed high-yield payouts with our PPS + distribution mode. Be as efficient and secure as possible with our servers around the world. “
This announcement can be read on the Hiveon mining pool page. In reality, two servers, EU and NAW, are still working, but the relatively recently organized Hiveon pool takes the sixth place in the hashrate power in the Ethereum network, leaving behind such well-known services as Dwarfpool, Beepool and 2miners.
Hiveon interface and pool registration
The hiveon page is part of the Hive os site . Pool is designed concisely, the transition from one coin to another is performed by clicking on the token icon. Below it is the address bar for monitoring production on the server, even lower is the amount of expected daily earnings with a rig capacity of 100MH / s and the number of blocks found by the pool in the last 24 hours.
The official website of the pool is https://www.hiveon.net
Further, the coordinates of the connection to the server, the chat icon and the support service, carried out through the contact group in Telegram, are located.
Main coins available for mining
As already mentioned in the announcement, the pool works with three altcoins
- Ethereum;
- Ethereum Classic;
- Monero
The owners of mining farms on AMD video cards, with the current coin quotes on the market, by and large do not need anything else. All three cryptocurrencies are at the top of the Coinmarketcap ranking and mining profitability list according to the WhatoMine calculator.It is also profitable to mine ETH and ETC on Nvidia GPUs, especially given the growth dynamics and prospects of these cryptocurrencies.
No separate registration at hiveon.net is required. If you are a Hive os user, you are already registered in the system. Miners who prefer to work on Windows or other Linux assemblies can easily join the pool by performing the standard configuration of the batch file of the crypto-mining utility.
How to set up equipment
If you are mining in a pool, the hiveon pool is configured according to the standard scheme.
- Create a wallet for the selected coin.
- We draw up the flight sheet. It should include
- The wallet that was previously created
- Server, for this we select Hive on pool in the list of mountain pools
- Mining software.
- We save the data and launch the flight sheet.
If you mine cryptocurrency in Windows, then you just need to set up a batch file. Examples of body shirts for eth and etc under claymore.
- setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 1
- setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
- setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
- setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
- setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
- EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool eu-eth.hiveon.net:4444 -ewal WALLET -epsw x
- setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 1
- setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
- setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
- setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
- setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
- EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool eu-etc.hiveon.net:5555 -ewal WALLET -epsw x
Monero hiveon pool executable file for SRB Miner
- setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
- setx GPU_MAX_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
- setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
- setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
- setx GPU_MAX_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
- SRBMiner-CN.exe —ccryptonighttype normalv4 —cpool eu-xmr.hiveon.net:12000 —cwallet WALLET.WORKER NAME
To create a bat file for your mining farm based on this sample:
- Copy the data into Notepad.
- Replace the words WALLET, WORKER NAME with your wallet address and the name of the rig.
- Save the file with the bat extension.
- Rename according to the name of the coin and pool.
- Copy it to the miner folder and start mining.
Important!!! To monitor the operation of the farm, copy the wallet address in the ” Miner Address ” field and click ” Explore “.
When mining Monero, statistics begin to be displayed literally a few seconds after your miner sends the first few shares ( sgare accepted ).
On ETH / ETC, you will have to wait about 10 minutes for statistics to appear. But in principle it does not matter, all your shares will still be taken into account.
Payment of remuneration and commission
At Hive on pool, you get money for every share you accept. This system is called PPS + and is very beneficial, especially for small farms. Under the alternative payout system PPLNS, only shares are taken into account for a certain period of time before the block is signed. The owner of a small barn may, during this period, if it is very short, generally not send shares or send very little. So, it often happens in pools with a large number of miners.Important!! With regard to commissions, things are even better, they simply do not exist. No service fee, no withdrawal fee will be charged.
Withdraw funds
On the pool, the miner makes payments to the wallet specified in the settings automatically. The money will be transferred as soon as you collect the required amount, which is:
- Ethereum 0.1 ETH;
- Ethereum classic 0.1 ETC;
- Monero 0.1 XMR.
The size of the payment is fixed and cannot be changed. I must say that only one or two cryptocurrency data pools can be set to a lower withdrawal threshold.
Key benefits and user feedback
The benefits of joining are obvious:
- No commission fees.
- Payment for each share.
- High enough pool hashrate.
Of course, Hive on pool is inferior to such whales as Ethermine, Nanopool and F2pool , but this does not mean that you will earn more there, especially if you have a farm of 3-4 video cards.
By the way, the owners of Ethereum ASIC miners can also join the hiveon pool, reviews about it on the network are mostly positive.
Set up rigs and successful mining!
