The PPBE Model

Pay Per Block Effort — Everyone gets paid for their real work, with a meaningful bonus for the block finder.

25%
Block Finder Bonus
Your share solved the block? You get a 25% bonus on top of your effort share.
+
75%
Effort-Based Split
Remaining reward split proportionally among all workers based on verified proof-of-work.
Real Work Real Pay

Real Work = Real Pay

Payouts calculated from verified shares with double SHA256 validation. Your miner's reported hashrate is irrelevant—only actual proof-of-work counts.

Smart Vardiff

Smart Vardiff

Difficulty adjusts every 10-15 seconds to match your hardware. Starts at your lifetime average so you ramp up instantly, not from scratch.

Worker Identity

Worker-Based Identity

Simple registration: username, password, BTC address. No complex multi-miner accounts. Each worker is independent—run as many as you need.

Secure Stratum

Secure Stratum Access

We support Stratum v1 over TLS (stratum+ssl) on port 3333. Miners must support Stratum over SSL/TLS. For older miners, a local TLS wrapper (stunnel) or non-TLS port is required.

Full Transparency

Full Transparency

Every share, every difficulty adjustment, every payout—publicly verifiable. Real-time stats on the console. No opaque payout tricks.

Zero Fees

Zero Hidden Fees

Pool operates on donations. No percentage skimmed from your blocks. What the network pays, you and your fellow miners receive.

Built for Small Miners

XTRATUM is designed specifically for the miners the big pools ignore. Your hardware matters here.
