About C64 Chain (C64) mining
C64 Chain (ticker C64) is a community proof-of-work chain with a retro-computing identity, mined on the RandomWOW algorithm — a member of the RandomX family. That single fact tells you almost everything you need: this is CPU mining. No GPU farm, no ASIC, just the processor you may already own, an open-source miner, and a pool. This guide walks through exactly how to set it up and what determines whether it pays.
C64 Chain secures its network with RandomWOW, a tuned variant of RandomX — the algorithm class purpose-built to favor general-purpose CPUs. RandomX-family algorithms execute randomized programs that exercise the CPU's integer, floating-point, and memory subsystems, which makes specialized hardware pointless and keeps mining open to anyone with a desktop.
What decides your hashrate is mostly cache and memory: CPUs with large L3 caches (modern AMD Ryzen, especially the high-core-count parts) lead the field, and enabling huge pages in your operating system typically adds a double-digit percentage to throughput. Power draw is a desktop CPU's normal load wattage, so the economics hinge on cheap electricity and the coin's market price.
Mining software: XMRig is the standard open-source miner — select the RandomWOW variant with -a rx/wow. SRBMiner-Multi also supports RandomX-family algorithms on CPU.

How do I start mining C64 on this pool?
Point your miner at stratum+tcp://stratum.miningboard.com:4446 with your own C64 wallet address as the username (add any worker name after a dot, e.g. yourwallet.rig1). The Connect & mine box above gives copy-paste commands for popular miners — paste your wallet address there and the commands personalize automatically. No registration is required.
What does "Maturing" mean on a block?
When the pool finds a block, the network requires a number of confirmations before that block's reward can be spent — during that window the block shows as Maturing and its reward is an estimate. Once confirmed, the exact on-chain reward appears and is credited to miners. If a block is orphaned by the network it pays nothing, which is normal across all pools.
Why do C64 rewards unlock gradually?
C64 Chain enforces reward vesting at the consensus level: every block reward unlocks in four equal parts — 25% after about 24 hours, then 25% each at 30, 60 and 90 days. This applies to every C64 pool and miner and is designed to prevent reward dumping. Your balance is credited in full right away; on-chain payouts draw from the portions as they unlock.
How are rewards shared (what is PPLNS)?
This pool uses PPLNS (Pay Per Last N Shares): when a block is found, its reward is split across the shares submitted in the recent window, proportional to your contribution. PPLNS rewards loyal miners and smooths out luck — you earn from every block the pool finds while you are mining, even with a small rig.
Read the full PPLNS guide →When do I get paid?
Earnings are credited to your balance after each block confirms. Once your balance reaches the minimum payout of 10.0 C64, the pool sends coins to your wallet address automatically — payouts are on-chain transactions you can verify in any explorer. Track your balance any time by pasting your address in the dashboard box above.
Compare pool payout schemes →What is the pool fee?
The pool fee is 0.0%. There are no hidden costs — block rewards and transaction fees are distributed to miners via PPLNS.
Why does the dashboard hashrate differ from my miner?
The dashboard shows your effective hashrate, calculated from the shares your rig actually submits, averaged over roughly the last 10 minutes. Your miner reports raw device speed. The two converge over time — short dips and spikes are normal, especially right after connecting.
