Vertcoin VTC

Point your miner at stratum+tcp://stratum.miningboard.com:4445 with your own VTC 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.

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.

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.

Earnings are credited to your balance after each block confirms. Once your balance reaches the minimum payout of 0.1 VTC, 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.

The pool fee is 0.0%. There are no hidden costs — block rewards and transaction fees are distributed to miners via PPLNS.

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.
