Terms and risk disclosure

Read this before pointing hashrate at the pool. It describes what the pool does with your rewards and what happens when things go wrong.

This is a custodial service. Between the moment a block matures and the moment a payout transaction confirms, your rewards are held in a wallet controlled by the pool operator — the custodian. You are trusting the custodian to hold and remit those funds. There is no on-chain mechanism enforcing that obligation.

Who operates this pool

The pool is operated by an individual operator based in Australia, referred to here as the custodian.

What the pool does

The pool accepts mining shares, credits them under a difficulty-weighted PPLNS model, submits found blocks to the Nervos CKB network, and pays matured rewards to the payout address you supply as your mining username, less the pool fee shown on the site.

Risks you accept by mining here

Custody risk. Rewards held pending payout could be lost through operator error, key loss, theft, or insolvency. There is no insurance and no deposit guarantee.
Orphaned blocks. A block that leaves the canonical chain pays nothing. Credits from an orphaned block are reversed, including credits already shown as immature in your balance.
Payout address errors. Payouts go to the address in your mining username. An address you do not control, or a mistyped one, cannot be recovered. Verify it before you start.
Availability. The pool may be unavailable, may be discontinued, or may change its fee or minimum payout. Notice will be given where practical but is not guaranteed.
No warranty. The service is provided as is, without warranty of any kind, to the maximum extent permitted by law.

Fees

The pool fee and minimum payout in force are published live on the site and are read from the running pool configuration, not written into these terms. The current values are: loading…

Data

The pool records your payout address, worker names, submitted shares, and payouts. The public pages show mining statistics and shortened payout addresses. Full payout addresses are shown only on a lookup of that specific address, which anyone may perform — the same visibility a block explorer provides. The pool does not publish IP addresses or session identifiers.

The public payments feed also publishes the on-chain transaction hash each payout was included in. On-chain verifiability is the point of publishing it — anyone can confirm a payout actually happened. But it also means anyone can take that transaction hash to a CKB block explorer and look up the full, un-truncated payout address and the exact amount paid, for every payout the pool has made. Treat any payout you receive from this pool as visible on the public blockchain, because it is.

Changes

These terms may change. Continuing to mine after a change constitutes acceptance of it.
