Frequently Asked Questions

One flat fee on the blocks the pool shares out and one on the blocks a solo miner keeps. Both current figures are shown live on the pool statistics; they are deducted automatically from rewards, and there are no other charges.

Automatically every hour, as soon as your confirmed balance passes the minimum payout. Payments are non-custodial and go straight to your own Qubitcoin (bc1…, 1… or 3…) wallet.

No. There is no account and no KYC. Your Qubitcoin wallet address is your login, and you keep full control of your coins the whole time.

Yes. Add the solo prefix to your address to mine for whole blocks instead of shared rewards. Solo has a fee of its own, shown live on the pool statistics beside the pool fee.

The connect guide auto-selects the lowest-latency region for you, with a dedicated route for ISP-blocked countries.

A recent NVIDIA, AMD or Intel graphics card.

qhash hashes the block header with SHA-256, uses that result to set the angles of a simulated 16-qubit circuit, and hashes the first hash together with the circuit's measured output with SHA-256 again. The pool sends your miner a job, your GPU searches for nonces, and every result that meets your share difficulty is submitted as a share and checked before it counts. The network aims for a block every 10 minutes.

A recent NVIDIA, AMD or Intel graphics card. The GPU benchmarks on the About Qubitcoin page rank the cards measured on qhash by hashrate and by efficiency.

Qubitcoin uses Bitcoin's address formats: bech32 addresses starting with bc1q, Taproot addresses starting with bc1p, and legacy addresses starting with 1 or 3. The pool checks your address at login and tells you if it is not a valid Qubitcoin address.

It has the same format, so a Bitcoin address is also a valid Qubitcoin address. Only mine to an address whose wallet you control on the Qubitcoin network: QTC sent to an exchange's Bitcoin deposit address is not credited to you.

Each block pays a subsidy plus the transaction fees in that block. The subsidy started at 50 QTC and halves every 210,000 blocks, about every four years, toward a maximum supply of 21 million QTC, the same schedule as Bitcoin. There is no developer fee on the reward.

The same port, 1195, serves both. Use stratum+tcp:// for a plain connection or stratum+ssl:// for an encrypted one.

Yes, prefix your wallet address with "solo:" when connecting. In solo mode you receive the full block reward (minus the solo fee) for blocks you find yourself, but with much higher variance than pool mining.

We take your hash rate as a share of the whole network, multiply by the blocks found per day and the reward, then take off the pool fee and, if you enter them, your power cost and miner-software fee. That gives your estimated earnings per day, week, month and year. Change any field and it updates at once.

No. Add each graphics card you run and set how many of each, mixing different models freely, and the calculator sums the total hash rate and power from our qhash benchmarks. You can still edit the totals to match your own overclock or undervolt.

It is the power price where your earnings exactly cover your power bill. Pay less than that per kWh and you mine at a profit; pay more and you mine at a loss. It is the quickest way to tell if a rig is worth running.

These are estimates, not a promise. Your real payout depends on the pool's luck, your average (not peak) hash rate, and the difficulty, which all move over time. QTC and BTC price swings change the totals too. Use it to plan, not as a guarantee.

When you find a block, you keep the whole reward instead of sharing it with the pool (minus a small solo fee). The catch is luck: you might hit a few blocks in a good week, or none for a long time.

It depends on your hash rate against the whole network. The headline shows the median, the point where you have a 50% chance of a block by then, and the average gap between blocks. Because it is random, long dry spells followed by a sudden win are normal.

There are 100 dots and each filled dot is 1% of your chance of finding at least one block in the selected time. 37 filled dots means a 37% chance. It is a picture of your odds, not a countdown.

Solo fits big rigs and miners who can wait a long time for the chance of a full block. Want steady, predictable payouts? Normal pool mining is usually better, small rewards paid often for your work. Check your odds here first.
