How pool notifications work

Last updated: 5 November 2026

Get alerts on Telegram, Discord, ntfy or web push for blocks, payouts, offline workers and hashrate drops, and learn what is stored. No account needed.

What can the pool alert you about?

The pool can send you an alert when something important happens. You choose which events you want, so you can keep the critical alerts and mute the rest.

  • A block found by the pool.
  • A block you found solo.
  • A payment sent to you.
  • A worker that has gone quiet.
  • A meaningful drop in your hashrate.
  • A pool announcement.

A reply to a support ticket can reach you the same way. You choose its channels on the ticket itself.

The notification settings on the miner dashboard, with a switch for each event.
Each event has its own switch. You pick exactly which ones alert you.

Which channels can deliver your alerts?

Alerts reach you over the channel you prefer:

  • Telegram.
  • Discord.
  • ntfy, an open-source app for push notifications.
  • Web push, a notification sent straight to your browser.

You link a channel once from your dashboard settings. There is still no account. The link only tells the pool where to send your chosen alerts, and you can unlink it at any time.

How do the offline and hashrate-drop alerts work?

The offline alert fires when a worker stops submitting shares for a while. You learn about a dead rig without watching the dashboard.

A hashrate line runs steady and then falls to nothing in red above a dimmed mining card with a red cross. A dotted arrow carries an alert with a bell to a phone, and a robot wearing a headset listens beside it.
When a rig stops or its hashrate drops, the alert reaches your phone.

The hashrate-drop alert warns you when your accepted hashrate falls meaningfully. That often means an unstable overclock, a bad connection or a card that has stopped.

Both are optional. Like every event, they start switched on when you link a channel. You can switch either one off.

What is stored, and who sees it?

Notifications are opt-in. The pool stores only what it needs to deliver them:

  • The channel you linked.
  • Your event choices.
  • A list of the most recent notifications sent to you, so your dashboard can show them.

Your dashboard states how many notifications it keeps and for how long. Nothing is shared with anyone else, and turning an alert off stops it immediately.

Notifications are a convenience on top of mining. They are never a requirement.
