By using a +randomvalue after your email, it is harder for someone to know your account. You don't need to create such specific email account. By default email sent, for example, on satoshi+1234@nakamoto.com lend on satoshi@nakamoto.com.
Your account was created without password. You can only request email payout. If you wish to create a regular account with the same email, simply add a wildcard in your email e.g. satoshi+randomvalue@nakamoto.com and don't forget to specify a password in Stratum!
Make sure you miner is submitting share. It can take a few minutes before your miner appears on your dashboard.
We compute your hashrate based on the number of shares you submitted in the last 10 minutes. If you want to check your effective hashrate (hashrate based on the number of valid shares submitted) on Grinmint, you can do the following:
  • Take N, the number of shares submitted in the last hour.
  • Compute the following: GPS = D*42*N/3600, D is the pool difficulty. Currently 4.
    • Finally, most of the mining software are overestimating your hashrate.
    We pay the payouts on a first come first serve basis. Please be patient your payout will arrive.
    PPLNG stands for Pay Per Last N Graphs. Everytime we find a block we:
  • Look at the shares submitted in the last hour.
  • Each share is assigned a share value based on its graph weight (C33 is worth more than C32)
  • We make a sum of this weights and we divide the block reward (including transaction fee) by it. This give us a base reward per share regardless of the graph weight.
  • We pay each user by multiplying this base reward per share with the number of shares of a type per block and the share value of this type of share.

    Grin is an experimental coin: use at your own risk! Grinmint does not guarantee any return on mining time or hashpower. You are strongly encouraged to move your rewards off the pool as often as possible into a wallet that you control. Although Grinmint takes multiple precautions to keep our users' coins safe, we do not offer any guarantee against hacks or loss. Grinmint is not a wallet. You, the user, assume the risk for any coins left on Grinmint. 60 days after coin maturity, your coins are considered expired and you will no longer be able to request payouts for them.
