Rhino Miner Pool

The Rhino Miner Pool is a dedicated mining pool for Rhino Miner Coin using the YespowerR16 algorithm. This guide explains how to use the pool website to track your mining activity and understand your earnings.

What is the Pool?

The Rhino Miner Pool coordinates the mining efforts of many miners:

• Combines Hashrate: All miners work together
• Finds Blocks: Pool solves blocks faster than solo mining
• Distributes Rewards: Everyone gets paid based on their contribution
• Provides Statistics: Real-time tracking of your mining
• Automated Payouts: Get paid automatically when you reach threshold

Accessing the Pool

• Height: Block number on blockchain
• Hash: Unique block identifier
• Reward: RMC paid for finding this block
• Time: When block was found
• Finder: Which wallet found the block (shares are credited to everyone)

What This Means:

• Each block found = pool gets rewarded
• Reward is split among all miners by contribution
• More blocks = more payouts to miners
• You get credited even if you didn't "find" the specific block

Payments Page

View all payments the pool has made:

Summary Cards:

• Total Payments: Number of payment transactions

What This Means:

• Pool pays out automatically on schedule
• Payments are batched (multiple miners paid at once)
• Your payment is included when you reach minimum threshold
• All payments are public on the blockchain

How Shares Work

What is a Share?

A share is proof you're mining:

• Your browser/miner finds a solution
• Submits it to the pool
• Pool validates and credits you
• Shares determine your portion of block rewards

Share Statistics

Total Shares (Difficulty):

• Cumulative shares you've submitted
• Higher number = more work done
• Directly affects your earnings

Valid Shares:

• Shares accepted by the pool
• These count toward your payments

Rejected Shares:

• Shares that arrived too late or were invalid
• A few rejections are normal (<2%)
• Many rejections indicate a problem (check internet connection)

How Rewards are Calculated

Simple Formula:

Your Reward = (Your Shares / Total Pool Shares) × Block Reward

Example:

• Pool finds a block worth 50 RMC
• Pool has 1,000,000 total shares
• You submitted 10,000 shares
• Your reward: (10,000 / 1,000,000) × 50 = 0.5 RMC

Remember:

• Your shares accumulate over time
• Pool uses PPLNS (Pay Per Last N Shares) system
• Your last X shares determine your payment
• Keep mining consistently for best results

Understanding Hashrate

What is Hashrate?

Hashrate is how fast you're mining:

• Measured in H/s (hashes per second)
• Higher hashrate = more shares = more earnings
• Shows as "kH/s" (thousands) or "MH/s" (millions)

Types of Hashrate

Reported Hashrate:

• What your miner says it's doing
• Theoretical maximum

Calculated Hashrate:

• What the pool actually observes
• Based on shares received
• More accurate than reported
• Updates every few minutes

Average Hashrate:

• Mean over last 24 hours or 7 days
• Smooths out variance
• Best indicator of actual performance

Reading Hashrate

Example Hashrates:

• 500 H/s: Low-end CPU, mobile device
• 2,000 H/s: Mid-range CPU
• 5,000 H/s: High-end CPU
• 10,000+ H/s: Very powerful CPU or multiple devices

Hashrate Display:

• Auto-formats to readable units
• 1,500 H/s shows as "1.5 kH/s"
• 2,500,000 H/s shows as "2.5 MH/s"

Payment System

Automatic Payouts

The pool pays automatically:

When You Get Paid:

• Pool runs payment script on schedule (every few hours or daily)
• Checks all balances against minimum threshold
• Sends RMC to everyone who reached minimum
• Transaction appears on blockchain in ~1-2 minutes

Minimum Payout:

• Set by pool operator (typically 1-10 RMC)
• Shown on your worker stats page
• Prevents paying tiny amounts (fee would be too high)
• Balance accumulates until you reach minimum

Payment Schedule:

• Pool processes payments regularly
• Check "Payments" page for recent activity
• Frequency depends on pool configuration
• Usually daily or every few hours

Tracking Your Payments

On Pool Website:

1. Go to your Worker Stats (Dashboard)
2. Scroll to "Payment History" section
3. See list of all payments to your address
4. Shows: Date, Amount, Transaction ID

On Block Explorer:

1. Visit explorer.rhinominer.rocks
2. Search your wallet address
3. View all incoming transactions
4. Confirm payments arrived

In Your Wallet:

1. Open wallet.rhinominer.rocks
2. Log in with your mnemonic
3. Check transaction history
4. See balance increase as payments arrive

Payment Confirmations

Transaction Process:

1. Broadcast: Pool sends payment transaction
2. Pending: Appears on blockchain unconfirmed
3. Confirming: Blocks are added (1, 2, 3...)
4. Confirmed: After 6 blocks (~6 minutes)
5. Spendable: You can now send this RMC

Checking Status:

• 0 confirmations: Just sent, wait a few minutes
• 1-5 confirmations: Being confirmed
• 6+ confirmations: Fully confirmed, funds are secure

Common Questions

Why is my hashrate fluctuating?

This is normal! Hashrate varies because:

• Shares are found randomly
• Pool calculates from recent shares
• Network variance
• Look at your average hashrate for accuracy

Why haven't I been paid yet?

Check these:

• Have you reached minimum payout? (Check your pending balance)
• Is the pool on its payment schedule? (Check Payments page for last payment time)
• Is your wallet address correct? (Check worker stats page)
• Are you actively mining? (Need to submit recent shares)

Usually:

• Keep mining until you reach minimum threshold
• Payment comes automatically on next schedule
• Be patient—balance is not lost, just accumulating

Why did my share count reset?

This can happen after a pool restart.

• When the pool restarts (maintenance, updates, or outages), the share counters reset.
• This reset does not affect payouts or your accumulated balance.
• The pool still tracks your contributions for payment; the on-page share count is a running display, not your payout history.

How many workers should I use?

One worker per device:

• Desktop computer: Use one worker name (e.g., "desktop")
• Laptop: Use different worker name (e.g., "laptop")
• Phone: Use another worker name (e.g., "phone")

Why separate workers:

• Track each device individually
• See which device performs best
• Troubleshoot specific devices
• All earnings go to same wallet address

What if I stop mining?

Your balance stays safe:

• Pending balance remains on pool
• You can come back anytime
• Balance still there when you return
• Will get paid when you reach threshold (even if you stopped mining)

Note: Some pools may have inactivity policies (e.g., 6 months), but your balance should be safe for extended periods.

Can I mine with multiple addresses?

Yes! You can mine with different wallet addresses:

• Add each address to your dashboard
• Track each one separately
• Each has its own balance
• Each gets paid independently

Why you might:

• Different wallets for different purposes
• Testing different mining setups
• Mining for multiple people
• Separating earnings

Tips for Best Experience

Monitoring Your Mining

1. Add to Dashboard: Save your wallet address to pool dashboard
2. Check Regularly: Monitor hashrate and shares
3. Watch for Issues: Drop in hashrate or high rejects = problem
4. Track Payments: Verify you're getting paid as expected
5. Use Block Explorer: Confirm transactions on blockchain

Maximizing Earnings

1. Mine Consistently: Don't start and stop frequently
2. Multiple Devices: More devices = more hashrate = more earnings
3. Stable Connection: Reduce rejected shares with good internet
4. Monitor Performance: Ensure hashrate matches expectations
5. Consider Account Type: Paid accounts at monerominer.rocks have no 10% fee

Troubleshooting

Low Hashrate:

• Check miner is actually running
• Verify browser tab is active
• Ensure good CPU/device performance
• See Browser Miner Guide for optimization

High Rejects:

• Check internet connection stability
• Verify wallet address is correct
• Try closer/different pool if available
• Restart browser and reconnect

No Shares Showing:

• Wait 1-2 minutes for first share
• Refresh pool stats page
• Verify miner shows "Mining" status
• Check wallet address matches exactly
