Mining on a pool allows you to combine your hashrate with other miners. Instead of waiting to find a block on your own, the pool finds blocks collectively and distributes rewards among all participants. This makes earnings more regular and predictable compared to solo mining.

​
Prerequisites

  • Installed GPU mining software such as Ethminer.
  • An account address to receive rewards.
  • The URL of a Parallax mining pool (for example, stratum+tcp://<POOL_URL>:4444).

​
Step-by-step Guide

1

Choose a mining pool

Pick a Parallax mining pool from the official list (coming soon).Pools usually provide two connection URLs:
  • Stratum+TCP: for most miners
  • SSL: for secure connections (optional)
2

Run your miner

Use Ethminer (or another Ethash-compatible miner) to connect to the pool.Example command with Ethminer:
ethminer -P stratum+tcp://<YOUR_ADDRESS>@<POOL_URL>:4444
Replace <YOUR_ADDRESS> with your Parallax wallet address.
Replace <POOL_URL> with the mining pool URL.
  • No password is required for most pools.
  • You can add a worker name like <YOUR_ADDRESS>.worker1 to track multiple rigs.
3

Confirm shares are submitted

If everything is working, you’ll see logs like:
m  16:12:42|ethminer  Accepted share #42
Each accepted share means your miner contributed valid work to the pool.
4

Check pool dashboard

Most pools provide a web dashboard where you can enter your address to see:
  • Current hashrate
  • Number of accepted shares
  • Pending rewards
  • Payout history

​
Tips & Troubleshooting

  • If you see rejected shares, check your GPU settings or lower overclocking.
  • Always choose a pool with servers close to your region for lower latency.
  • Make sure your wallet address is correct — rewards cannot be recovered.
