Pool info & transparency
Everything a miner should know before pointing hashrate at PullSignal — payout rules, every fee, difficulty options, security, data policy and support, in one place. No surprises.
Payouts & fees
| Payout scheme | PPLNS for pool mining, plus dedicated Solo mode. PPLNS smooths rewards across recent shares and resists pool-hopping. |
|---|---|
| Pool fee | 0% — the same rate for pool and solo. Taken from the block reward before distribution; you never pre-pay. |
| Transfer / network fee | None to you. The pool covers the on-chain transaction fee on payouts — you receive your full balance. |
| Minimum payout | 1 PRL |
| Payout frequency | Automatic, hourly, batched into one transaction. |
| Block maturity | Rewards are credited only after a block reaches 100 confirmations. Orphaned blocks never pay — so balances only ever move for confirmed blocks. |
Difficulty
| VarDiff | On by default — difficulty auto-tunes per worker to ~1 share every 10s, so small and large rigs are both efficient. |
|---|---|
| Static difficulty | Supported. Set a fixed difficulty with the password directive d=<value> (e.g. d=65536). Combine with solo as solo;d=65536. |
Connection & security
| Pool (PPLNS) port | stratum.pullsignal.co:3360 |
|---|---|
| Solo port | stratum.pullsignal.co:3361 |
| SSL / TLS port | stratum.pullsignal.co:3443 — encrypted stratum (stratum+ssl). |
| Custody | Non-custodial. Your wallet, your keys — the pool only ever pays out to the address you mine with. No account, no signup. |
Stats, data & transparency
| Worker stats | Per-worker hashrate, shares and last-share time on the miner dashboard. |
|---|---|
| 30-day effort | Pool luck (effort %) over the last 30 days is published on the dashboard — under 100% is good luck, over 100% is bad luck. |
| Payments export | Download your full payment history as CSV from your miner page, or pull JSON from /api/miner?address=…. |
| Public ledger | Every block found and payout sent is public on the blocks & payments feed, with transaction IDs you can verify on-chain. |
| Open API | Live pool + network stats are open at /api/stats — verify us, don't just trust us. |
| Data retention | Individual shares are pruned after 48 hours (they're only needed for the live PPLNS window). Your balances and payment history are retained indefinitely. |
Reliability & support
| Status & outages | Live component status and an outage history are on the status page, refreshing every 30s. |
|---|---|
| Rig-offline alerts | Free phone push the moment a worker drops (and when it recovers) — set an ntfy topic on your miner page. |
| Support | Email hello@pullsignal.co. We respond to miner questions directly. |
| Updates | We post changes and incidents publicly via our guides and social channels — no silent changes. |
