Hello TopGold community,

I operate AethelBlock, a new multi-coin mining pool. This thread is our introduction and a place to answer technical questions, with a particular focus on Quantus (QTC), which uses QPoW/Poseidon2.

For miners comparing the two QTC modes:
• PPLNS distributes a pool block reward across the eligible share window. Accepted shares do not themselves mean that a block has been found.
• SOLO assigns the block reward to the miner who finds that block, after the pool fee. Connecting more workers does not guarantee a block or a regular income.

Our QTC pool fee is 1%, with a 0.1 QTC minimum payout. Payout checks run hourly: a payment still requires an eligible mature balance and available funds. Network transaction fees apply separately. Hourly checks should not be confused with guaranteed hourly earnings.

A practical check when starting: select the correct coin and mode, use the connection instructions on that page, then look up your mining address under “My miner”. Check accepted shares and worker activity separately from immature rewards and payable balance. A connected worker can be submitting valid shares while its balance remains zero if no eligible block reward has yet been earned.

The website also covers Pearl, Beam, Ravencoin, Neurai, Ergo, Zano, Aeternity and Alephium, with public pool statistics, mining guides, multiple languages and a GPU calculator. Ethereum Classic is currently marked INACTIVE while being prepared.

We are still building our miner community. Questions about setup, PPLNS versus SOLO, or reading the dashboard are welcome here. Any calculator figures are estimates; actual mining results depend on hardware, power costs, network conditions and block-finding variance.

AethelBlock pool update: NEX Chain (NEXC) is now supported. Algorithm: Ethash (ETHPROXY).

PPLNS: nexc-pool.aethelblock.com:3082
SOLO: nexc-solo.aethelblock.com:3083

Both modes have a 1% pool fee and a 1 NEXC minimum payout. Use your public NEXC address as the username and x as the password. Setup, stats and block history: https://aethelblock.com/nex-chain/?lang=en

AethelBlock pool update: Monero (XMR) is available for CPU mining with RandomX. Choose PPLNS to share rewards from pool blocks, or SOLO to receive the reward for a block you find. The minimum payout is 0.01 XMR, and automatic payouts run hourly for eligible balances. In the Monero dashboard, choose your mode to find the connection settings and check your worker after your miner starts submitting accepted shares.
