Why Tyger Pool

We're not neutral. This pool exists because we want this chain to win. We run our own nodes, we mined this chain back when a block was worth nothing, and we'd rather see it succeed than squeeze a fee out of it β€” the fee just keeps the lights on. Since the new chain's first day we've mined 130+ blocks ourselves, solo, on the same gateway software this pool runs.

And some honesty, before someone else says it for us: a pool that holds your coins β€” even for a few hours between block and payout β€” is not what this chain is about. This is the training-wheels version. It exists because plugging in one machine shouldn't require running a full node first. The real version pays you inside the winning block itself, so your coins never touch us at all. We're building that now, and this page will show the progress until it ships. If another pool gets there first and does it better, point your miner at them with our blessing. Until then: transparent rules, published numbers, and a human who answers.

Just bought a miner?

Never mined before? Pick your machine. Every step gets a photo from our own rigs β€” the ones marked "photo coming" are being reshot on real hardware.

Goldshell HS5 / HS-Lite
  1. What's in the box, what you need: the miner, its power supply, an ethernet cable, and a router with a free port. No software to install.

  2. Plug in ethernet and power. Nothing else. Fans spin up loud β€” normal.
  3. Find it on your network: open your router's device list and look for "goldshell", or use Goldshell's finder tool from their site. Open the address it shows in your browser. Default login: [to be verified on our unit β€” photo coming].

  4. Pool settings: paste the PPLNS address from the Connect box above into "Pool", your coin address + .worker1 as "User", and x as "Pass".

  5. Save and wait two minutes. The dashboard above should count you in "Miners". "Accepted shares" on your miner = proof your work is landing. Your first payout takes about a day: block rewards must wait 100 blocks (the chain's own maturity rule) before anyone β€” including us β€” can move them.
  6. Not working? The three classics: wrong port number (use exactly what the Connect box shows), a typo in your address (copy-paste it, never type it), or the miner on wifi β€” these machines need a cable.
Antminer A3
  1. What's in the box, what you need: miner, PSU (sold separately on some units β€” check), ethernet cable, router.
    photo coming β€” box contents, shot on our A3
  2. Plug in ethernet and power. Nothing else.
  3. Find it on your network: router device list, look for "antminer". Open that address in a browser. Default login: [to be verified on our unit β€” photo coming].
  4. Pool settings: Miner Configuration tab β†’ Pool 1 URL = the PPLNS address from the Connect box; Worker = your coin address + .worker1; Password = x. Leave Pool 2/3 empty.

  5. Save & Apply, wait two minutes, then check the dashboard above. First payout takes ~a day (100-block reward maturity β€” the chain's rule, not ours).
  6. Not working? Wrong port, typo'd address, or wifi instead of ethernet. Copy-paste everything.
Something else that mines Blake2b

Any Blake2b (Sia-style) stratum miner works. The recipe is always the same: pool URL and port from the Connect box, your coin address as the username (add .anyworkername to tell machines apart), password x. If your machine wants an "algorithm" setting, it's blake2b. If it mines but everything is rejected, your firmware may predate the fork's header format β€” ask us before buying anything.

Where do I get a coin address? (honest answer)

Wallet options for this chain are thin right now β€” that's the truth of a young fork. The safe route today is the chain's own full software, Bitcoin Knots (BLAKE2b fork build): heavy (it downloads the chain), but it's the same code the network runs, and its wallet gives you an address that is yours alone. A lighter community wallet exists ("Fortis") β€” we haven't finished vetting it, so we won't recommend it yet; when we have, this section will say so. Do not mine to an exchange address: most exchanges don't credit this chain, and coins sent to them may be gone.
