HashBay

Modern, transparent mining with real-time pool insight.

HashBay is built for serious miners who want clean stats, clear payouts, and a fast path from wallet to hashpower.

Choose a coin to load live stats and fill the setup workspace below. The mining flow stays the priority.

Start Mining

Connect once, copy once, and start hashing. Everything below is organized to get a miner online without hunting through the page.

Quick start by hardware

Pick your miner model first if you want HashBay to preload the right endpoint style, worker format, and walkthrough without guesswork.

Step 1

Pick the right pool endpoint Start with the primary stratum, or enter your hashrate to let HashBay pick the best available difficulty port automatically.

Primary stratum

Best default for most rigs. Alternate endpoint: .

Auto-pick my port

Enter your hashrate and the pool will recommend the best diff profile for that rig.

Your hashrate Unit

Recommended port Enter your hashrate to auto-pick the best available port.

Step 2

Paste These Values Into Your Miner ASIC web UIs usually need only the pool URL, username, and password. Enter your wallet and worker once, then copy the exact fields below.

Wallet Worker Password Port profile

Operator note

Use the active pool above. Keep the password as x unless your miner requires something custom. If you rent hashpower or run a large fleet, use Step 1 to switch to a different difficulty port when available.

Pool URL

Paste this into Pool 1 / URL / Server on your miner.

Username

Wallet plus worker name so each rig stays visible.

Password

Most ASICs can keep this as x.

Worker format

Use your wallet plus a short rig name so you can identify each worker later.

Primary HashBay endpoint

HashBay currently routes traffic through one live endpoint in US East. Use the primary host below for miners. Marketplace presets will use a dedicated higher-difficulty endpoint when the pool offers one.

Primary endpoint: US East

Marketplace rentals above the fold

NiceHash, MiningRigRentals, and Braiins presets stay visible here so rental traffic can start without opening the advanced section.

Pool payout rules

Payout policy.

Approval.

Payout scheme.

Pool fee.

HashBay covers payout transaction fees for miners. If network fee data is temporarily unavailable, payout setting changes may wait for manual approval.

Live pool snapshot

Active miners.

Active workers.

Shares (window).

Blocks found.

If your rig is far below or above the rest of the pool hashrate, use the auto-pick tool to move to a better difficulty port.

From first shares to first pending balance

This is the shortest path from wallet address to visible activity and pending rewards. Use it as the no-guesswork walkthrough for new miners and hobbyists.

1 Pick your hardware page

Choose the exact miner family so HashBay preloads the right endpoint style, worker naming, and quickstart text.

2 Paste pool URL, worker, and password

Use the live HashBay endpoint and keep the worker format as WALLET.WORKER so every rig remains visible.

3 Watch first shares arrive

The wallet and transparency views show accepted shares first, then pending block balance once a block is found.

4 See pending become payout-ready

New blocks show as pending first, then move to confirmed after on-chain maturity. Payout-ready balance is always the safe balance.

Ports

Optional command builder

Use this only if your miner expects a CLI command instead of simple pool fields. It follows the active pool above and the wallet, worker, password, and port you already entered in Step 2.

Understanding PPLNS & Payouts

Operational data stays above. The cards below explain what payout variance means and how HashBay calculates it.

How payouts work

PPLNS: rewards are split across the last N shares before each block. Your payout is proportional to your share contribution inside that window.

PPS: pays per share immediately at a fixed rate with lower variance and higher fee burden.

Fees: HashBay covers payout transaction fees for miners. If network fee data is unavailable, payout-setting changes can be queued for manual review.

Formula (PPLNS): payout = (your_share_score / total_share_score) * (block_reward - pool_fee).

PPLNS, translated into normal English

PPLNS is a loyalty model, not an earnings goblin. HashBay frames it around what miners actually care about: cost, visibility, and whether always-on rigs get credited fairly.

Lower fee burden PPLNS avoids the extra smoothing overhead most PPS-style systems have to price in. On HashBay, miners also keep payout transaction fees off their backs.

No artificial smoothing games Your payout tracks real pool performance and real found blocks instead of synthetic flatlining that hides how the pool actually performed.

Direct relationship to pool performance When the pool is lucky, loyal miners see it directly. When the pool has a rough window, the variance is visible instead of disguised.

Better for always-on miners Steady rigs keep their share window warm. Short burst sessions still work, but the best fit is miners who stay connected.

Why your payout changed today

These are the main reasons wallet totals move around under PPLNS.

FAQ

Quick answers for new miners and pool operators.

What wallet address format should I use?

Use a standard address for the coin you are mining. The worker format is WALLET.WORKER. If your miner does not support a worker name, just use the wallet address alone.

Which stratum port should I pick?

If the pool publishes multiple difficulty ports, lower-hashrate rigs should use the lower-difficulty option and larger fleets should use the higher-difficulty option. The port list in "Start Mining" stays updated per coin.

When do payouts happen?

New rewards show up as pending after a block is found, then move to confirmed once the block matures on-chain. Auto payouts use confirmed balance only, so orphaned blocks never get paid out early.

Why do I see zero shares or hashrate?

The summary uses a sliding window. If no shares are submitted in the selected window, values can show zero. Try a larger window or check your miner connection.

Where can I find the API endpoints?

Pool stats are available at /api/summary, /api/top-miners, /api/blocks/recent, /api/blocks/heights, /api/hashrate-series, and /api/network. Append ?poolId=COIN_ID.

What payout scheme does the pool use?

Payout details are shown per pool in the "Start Mining" panel and the coin modal. If you are unsure, check the pool card for live payout policy and fee.
