Use an XBT address, not a Bitcoin address
Your username must be an XBT address: your own XBT wallet, or your XBT deposit address on
Neoxa Exchange. Do not use a Bitcoin address from an exchange or service that does not support XBT.
XBT sent there cannot be credited, and nobody can get it back for you.
How payouts work
Spam2XBT mines Bitcoin on SHA-256 and pays miners in XBT, which runs on BLAKE2b. Three things have to happen between a block and a payout.
- A block is found. The Bitcoin reward waits 101 confirmations before it can be spent, so it can no longer be reversed by a chain reorganisation.
- The BTC is converted. It goes to Neoxa Exchange and is worked into XBT with resting buy orders rather than by taking the market, so the price is not pushed up against the miners being paid.
- The XBT is shared out. Each miner gets a share proportional to the work they contributed recently, under PPLNS, sent to the address they mined with.
The pool fee is 0%. The whole block reward is shared among miners; the pool keeps none of it. A coinbase reward cannot be spent until it has 100 confirmations, which takes roughly 17 hours, so settlement runs within 24 hours of a block being found. No block has been found yet, so no payout has been made yet.
