Terms of Use

1. Acceptance of Terms

By connecting a miner, submitting shares, or otherwise interacting with the Pool, you confirm that you have read, understood, and accepted these Terms in full. You must be of legal age in your jurisdiction to use the Pool, and you are solely responsible for ensuring that your use complies with all applicable local laws and regulations.

2. Modifications to These Terms

We may modify these Terms and any related policies at any time, at our sole discretion. Continued use of the Pool after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. We strongly encourage you to follow our official Discord server for announcements, scheduled maintenance, and any updates to this document.

3. Service Description

1pool.org is a multi-algorithm cryptocurrency mining pool that aggregates hashrate from participating miners and distributes block rewards based on submitted shares.

The Pool is built as a self-healing, single-page-app style interface with a strong emphasis on low human interaction. Our design goal was — and remains — easy, simple, straightforward. Once your miner is connected, the system is engineered to keep itself running without requiring you to babysit it. Server selection, load balancing, payout scheduling, and settlement happen automatically in the background.

Rewards are calculated under one of the following payout schemes, depending on the coin and the payout tier applicable to your wallet:

• FPPS — Full Pay Per Share. Includes transaction fees in the reward calculation.
• PPS — Pay Per Share. Fixed reward per valid share, no transaction fees included.
• PPLNS — Pay Per Last N Shares. Reward is distributed over a rolling window of recent shares.
• SOLO — Full block reward to the finder, subject to the pool fee. See Section 5.

The exact payment scheme for each coin is displayed on that coin's expanded panel on the home page. The Pool relays mining traffic to internal mining engines and, where applicable, to upstream infrastructure operated by our settlement partners.

4. Hashrate Control and Data Rights

By using our services, you expressly agree to let us control your hashrate and the flow of data associated with it. This means the Pool may, at its sole discretion:

• Route your hashrate between internal mining engines and external upstream pools.
• Switch the coin, algorithm, or upstream target being mined, at any time, without prior notice.
• Reassign mining sessions between servers, regions, or infrastructure providers.
• Collect, store, and process the mining telemetry (shares, worker IDs, IP addresses, agent strings, ping, and similar data) generated by your connection.
• Use aggregated and anonymised forms of that telemetry for operational and statistical purposes.

This control is fundamental to how the Pool operates — arbitrage, price tracking, settlement, and load balancing all depend on it. If you do not accept this, do not connect your miner to the Pool.

5. Solo Payment System

In addition to the shared reward schemes described in Section 3, 1pool.org supports a SOLO payment system for selected coins, built on top of the open-source MiningCore engine.

• Engine. The Solo infrastructure runs on MiningCore, an open-source mining core. This means the full behaviour of the engine — reward calculation, block detection, submission, and payout — is verifiable by anyone who wants to read the source.
• Availability. Solo is offered on a per-coin, per-availability basis. It is enabled only where it is technically and economically feasible — network difficulty, block cadence, and hardware requirements all determine whether Solo makes sense for a given coin.
• Rewards. Solo rewards are far more variable than shared schemes. You may find several blocks in a day, or none for weeks. This is inherent to Solo and not a defect of the Pool.
• Fee. A pool fee applies to Solo payouts, identical to the fee structure shown on each coin's panel.
• Selection. Where Solo is available, you can select it from the coin's expanded panel. Where it is not available, the coin remains available under FPPS / PPS / PPLNS.

6. No Guarantee of Profitability

Mining profitability depends on factors entirely outside our control — including network difficulty, coin price volatility, blockchain congestion, exchange liquidity, and hardware efficiency. Nothing on this website constitutes financial advice, and no estimate displayed on the Pool — including "24H Income", "Estimated Balance", or any similar metric — is a guarantee of future returns.

Due to our exchange settlement system tracking market prices and arbitrage opportunities in real time to secure the best possible payout price, small fluctuations between the estimated and final balance are normal and expected. The Total Income figure is derived directly from on-chain transaction records and is fully verifiable by any miner.

7. Exchange Risk and Force Majeure

We take no responsibility for loss of funds arising from:

• Force majeure events, network-wide outages, or blockchain reorganizations.
• Hard forks or protocol changes made without coordination with the Pool.
• Mining to an incorrect, invalid, or unsupported wallet address.
• Suspension, termination, or restriction of any exchange account used by the Pool.

Exchanges frequently do not disclose the reasons for account suspension or termination. While we operate strictly within the published terms of every platform we integrate, we acknowledge that accounts may still be closed at the platform's sole discretion.

To mitigate risk, we have implemented automatic payout functionality with a minimum threshold, ensuring that funds are not held on exchanges for extended periods. Once a payout occurs, the safety of those funds becomes entirely your responsibility.

8. Security Recommendations

Your wallet, your keys, your responsibility. We strongly recommend that you:

• Enable 2FA and, where supported, multi-signature protection.
• Use strong, unique passwords for every exchange account.
• Enable IP whitelisting and withdrawal address whitelisting where available.
• Always verify the URL of every crypto exchange you visit — bookmark it.
• Store your wallet seed offline, and encrypt it before any cloud backup.
• Never share your seed phrase, private keys, or exchange credentials with anyone.

We recommend MEXC alongside a self-custody wallet such as Trust Wallet. Only download wallets from official, verified sources.

9. Privacy and Cookies

We use functional cookies stored on your local device to remember your wallet address and your interface preferences (such as dark mode). We do not sell your data to any third party, and we do not monetize your activity in any way.

We use Google Analytics to understand aggregate traffic patterns. Aside from that, we do not track you across other websites, and we do not run any form of in-browser mining ("CoinHive" or otherwise).

DDoS attempts, abuse, or any suspicious activity directed at the Pool will result in an immediate red-flag and may lead to a permanent block of the offending wallet or IP range. Funds on blocked wallets, where above the payout threshold, will be returned. Any permanent ban is applied only after review of the damage caused.

10. Network Abuse and Botnets

Wallets with a large number of miners connecting from many different IP addresses — commonly described as "botnets" — are explicitly allowed on this Pool, provided all mining activity complies with applicable law.

You are solely responsible for the legal status of any hardware or infrastructure you direct to the Pool. We do not verify, audit, or take responsibility for the origin of the hashrate you provide.

11. MEXC Settlement Fees

1pool.org uses the MEXC exchange API for settlement and liquidity. All MEXC transaction fees are collected directly through the MEXC API at the moment of withdrawal — they are applied by MEXC, not by us, and their amounts vary per coin and per network conditions.

• External addresses — Payouts sent to a wallet outside MEXC incur the standard MEXC withdrawal fee for that coin and network.
• Internal MEXC addresses — Payouts sent to an address inside your own MEXC account are processed as internal transfers and cost nothing in network fees.
• BSC BEP20 option — Where available, the BSC BEP20 network provides a lower-fee alternative to main-network withdrawals. Availability depends on the coin.

To use an internal MEXC address, find it in your MEXC account under Deposit → [Coin] → Deposit Address. Paste that address as your mining username exactly as shown, following the same dot-separator rule described in Section 13.

12. Payouts

Payouts are processed once per day, between 13:00 and 16:00 UTC, for all wallets whose balance exceeds the applicable minimum threshold. Delays may occur due to blockchain traffic — most commonly on the Bitcoin network during periods of high congestion. In all cases, funds are safe and will be settled.

Minimum payout thresholds vary per coin and per settlement network (Main Network or BSC BEP20). Current thresholds are shown on each coin's expanded panel on the home page.

13. Miner Configuration Rules

To ensure correct reward attribution, all miners must follow the configuration rules described below. Incorrect configurations will result in uncredited shares, and those rewards will be redistributed among active miners who followed the rules.

1. Wallet address only. Do not mine using an email address, a username, or any identifier that is not a valid wallet address for the selected coin.

2. Correct address format. Different coins require different address formats. Coins with prefixes (Ecash, Conflux, Bitcoin Cash, Kaspa, Nexa, and others) must include the prefix exactly as documented on the coin's panel.

3. Worker separator. Use only a single dot (.) to separate your wallet address from a worker name. Do not use _, -, /, ,, spaces, or any other character.

4. Password field. The password field is used only for debugging on our side. Use any simple string such as x or 123, or leave it empty. Do not use d=difficulty.

5. TLS/SSL. Both plain TCP and TLS/SSL are accepted on the same universal stratum port. Self-signed certificates are supported. Clients that enforce strict certificate pinning are not compatible.

We do not validate wallet addresses on your behalf. It is entirely your responsibility to ensure the address you mine to is valid, correct, and under your control.

14. Subdomain-Specific Rules

Miners may connect to either of the following endpoints:

• 1pool.org — general pool endpoint.
• mexc.1pool.org — MEXC-settlement endpoint. Miners connecting here must use main-network wallet addresses only. Sidechain, wrapped, or bridge addresses are not supported on this subdomain and will not be credited.

Regardless of endpoint, all other rules in these Terms apply equally.

15. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, 1pool.org, its operators, contributors, and affiliates shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Pool — including, without limitation, loss of mining rewards, loss of profits, loss of data, or service interruption.

The Pool is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We make no warranties, express or implied, regarding uptime, accuracy, reliability, or fitness for any particular purpose.

16. Contact

All questions, complaints, and bug reports should be directed to our support address or posted in our official Discord. We respond to emails within 48 hours; Discord is typically faster.
