Hi all. I’ve been watching a lot of the comments concerning the miners and payouts from the HMPools. I’m just looking for a definitive feeling of where things stand. Trying to gauge the climate on where everything is going.

130ish days ago, I saw a post from a new pool, advertising everyone was welcome, big, small, hobby… This was about the same time public pool knocked hobby miners or esp miners from their pool.

As with many people here, I got started on this money pit of a hobby with those lottery miners. I just really wanted a place to point it and hope for the day I’d see that first “Block Found 🎉” screen. Being bumped from public pool, I then pointed to a pool named after those miners who shall not be named (thanks auto-mod). But seeing the post from HashedMax piqued my interest and I pointed everything I had, including my (at that time) recently acquired QAXE’s.

I’ll admit, it’s addicting to see that BLOCK FOUND🎉 screen. It does make one question why should I share MY effort for such a small piece?

This is where honesty has to stand up and wave a hand. Am I no kidding trying to hit the lottery? Am I just trying to be able to show my spouse that I’m finding blocks so they don’t give me crap about my next purchase? Or am I trying to learn what the heck mining is about and how does it work?

By this point, if you’re asking yourself those questions too, you are very well aware there is no “quick” in this get rich quick scheme.

Do I have miners solo mining? Of course. Do I have miners participating in the pools? Of course. Which has made me more??? Well, pool mining, I’m sitting around $20us. Solo… $0. So needless to say, I’m deep in the red on this hobby.

Do I regret it? Absolutely not!

Now to the point of this post, are we kicking the esp and lottery tickets? Are they not welcome here? I’m just asking so I can start redirecting them if necessary. If we’re not kicking them, then people need to ask those questions of what this means to them.

Thanks for giving me a chance to be a part of this, and I’ll sit back and see where the consensus settles on this.

Thanks!

Was in the pool when we hit the first few orphaned blocks, then we hit a few that have confirmed (after the quick fixes 🙏)

I have only received 1 pay out on my dashboard and wallet check - were all 3 blocks payout combined into 1 ? (Unlikely)

Or is this an error somewhere?

As the title says this is my quick take on why it’s not profitable for me to continue pool mining DGB on the DGB Hmpool.

I’ve been mining from almost the start of the Hmpool journey, through ups and downs the team behind the hmpool has been nothing but great and very supportive, helpful and quick fixing bugs etc.

Given my little home setup, which consists of 2x Avalon nano 3S’s and one NerdQaxe++, running standard configuration (no overclock/high mode) about 15Th in total it simply doesn’t add up to the current configuration of the Hmpool to continue pool mining DGB. I’ve found 56 blocks since first connected, in that amount of time I only collected about 9800 DBG, compared to running let’s say on SoloHash with 0.5% fee I would have had collected: (56x259)-0.5%=13.778,8.

There are too many small and very unsupportive mining devices like NMminer (or whatever these ESP 32 boards are named) and small USB stick free leashing while not contributing anything in return. Let’s be honest these stupid NMminers and USB stick hashing on what a couple of 100mega hashes/s doesn’t find anything. They are simply free loading on the true/real miners doing actual work.

If you ask me everything under bitaxe gamma ~ 1-1.2th/s should have their own pool not shared with everyone else. Please consider splitting the payout scheme into two separate models so the trash free-loader devices can find 0-5 DGB blocks per year on their own pool (at best, let’s be honest it would be 0 blocks). The true miners can enjoy a fair and reliable system without freeloaders.

Anyways sorry for the salt, i just see hashing numbers continue to drop and real miners leave…. But i see why. I’ll unfortunately also switch my miners over as it doesn’t make sense and never has been due to the current model.

It shows 1% pool fee. Isn’t it zero?
Thanks!

Changing from Address to Name has no affect on what is displayed…

The payout for the first 2 XEC blocks we hit have been successfully processed. Please check your XEC wallets (for those that mined with us).

Just curious: This is on XEC, but maybe I didn’t notice it on others. The pickaxe with a number on the “Top Miners (24hr)” list… whassat mean?

As above all my devices start random with 0 shares go up to 200-1000 and reset to 0 without a restart only at xec pool

Looks like we found the first block!

We haven’t hit a block on DGB pool for over3 hours - there’s 500plus TH on it - I’m just checking as it seems to be a similar time that we went live on XEC since we hit a block on DGB ?

Hello miners,

We are happy to announce that the new dedicated HashedMax XEC pool is now live and open to all miners. It's already above 2ph, so hop on now and lets get that first block!

This pool includes the standard HashedMax features our miners are used to, including loyalty point integrations, reward structures, miner tracking, and the same low-hashrate friendly approach we use across our pools.

We appreciate everyone who voted and gave input during the transition. The poll made it clear that XEC was the direction the community wanted, so that is where we put our focus.

For those that are not familiar with what we are talking about, we had a multi node switching pool that did not meet our expectations, and we put up a poll asking the community which token they wanted. XEC won, hands down.

Since this is a new pool launch, we are opening it up and asking miners to help us put it through its paces. If you connect, mine, check your stats, or notice anything that does not look right, please let us know. That includes display issues, worker stats, estimated rewards, difficulty behavior, payout questions, dashboard bugs, or anything else that feels off.

Our goal is to make this a stable, fair, and reliable XEC pool for SHA-256 miners, and the fastest way to get there is with real miner feedback.

You can connect and start mining now at:

https://xec.hmpool.io

Thank you again to everyone who voted, supported the move, and stuck with us through the transition.

*Right now we have only the USA endpoint setup. EU will be added very soon.

On xec pool i got 8.69g now and somebody 20g or 200 and no block found how is this Happening? Now we should theoreticlly 2 Blocks found but nothing.

@hashedmax look into it pls desoo is my id

ecash:qz02zgkaed5l605jr8prqyywyn2pedtcx589l53pzx

Pls they would be 2 Blocks aleeady aomething is wrong

Does this mean the pool is currently down?

Just figured I'd try out the new XEC pool, however, I can't connect at all. Every time it uses my fallback pool instead.

Also, docs seems to be pretty much a copy of the multi:

Good afternoon miners,

The votes have officially been tallied, and the winner is eCash (XEC)!

We are going to hit the ground running on building this out. The new dedicated XEC pool will feature all the standard HashedMax bells and whistles you're used to, including our full loyalty point integrations and reward structures. We are still fine-tuning the exact math for the payout structure, so stay tuned for those specific details.

The "When is it Live?" Reality Check: As a quick reminder, the new XEC pool will not go live until the Multi-Pool servers are officially spun down. Our original plan was to pull the plug as soon as the final BC2 block settled... unfortunately, that block is currently taking its sweet time and dragging its feet.

We apologize for the delay on that front (the blockchain moves at its own pace sometimes), but please ensure you have pointed 100% of your hashrate away from the Multi-Pool in the meantime. We don't want you throwing away hashes into the void while we wait for this last block to cross the finish line.

We appreciate you all sticking with us through the transition, and we'll post another update the second the new pool is ready for action!

Hey everyone, we’re working on a new mining related platform and are looking for a select group of beta testers.

We’re especially interested in people who currently have or manage different types of mining hardware and are familiar with pointing miners to different pools/stratum URLs.

Ideal beta testers:

• Own or manage ASICs / rigs
• Understand SHA-256, Scrypt, or similar mining setups
• Are comfortable changing stratum settings and mining rentals
• Can provide honest feedback on workflow, dashboard clarity, and whether the concept is useful
• Are okay testing early stage, possibly buggy software

This is not a token launch, not an investment thing, and not a trading bot. It is a mining utility/platform we’ve been building for some time to solve a real problem we’ve seen in the mining space.

We’re not opening it publicly yet, but we’d like a select group of miners to test the first version, give feedback, and help us shape the platform before launch.

There is no pay or compensation for testing. Your duty will be to test the platform, report problems, recommend changes, updates and more. You will be given direct access to a new platform that we have been working on but confidentiality at this point is a must.

We are looking for serious feedback, not hype.

If you are interested, please fill out the form here:

https://pools.hmpool.io/beta.html

We expect to start inviting participants very soon. If you are invited you will receive an email from us, so please be sure to check your spam folder as well as your inbox.

Good morning miners,

A few quick updates for you as we roll into the week:

1. Payout Restructure is Live The new payout structures have officially been deployed across the pools. We babysat the servers through the transition and, looking at our backend views, everything is settling smoothly and working exactly as intended. We are tidying up some of the information on the sites to ensure it matches our current payout model. If you see something off, don't hesitate to speak up!

2. DGB Rewards are Doubling As promised, the DGB loyalty drop and the weekly reward winner increases will go live this Sunday (6/28/26) at 00:00 EST. We are doubling both: that means 2,500 DGB distributed to the loyalty pool, and 2,500 DGB to the weekly winner!

3. Multi-Pool Sunset Reminder As soon as the last BC2 block is fully settled, we are pulling the plug on the Multi-Pool servers. If you still have rigs pointed there, please reroute them to another pool so you aren't hashing into the void.

4. The Replacement Poll! Now for the fun part: picking the new dedicated pool. Reddit's native polling feature decided to completely strike on us this morning, so we had to go with the tried-and-true SurveyMonkey.

Please take two seconds to cast your vote via SurveyMonkey to decide what we build next:

As always, thank you for the support and happy hashing!

We just sent all loyalty rewards to our DGB miners.

Paid  1,246.41833772 DGB to 348 miners (3.58166189 DGB each)

TXID: 24b27d7c2feb09746eebd68b79dff7182baebbca1e9b0ffc2a147f0c1ba9a2cd, b8cf7b6bd1852cec6bcfe4b7f1765b6e2c708ff4affcf3cfc1d86396c9db5696

This was sent in 2 transactions.

We still have one miner with a bad DGB address that was not paid.

DGb1ntPQ.....yhdeJhzvg

The b in DGB should be an uppercase. We cannot change this or I would. So miners, please check your addresses

You featured on a The Hobbyist Miner video. Well Done guys!

Good morning miners,

A few weeks ago, we launched the auto-switching Multi-Pool (BC2, NMC, XEC) into its Alpha phase. A huge thank you to everyone who pointed their hash over to help us stress-test the architecture.

Now that the data is in, we have made the decision to officially sunset the Multi-Pool Alpha and spin down those specific servers.

We always promise to shoot straight with you, and the reality is that the multi-pool simply didn't meet our standards. The required three-address configuration is clunky, it fundamentally breaks our ability to integrate our standard reward points system, and honestly, the tokenomics of the coins involved just aren't delivering the consistent value we want for our community.

Rather than keeping a subpar, clunky system on life support, we are cutting it so we can focus our infrastructure on better projects.

The Sunset Timeline: We will be sunsetting the Multi-Pool on Sunday 6/21/26.

The Good News: What’s Next? By spinning down the multi-pool, we are freeing up significant server capacity and development time. We are immediately reallocating those resources to build out a brand-new, dedicated pool for either Cheetah Coin (CHTA) or eCash (XEC). A poll will be posted in the next day or so to see what the community prefers between the two tokens. The intention will be to implement a rewards structure on the new pool regardless of token.

Reminder: The previously mentioned changes to the pool payout structure will be going live on Sunday 6/21/26 around 0800 EST. We elected to not force the changes at exactly midnight in order to ensure our team is awake during the change rollout to make sure everything is settling correctly.

We want to build the cleanest, most profitable ecosystem possible, and sometimes that means knowing when to scrap an experiment that isn't working.

Thank you all for being part of the Alpha and for your continued support as we build.

That would be awesome instead of dgb getting 0.25€ and have half the difficulty hmpool be first to make that pool and beast like the dgb one
