NiceHash pool

Nothing to set up. You earn BTC for every share your virtual miners deliver, paid to your NiceHash wallet every 4 hours. See How are my earnings calculated?

Your own pool

Your mining power goes directly to your pool, and your pool pays you under its own rules. NiceHash pays no earnings for these packages. To use your own pool:

Select your pool under Select Your Pool, or choose Add new pool. It must support Bitcoin (SHA-256) mining. Your saved pools are also listed in the My Pools tab.
Verify it with the Pool verificator shown under the pool list.
Confirm the purchase with your 2FA code or one-time password (OTP).

Note: You choose the pool when you buy a package, Fixed or Flexible. It cannot be changed while the package is running.
